Is CITU important in the country? Or is labor welfare important? Shouldn’t the workers decide on this? -Samsung factory.

October 10, 2024 • Makkal Adhikaram

Samsung factory is a factory set up near Sri Perumandur. The factory has been operating since 2007. The workers have been protesting here for two months to press their demands. The workers’ demand is a legitimate one. Samsung agreed to negotiate with the Tamil Nadu government and fulfill the request.

However, a contradictory request to Samsung and CITU was not accepted by the company management. That is, Samsung did not agree to the formation of CITU union in this company. On the one hand, political parties are indirectly instigating them.

On the other hand, it is a prestige issue for the Tamil Nadu government, on the other hand, the problem of the workers suffering, beyond all this problem, it is unacceptable that the CITU union will work only if we hold the flag here. Did you come to work? Or did you come to the company to hold the flag? Can the CITU answer these two questions?

Moreover, thousands of families can survive by relying on one enterprise. But who can survive by relying on this association? No one can survive. Only those who survive will be screaming there. Therefore, the action taken by the DMK government is justified. On one side is the welfare of the workers and on the other side is the issue of prestige of the government, the action to be taken is right.
