Darjeeling, 15th April: GNLF Labor Organization (HPWU) Darjeeling Branch Committee President Sudesh Rai via a press release said, “workers in the tea estates are not just voting machines. We strongly oppose the dual policy imposed by the Central, State government and the GTA on tea workers.”
According to Rai, after the state allowed a 25% workforce in the tea garden, it was immediately put into force by the garden’s management. Now the question arises that if they implemented this said directive so instantly, then why have they not implemented the directive issued before it; where the government had asked them to pay the long-pending wages of the tea laborers.
