MANAGEMENT’S UNILATERAL ACTIONS CONTINUE-
EMERGENCY MEETING OF THE OFFICE BEARERS
  
In yet another glaring display of unilateralism, our management is reportedly proceeding with the merger of Some Zones in the name of restructuring which leads to only artificial solution and multiplication of higher level executives. In spite of the strong protest by the majority Officers’ and Employees’ Organizations, our management is proceeding with the agenda of merger of some Zones bypassing the organizations and created a serious gap in the confidence levels between the Trade unions & the management.

Friends, our Federation has shown utmost restraint and has taken all possible steps but the management does not appear to be serious and sincere. Our Federation has been forced to wall.

Under these circumstances an emergency meeting of the selected office bearers of the Federation would be held at our Federation office, Mumbai on Thursday, the 20th March, 2014 to decide further course of actions including organizational actions to protect the interest of the officers.
 
Please await our further circulars.

WARM GREETINGS

Yours Sincerely,
