BPO UNION ensures Cashify.in pays employee his dues without delay!
February 26, 2018Bravo Aman for taking a strong stand.
Please share this with your friends/ colleagues in BPO-IT Companies. Companies will not be allowed to arm twist employees anymore. Active & passive action gets the job done – most times.

NASSCOM Skills Registry & BPIAI eTrack choose – dustbin or court – Supreme Court Upholds ‘PRIVACY’ as Fundamental Right!
August 25, 2017We said it a long time ago – read related posts on our Blog:
Retract & Recall – Etrack, National Skills Registry
BPO Industry Association concedes to BPO Union
This is BIG from the Supreme Court of India – Privacy IS a Fundamental Right.
We have always maintained the same line and now we, among many others stand vindicated. Here is how NASSCOM & BPIAI blatantly violate the SC verdict …
- They collect a lot of data, past records & what not about all candidates, including biometrics – which may still be okay, yet debatable.
- They put it into a combined repository where it is SHARED among all the member companies. Here is where they directly VIOLATE our Right To Privacy and this is where a lot of us might want to sue them.
- BPO & IT Companies will also have to prove conclusively WHY all this personal data is needed for providing employment. And be sure, we will ask.
Let BPO/ IT/ Telecom Companies be WARNED – stop sharing of data without explicit permission of the candidate/ employee. Not just that, we’ve checked with some leading lawyers and they also feel – you CANNOT force a candidate to share this data and be part of a registry as pre-condition to a job. Companies trying this trick may be booked under multiple sections of the IPC, making their people liable under criminal sections punishable by fine, jail term or both.
HR Staff Beware – Since the seniors usually do not do much, it is left to the junior HR staff to do this dirty (real ILLEGAL) work. The individual HR Staff will be more culpable than the company. Kindly REFUSE to do the Company’s dirty work else you might open yourself up to the possibility of Jail Term.
Nothing less than COMPLETELY WITHDRAWAL of these programs is acceptable. Else we have staff from most major companies who are ready to sue their respective companies, NASSCOM & BPIAI for violating their right to privacy.

We Are Still Here!
March 24, 2016In The Quiet: We are always working for our colleagues in the BPO Industry. Over the last 2-3 years we’ve not been very vocal. Yet there has been hectic activity in the trenches. Its been an unending task of finding companies who treat their staff badly and ensuring that they are forced (via media/ public/ industry/ legal pressure) to do the right things.
Keep writing to us with cases that need help and we shall keep sorting them out, as always!

45000 Hits & Counting: We Were Always Here
May 4, 2014No we did not curl up & die as the rumors were in the marketplace. But a lot of senior people in IT & BPO wished we did. Our team had met up with some senior Industry representatives 3 years back and agreed that we shall not create too much of noise as it brought the BPO/ IT Industry a bad name if every issue came to Media glare.
Having said that we were individually & collectively appalled all this time at the state of affairs but very reluctantly held back to keep our word. After all this wait we are still to see the fulfilled promises that were made to us by the other side. So logically, we’re forced to abandon the ceasefire agreement and get back to some aggressively visible action. The Media, as always, is very very very (& many times more VERY) supportive. Thank You friends!
Recently: Two cases have been shared with the media in the last 2 days and their response/ support came within minutes. These cases are heart wrenching in their detail. Seems that some very large BPO’s have deliberately employed regressed sadists to run their HR. Many of them emotionless, un-empathetic & immoral to the core. All of them pathetic!
You shall see our resumed ‘action’ in the verbal sense of the word too – meaning – we’re going to get screamingly vocal again – also meaning – we never ever stopped working. If in doubt please check our swelling numbers & our support base to feel some intimidation through sheer numbers.
Our Next Step: we are in the process of Black Listing some chronic People & Companies across the BPO/ IT segment in India. Just to serve as a caution/ warning to those dealing with the probable names that might crop up.
