Manik said that Bisleri had dismissed some workers, and transferred some others to far-off places after they established a trade union following the labour act.

He accused the management of taking autocratic decisions in violation of the labour act. Unless the Bisleri restores the employment of dismissed workers, Manik said that they would intensify their protests.
