wesco office ransacked by its workers

Agitating employees of the WESCO went rampage and ransacked its corporate office at Burla on Monday alleging apathetic attitude of the management towards them. They were sitting in a demonstration under the banner of Hira GED workers union, in support of their 4 charters demands. The agitators went violent when they learnt about the absent of the CEO in his office despite their prior notice.

“We had already circulated our demonstration notice to the CEO of Wesco and other officials with a request to remain present in the office for a constructive solution of our demands. But surprisingly the CEO went Bhubanewar on the previous night with out considering the demands of the employees. This was sufficient to enrage the employees. So what happened was the reflection of the anguish of the employees”, the president of the Hira GTD workers union Lalit Nayak told.

According to him the union has been fighting against the policy of the WESCO since its inception as the company does not consider the service condition of its employees. Company has engaged contractual employee through outsourcing. Several posts are lying vacant and the management does not take step to fill up the vacancy.

“We wanted to discuss these problems with the CEO of the company on Monday soon after completion of our demonstration. But it was not possible because the CEO went to Bhubaneswar on the previous night with out considering the fate of hundreds employees”, the president of the union Nayak said.

“How ever we are ready for further discussion with the WESCO management to solve the problems of the employees. But incase the management does not take the matter seriously we warn the management for bigger consequences”, Nayak told. On the other hand the CEO of Wesco Prasant Pradhan was not available for his comment.
