In Chennai, the IT employees’ union staged a protest against sudden mass layoffs at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). The protest was held near the company’s office, where employees and union members gathered to demand fair treatment and job security.
The union said that many workers, including senior staff, were asked to resign without proper reasons. Some employees were told they had “performance issues.” The union argued that this was only an excuse used to remove staff. Protesters claimed the layoffs were unfair since TCS and other IT companies are still making profits and taking on new projects.
Union leaders urged the state government and labour authorities to act quickly. They said IT companies must follow labour laws just like other industries.
Employees who joined the protest expressed fear about their future. They said sudden job loss brings financial stress to families and leaves workers uncertain about their careers. The union also demanded a proper system where employees can challenge unfair dismissals.
The protest highlights the growing concerns of IT workers in India. It shows their struggle for job security and workplace rights.
