Imphal, August 18 2015:
Pointing out that daily wage earners and workers are hit hard by the ongoing ILPS demand agitation, Workers' Union Manipur (WUM) has appealed to all concerned to exempt workers and staff of WUM, who are engaged in cleaning garbage and wastes from markets and JNIMS, from the purview of the agitation.
In a statement, WUM said that workers/daily wage earners are hit hard by the sporadic and unannounced bandhs.
Although the JCILPS spelt out clear that essential services will be exempted from the purview of any agitation it spearheaded, bandh enforcers caused disturbances to essential service providers.
The ILPS movement deserves support from all quarters.
At the same time, the agitation should not be without clear direction, it added.
