Asserting that perception and image of the IT sector was a vital factor for its growth, Infosys Technologies CEO and MD Kris Gopalakrishnan said on Monday that trade unions were not desirable in the IT sector at this point of time.
“It may not affect the industry, but there would be change in the perception and image of the industry if trade unions are introduced,” Gopalakrishnan told a meet-the-press programme here.
Justifying his stand, Gopalakrishnan said the IT sector was a well-paid industry and employees were happy. “What is the reason for trade unions now?” he asked.
“We must seriously consider whether it is the right time to have trade unions in the IT sector. It might hurt the industry,” he added.
