Call Centers Get a Union

They have floated a union for Call Center employees. Hmm. Isn't it funny that Call Centers that owe their existence to the capitalists, now do something that could be termed 'leftist'? Here are some gems from this Mid-day article:

"The long-term plan is to secure enough presence to negotiate with call centre managements on behalf of employees," said Ajay Kaundals, managing director, CBPOP, Mumbai.

Wonderful. This is what the doctor ordered.

"Most call centres have only nightshifts, and many employees get hooked to caffeine and cigarettes to help them cope with the pressure," said Kaundals

I am on the floor, laughing my a** off.
We're, like, gonna get a union, dude on Mid-day
