JAMMU, Oct 15: Tri-ennial conference of Northern Zone Insurance Employees’ Association (NZIEA), Srinagar Division was held under the leadership of AM Tantray- president and Pawan Gupta, Divisional Secretary of NZIEA, here today.
AK Bhatnagar, president NZIEA, Naveen Chand, general secretary NZIEA (NZ) and Devi Dass, organising secretary NZIEA were the special invitees on the occasion. In the inaugural session, Sat Pal, Senior Divisional Manager LIC of India Srinagar Division was guest of honour and Raj Kumar Verma, Marketing Manager LIC Srinagar Division was the special guest on the occasion. The conference held discussion on the issues relating to National, International and Industry (LIC) level.
The conference after thread bare discussion decided that Insurance employees throughout Jammu and Kashmir will have extensive campaign and mobilisation against Government’s move to list Life Insurance Corporation of India in stock market.
The conference also decided to struggle for the realisation of wage revision in LIC and GIC which is due since 01-08-2017. Despite marvelous contribution by the employees of LIC and GIC in the sparkling performance of LIC, employees are being deprived of due wage revision. Employees of LIC of India as a citizen of the country are also suffering from anti- people and pro-capitalist policies of the Modi Government. To fight back these policies, the conference decided to stand in the fore front with the trade unions based in Jammu and Kashmir. The conference was of the firm opinion that these steps by Modi Government are being undertaken to help big corporate houses-Indian and foreign.
The speakers said that the abrogation of Article 370 and clause 35-A in Jammu and Kashmir as also making the State as two Union Territories is an attack on sovereignty of the nation and constitution. This step of the Government is a step to snatch the democratic rights of the J&K people.
The conference also decided to make strike action on 08-01-2020 decided by Central Trade Union and Independent Federations against anti-people policies of Modi Government, attack on democratic right of work as constitution, a grand success.
The conference unanimously passed the resolutions for 33% reservation of women in Parliament and State Assemblies, against increasing unemployment, against atrocities on SC/ST, against exploitation and increasing violence against women, against privatisation, against destruction of public sector and against amendment of Labour laws in favour of Corporate.
