Talks between MPWU and MeECL turn futile

The talk between Progressive Workers’ Union (MPWU) and the chairman of Meghalaya Electricity Corporation Limited (MeECL) and its officers fail as the MeECL did not like the presence of Thma U Rangli Juki (TUR) member Angela Rangad. 

The MeECL officer gave a befitting reply to the casual workers by saying that NGOs are not allowed in the meeting. The regular casual workers accused the MeECL especially the Chairman of violating the Trade Union Act 1926 by saying that Angela Rangad was an invitee from the Union.

Post the unsuccessful meeting the union members assembled at Lumjingshai Polo and drafted a letter to CMD PS Thangkhiew accusing him of being rude.

The Chief said “The problem is not because the State does not have employment opportunities, but it is evidently due to the negligence of the State Government”. He added that there are many industries in the State like Khasi, Jaintia and Ri Bhoi districts but the present government has chosen to close its eyes on this unemployment problem, and did not focus on welfare of the youth. 

He reminded the press that Agreement was made by the Meghalaya government with business houses to provide employment as per the Industrial policy of 1997. A contract was signed by the Government from these big business houses to employ local youths and to restrict these private business houses to hire people from outside the state in running their industries.

The LJP chief had asked the government to strictly abide and enforce the memorandum of understanding signed with these business houses.
