Thousands of employees of the South Korean company have been on strike since September 9. They are demanding better wages, 8-hour working days, and union recognition.
Indian police on Tuesday detained around 600 employees of Samsung Electronics, one of the world’s largest semiconductor and computer chip manufacturers, and union members for organizing a street protest.
For the past four weeks, thousands of employees of the South Korean company in India have been on strike over their working conditions near the factory in Chennai and at other locations.
According to senior state police official Charles Sam Rajadurai, the protesters were detained because their march was causing public inconvenience.
“Because their March was causing public inconvenience”
THAT’S THE FUCKING POINT!
And beating down protestors is the cops’ point
Only Indian government can inconvenience the people. No one else can! 😡😡
Were you not aware of the Indian public’s innate right to not be inconvenienced?
