Imphal, August 22 2023:
Safai Karmachari Sangh Manipur has declared that sweepers under Imphal Municipal Corporation will launch cease work strike from September 6 to protest non-release of wages for six months, non-inclusion of Employees' Provident Fund and Employees State Insurance Corporation and failure to fill up vacant regular post.
In a release, SKSM president Th Sanatombi Devi expressed strong resentment over government's indifferent attitude in-spite towards the manual workers who have been struggling amid the unrest situation in the state.
The decision to launch cease work strike is out of compulsion to draw the attention of authorities concerned, she reasoned, adding they will ceasefire as permissible under the Industrial Dispute Act 1947 until their demands are honoured.
The president also said that they will approach the Industrial Tribunal if no amicable solution is brought and urged all sections of the workers to extend support for ensuring rights of the workers.
