Why were the workers protesting?
The workers had reportedly raised several demands, including bonus payments, weekly offs, overtime pay, and timely salaries. They also called for the formation of a sexual harassment committee, a grievance cell, and the issuance of salary slips.
Reportedly, Haryana’s recent 35% wage hike for minimum-wage workers has set a precedent that Noida workers are now demanding as well.
