While so, the petitioner, as a General Secretary of Unipress India Thozhilalar Sangam, raised a dispute regarding the wage revision and the same was pending before the Labour Court, Chennai, in ID.No.9/2016. While so, the petitioner, as a member of the Canteen Committee, found that the food served to the employees on 29.06.2015, was inedible and so asked for alternate food.
