We have till now not signed the letter but they have issued our Resignation Acceptance letter.So Honorable members will understand that it is the case of Forcible Resignation.
2.Upon receiving of above, we prayed through e-mail to 03 Directors Mr. K.B Kodak, Mr. D.K. Kodak and Mr. B.K.Kodak to give us a chance to continue our 02 years of service more or compensate 1.5 years (18 months) C.T.C to maintain our family and to find a new job in the trade as now total Shipping Industry in Kolkata is aware of the forcible resignation of the employees by our management and created unhealthy situation.
3.H.R Mr E. Arumugam visited Kolkata office and met with us on 12.11.2014. But he denied our proposal and threatened to terminate from service if we are not ready to sign the letter.Finally, he asked to sign the letter and assured verbally to compensate 01 month salary as per terms of Appointment letter which was not acceptable to us and we did not sign it but getting threat all the time.
