This is outsourcing with a difference, I found to my shock at Economic Times:
A French textile firm has ordered nine of its workers should move to a factory at Bangalore or face termination.
The average salary they get in France is 1321 Euros and at Bangalore, where they will have to work six days a week, they will get 69 Euros per month plus one month pay as bonus every year. There are health benefits, of course.
The textile firm is doing this not because they like Bangalore, but because according to French regulations, a business has to offer its employees the choice of another job before terimating them.
Francois Mores, the boss of the firm at Castres, finds these rules "stupid".
But what he is doing, it is not so stupid.
Yes I read that story in Hindu. Just an example of mindless Government stipulation. It's a mockery of protection.
ReplyDeleteYes, but ruthless execution of the policy on the textile firm's part...
ReplyDeleteTrue but then if there is no other option what can that firm do?
ReplyDeleteIsn't there anywhere in France or Algeria they could have gotten transferred?
ReplyDeleteThis seems sooo vindictive...
