Hundreds of Delhi Metro workers gathered on July 10 to protest against gross violations of labour laws by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) officials and the contract companies used by the DMRC. Contract workers of DMRC, including ticket-vending operators, housekeepers and security guards, have been demanding the payment of minimum wages, the facilities of insurance and pension funds, double rate payment for overtime, weekly day-off and other entitlements provided by the labour laws.
The contract workers’ union, the Delhi Metro Kamgar Union (DMKU), has been organising the contract workers of Delhi Metro for last 2 years and has achieved favourable verdicts in a number of cases filed against the contract companies of the DMRC in the Labour Court. Despite these, the DMRC officials continue to be involved with the contract companies in the gross violation of labour laws. Visit the union website here.
