Sanitary workers stage hunger strike, urge CM to fulfil his job promise
The New Indian Express
|October 26, 2025
SANITATION workers from Royapuram and Thiru-Vi-Ka Nagar zones, led by UUI, LTUC and AICCTU, staged a hunger strike near Rajarathinam Stadium, Egmore, on Saturday, condemning the alleged unlawful dismissal of over 1,000 workers by the GCC since August, also urging Chief Minister MK Stalin to directly intervene and fulfil his 2021 election promise of job regularisation.
CPM state secretary P Shanmugam, who joined the protest, said, "Permanent jobs have helped many sanitary workers' children rise in life, even becoming corporation commissioners. Without job regularisation, such progress is impossible. Until modern machines replace manual work, workers need job security, not exploitation under private contractors. Government must intervene and regularise their jobs."
