Corporation workers want eight-hour shift, basic facilities
The industrial tribunal has ruled in favour of the workers’ union in its dispute with the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC), mainly over reduction in the number of working hours, overtime pay and clean toilets.
In 2019, the State Government had referred the dispute between the Chennai Managaratchi Ozhiyargal Vizhipunarvu Sangam and the Corporation to the tribunal.
The union said its members worked in two shifts — day shift from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and the night shift from 5.30 p.m. to 8 a.m.
