Visakhapatnam: Defence coordination committee chairman Reddy Venkata Rao has demanded the immediate reinstatement of all suspended employees of the Naval Armament Depot (NAD).
Speaking to the media on Thursday, the chairman stated that the management suspended 36 workers on 22 November after the leaders and workers at NAD demanded payment for overdue overtime work.
He highlighted that individuals who neither visited the CGM office nor were present due to leave were also included in the suspension. Following the union’s intervention, seven suspensions were revoked, but seven new employees were added to the list, Reddy Venkata Rao pointed out. The chairman criticised the new CGM for declaring that overtime wages earned thus far were unlawful and refusing to provide compensation.
