Most contract workers reported for duty: VSP

Special Correspondent

VISAKHAPATNAM: Most contract workers of Visakhapatnam Steel Plant reported for duty in both A and B shifts on Friday, despite the ongoing strike called by some trade unions, according to a VSP spokesman.

In a statement he said that the `Chalo Administration' programme by the striking unions, supported by CITU and AITUC, also evoked little response. "Those who attended the above programme consisted mostly of women and outsiders and not contract workers," he claimed.

After the VSP management took stern action like cancellation of passes of striking labourers, the number of contract workers resuming work was increasing day by day, the spokesman averred.

The VSP management, while appealing to the unions to end the strike, held out the assurance that it would positively take up with the Deputy Labour Commissioner and the Steel Ministry the issue of contract workers' wages, if the strike was called off.
