Today all over the country, Indian and foreign monopolies in the service, construction, financial and other sectors employ workers as managers, on contract basis and as trainees instead of hiring them in the general category. By doing so, the capitalists deny the workers their right to organize in unions and other labour rights. This is happening blatantly in the education, railway, transport, bank and insurance sectors. The majority of the workers are highly exploited and denied their basic rights on the false claims of the company that workers are receiving huge salaries. It is known that Tata who is portrayed as a labour friendly management, has the same interests as other capitalists and is no different.
