Posted by ac on September 6th, 2010
“The workers blocked major roads in the capital and continued their protest but neither the government nor the PTCL management paid any heed to their demand. Management have sacked 1,200 workers and have stopped the wages of 16,000 workers. Management is also planning to sack 16,000 workers from their jobs. Against these measure workers are planning to jam the telecommunication network in Pakistan.
The workers are standing strong in their resolve. Today on 3rd Sep the Police launched a crackdown on the strike camp. Hundreds of workers were tortured and many have been arrested.”
