IT Employees Are Finally Unionising. But There's A Problem.

Gone are the days when unions were something that only caught the fancy of the blue collar workforce. 

After a slew of unending layoffs, white collar employees in the IT sector are finally waking up to the bells of unionisation. 

But it’s not without a myriad of unobvious roadblocks. 

The path to collective bargaining wasn’t easy. But no one knew it would be this hard. 

In this episode, I speak to Sreyan Chatterjee (Lawyer/Researcher; Ex-Reuters), Harpreet Singh Saluja (Founding Member, Nascent Information Technology Employees Senate) and Suman Dasmahapatra (National Convenor, All India IT & ITeS Union) to understand more about the treacherous journey towards white collar unionisation.
