CITU Accuses TTD Administration of Staff Harassment
Imagine a big temple with lots of visitors.
The people who work there are saying their jobs are getting harder.
There used to be many workers, but now there are fewer.
Because there are fewer workers, they have to do more work than before.
A union is saying the people in charge are making things even harder by giving them trouble and asking questions about their religion, making them feel stressed and worried.
Some workers have even gotten sick because of the pressure.
The union wants the leaders to stop treating them unfairly.
