CUDDALORE:
General Secretary of the All India Trade Union Congress Gurudas Dasgupta, MP, has urged the Neyveli Lignite Corporation to regularise the services of contract workmen in a phased manner.
Speaking at a public meeting at Neyveli near here on Sunday, the MP announced a series of agitational programmes during July and August to achieve the goal, which included token strike for a couple of days before going on an indefinite strike. The MP said that he was ready to participate in the strike and court arrest. The NLC could net a profit of over Rs 1,200 crore in the last fiscal because of the dedicated services of the employees.
Delaying tactics
Therefore, to render social justice the management should regularise the services of the contract workmen without any hassles. The MP charged the NLC management with adopting delaying tactics in absorbing a section of contract workmen into the INDCOSERVE as a prelude to regularisation. Had the management taken any steps to vacate the stay in the court in this regard it would have found solution to the issue. Whenever there was a pay revision for regular employees the contract workmen should also be given reasonable wages. The MP pointed out that even though the NLC management had agreed to provide medical care to the contract workmen on par with regular employees it was yet to be fulfilled.
He called for the Centre's intervention to run the NLC-promoted Rajasthan power plant efficiently and to expedite the work on the Tuticorin thermal plant to ease power situation. Meanwhile, a section of workmen broke open the lock of the AITUC office on the NLC premises that was kept closed by a court order following a dispute between two factions of the trade union over the right to the property. The NLC sources said that since court direction was violated in this regard it would take up the issue at the appropriate forum.
