DUJ’s Solidarity With Struggling Jagran Workers

The extended Executive Committee meeting of the Delhi Union of Journalists and the Press Unity Centre 2015 held has extended support to the ongoing struggle of the Jagran journalists and employees who have been agitating since quite some time for the implementation of the Majithia Wage Board Award.  The agitating employees and journalists are also protesting against the victimization of activists by the management.

The meeting recorded that for the first time Jagran employees throughout the country have banded together to fight against unfair labour practices and even attempts to browbeat their recognized unions. While congratulating the unity of the workers the DUJ called upon its members to join the solidarity dharna at Jantar Mantar on October 2 around mid day. The DUJ also decided in principle to be impeded as a party to a TV employees case for application of the Working Journalists Act to the electronic media and for enforcement of the Majithia Award. The DUJ late in the evening also hosted a reception for the newly elected office bearers of the Indian Express & Jansatta Workers Union.
