PRESS RELEASE
The Central Committee of the Trade Union Centre of India (TUCI) extends its full and unwavering support to the ongoing struggles of industrial Contract workers in the Delhi–Noida region.
The workers have risen in protest against exploitative practices of capitalist and corporate contract companies, which continue to extract labour power under conditions of unjustly low wages, long working hours, and denial of basic labour rights. These conditions amount to a clear violation of existing labour laws and officially notified wage rates.
This struggle represents a fundamental class conflict between low wages and high profits, where workers are asserting their right to dignity, fair compensation, and humane working conditions.
TUCI’s Key Demands:
Immediate withdrawal of police forces deployed against protesting workers.
Unconditional release of all arrested workers and activists.
Strict enforcement of labour laws and minimum wage notifications.
Declaration of a ₹35,000 standard minimum wage for workers in Delhi.
End to exploitative contract labour practices in corporate sectors.
The TUCI strongly condemns the repressive measures adopted by the government led by Narendra Modi, which seeks to suppress legitimate democratic struggles through force and intimidation.
We call upon all political parties, trade unions, democratic organisations, and civil society groups to extend their solidarity and active support to this important workers’ movement. The outcome of this struggle will have far-reaching implications for the working class across North India and beyond.
The TUCI Central Committee reiterates that the rights and dignity of workers must not be sacrificed in the name of profit and corporate growth. The unity and determination of the working class will continue to drive this struggle forward.
