Outrage Over Oracle Corporations Massive Layoffs in India

New Delhi, April 3: Oracle Corporation has recently announced significant layoffs affecting a large number of employees. In response, Lok Sabha MP Raja Ram Singh from the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) expressed serious concerns through a letter.

In his correspondence to Labor and Employment Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, Raja Ram Singh voiced his deep discontent regarding Oracle’s decision to lay off approximately 12,000 employees in India. He stated that this action raises critical questions about corporate accountability and the government’s role in protecting employee rights and dignity.

He emphasized that terminating thousands of employees without adequate notice violates fundamental principles of job security and human dignity. After such abrupt dismissals, who will take responsibility for the livelihood of these families? The government’s inaction in such cases sends a message to large corporations that worker safety is not a priority in India, and that the government is not standing by its people.

Raja Ram Singh has demanded an immediate and detailed explanation from Oracle Corporation regarding the circumstances, scale, and process of these layoffs. He called for necessary measures to prevent arbitrary and large-scale layoffs and to ensure accountability for any violations of labor laws. Additionally, he urged the implementation of robust protective measures to safeguard employees from sudden and unjust job losses.

He concluded by asserting that the dignity of labor cannot be compromised. The government must take concrete steps to ensure that Indian workers are not exploited for trivial or immediate interests.

Sources indicate that the layoffs have impacted several departments, including engineering, cloud operations, sales, and cybersecurity. Reports suggest that around 12,000 employees in India may lose their jobs, although this figure has not been officially confirmed.
