No talks for two days, GCC urges protesting staff to resume work
The New Indian Express Chennai
|August 13, 2025
AFTER negotiations between the Greater Chennai Corporation and the protesting conservancy workers stopped on Sunday evening, the civic body in a detailed statement on Tuesday urged the protesters to "resume work" through the private company that has now bagged the contract for solid waste management in Zone 5 (Royapuram) and Zone 6 (Tondiarpet).
It asked the workers to do so forthwith, keeping "public health" in mind while looking forward to the outcomes from the Madras High Court and the Industrial Tribunal, where matters related to the workers' concerns about privatisation of solid waste management are pending.
Meanwhile, members of AICCTU-LTUC-Uzhaippor Urimai Iyakkam (UUI), representing the workers, petitioned GCC Commissioner J Kumaragurubaran, urging him to convene a meeting in the presence of Labour Minister CV Ganesan and Labour Commissioner SA Raman to resolve the issues.
