CITU demonstrations at various places
Staff Reporter
Tirupur: Textile workers affiliated to Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) staged demonstrations at Angeripalayam and along Tirupur-Kangayam road on Monday in protest against the demand made by Tirupur Exporters’ Association to include apparel export sector into the ambit of National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS).
The agitators said that the recent request by TEA to Union Textiles Minister Dayanidhi Maran for the sector’s inclusion under NREGS would affect the job prospects of the thousands of workers in the sector.
According to them, the argument of TEA that the appeal was pertaining to textile units in rural sector alone is farcical.
“The aim behind the move is to retrench the workforce employed at wages of Rs. 175 a day and above with a meagre pay as the salaries stipulated under NREGS is far below Rs. 100 a day,” the workers pointed out.
