KESC Workers Yakhjheti (Unity) Committee (KWYC) on Monday vowed to broaden the scope of protest against the management of Karachi Electricity Supply Company and said the prevailing circumstances forced them to hold protest demonstration outside Governor's House.
Hundreds of KESC workers under the banner of KWYC gathered at the Karachi Press Club and raised slogans against the KESC management and its chief Tabish Gauhar for allegedly terminating employees without any reason and forcing them to opt voluntary separation scheme (VSS).
Habibuddin Junaidi of KWYC said, "Continuing struggle of workers had now proved their determination and courage for reclaiming their confiscated rights". He said despite having protested for more than nine months, the confidence of workers was being strengthened with every passing day.
He said no dialogue with any stakeholder would take place on the cost of workers rights. He strongly demanded of the government to re-nationalise KESC with immediate effect and withdraw all 'fake' cases lodged against labour union officials.
