Struggle for unpaid wages

Struggle for Unpaid Wages

– Madhuri, Office Help | Supported by Hunkaar Asanghatit Kamgar Sanghatana

“I kept calling and waiting. But there was silence from their side. I didn’t know what else to do.”

The Work That Went Unpaid

In early 2024, Madhuri began working as a domestic worker in an office, hoping it would bring regular income. She put in two full months of sincere work, but never received a single rupee. Despite calling multiple times, her employer stopped responding. phones were switched off. Messages were ignored. With no sign of payment, she had no choice but to stop going.

At home, Madhuri faced growing anxiety. Her husband’s earnings as a daily wage labourer were barely enough for basic needs, let alone school fees or medical bills. The unpaid wages pushed her family deeper into financial stress. With nowhere else to turn, she sought help from Hunkaar Asanghatit Kamgar Sanghatana.

Mounting Pressure at Home

Support that Brought Justice

Hunkaar Asanghatit Kamgar Sanghatana took immediate action. They contacted Madhuri’s former employer and firmly demanded her rightful wages. Thanks to their intervention, Madhuri received her full pending payment. She now works in a college mess, where she is paid on time and treated with fairness and respect.
