TURA, April 23: The Non Gazetted Employees’ Association (NGEA) of the GHADC on Friday said that it would continue to abstain from work unless a written assurance for clearance of the pending salaries is given by Chief Minister Conrad Sangma and newly elected Council CEM, Benedic R Marak.
The association, whose members earlier met Benedic, said that it was disappointed after meeting with the CEM.
Stating that it has already begun to lose trust in the new executive committee (EC), the NGEA questioned whether it will commit towards addressing the grievances of the employees in clearing the pending salaries.
Meanwhile, the Association has rubbished the reports that stated that over 70 per cent of the employees were eager to return to work and that only a few members of the NGEA were against it.
“Various media houses have reported that 70 per cent of the employees of the GHADC are ready to resume their duties. We wish to inform the public that it is not only the NGEA leaders and the executive members who are not willing to rejoin duties but the entire employees of GHADC,” Joint Secretary of the Association, Flaming B Marak, said.
