CorroHealth

The Kerala government has given a US-based medical coding firm, CorroHealth, an ultimatum to present alternative proposals to retain its workforce in the state or face prosecution for alleged labor law violations. A minister-level meeting failed to resolve the issue, with no breakthrough reported.

The Kerala High Court has directed CorroHealth, its employees, and the State government to attempt conciliation to resolve disputes under the Industrial Relations Code. The court emphasized the need for dispute resolution as outlined in the code.

US firm CorroHealth closure has left Kochi employees locked out of their office. Labour department officials are recording employee attendance until a conciliatory meeting with senior company officials, expected on Friday, involving the Labour Minister.

CPI(M) is advocating for laid-off employees at CorroHealth in Kochi and Kozhikode. The organization seeks justice for the affected staff.

Lay-offs at CorroHealth in Kozhikode may be linked to flagging of labor rule violations. Affected staff are awaiting talks between government officials and management in Kochi on July 10.

CorroHealth’s terminated employees are locked out of the office despite assurances. A meeting between Labour Minister Bindhu Krishna and the firm’s top executives has been scheduled for July 10.

CorroHealth employees in Kerala were denied entry to the Kochi office on Monday as security personnel followed company instructions to restrict access. The company has granted employees access to the office until July 10, with minister-level discussions ongoing.

CorroHealth is conducting mass layoffs, prompting CPI(M) to demand state intervention. The political party is calling for government action in response to the corporate action.

Kerala Labour Minister is set to hold talks on July 10 regarding CorroHealth lay-offs. The government states it is exploring measures to protect affected workers and has initiated actions since the issue emerged.
