Laid Off Workers Beat To Death Corporate CEO; Called A Warning To Management

[JimBoy]

The CEO of an Indian car parts manufacturing company was beaten to death by a mob of laid off workers. After laying off 100s of workers and trying to negotiate deals, a mob beat to death Lalit Kishore Choudhary in a factory meeting spot.

The Prime Minister of Labor and Employment in India released a statement saying that the events serve as a warning to management to treat their employees better. He mentioned that workers should be given compassion and not be pushed so hard that it will lead to events like the melee beatdown.

Needless to say, Indian Corporate heads are outraged at the Prime Minister's comments. They are upset that someone in government seems to be condoning murder over bad treatment at work and justifying it.

All i have to say is "wow".

Heh, interesting.

My opinion? Management should treat employees with the same respect and consideration they'd treat any other human on this planet, and shouldn't abuse power, even if they got it. Angry workers should have petitioned if they thought it was an unfair move, and not stoop to something ridiculous and vile like beating someone to death...shouldn't even get to the point of name-calling, even. Prime Minister of Labor and Employment there...heh...there really should be some change in THAT administration, after a statement like that.

Been in that situation, too. Worked for CompUSA in Honolulu, last year. I swear, the administration of that company were more tyranical than Nero. Super low wages for the work of such caliber, cutting payment of the employers without prior notice and making promises for wage increase that they don't follow through on...finally deciding to run with their money and shut the company down 'cause they were supposedly "not making enough" when that was clearly not the case, and not even telling their own store managers about their decision until just a few months prior, after such enthusiasm of a major revival for the company...

We were pissed. Really pissed.

But when we were laid off, we didn't beat anyone up.

Life goes on. Wouldn't be fair taking the life of someone else because of our problems. ESPECIALLY if it's to "set an example."

Thank you ever so much. Now, I have to clean Dr. Pepper from my monitor from laughing at that one.

Sounds like justice to me

I'll probably get shipped off to Gitmo for saying this, but, I agree!

Seriously, it's appalling the way so many American workers have been getting bent over by corporations lately. To say nothing of getting bent over by Wall Street. (Outsourcing on the scale we now witness could only have happened in a country where most workers have virtually no bargaining power).

"Support the right to life, or we'll kill you!"

If you read When Corporations Rule the World by David C. Korten, and you were young like me you would say ABOUT DAMN TIME.

Though I don't think Mr. Korten would condone these actions, I for one haven't gotten to the part of the book yet (if there is a part) where he gives us a peaceful solution to global corporatism.

It would appear from where I'm sitting right now that this might be one of those times when we will have to use violence to get the ones in power to understand that what they are doing is wrong.

So I disagree to a point with Dalekfire when he posts that there is never a good time for violence. When the french had to use violence because they were starving to death, THAT was a good time. When Martin Luther King wanted equality, that was not a good time, nor was it a good time when Ghandhi wanted Indian freedom, BUT from where I'm sitting right now, and when corporations basically own our way of making a living for ourselves, and there appears to be no way to just pacifistically boycott their products because they are products we need like food and such things, then I say it is a good time for stuff like this to happen. Everyone who has profited at the expense of the poor just to simply have more money and anyone who has made decisions which probably could destroy humanity's future should be given death as this CEO was.

And in particular I quote Dalekfire, "Life goes on. Wouldn't be fair taking the life of someone else because of our problems." Your problems? Dude seriously wake up. They created that problem for you by firing your ass. If you had been able to stay employed there and had been treated as you should have been, you would not have had the problem of unemployment.

I really think the planet is doomed unless corporations, the way they are ran today, go the way of the dinosaur. And even though the end of the ecological planet may not happen in our lifetime, it may not even come from global warming either. In fact, a recent show I watched suggested that scientists think there is the chance that melting the polar caps could put enough fresh water into the ocean currents so as to cause an ice age.

All of this said, I believe in the constitution, in democracy, and equality. So even if we had to somehow remove the current political people as well, we'd do well to keep the system we got and put new people into it.

I'm sounding extreme, but I'm ready to form a movement after what I've been reading in that book. It is appaling.

i like that nobody here even knows the full story of what went on and all there is is just discreetly villifying words and things about people standing up for something and people gathering opinions from books and everybody is just talking out of the ass on what should and shouldn't have happened

i make my comments in cruel jest but it's worrisome when people get seriously involved in something they don't know the entire thing about it, nobody has once asked "what the fuck is the whole story"

when you want to write an essay do your research

but there's something being written on a memo
in the form of a bad country demo

she's fucking brainwashed you
