Building a Wider
Horizon With Labour
Around 400-500 employees work in Purti Power and Sugar Ltd, on regular basis but since the past 1-2 years, the employees are not being paid their salaries on the scheduled date – 7 of every month. The office-bearers of Employees Union claimed that despite several representations and applications the Management of Purti Power and Sugar Ltd, based in Khursapar (Bela) in Umred Tehsil, has repeatedly failed to make salaries of the workers regularly every month. When asked about the problem, the Manager of Purti Power and Sugar Ltd, Atul Bande said that soon a discussion with senior officials and Directors of the company will be held and the issue will be resolved in the next 2-3 days. The office-bearers of the Union met the management and demanded regular salaries and payment of arrears with 10 percent interest. This irregular payment of salaries put the employees in lot of problems in their day-to-day livelihood.
