New Delhi: Indian Federation of Working Journalists (IFWJ) and Delhi Union of Working Journalists (IFWJ) have demanded the Union Labour Ministry and Government of NCT of Delhi to immediately intervene in the large scale termination of the employees in the premiere news agency, PTI without following the due process of law. This bloodshed spree of the management of the PTI has taken the jobs of 310 employees in one day across the country.
Condemning the unprecedented victimisation of the employees by the PTI management the Vice-President Hemant Tiwari, Secretary General of the IFWJ Parmanand Pandey and the President of the DUWJ Alkshendra Singh Negi have said if the management failed to take back the employees a large scale movement will be launched throughout the country against the highhandedness of the Management. They have also asked the Government of India and the Government of NCT of Delhi to take suo motu cognizance of the arbitrary action of the PTI management to save more than 300 employees and their families from the starvation and suicide.
What is most shocking is that the PTI has been getting a considerable support and subsidy from the Government of India and yet its management has the scant respect for the labour laws. This action of the management demonstrates that it hardly bothers about the rights of the employees as are available to them under the laws of the land. The PTI has also defaulted in properly implementing the recommendations of the Majithia Wage Board but this action of the management has come as a bolt from the blue as no prior permission was obtained from the appropriate government. The IFWJ and the DUWJ have also asked the management to see the reason and take back all employees to avoid the industrial unrest in the organisation.
