Fettered Lives
Published By: PUDR on eSS | Published Date: June, 20 , 2007This report narrates how the contract labour system ensures that hundreds of contract workers
employed in different occupations in JNU – construction workers, safai karamcharis, library staff,
mess workers, etc – are being denied even statutory minimum wage, which is in any case pegged too
low (see box) and is nothing more than a ’subsistence’ wage. In addition, wherever one could examine
their working conditions, they were found too absymal and devoid of the most basic requirements. URL: [http://www.pudr.org/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_details&Itemid=63&gid=131]
