HUNDREDS of former workers from the Community-Based Environmental Protection and Enhancement Programme (Cepep) gathered on Frederick Street, opposite Woodford Square, and staged a peaceful demonstration over recent mass firings at the company.

The demonstration was held while Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was addressing a joint sitting of Parliament on July 4.

The former workers expressed their frustration, disappointment and anger after an estimated 360 contractors and more than 10,500 workers were issued termination letters on June 27.
