Did you mean blue-collar workers can't be fired? > I can corroborate everything ...

When we quit and go to another company, we are given the option of transferring it to the next employer. > There is mass absenteeism if there's a festival or someone needs help in the fields Anecdotal.

Show me the relevant Google queries that you would use to get the data. It will be a learning experience for one of us.

You are an ignorant fool. Do some Google search and check it out. Just coming here and typing "Ha" is nothing. As an Indian myself, what the article is saying is so obvious that your comments are laughable.

You are entitled to a PF/pension if you are an employee of,a form. But if you are an employee of a labor firm which then sends you to Mahindra and Mahindra to work - you are not entitled to a pension from Mahindra. On top of that if you get fired after two years, you haven't worked long enough to be counted as an employee of the labor form or as a de facto employee of Mahindra. Hence no PF for you. This is the scam people are forced to use as common place because of higher and fire laws heavily favouring labor. Edit: I must add that firms also,actively try to screw labor over. I used the word forced because I was referring to a firm which did not have malicious intent. As for searching, try Wikipedia. It will get you to the labor laws in question and from there the laws of the land. Further the issue with anecdote is when they are extrapolated too far from a single incident. But I am regurgitating the experience of multiple different individuals who have worked in many different firms. This is the basis upon which the firms expansion plans are made. Also, after the murder of the manager at the maruti plant, there's is yet another distinct urge to remove labor from the equation and avoid situations where your managers can be killed. Heck - Labor management firms exist, and are used in every industry in India. You can see references to them in multiple news articles when the issue of labor is discussed. The level of disintermediation required that makes outsourcing labor viable as a business model is in itself a red flag. Further this is what HR managers and consultants take for granted - they are the ones who named firms which use interns as cheap throwaway labor, and a plethora of,other practices that horrified me but were treated as commonplace and business-as-usual. If you haven't seen as absenteeism for festivals and so on, I must ask where your factories are located.

  > As for searching, try Wikipedia. It will get you to the labor laws in question and from there the laws of the land. All I see is, "Wikipedia/Google. Therefore, I am right." I know contract workers are not entitled to pensions from client firms. What relation does that have with the article I was commenting on, or my comments? Look, your anecdotal evidence does not correlate with mine at all. I will add that the labour/owner dynamics vary a lot from state to state. Tamil Nadu, Kerala, UP, Rajasthan are all vastly different from each other. Absenteeism during festivals? I have heard of that in Kerala. Not in Karnataka, not in UP. Managers getting physically attacked? I have seen that in UP, seen threats in Karnataka, Andhra, not seen in Tamil Nadu. This is exactly why sound analysis based on sound data is important.
