Thane Hospital Workers Allegedly Forced into Manual Scavenging

Thane Hospital Workers Allegedly Forced into Manual Scavenging

Imagine workers at a hospital in Thane, India, are being forced to clean up human waste with their bare hands, which is against the law.

A labor union says this is happening, and the workers aren't getting paid on time or provided with things like gloves or masks to protect them.

The company that hired these workers is from Pune, and they are accused of not following the rules about wages and safety.

The union wants the government to step in and make sure the workers are treated fairly and safely.
