ITANAGAR, Apr 26: The state unit of Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) on Wednesday joined the nationwide sit-in protest demanding social security of workers, abolishing contractual work system, fixation of living wages, and national labour policy, at IG Park here in the state capital.
Speaking to reporters, BMS General Secretary Tadung Yangfo said that the dharna was organized following the meeting resolution adopted during the 20th Triennial All India conference of the BMS held in the first week of this month at Patna, Bihar.
He said though the economic condition of the country is increasing it is not the same for the working community. Hence, the BMS is demanding the central government bring out a solution to the matter so that the living wages of the workers are increased instead of minimum wages.
Likewise, the government should also abolish the contractual work appointment as it has no social or work security. Also, the need for a national labor policy is much needed as it will secure the future of the labourers and its family. The entire demands are for all the workers engaged in the private and organized sectors.
“The working community does more work without any social security than the officers engaged in regular jobs. Therefore, the worker's community should be provided every facility which is being given to other government officials,” he said, adding that every district unit of BMS in the entire country will be submitting the demand letter to the PMO.
Yangfo also informed that the future course of action regarding the demands will be decided following a meeting with the national unit of BMS.
