NEFIS Supports The Movement And Agitation Call By CAF & PD Labourers Welfare Association!
Stands In Solidarity With The Workers’ Movement Against FCI!
Immediately Cancel The Contract, Take Action Against The Contractor: NEFIS!
North East Forum for International Solidarity (NEFIS) strongly supports the movement and the agitation call of CAF and PD Labourers’ Welfare Association. The workers’ union has been compelled to take such a move due to the inaction of the state government and FCI authorities regarding the grievances of the workers in Imphal.
The workers who were exploited by the contractor NR Mathai Enterprises were earlier arrested when they raised their grievances.
It should be noted that more than 30 FCI workers who had been agitating against the exploitative practices in FCI by the private contractor had been arrested in early December. They have since been release but have been left without a job and hence their families have been left without any financial source.
NEFIS stands in solidarity with the FCI workers and their families. It demands that all the workers fired from their jobs should be reinstated. It also demands that action should be taken against the exploitative contractor and his contract should be cancelled.
NEFIS has pledged to support the workers’ struggle in the coming days.
