MPT employees have decided to stage demonstration in front of General Administrative building on Wednesday from 10.00 hrs to 11.00 hrs.
GPADEU stated that the wage revision agreement of Major Ports of India was due since 1.1.2017 to 31.12.2021, and the same was signed on 30.08.2018. One of the condition in the agreement was that the revised wages to be implemented within two months from signing the agreement.
“All the ports in India implemented the revised pay, though some ports are in financial crises. The MPT Management, has not implemented the new pay scales of the employees even though the nine months have passed signing the agreement , which was due since last 30 months. This Union has
approached the authority time and again requesting to implement the same but the management every time gives excuse that the port is facing financial crises and not in position to implement the same at this stage,” stated the GPADEU.
