Abstract: Mess workers at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Calcutta went on a strike on November 8 against the dismissal of 40 of their colleagues from the mess at the new hostel. All messes and eateries on campus were shut in the morning. In September, the mess contractor was dismissed from his post, along with other mess workers, and it was shut down. On November 4, a new mess contractor was hired, however, he allegedly received death threats from the existing mess workers, the students claimed. The workers were allegedly dismissed after students complained of unhygienic food being served to them, reported Edex Live. The students of IIM Calcutta also claimed that the workers were blocking food delivery inside the campus. “The health and safety of IIMC students are at stake if urgent steps are not taken to resolve this issue," the students said in a statement.
