As production resumed in the I- phone manufacturing plant of Taiwan-based Wistron Corp in Kolar, months after it was vandalised over salary issues, Karnataka Industries Minister Jagadish Shettar appealed to the employees to never resort to violence and resolve problems with the government help.

Shettar was at the Wistron's Narasapura facility in Kolar district, where a section of workers had gone on a rampage in December last causing destruction, over salary related issues.

The Minister said unnecessary incidents such as violence can affect the lives of thousands of employees.

"If any problem arises in the future, bring the matter to the notice of the District authorities and authorities concerned," he said.

Shettar interacted with the workers and inquired about their present status.

The company had removed its vice president following the violence and admitted that there were lapses, which will be rectified.

as per existing labour laws company can not hire manpower on fix term contract, but allowed since manmohan singhs government to give job contract to middlemen/ contractor, who can hire manpower and do not have to follow all labor laws. These middlemen exploit both company and labor. Congress and communists are against reforming labor laws and also inflame exploited labour, nice game.
