Assam along with the other north eastern states are bracing up for an acute crisis of petroleum products as hundreds of workers associated here are on strike for minimum wages and other benefits.
Talking to Assam Times, Assam Petroleum Mazdoor Union leaders said that the oil marketing companies have not been listening to the demands and that strike is the only way to keep these on mounting pressure.
“We are underpaid. We don’t have other facilities like provident fund and ESIC. For the last couple of year we have been demanding these. But they are least bothered. Do they want us to lead a unsecured life? Even we don’t have PF. What will we do?,” said the workers on strike.
They further said, “Right now how can we say that we would resume works soon. Let IOC, BPCL and HPCL suffer. Let them talk to us. Only then we will call off the indefinite strike.”
APMU leaders talked with the oil marketing companies in November last year. But of no avail.
