We have 11 loaders who have got the labour card for unloading, but the trade union activists do not allow them to do their job. Is this fair and does it send good signals to prospective investors?&#8221; asked Sheila.<\/p>\n<p>V-Star Creations has 20 units in the state where 1,500 employees work. It was set up in 1995 and in the last fiscal the firm&#8217;s total turnover touched Rs.22 crore. This fiscal, it is expecting a 50 percent growth. Around 20 percent of the firm&#8217;s products are exported.<\/p>\n<p>However, veteran CITU leader M.M. Lawerence seemed unmoved by the owner unloading goods himself.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That is good because let him know that unloading is not an easy job and now that he has unloaded, he should see that he does not fall sick because of the hard labour,&#8221; Lawerence said.<\/p>\n<p>The incident comes at a time when across the state trade union activists levy &#8220;nokku kooli&#8221; &#8211; which sees wages being paid to trade union members for simply watching materials being unloaded by workers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Militant trade unionism seems to be raising its head in Kerala once again, with a manufacturer Friday approaching the state high court and also threatening to move out of the state after persisting problems with unloading goods. &#8220;We have approached the high court seeking its intervention in the matter,&#8221; said Sheila Kochuouseph, who runs the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[2071],"class_list":["post-8433","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-top-law-news","tag-trade-union-trouble"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Trade union trouble: Kerala manufacturer moves court  - Legal News India - Supreme Court &amp; High Court Updates<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Militant trade unionism seems to be raising its head in Kerala once again, with a manufacturer Friday approaching the state high court and also - Get the latest legal news from the Supreme Court, High Courts, and government.
