Pamphlets distributed in SCCL mines areas

 

BHADRADRI-KOTHAGUDEM | June 11, 2017:

Even as the threat of an indefinite strike is looming large over the Singareni Collieries, the management in a vigorous campaign is circulating pamphlets to the workers in an effort to dissuade them from the strike called by major national trade unions. The officials concerned held a series of meetings in all the coal mines in Manuguru area, known for its track record in meeting the stipulated production targets. Specially prepared pamphlets highlighted the likely “adverse impact” of the strike on the ambitious production endeavours of the company. The authorities have mooted a plan to screen short films through local cable TV network to motivate the workmen to ensure uninterrupted production of coal, SCCL sources said.

 

Meanwhile, the major trade unions including INTUC, AITUC and CITU have stepped up mass contact programmes in the Kothagudem region in the run up to the indefinite strike.
