IT employees are expected to work for "14" hours 12+2hours OT ... IT companies have approached Karnataka gvt.

First, Infosys has split the IT employees between the states via Karnataka Government's legislation for local reservation for Pro-Kannadigas. Just FYI Infosys founder have agreed for local reservation bill. Then this draconian law of get 14 hrs/day implemented via the same government without national level fight. Well planned! Come on guys ! Employees across the country should be unitedly fight for getting basic rights of the employees 8 Hr/day including lunch/tea break time and let's though this draconian law of asking for 12-14 hrs/day at work to Crematorium!

Let's ask Modi ji to make this a law. Everyone should work 84 hours per week. All of us have wasted too much time in the last 10 years already.
