Karnataka State IT/ITeS Employees Union (KITU) strongly condemns this illegal action by the management of Byju’s. According to the Industrial Disputes Act, Companies that employs more than 100 employees need to obtain approval from the Government in order to execute layoffs/retrenchments. Retrenchments are permitted only for specific reasons and under certain regulations defined in the Industrial Disputes Act.
