"There are about 3865 contract workers in various departments of Coimbatore Corporation from basic Sanitary works to workers involved in abolishing the spread of Malaria and Dengue fevers. These contract employees are with the Coimbatore Corporation for more than 10 years. Meanwhile these workers should be given salaries like permanent employees."

"Meanwhile members of Annal Ambedkar Sanitary Workers Union, Jeeva Sanitation Department Workers Union, Coimbatore Labour Union, AITUC, Janashakti Labour Union jointly met the Coimbatore Labourers Deputy Commissioner and filed a case regarding this.

Meanwhile, Coimbatore Corporation has made an announcement stating that there are 530 vacant positions and workers will be appointed based on reservations.

Post this a case was filed at the Chennai High Court regarding the Corporation Authorities hiring fresh workers when there are contract employees with high experience. The case was investigated and the Chennai High Court ordered the Coimbatore Corporation to conduct the interview but not to grant the vacant positions.
