What was supposed to be a massive demonstration over outstanding salaries, job security and unacceptable working conditions turned out to be a gathering inside the carpark at the Hindu Credit Union administrative building yesterday.

Disgruntled employees turned out to take part in the demonstration which was planned for 8 a.m but because they had no permission from the police, the employees stood in the carpark and voiced their concerns.

Mukesh Babooram, an employee of HCU Communications, said he was unable to get permission for the demonstration because of a misunderstanding with officers at the police station.
