PSEB Engineers Association has decided that all the power engineers will switch off their mobiles from Monday morning indefinitely and will refuse to perform duties of subordinates from 1st. December due to non-fulfilment of agreed genuine demands and to improve conditions under which engineers are performing emergency duties.

The executive committee in its meeting strongly condemned the inhuman attitude of management where engineers have been forced to perform duties of subordinate staff at remote places to avoid possible blackout in the state without any help from the management for the last 12 days .

Further the management has failed to meet the already agreed issue to grant Rs 5500 to all eligible assistant engineers from 2016 as decided earlier.
.
The Association is a press release alleged that the period which was to be utilised for planning, upgrading, and preparing the power system for the next paddy season has been wasted due to the adamant attitude of the management. The billing and collection of corporations has also been severely affected. Tenders for
material procurement is getting delayed and it is anticipated that the crisis due to material shortages experienced during the summer season of 2021 would get even worse in 2022.

This Association further alleged that management has been attempting to squeeze every little incentive given to employees. Every single time employees are being forced to agitate and then management, after disturbing the industrial peace, withdraws such irritants.
