TUs plan stir to highlight PSU staff demands

By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI, APRIL 20. Three Central trade unions are planning to hold protest demonstrations on April 25 against the delay in settling wage-related demands of public sector employees. They accused the Government of going slow in deciding the periodicity of wage settlement for public sector workers who ``were becoming restive over the delay''.

In a statement on Wednesday, the three unions said port and dock workers, in particular, had reasons to feel aggrieved as they had been assured that a decision would be taken in March but nothing had been heard so far from the Government. No indication was given by the Prime Minister while inaugurating the Indian Labour Conference on April 14.

The trade unions which have planned to protest are the All-India Trade Union Congress, the Centre for Indian Trade Unions and the Hind Mazdoor Sabha.
