Let us unite for employment security!

Govt. should intervene in ensuring job security!!

The developments in Satyam have certainly come as a shock to all of us. It is a thunderbolt in the background of the already bleak scenario following the global financial crisis.

The state govt. of AP and the Govt. of India should intervene in protecting the interest of the employees associated with the company. This is not an issue pertaining to family matters but the one concerned with 53000+ lives associated with it and the public investments that came in.


It is certain that we are presently in turbulent times. The brand name has been tarnished with the developments that occurred in the last one month. However this failure which resulted in the inefficiency and fraudulent behaviour of a few in the top management doesn't in any way reflect the capabilities of the employees associated with the company.


The news/rumours about possible takeovers/mergers floating around further deteriorate the situation. It is in these troubled times times that we need to stand united. Standing united will help us in snatching the opportunity that shall knock in the days to come. Panicking and getting frustrated will only weaken the entire employee work force and shall not in any way help.


Professionals (from 60 companies) associated with ForIT condemn the statements made by the Industry captains on the issue of recruiting Satyam Professionals. These statements in no way come as a solace to those who are driven to a situation for no sin of theirs. We come out in open to say that the professionals working in other companies don't subscribe to such statements. We are with our brothers and sisters in Satyam in these times of turbulence.


Media reports indicate the non payment of wages to professionals for the coming two months. We demand the govt. to intervene atleast at this stage and ensure the payment and safety of professionals.


FORIT pledges to be with Satyamites in this tough period, and we shall strive for the unity of IT professionals in ensuring the job security and protecting our employment.


Let us all unite to protect our employment and demand the govt. to move towards ensuring job security.

“United We are Secure”
