Video of an AC mechanic went viral in Navi Mumbai. He was offered only Rs 300-400 to repair the dangerously placed AC on the 23rd floor. The mechanic refused to risk his life, which was supported by the people.
How is the price of any work decided? For government employees, the government forms pay commission from time to time and increases the salary. But, for those who work in the unorganized sector, their daily wages or wages are often negotiated. The truth is that in many places in India, very little money is given for such work. A video showing this truth has gone viral on social media.
AC repairing on 23rd floor
A video of an AC mechanic in Kharghar, Navi Mumbai is going viral. In the video, the mechanic tells that he was called to fix an AC installed on the 23rd floor. But the outdoor unit of the AC was installed at such a dangerous place, where working without any safety was like putting one’s life at risk. He was offered only Rs 300 to 400 for this work. The mechanic clearly refused to risk his life for such little money. This video has been shared with the Instagram handle named ‘KK Cool Comfort’. The mechanic says in the video,
“Look, let me show you. The customer called for AC service. This is Kharghar area and there is an outdoor unit installed on the 23rd floor. Now tell me, who will take this risk just for Rs 300 to 400? If someone falls from there, who will be responsible? You see this? People are not concerned about safety.”
People supported the mechanic
This video was shared around Labor Day and has now gone viral. Social media users are justifying the mechanic’s concern. Many people commented that no one would be ready to repair the AC installed at such a dangerous place. One user wrote, “He is absolutely right. The value of someone’s life cannot be measured in money.” Another user wrote that mechanics should also be given safety, respect and fair remuneration for dangerous work.
