Medical workers in India are on strike over the rape and murder of a 31-year-old junior doctor. The protests, which are in their second week, are increasing in size and growing across the country.
Indian authorities are investigating the work environment at a global accounting firm after the death of a 26-year-old employee whose mother said she was overworked. Anna Sebastian Perayil died in July, four months after joining the Pune office of Ernst & Young, one of the “Big Four” accounting firms. In a letter to the company’s chairman in India that has been widely shared on social media in recent days, her mother, Anita Augustine, said her daughter had died from “backbreaking work.
” But she was often called up by her managers at night, assigned work on the weekends and would arrive home “utterly exhausted.” In the days leading up to her death, Augustine wrote, Perayil was complaining of tightness in her chest and doctors told the family she was not getting enough sleep. “This is a systemic issue that goes beyond individual managers or teams,” Augustine wrote.
