Slavery prevails in Indian IT industry

(This was publishesd in "My Times My Voice" section of Times of India, Pune edition dated 31st October, 2007)

My wife was working in a private software training institute, in Pune. Recently, she got a job in a big MNC. When she resigned, after fulfilling all her commitments, her employers did not give her a relieving letter. They think that if she is relieved easily, other employees may also start looking for better opportunities. Isn't this a slave culture wherein you are bound to work in an organisation even when you want to leave?Labour laws should come down hard on such employment practices.
