Why Agitations Against Privatisation

 Information Technology in India is an industry consisting of two major components: IT services and business process outsourcing (BPO). As of 2020, India's IT workforce accounts for 4.36 million employees. Number of employees 750,000 (2020 In Tata group. Number of employees 195,618 (2020) In Reliance Industry. In brief number of employees in private sector is far more than that in public sector including banks. 


But employees in public sector are more unhappy,  they frequently go on strike for wage hike and  they more often than not exhubit anger against government . 


Why employees working in private sector  are happy,  peaceful and not resorting to strike? 


It is a fact that these days youth are more interested in getting job in private companies,  multi national  companies,  foreign banks, private banks ,companies in IT sector and less interested in public sector enterprises. 


Majority of good students get appointment  letter in their campus where they are in study and not even completed the course.


 It was in olden days that person after getting a  job in government sector used to be  in the same job till retirement.  These days,  on the contrary people are getting offer after offer in private sector with better and better packages and hence frequencies of switching to other employeer is very common phenomenon. 


Despite above facts some people and some politicians are against disinvestment  and so called privatisation. They know very well that government is not planning to give all public banks to private sector.  They all know that government is planning to privatise only few critically sick banks. 


Finance Minister has categorically  told in press conference yesterday that none of employees and retirees will be affected in any way after privatisation. 


Why then some left minded trade unions  are provoking agitations and strike? 


Is there any political motive? 


Please think over it deeply and then form an idea.
