The workers are also protesting as the ‘Wage Agreement’ between the owners and workers is yet to be signed, reports a Moulvibazar correspondent quoting Raju Guala, president, Bangladesh Cha Sramik Union, (Tea plantation workers union ) Sylhet valley.
The workers are currently paid Tk 85 per day, but they are demanding Tk 200 at present, the correspondent said.
“The owners are delaying the wage agreement, which is detrimental to the tea laborers,” Raju Guala said. “The wage agreement is usually signed every two years, but it is already three years and there is no sign of the new agreement,” Guala added.

Indian tea production has been in severe crisis since the mid nineties largely due to neo-liberal structural adjustments in the Indian economy. The size of the tea industry, which is second only to China and accounts for 25 percent of global tea production, has made this a huge blow to the country’s agrarian economy. The industry employs 1.26 million people on tea plantations and two million additional people indirectly. As such, the economic crisis has had an enormous impact on the lives of local residents. In Kerala where I have been conducting research, there have been eight cases of suicide and twelve deaths due to starvation on tea plantations since 2001. Along with utter poverty and famine, tea plantation workers have faced increasingly unhygienic work environments, shattered social life/community relations, and withdrawal of the welfare measures previously enjoyed. The crisis punctured the isolated environments of the plantations and precipitated neoliberal reforms that closed down production in many areas either partially or completely. While many families remained on the plantations, large numbers of workers who had lived there for more than five generations were now compelled to seek work outside. Some went with their families to either their ancestral villages or regional industrial townships such as Coimbatore and Tirupur in Tamil Nadu. These plantation workers have now joined the ranks of the massive Dalit workforce powering India’s unorganised and informal sectors. In joining that pool of workers, Tamil Dalit labourers are exposed to aspects of a caste-ridden society from which they had previously been shielded. The situation of Saraswathi, a female retired worker in her early sixties, illustrates the dilemma and struggles of the workers who moved out the plantations.

mad take, but I can't with how the "Vivzie hate club" has two brain cells:
how dare this character be absolutely vulgar, vile, sexist, toxic, and a meanie. This show is terrible, and is teaching children terrible things. I don't care if this is hell, this is wrong and I hate.
but also
how dare this character of gluttony not look like a swol fly. This is not biblically accurate character design. How dare the deadly sins not behave in a cliche way that I have come to expect after watching 50 marvel movies. This free show is terrible and I hate.
#helluva boss#hazbin hotel#waiting patiently for the [I was a part of Vivzies team and everything was terrible here is my pdf of carefully catered content] bomb#maybe this was so unexpected the disgruntled worker didn't have the mad tea edited up in a neat little framed package#seriously ken draws was an FULL ADULT and a manipulator dude was toxic as all hell#i hope no one else got tangled up with them especially minors cause that person was toxic#a 5 HOUR PHONE CHAT OVER A BASIC LEGAL DOCUMENT#FOR IPS#30 AND COULDNT INTERPRET A LEGAL DOCUMENT#A SHORT TERM RUNDAMENTARY LEGAL DOCUMENT FOR IPS#I did read the pdf ken provided and.... they come across as an absolute nightmare to work with

khemtid: *pursues a relationship with the #1 host knowing full well that there's a rule against it bc of the nature of a host's job and the jealousy that it may lead to and deciding it's worth it for wela*
also khemtid: *gets mad at wela for being good at his job*
also khemtid, when wela is being the #1 host:
#i HATE the trope of ppl getting mad at their flirty/previously promiscuous/sex worker love interests just bc they're jealous/insecure#like this is wela's JOB and khemtid knew that so he can't be mad plus he's essentially slutshaming wela for it!!#i get that he's jealous but he did not have to insult and treat wela like that#tea talks#deep night

Kerala has been widely lauded for having achieved human development goals comparable to those of economically advanced countries despite being economically poor. Its allegedly egalitarian economic model was highlighted as an alternative to neoliberal, free market policies. However, the ‘pro-poor’ policies largely passed over the plantations. Plantation workers have not benefited from the land reforms of the 1960s and 1970s, and thus the majority have remained poor, landless labourers working within the exploitative plantation system. Moreover, the women plantation workers face multiple levels of discrimination because they are, at the same time, Tamil, Dalit, and female. Remarkably, though, the Pembillai Orumai challenged the negative caste prejudice and ethnic stereotyping of the plantation Tamils. The ethnic stereotyping of lower class Dalit Tamils is epitomised by the slur ‘pandi’, which symbolises the inferior in the oppositions of modern/non-modern, and resourceful/unresourceful. The portrayal of the Tamil plantation women as unresourceful was evident in the racist colonial conception of Tamil plantation workers as hard working but unintelligent. Echoes of this imagery were everywhere during the Pembillai Orumai strike. Many commentators, including trade union leaders, framed the strike as an anarchist act that could not be considered a proper form of resistance. They also repeatedly claimed that ‘invisible forces’ instigated the strike, an accusation the leaders of Pembillai Orumai strongly denied. These accusations were meant to rob the underclass—lower caste—Tamil speaking women of their due credit by suggesting they were incapable of organising themselves. Yet it was this very community who designed and implemented a model of resistance that interrogated the contradictions of the widely celebrated Kerala development model and its egalitarian claims. And as all actions, this one had its own momentum. It also became an act of rebellion that challenged the social relations responsible for their alienated condition, including the ethnic stereotypes that characterised them as inferior. It was an attempt to reclaim human personality in a Dalit liberation tradition, not only for them but also for their men and their dead indentured ancestors.

It just occured to me that I'll be getting my very own permanent desk when I switch jobs in april so.
I just put a bunch of stuff in there but honestly half of it I probs shouldn't do simply because I am young and need to appear way professional since this is a supervisor position. so any fandom stuff is def out (so no figurines :/)
#this is for fun#I probs won't get anything for at least 2 months while I get used to my co-workers#since this is a shared office#and I'd like to see the place & get the vibes first before I actually decide what I do with my desk#I'll probs get some tea stuff if we have a kettle somewhere#I hope we have a kettle. I'll die if we don't T_T#I might move some of my novels I had to read for my BA onto the desk. maybe I have a shelf?#and some of the books I got for my education minor#and I need a proper planner because otherwise the adhd will fuck me over real fast#its only been working so far because my current workplace is as chaotic as me and nobody really; truly depends on me being organised#anyway and anyhow#damie talks
