Date: 9th

To,
Dr
Manmohansinhji,
Honorable Prime Minister of INDIA,
Prime Minister Office
NEW DELHI.
Through : Collector and
District Magistrate Surat, Gujarat.
Sub: About
strike in ONGC Hazira Petrochemical Complex and for abolishing contract system
from all other companies in Hazira region and providing job to land losers farmers.
REF: Indefinite strike continued from 18-7-2012
in front of ONGC gate Hazira
Gujarat by 650 local contract
workers.
Respected
Sir,
Hazira
industrial area has an investment of more than 1,00,000 Crore rupees in
Southern part of Gujarat. There are major industrial establishments like ONGC,
ESSAR, L&T, Reliance, Kribhco, NTPC, Shell, GSEG, Cairn Energy, Niko
Resources, GSPC, GAIL, ABG Shipyard, ABG- Narmada- Ultratech Cement Plants are operating in the 25 kms of
Hazira coastal belt. The companies
established on the farmers land through land acquisition process had promised
job to one family member of land looser farmers but till today no such jobs
were given. Most of the local people
working in these major companies are on daily wages/contracts without having
any social security and benefits of permanent employees.
Most of the
companies had acquired land through land acquisition process and during the
process all the major companies had promised to give one job to each land
losing farmer. But till today no jobs were given by these companies and no one
is ready to hear them.
The local
people mostly work very hard for these companies and are getting very low
salary like 1/3 to 1/5 than the permanent employees of company for same work.
Most of the companies are having permanent kind of work for which they must
have permanent employees but from 20-25 years they have been continued with contractual
workers. The contractual workers are
ranging between 70-200% of their total permanent strength. So in this region
the industrial development has created deep bias between the local contractual
employees and permanent employees. This is total violation of Labor laws. The companies are looting the labor force
in contract system in which corruption plays vital role. The contractors
are adopting illegal/unethical practices with labors for making more money in
all the companies. Now in this Hazira region labors have united and demanding
their equal rights/wages for equal work.
In this case
of ONGC the local employees are working continuously from 20 to 25 years under
the contract system and they don’t have any benefits like permanent employee.
The 6 contract employees are died during service nothing was given to their
family, 2 employees lost their eyesight nothing was given to them by ONGC. More
than 350 technical staffs are operating the plant but all are under contract
system from years. Moreover due to very high corruption in ONGC system the
contractual workers are not getting their minimum wages and PF also.
Bhartiya
Mazdoor Sangh has demanded action time
to time in this matter for these workers
but nothing has been done by ONGC management.
The Sarpanch Bhatpore Hazira Kantha Vistar Vikas Mandli and BMS gave
ultimatum to ONGC management but it was never responded by ONGC
management.
In these
circumstances where the people are neglected and their voices are being suppressed
the whole 53 coastal villages of Surat come together under the Parivartan Trust
banner and called indefinite strike from 18th July 2012 which is
going on as on date. And today
more than 30,000 people are on road demanding their rights from Government by
this memorandum to Honorable Prime Minister.
The agitation
and strike which is started from ONGC may create law and order situation if not
responded timely. All the major companies will have to suffer due to this major
agitation started recently as they have exploited the labors from years. This
situation is created due to the governmental policies which is relaxed and soft
to the corporate/ industry and not to the workers and people of country. Recent
study of one village namely Dumas has shown that the village has qualified 300
un employed youth in this highly developed Hazira region and industrial belt. So the situation of un-employment and contract
system needs to be addressed immediately with change at policy level in the Government.
We humbly
request you to immediately respond the ONGC strike matter and take positive
action in favor of labors and their human rights/socio-economic needs. The
justice demanded by the labors is their right and their sacrifice to the nation
for industrial development.
Thanking
You sir, and hoping for your positive
reply.
Yours
Faithfully
With BMS,
Grampanchayat Bhatpore, Hazira Katha Vibhg Sahakari Mandli and 53 coastal
village people.

Sub: About
Providing moral and social support to the movement started by Sarpanch of
Bhatpore against abolishing contract system and land losers issue.
REF: A letter of Bhatpore Sarpanch dated 18-6-2012
written to ONGC.
Respected Sir,
We the
representative of people of 32 coastal villages working in coastal region of
Surat district registered wide A 2920 Surat
20-10-2010 as an NGO declare our total support to the issue raised by
Sarpanch of Bhatpore.
The contract
system which is prevailing in the ONGC is violation of the fundamental rights
of the local people and villagers. We will not tolerate injustice done in past
by ONGC to our region. When same work is done by our people they are not provided enough salary in
compare to regular employee from years. The voice of these people had not been
addressed well thinking about the human rights of the local people.
After sending
a prior notice by Sarpanch to ONGC management There is no response from ONGC
management which is not as per natural justice. We feel that ONGC has not
developed good relation with the local people in past and the same policy is
being adopted at present. This is un democratic
way adopted by ONGC management by not taking action.
We all the
people of coastal belt have planned indefinite protest against ONGC management
from 18-7-2012 8-00 PM and it will go on. Any damage or any situation of law and order arises The ONGC
will be sole responsible for that.
We await your positive action in the
issue.
Thanking you and hoping for a
positive reply.
Yours Faithfully
