We lost our child, who was working in an MNC yesterday. Our child was made to work 7 day a week for the past 4 months. The last few weeks the work hours were increased and the work timings were 8 am to 1 am. 17 hours a day for 7 days a week. The 26 year old’s body couldn’t take the strain and our child had a fatal cardiac attack. What is the process for filing a case against the manager for forcing such strenuous working conditions and the MNC for one, encouraging such practices and two, for not having a system in place to check and prevent such mal practices?
It may be desirable to consult the Labour lawyer practicing in your area . One may consider making a police complaint explain the facts . The police may take cognisance and may file criminal case against the person responsible . One can also consider making a claim for compensation in an appropriate forum .
