Lucknow, Aug 21 :  Employees and engineers of the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) would launch the agitation from tomorrow against delay in implementing the Seventh Pay Commission recommendations even after promising it to do so from July. In the first phase, tomorrow after the meeting of the joint action committee at the field hostel, a march would be held to the UPPCL office where they will hand over a memorandum to the management. Around 1,000 delegates are likely to join the march for which the action committee had given notice to the UPPCL on August 8. Convener of the Joint Action Committee Shailendra Dubey said today that it is unfortunate that even after promising to implement the seventh pay commission to the employees from July salary they have gone against it. Seeking an intervention of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in the matter, he said several trade union leaders have given their support in the agitation of power employees. The other demands of the power employees are merging all power corporations, not closing public-sector power plants for the sake of purchasing power from the private sector and direct payment to contractual workers. The committee has chalked out a strategy of long term agitation with a sit-in dharna at all district headquarters and power plants on August 30. They have also given a notice to the government that if their demands are not met then the power employees would be forced to go on an indefinite strike from September 12. UNI
