SWR Mazdoor Union criticisedfor ‘assaulting' NREU members
Respect the democratic rights of other trade unions: NREU
Assertive:Members of the Nairuthya Railway Employees' Union taking out a protest march in Hubli on Monday.
Scores of employees of the South Western Railway took out a protest march in Hubli on Monday condemned the assault on some railway employees allegedly by office-bearers of the SWR Mazdoor Union.
Commencing from the Hubli railway station, the railway employees marched to the office of the General Manager of South Western Railway under the aegis of Nairuthya Railway Employees' Union (NREU) holding placards and banners condemning “intimidating behaviour” of some trade union leaders.
The protesters said that NREU was a registered trade union under the Trade Unions Act and as a registered trade union it had its democratic rights under the law of the land. However, a few office-bearers of the SWR Mazdoor Union were trying to prevent the NREU members from creating awareness among the railway employees about their rights.
President of the NREU S. Prasannakumar and working president T. Sabu, and district secretary of CITU Mahesh Pattar led the protest march. They then staged a demonstration in front of the General Manager's office.
Addressing the protesters, the NREU leaders condemned the attack on NREU office-bearers in Hubli on April 28. They said that the NREU office-bearers were prevented from speaking to workers.
Later, SWRMU office-bearer A.M. D'cruz and his followers attacked them and they were released by the mob only after the Assistant Security Commissioner of the Railway Protection Force intervened.
They urged the SWRMU leaders to respect the democratic rights of others. They submitted a memorandum to the SWR authorities.
