While one of the workers allegedly attempted suicide on Tuesday because of the harassment, the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), which has been fighting for the registration and recognition of Samsung India Workers Union (SIWU) at the electronic giant's TN plant, has said that its members will launch a 'canteen boycott' protest at the plant on Thursday.

Members of the CITU said the worker who allegedly attempted suicide was internally transferred to a different department recently. He is currently stable, they said.
