SHILLONG: The MeECL Progressive Workers Union are disheartened to see the lack of respect for commitments made at the official meeting between the union and the management of MeECL held on December 7.
The management committed that as a ‘Christmas gift’ to the casual workers the new wage rate and all pending wage arrears will be released before Christmas.
As a result of failure on the part of the MeECL management to make good on its own decisions and issue relevant orders/notifications in this regard, the union is unfortunately forced to go on an agitational path as per the notice to strike given to MeECL.
The union further added that even though it is the season to cheer it is sad for them to have to agitate for their rightful dues.
