Overview
- NITES says nearly 2,500 TCS employees in Pune were forced to resign or abruptly removed in recent weeks and has asked Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to intervene.
- The union argues the actions amount to retrenchment under the Industrial Disputes Act and alleges a lack of government notice and retrenchment compensation.
- TCS rejects the claims as inaccurate, saying only a limited number were affected by a planned skills realignment and that severance and support were provided.
- The Union Labour Ministry earlier referred complaints to Maharashtra’s labour department, and the union says it is still awaiting a substantive response.
- International scrutiny has intensified after U.S. senators questioned TCS over layoffs and H‑1B hiring during an EEOC probe, while larger job-loss figures circulating online remain unverified.
