Many unscrupulous landlords rent out ramshackle, unsanitary and dangerous premises to groups of workers or to com- panies seeking to cut corners. Not only is this a health hazard to the workers but cause for mental stress and depression as well. Finally, as companies struggle to survive the dip in business, there are delays in get- ting money from clients and consequently in paying salaries, thus putting workers in a financial crisis. Once we face the truth, we can carve a way out of the frightening ‘suicide hole’ that we find ourselves in. Counselling is a great help, yes, but it should be comple- mented with making other factors work too – the need of the hour is a respect for every worker’s right to happiness. If that is in place, other issues will right themselves.
