Workers of the Puducherry Agro Products, Food and Civil Supplies Corporation (PAPSCO), a Puducherry government undertaking who were on strike since Friday demanding disbursal of pending salaries returned to work on Monday after Chief Minister N. Rangasamy assured to look into their grievances and asked them to report to work.
The dismissal order of 752 voucher based and daily rated workers in PAPSCO was also revoked by Chief Minister N. Rangasamy after a meeting with the workers in the Assembly on Sunday.
A senior official in PAPSCO said that the dismissal order was only a warning to the workers not to repeat such misconduct in future.
The management has since revoked its order and all the retrenched workers have been reinstated and accommodated in their respective positions in the various outlets of the Corporation.
A spokesperson of the PAPSCO workers union pointed out that they would continue to engage in dialogue with the management to make sure their demands were addressed.
All the workers including permanent employees have returned to work after the Chief Minister assured to address our grievances.
The Chief Minister has also assured to appoint a regular Managing Director for the Corporation in a few days, he added.
