As Aditya Thackeray, The Minister for Environment, Tourism and Climate Change, refused to meet a deputation of Asha and Group Motivators Workers Union, (CITU), the representatives handed over a memorandum to Vijaya Bankar, Resident Deputy Collector, here on Monday.
Asha workers and Group Motivators resorted to strike and then launched ‘Belan†(wooden roller) agitation at Samvidhan Chowk.
Their grievances include: The Centre or State Government not paid any honorarium during Covid-19 services done by them, minimum wages, payments for participating in the survey, giving medicine distribution work well before expiry date of medicines, giving stationery and enquiry into funds for it, regular monthly honorarium to them etc.
Rajendra Sathe, President of the union, Priti Meshram, Ranjana Paunikar, Ruplata Bomble, Anju Chopde, Laxmi Kottejwar, Maya Kawale, Kanchan Borkar and Archana Kolhe led the workers during agitation.
