English Indian Clays Ltd employees' unions say shutdown has pushed hundreds of staff and their families into dire straits
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM The resumption of operations at the Kochu Veli unit of English Indian Clays Ltd (EICL) continues to be mired in uncertainty, a full 10 months after the company management suspended operations citing losses. The grim situation, which persists amid the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, has pushed hundreds of EICL employees and their families into dire straits, say EICL employees' unions. While the unions blame the company management of apathy, the latter attributes the delay in restarting operations to the pandemic's second wave and the consequent sluggish market. The EICL employees unions have now sought the urgent intervention of the State government for getting the unit reopened.More Related News
