The struggle of workers of Flex Industries Ltd at Noida against the illegal termination of 54 workers.
The assault on the workers’ rights was the move to institute a three-shift system while using the same number of workers. The workers of Flex are being made to bear the brunt of the managers’ drive to step up profits and production. The workers have been organised under the banner of Flex Laminators Employees Union since 1993
Flex Industries Ltd is part of the Flex group of companies that manufactures flexible packaging materials – poly-coated paper, printed and laminated paper and plastic films. It supplies and packages the products of many companies including multinationals like – Horlicks, Uncle Chips, Nestle, Lipton and Brooke Bond tea, the pouches for well-known gutka and pan masala brands. So much so that the company claims to be ‘part of your daily life’! In fact, it is the largest flexible packaging company in the country.
