According to an official of World Trade Centre commercial complex, where the VIVO factory is situated, the company had asked its employees to leave after lunch as they did not have much work
Workers at VIVO factory turned violent on Tuesday evening when the company's management sacked over 60 people workers without any prior notice in Ecotech-I in Greater Noida on Tuesday.
Sources say that, over the last couple of months, the company has handed pink slips to an estimated 700 workers without prior notice.
The incident took a violent turn on Tuesday, when one of the security guards of the company allegedly slapped one of the 60 retrenched workers and shooed him away when he asked about his wages and his job.
Soon after the incident, workers gathered in numbers and staged a protest. They also broke windows of the building and cell phone assembly units in the factory.
A clash between security guards and workers continued outside the company gates for about half an hour, before police took the situation in hand. Some workers received minor injuries during the clash.
Police listened to both sides and brought the matter under control.
"The situation is under control. We had asked the workers not to indulge in any kind of violence and had also asked company officials to mend their policies in terms of recruitment of workers and sacking them." said Nishank Sharma, Circle Officer-2 Greater Noida.
According to an official of World Trade Centre commercial complex, where the VIVO factory is situated, the company had asked its employees to leave after lunch as they did not have much work.
"The employees are on contract so no notice has to be served prior to the sacking. They attacked our security guards and ransacked the factory. We are estimating a loss of around Rs 10-12 lakh. We shall identify the attackers through CCTV and lodge an FIR against them," said a company official.
