With Maharashtrian labour force-that also with a promise of not making union- will surely increase the productivity of the company. Will they not exploit the labour force, if such an undertaking is given? Do not be so meek and don't surrender to the industrialists. It is only a stop gap phenomina. With the increase of Education and latest news, the situation will improve. I have seen in the bordering areas of Kerala, when 10 beedi workers are in an area, 9 of them make beedies and one person only read papers loudly. Every news from tenders to last line. Other 9 persons will give a percentage of their beedies to the paper reader at the end of the day. Next day will be another persons turn. That way every one gets updated.
