WCL India appeals to workers to reconsider strike

 

NAGPUR.  The WCL management has appealed to its workers' unions to reconsider their call for a five-day strike from Tuesday.

 

 

 

According to a release issued by the Western Coalfield Ltd (WCL), a subsidiary company of Coal India Ltd, the proposed strike would disturb coal supply to the power plants in the country.

 

 

 

 Appealing to the unions to reconsider their decision, WCL Chairman and Managing Director  Shri Rajiv Ranjan Mishra said that the strike would hit the company's financial position again and lead to losses this year as well.

 

 

 

WCL has said that since coal industry is a public utility, it is illegal for the workers associated with it to go on a strike.
