New Delhi, June 18 2011:
Workers of newspapers and news agencies will hold dharnas across the country on June 28 to protest against the "delay" in notification of wage boards for them.
The decision to hold day-long dharnas on June 28 was taken at an emergency meeting of Confederation of Newspaper and News Agency Employees' Organisations (CNNAEO) in New Delhi.
CNNAEO General Secretary, Yadav alleged that the government under "influence" of the INS (Indian Newspaper Society) is "sitting" on the wage boards recommendations, which was submitted in time to the government by its chairperson Justice (Retd) GR Majithia on December 31, 2010 .
The CNNAEO General Secretary accused the INS of spreading "falsehood" against the wage boards to deny wage hike to workers and to "black out" news of the workers.
The INS' behaviour was "unethical", he said.
