JAKFED employees continue strike on 3rd consecutive day

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, May 2: JAKFED employees of both the Divisions of the State continued their strike for the third consecutive day strongly protesting against the decision of Board of Management taken on April 28, 2012 for not implementing the 6th Pay Commission and conceding their other genuine demands.
The protesting employees alleged that the meeting that was not concluded on April 28, 2012 was rescheduled for April 30th, but instead of any assurance to employees, the Board meeting was again deferred, which was purely discriminatory and arbitrary, as 6th Pay commission has already been implemented in all the Government Departments or cooperative institutions.
Meanwhile, vice-president, INTUC assured the JAKFED employees that INTUC would remain supportive to JAKFED employees till the demands of JAKFED employees are not addressed.
