"In August and September I was getting a gross salary of $440, 80 and a net $335, 00 and this month (October) they have reduced my gross salary to $350 with my net salary standing at $264."
The workers said Treger products has numerous transfers of employees from one subsidiary to the other where they had made to maintain their grades and pay levels, but last month (September) management called the employees where they advised that the company wanted to reduce their salaries and down grade them.
"They told us that we will be made to sign for the downgraded levels saying if we refuse we will be fired. But I refused to sign and look at what they have done. Having not signed still they slashed my salary. Is this the reward for my long service at the company?" fumed the employee.
