(Mirror) – Bata Shoe Company of Airport Road, Ratmalana has sacked 44 of its employees without payment of any compensation, according to reports reaching ‘Mirror.’
All these workers, counting more than 20 years of service, had been barred from entering the factory by the security guards yesterday (Nov. 19).
They had been sacked despite the labour commissioner having mediated in a dispute involving them and summoned the parties for a meeting on December 03.
Two months ago, Bata Company closed its rubber section and suspended 22 of its employees.
