Reliance workers renew stir

KURSEONG, Nov. 6: From 12 November onwards, the Gorkha Jan Mukti Reliance Telecom Employees Association Coordination Committee will once again go on an indefinite strike, following their "job back" demand. The decision was made at GJMRTEACC meeting held at Durbin Dara today in which, the GJMM vice president, Mr Pradeep Pradhan and other GJMM leaders were present. Demanding job security, medical facilities and identity cards, the Reliance technicians and guards had staged a strike in August, in which they had shut down the main network supplier's power of Reliance network at Durbin Dara in Kurseong, Reliance phone users across Hills and Sikkim faced problems after this. The GJMRTEACC, convener, Mr Pravin Sherpa said the committee members are working but they don't know whether they are employed with the company since they haven't got the October salary yet. But now, we will not compromise with the compensation.
