NHRC notice to Centre over ‘anti-labour practices’ at warehouse in Haryana

In response to reports that one of a multinational company's warehouses in Manesar, Haryana, is asking its workers to swear that they won't use the lavatory or water breaks until they've finished unloading packages from six trucks, each measuring 24 feet long, after their team's 30-minute tea break has ended, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) sent notice to the Central Government.According to the reports, one of the employees, who makes ₹10,088 a month working 10 hours a day, five days a week, claimed that they are unable to unload more than four trucks in a single day, even if they work nonstop (including the half-hour lunch and tea breaks). A female employee also stated that she must evaluate 60 small things or 40 medium-sized products per hour while on duty, and she must stand for nine hours every day. The global corporation has faced such allegations abroad as well.
