"Unethical Transfer Practices": IT Workers Body To Centre Against TCS", 15 November 2023

IT workers' union NITES (Nascent Information Technology Employees Senate) has approached the Ministry of Labour and Employment against the alleged "unethical transfer practices" of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS).

[...]

NITES has issued a statement saying it received more than 180 complaints that TCS has allegedly been "systematically forcing" more than 2,000 employees to transfer to different cities without proper notice or consultation, causing immense hardship to them and their families.

Pune-based NITES claimed that the company has cautioned the employees that failure to comply with the transfer directions will result in disciplinary actions.

[...]

NITES claimed that TCS "is putting its employees through unnecessary hardship and is violating their rights".

It urged the Ministry of Labour and Employment to probe the company's transfer practices to determine if they are in violation of labour laws, and if so "take appropriate action" against the company.

An email to TCS seeking comments on the issue did not elicit a response.
