About 40,000 employees of the four government owned non-life insurance
companies will strike work on Friday demanding wage revision, said a
leader of the All India Insurance Employees' Association (AIIEA).
"About 40,000 or about 80 per cent of the employees in the
four government owned general insurers -- National Insurance Company
Ltd, The New India Assurance Company Ltd, The Oriental Insurance Company
Ltd and United India Insurance Company Ltd -- will strike work on
Friday pressing mainly for wage revision that fell due in 2017," G.
Anand, General Secretary, South Zone AIIEA, told IANS.
According to him, 16 employees unions and associations representing officers and clerks will be participating in the strike.
However,
the major union in the government owned general insurance sector
General Insurance Employees' All India Association (GIEAIA) is not
participating in the strike.
Wage revision for the employees of the four companies fell due in August 2017.
With
the wage revision completed in banking and in Life Insurance
Corporation of India (LIC), employees in the public sector general
insurance companies are very upset.
On its part the government
has announced its intention to privatise one of the following companies
-- National Insurance, Oriental Insurance and United India.
