Laid off by MNC after 19 year without compensation and a family to feed

6 years ago

Dear Mrs Yusuf,

Hello.

Firstly, I am seeking help for a former colleague and dear friend who is located in Mumbai. We had both worked together during my employment at a company, a previously German owned, now China owned MNC with worldwide offices and production plants.

Sushil is currently serving his termination with the company which he had faithfully served for the past 19 years after I took the initiative to recommend his employment from a vendor status to employee in 2008.

We have had many successful years working together and I commend Sushil for his sheer dedication, committed and unrelenting efforts to serve the company. We both stuck with the company when it filed for insolvency in 2009 which also resulted in many employees being laid off, though primarily in Europe.

Over the years, more of my team members were laid off without my knowledge and it is saddening to learn that Sushil is the latest victim of corporate politics without regard for the years of service or consideration of the family he must feed.

The reason I am writing is that the management the company, specifically the HR Manager informed Sushil that his services are not longer required and that he has until October 2017 to resign but without any compensation. The deadline was however extended to March 2018 firm but he has still yet to find a job. Sushil then learnt that the management had hired a new employee to replace him which was shocking because the reason for termination of services provided by the HR Manager to Sushil was due to audit findings and they revealed little without elaborating further when he probed.

I have known Sushil for almost 20 years and I can vouch for his commitment and dedication as a worker and his integrity as a person.

Sushil confided in me and asked for help in employment but since I am located in Singapore, I do not understand the system well enough in India to offer much advice. I did however gain his approval to seek out pro bono legal aid as he is at a loss and showing signs of depression.

Please help Sushil in seeking justice.

You may contact him direct for further information if you feel his case warrants a righteous act of intervention and justice.

His mobile number is +91 98192 33553

Sincerely
