- increased pressure on employees
Nagpur. ST Mahamandal has started running sticks on the employees sitting on strike for the last 50 days. On Thursday, the management took a big action. While 15 employees returned to the job unconditionally, on the other hand 12 employees were suspended and sent home. In this way, the number of employees who have returned to the job has now increased to 59. With this, the number of suspended employees has increased to 33. The employees are in tension due to this action of the corporation.
Let us tell you that ‘Navbharat’ had told through officials in Tuesday’s issue that the increasing cases of Omicron virus can act as ‘villain’ for the employees because a high increase in cases can lead to lockdown, which will force the administration to strike. Can eliminate it because there is a risk of increasing the infection. Apart from this, many employees are also having to deal with family financial problems. For this reason, he has made up his mind to go back to the job from the strike. In this matter, many employees discussed with ‘Navbharat’ but they hid their identity due to fear of employees federation. During this, there were also indications of the employees surrendering and joining the job, which they carried out on Thursday.
Number of buses exceeds 20
For the first time this month, the number of ST buses crossed 20. On Thursday, 25 buses were run by ST Mahamandal. These include Ganeshpeth-11, Imamwada-2, Ghat Road-1, Umred-4, Savner-2, Vardhmannagar-3, Ramtek-1, Katol-1. These buses made 68 ferries throughout the day. Traveled 4430.2 kms. About 2,689 people traveled in these. While the number of buses increased, while the passengers were happy, ST Mahamandal has also started breathing a sigh of relief as the system is slowly returning on track.
Union leaders in tension
Many workers union leaders have come under tension due to the return of the employees to the job. They are not stopping the employees openly but are teaching the lesson of unity to the employees by sending emotional messages. But the fear of lockdown due to the spread of Omicron virus coupled with financial constraints and family pressure has forced him to decide to go to the job. Mahamandal believes that more employees will join in the coming days. Many have contacted him by SMS.
must return to work
On Thursday, 15 employees returned to their jobs. At the same time, 12 personnel were suspended by the Mahamandal. Earlier also many employees were explained by giving show cause notices but they did not agree. For this reason, the suspension action has been implemented. If still there is no improvement, then the dismissal action will be taken as before. We do not want to take action, that is why we are urging everyone to return to work.
