Contract Workers in Maharashtra Decide Long March

522 delegates, including large number of women, coming from deferent industries and centres in 11 districts of Maharashtra – Mumbai, Nashik, Aurangabad, Pune, Shindhu Durg, Nagpur, Satara, Thane, Sangali, Jalna and Raigad – attended a state level convention of contract workers under CITU banner on 26 October at Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) township in Raigad district. The convention was presided over by CITU vice president K.L. Bajaj.

Inaugurating the convention, CITU general secretary Tapan Sen, MP explained various stages of struggles of the working class since early ‘90s against neoliberal policies especially referring to two nationwide workers agitation and strike in 2012 and in 2013, organized unitedly by all the central trade unions; and on the positive role of trade unions in Maharashtra in these. Tapan Sen demanded of UPA’s central and Congress-NCP’s Maharashtra state governments to settle the just demands of contract workers and effectively enforce law. CITU state general secretary Dr. D.L. Karad moved the convention resolution which recorded the acute and worsening problems of contract workers, appointed even in jobs in permanent and perennial nature of work; in violation of laws denying benefits like PF, ESIS, bonus, gratuity and minimum wages etc; denying the application of the principle of same wage for same work to the contract workers. The enforcement machineries of the state and central governments are helping the employers instead of taking actions against them for violation of labour laws.

Horrible exploitation of contract workers in BSNL

BSNL, Contract labour, Maharashtra

A meeting of the Circle Executive Committe of the Maharashtra Labour and Contract Labour Union of BSNL was held today at CITU office. The union is both affiliated to CITU and BSNL Casual & Contract Workers Federation (BSNLCCWF). About 50 comrades were present representing the SSAs Maharashtra.

The reporting by the District Secretaries about the condition of the contract workers was shocking. Most of the orders issued by the BSNL Corporate office or the Instructions of the Govt.f India are not implemented. In some SSAs, only Rs. 2,500 to Rs. 3,000 is paid as minimum wage. In some other SSAs it is Rs. 3,000 to 4,000. These are much below the minimum wages fixed by the Central Govt. and orders issued by the BSNL Corporate office. EPF and ESI are not implemented. These are not checked by the concerned officers and action taken against the culprits.

However, due to the continuous struggle of the union, in SSAs like Latur and Nasik, the situation is somewhat better,though not completely.

The meeting has taken decisions to strengthen the union by bringing all the contract workers in to the organisation and also persue the issues with the management for settlement with the help of BSNLEU, CITU etc.
