In a branch of cognizant in metukupam, located at premises of ASV suntech park the new job trainees suffer a lot with a high job time of 10.30 hrs a day with a weekly one day leave (Sunday). According to international labour law, workers are not supposed to be treated after 8hours under their dissatisfaction or if with their satisfaction they have to be paid with an extra wage for extra working time. Problems faced by them: 1.women: Women trainees leave the campus by 7.30pm and they face teasings and fear to walk in their streets as they reach their house or hostels around 9pm. 2.other fellows: Many people travel far to this office.some from 2 hours and even 3 hours.They face a lot of problems in transportation. Mainly women face a problem. Many girls working there are from siruseri and tambaram .They reach around 9-10 pm. 3.Stress: There's a psychological study proved that human brain can be active to a maximum of 8hrs .Then how to sit in a chair for 10.30hrs .It violates the nature of job. 4.Health issues: They suffer from Lumbago (low back pain), head aches, eyes itching and some girl problems with too much sitting irritation. Fear of trainees: As they are trainees they fear to approach their superiors that they ll be thrown out or locked by their failure in tests .They also fear to raise in gang or to write the issue to suggestion box. To the notice: If proper action not taken I would like to bring it to the notice of our honourable Chief minister Amma, J.Jeyalalitha in her web site "www.cmcell.tn.gov.in " as we all know she takes immediate action in public grievances. So I kindly request the authorities to take proper action on this issue which gonna save women from danger and make them realize there exists a law . Thank you
