Mumbai- WorkIndia, the leading online job portal has launched the #UnsungWarrior campaign to appreciate and applaud the blue-collar workers in India on the occasion of Labor Day. The campaign emphasizes the need to recognize the hard work of blue-collar workers that makes our lives easier and more comfortable.
The campaign drives attention to the fact that although these workers are the backbone of our society, their contribution and grind are often hidden from our eyes and go unnoticed. The aim of #UnsungWarriors is to raise a question and urge everyone to recognize and appreciate their efforts and acknowledge their role in our lives. It is a narration that is thought-provoking and strikes an emotional chord as it compels us to pay attention to a section of society that is often unacknowledged. We must give these blue-collar workers their due diligence because we as a community are heavily dependent on them and our lives will come to a standstill without their support.
Over the years, the scenario for laborers in India has changed significantly. The labor movement has fought for and won many rights and protections for workers, such as the eight-hour workday, minimum wage laws, and workplace safety regulations. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the essential nature of many jobs that were previously undervalued and underpaid, such as healthcare workers, grocery store clerks, and delivery drivers. Despite this, they still face a number of challenges on a daily basis. While there is still much work to be done to improve the situation for workers, Labor Day serves as a reminder of the progress that has been made and the ongoing struggle for workers' rights and dignity.
Speaking about the campaign, WorkIndia COO & co-founder Nilesh Dungarwal said, “Blue-collar workers are the true unsung heroes of our lives who provide an important service to our society. Hence, it is our responsibility to ensure that their contribution doesn’t go unrecognized and unvalued. Through #UnsungWarriors, WorkIndia intends to spread awareness about their hard work and encourage people to appreciate the people who make it possible for us to live comfortable lives. Let’s show some support towards the people who deserve every praise for their undying dedication, and perseverance.”
Overall, #UnsungWarriors urges everyone to appreciate the efforts of the unsung warriors in our lives, who work tirelessly towards making the world a better place. This campaign was conceptualized in-house by the WorkIndia team. It is a digital campaign that will be featured across channels such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn.
