Haryana discoms employees threaten to go on strike

A section of employees of Haryana power distribution companies today threatened to go on two-day strike from June 29 to protest against "outsourcing" of jobs at sub-divisions.
A meeting of Haryana Joint Action Committee held here today decided that the employees would observe strike on June 29 and June 30 to press for the acceptance of their demands.
The committee warned if the demands of power employees were not met they would be forced to proceed on an indefinite strike.
It also announced that an agitation would be started on May 16 under which dharnas would be organised at sub-division level.

Around 25,000 employees of Haryana power distribution companies went on a mass casual leave yesterday in protest against the state government's decision of "outsourcing" some of the operation and maintenance jobs of power sub-divisions in the state.
Describing the move of the Haryana government as "anti-employee", the protesting workers had threatened to intensify their agitation against outsourcing if the state government did not rollback this decision.
