Imphal, May 30 2020:
All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) Manipur State Committee has urged the State Government to provide monetary assistance of Rs 10,000 to all construction workers and workers in unorganised sector in wake of the prolonged lockdown which is affecting many lives all over the country.
AITUC, in a press statement, lauded the Government's announcement of packages for some sector but lamented that construction workers and unorganised sector workers are often ignored or neglected.
Maintaining that these workers comprise the largest section of the population, AITUC urged the State Government to ensure registered workers get all sorts of benefits and at least Rs 10,000 to reduce their suffering during such a hard time.
It has been almost three months that these workers are suffering and the Government must consider medical and other needs besides supply of ration, the statement said.
AITUC also expressed hope that the State Government will work responsibly and ensure sustenance of all.
