Imphal, May 11 2021:
MSPDCL Engage Employees Union urged for social security coverage of contract employee of MSPDCL.
The union said this in a statement issued today and added that the contract employees are working days in days out even during the pandemic to ensure uninterrupted power supply and smooth running of the corporation including prepaid recharges.
Contract employees like computer operator, MRCBD etc are working on minimal pay and are also not covered in social securities schemes like EPF etc.
If all the contract employees were to stop working, the smooth running of the corporation will be interrupted and even online recharge payment will be hit, added the statement.
The union urged the Government and relevant MSPDCL authority to ensure that the contract employees are covered in social security schemes.
