India’s information technology (IT) capital has been in the newspapers for the wrong reasons. Shortages of drinking water dominated the headlines, and there are signs of labour unrest in the IT/IT-enabled services (ITeS) sector. A new workers’ union called Karnataka State IT/ITeS Employees Union (KITU) has demanded that the state government do away with the longstanding exemption, given to IT/ITeS establishments, from the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946. Karnataka has nearly 2 million workers engaged in the IT/ITeS sector, and it seems that about 10,000 are members of KITU.
