Several members of the Tamil Nadu Civil Supplies Corporation (TNCSC) Joint Trade Union Federation staged a protest outside the TNCSC zonal office in Tiruvarur on Monday, opposing the outsourcing of loadmen work and demanding immediate resolution of long-pending grievances.
Protesters said outsourcing would displace experienced loadmen and urged the withdrawal of tenders floated for contract-based loading operations in godowns, rice mills, and storage centres. They demanded restoration of the earlier system of directly engaging load workers and called for timely wage payments without arbitrary deductions under the pretext of recovery.
