Tamil Nadu Sanitation Workers Protest for Job Security and Wage Revisions
Sanitation workers in Tamil Nadu have renewed protests and halted others while pressing for job regularisation, wage revisions, and improved working conditions. In Chennai, workers oppose outsourcing and contract-based employment, demanding permanent jobs and wage updates since 2017. In Coimbatore, contract workers paused an indefinite protest after officials assured wage increases and regularisation by January 2027. Both groups seek better pay, job security, and welfare benefits amid ongoing negotiations with government authorities.
