The company has made significant progress on account of the efforts of its employees but they are exploiting us.”

In the leaflet it was printed that Godrej is a 115 year old renowned organization functioning in India. The company is operating in 15 countries and 23 states in India.

6. The rates at Vikhroli Godrej properties is valued at Rs 13000 sq.ft. However, employees are paid a monthly minimum wages of Rs. 8700 only. They cannot afford to purchase a house in Karjat area

7. The company harasses workers by issuing them legal notices over trivial issues and suspends them.

8. Five workers fighting for their legal rights were dismissed by the company. Twenty eight workers are facing in-house inquiry during 2009 to 2013 period and 205 workers were suspended for 4 days etc.

9. Workers are not paid bonus.

10. Workers are paid minimum wages, but the fees charged by the Godrej school is Rs. 1350.

Employees are afraid to take any legal action against the company as their employment might be terminated by the organization.
