We strongly condemn the alleged abuse of #Shahi management staff in their abetment of this suicide.
We demand that #Shahi's top management take action against the alleged perpetrators & provide relief & justice to the deceased worker's family. #ShameOnShahi
We also demand that #Shahi engage with us to address workplace issues and violations at Shahi operations in Bangalore. #ShameOnShahi
In a letter he left behind, he blamed the Quality AGM Lokesh and the HR AGM Anil for their mistreatment of him.
Even after multiple workplace violations at #Shahi sites, the administration has yet to wake up and continues to jeopardise even more workers’ lives.
On June 24, BM Kiran, a 28-year-old garment worker & resident of Berembady in Gundlupet taluk, died by suicide, leaving a note alleging harassment by #ShahiExports Management. He was a former employee of #Shahi Garment Unit 43 in Chowhalli in Chamarajanagar district.

To GLU & @cleanclothes, Primark referenced a mandatory threshold for recognition, saying "the union has not met this threshold". The Children’s Place said "requirements..have not been met"
...but with 26% workforce membership, GLU far surpasses the 10% minimum in 🇮🇳 law 2/

Today a worker lost her life due to gross negligence from garment factories who put the life of workers at risk on a daily basis by providing them with unsafe transport & to make it worse, charging them for it! Please listen @governmentofkar #Tumkur #Karnataka #GarmentWorkers

Yesterday was #LabourDay: a day on which garment workers stood together with other workers to stand up for their rights: for higher wages, safe factories or to be simply paid what they're owed. In South India, women garment workers marched for their rights.

Workers gathered on #MayDay2023, celebrating the history & aspirations of labour movements today.
A sea of workers in red raising slogans calling for #decentwork.
When will women's unpaid work become a rallying point of resistance in the larger labour movement?
#LabourDay

This is the reality of #Suicides in India.
Shouldn't you be outraged about this too?
If a crass comment makes you outrage so much, how much more should you outrage about crass employers leading to loss of life?
#SuicidePrevention is everybody's business.
