No work, no cash, daily wagers feel the pinch

[Informalisation and Labour Rights - Related News]

The going has been tough for thousands of daily wage workers in the city. They are either not getting work nor being paid for their work due to the shortage of currency. Among those struggling are electricians, plumbers, painters, construction workers, helpers and every other blue-collar job holder that one can imagine. Worse off are people who do not have a bank account or government ID proof to exchange notes and are miles away from their native village where families are waiting for cash.
