Mahasatta-2008-Marathi

Globalisation has brought with it methods of strategic manipulation by the top management of multinational corporations. Introduction of ‘Contract Labour’ and ‘Project Workers’ has put the poor workers at the receiving end. When a Mumbai-based MNC expelled 70 project workers, they and their families fought for their rights tooth and nail but lost, for they believed law could give them their jobs back! Arvind and Arun,expelled workers of the well-established power company Indo Power, are spearheadingthe fight of their co-workers for the last seven years. They were expelled without any intimation or legal notice. In spite of High Court orders in their favour, their
reinstatement languishes because the company has appealed in the Supreme Court, and the case has been wandering in the corridors of law. When their last hope, the new company charter, is declared conspicuously excluding them, the lives of the 70 families are shattered. Arvind and his co-worker Khan pour petrol over themselves and put themselves afire. Two days later they die a tragic death in the hospital, hoping to shake up this lazy system.
