CPI-MLL MP Raja Ram Singh criticized Oracle Corporation for reportedly laying off around 12,000 employees in India. He emphasized the importance of protecting workers’ rights and holding both the company and the government accountable in the IT sector.
Singh highlighted the significant benefits that companies like Oracle receive from India’s policy environment and called the mass layoffs a threat to job security. He urged the government to intervene to prevent arbitrary job cuts and ensure compliance with labor laws.
The MP stressed the need for a detailed explanation from Oracle on the layoffs and emphasized the government’s responsibility to safeguard the dignity of labor and prevent workers from being treated as disposable.
