Sangbadik-Sramik-Karmachary Oikya Parishad on Sunday rejected the newly declared 6th wage board and threatened to go for agitation programme to realise the demands.

The parishad at an emergency meeting decided to observe a token work-abstention from 10am to 2pm in all newspaper and news agency offices on December 12. The meeting deeply resented the wage board award that failed the expectations.

Presided by the Parishad convenor Mozammel Haque was attended by Iqbal Sobhan Chowdhury, Ruhul Amin Gazi, Abdul Jalil Bhuiyan, Altaf Mahmud and Azizul Haque Bana.

The leaders condemned the government's one-sided move. They said the award came after 13 years had not raised benefits but slashed some of the existing facilities.

An extended meeting will be held on December 11 to discuss the next course of action. All unit chiefs and DUJ and BFUJ leaders have been requested to attend the meeting.
