This query is : Resolved
Sir, I am working in a private company from last 7 years. Our law says that the working time should be 8 hours a day. But we have to work for 12 hours without any incentives. We are not getting any national and state holiday. Weather it is 26th January or 15 August. And in return we get nothing. I want to know, where and how to complain ? In our state everybody knows that what's happening in the industries. Even our industrial minister, labour commissioner and even chief minister. How we get justice ?

Send legal notice through an advocate to your company.

I agree with expert Mr. Tiwari, you are required to initiate your claim through a local lawyer practicing in labour & service matters, if your story is true since no organisation/company/firm in India can call its employees on National Holidays.
If there is some union existing involve them.

More than the law, the solution lies in collective action.

'A bird in hand is better than 2 in bush.'
An impulsive action by you (employees) that are ill informed, non united, can fetch penultimate action from attorney's of employer in Line Management/HR/Legal cells...................and employer.
Don't jump to agitate.
Avoid legal notice for the time being.
