Hi
Nice article and thanks to Mr Sawant for bringing this three year old aretricle back to limelight.
Probably new members have an opportunity to read this article.
But I am not in agreement with Mr Sawant on his remarks about corruption etc.
If we study the history of India, probably worst period was between 1960 and 1980 when corruption was ruling the country.....be it politics,private and government and Unions were no exception to this.
This issue that is being raised here is here not abou the past but about what is the future?
I had been for the past one year closely watching thge work culture in manufacturing, service sector and in BPOs and ITs.
Work culture in manufacturing sectors has imroved a lot and both managements and employees show tremendous amount of maturity in dealing with situations and issues. New methods, shiftying, closure, disciplinary actions are much more smoother today as these industries have learned over a period of one century.
More akin to manufacturing Sectors is the Call centres and some BPOs where more monotonous repetitive work need to be performed and this can not be compensated by money alone. Continuos night shifts, pressure of work, indiscriminate sacking, all will lead to dissatisfaction and some form of un ionism is expected soon if the professionals do not wake up and advise the concerned managements correctly.
I am not talkin g about the correctness... but about a possibility as indicated in the history of unionism.
Siva
