I wonder if any of that $12 million will go to paying out the workers who were left stranded by the company? If the linked story (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-36044903) is anything to go by, the employees got severely screwed when the plant shut down.
That article doesn't tell me that the employees would have been defrauded or somehow deceived by their employer. Rather than selling out too soon, it seems that the Hindustan company tried to stay in its old ways for far too long.
>the employees got severely screwed when the plant shut down.
Isn't that the case everywhere? Why do these workers in particular deserve 'pay outs'?
These workers seemed to have got screwed by the globalisation like people from soviet union who had no idea how to make sense of the new world where govt is not resposible to provide you with a job anymore.
> Nirmal Kumar Ram, who worked at the factory's engine plant, says he has not yet left his job because Hindustan Motors has still not told workers that they were fired.
Instead of communicating with the employees they just kind of forgot about them.
And this guy:
> "Even before production stopped, I didn't get my salary for six months."
The company wasn't paying the employees, of course it's impossible to know what was said but you wouldn't think that he'd be waiting around for six months unpaid if they weren't telling him it was coming.
