According to workers, several agencies violate labour laws by not paying them minimum monthly salaries and keeping them off their official employee record. The situation has led to several delivery men depending on tips from consumers for their survival. The troubled workers have urged CM M K Stalin to take steps to enforce the minimum wage of ₹10,671 as per a government order and ensure access to all benefits mandated by law.
The Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HP) deliver LPG cylinders to both domestic and commercial consumers through delivery men employed by authorised gas agencies. There may be over 1,500 authorised agencies across the state, sources said.
Speaking to TNIE, All Liquified Petroleum Gas Cylinder Delivery Men Trade Union (ALL LPG CDMTU) state deputy president R Rajendran said that some agencies deposit salaries from ₹3,000 to ₹8,000 to employees' accounts, but force them to return it in cash later. The agencies allegedly take their cut even out of the tip.
