Noida Phase 2 protests turned violent after days of peaceful demonstrations by workers demanding fair wages. What began on Friday intensified on Monday, with vehicles set on fire and major routes like Noida Greater Noida Road, Sector 62 and Chilla Border heavily affected. The core issue is simple. Workers earning ₹11,000 to ₹12,000 are questioning why their wages remain stagnant when Haryana increased minimum wages by nearly 35%, raising incomes to around ₹18,000. If one state can do it, why not another? Authorities have now promised double overtime, bonuses by November and even basic rights like weekly offs. But why were these essentials addressed only after protests turned intense? This is not just about Noida. It reflects a larger reality where wages are kept low to maintain competitiveness while workers struggle to survive. When basic rights become demands, unrest is inevitable. Jai Hind. Jai Bharat.🇮🇳

CA is making history: $20 minimum wage for 500,000+ fast food workers across the state starting April 1, 2024. We're making sure these workers—people who are often the breadwinners of their families—have a seat at the table to fight for higher wages & better working conditions.

Noida DM Megha Roopam is saying that if workers from outsourcing companies protest, then the licences of those companies will be suspended. How is this going to solve the problem of low wages for workers in Noida? This will only make these workers unemployed. From Gyanesh Kumar to his family members, all are incompetent?
