TIWN

Agartala, Sep 13 (TIWN): At a time when the employees of Jute Mill are going through a long-term deprivation regarding pay scale, the new office of CITU backed Jute Mill Employees’ Association was inaugurated today.

The deprivation has left the Jute Mill staffs in dilemma ahead of Durga Puja. The employees are getting salary neither like state government employees nor as PSU staffs. While the employees are facing extreme hurdles, the inauguration of new office building has given rise to a number of questions.

CITU State President Pijush Nag, MLA Raj Kumar Chowdhury and CITU leader Samar Chakraborty remained present there in the inauguration programme.

Though Jute Mill is backed by a strong organization like CITU, the movement of Jute Mill Employees’ Association are not getting rate of knots. The employees get a small salary that is not at all sufficient. Besides, the residential Jute Mill quarters are in shamble.

Though the High Court passed order to increase the pay scale and allowance of Jute Mill employees, the state government breached the order and moved to Apex Court. The association leaders and Mill management jointly pushed the company gradually towards loss by involving in corruption, nepotism and failing to supply raw materials on due time. The first salary of Jute Mill employees was given to them as per the pay commission’s recommendation. The employees were supposed to be given pay scale and allowance akin to other government employees. But, the government did not put it in action.

Those who claim themselves to be the party for employees and labor section have filed case in Supreme Court to deprive the labors and employees from their legitimate rights. The anti-labor and anti-employees nature has been disclosed in front of the entire state. It is the final verdict of Supreme Court that will determine the fate of deprived and exploited Jute Mill employees.
