BlackmailBy: Arya Newton | Friday , 9 Jan '09 20:04:37 PM Reply | Forward Let me paint a scenario to my friends from these PSUs. Consider your conitnued stike draws a number of angry people carrying stones attacking your residence places and you call in the police for help but you learn that they are on strike as they are being very pporrly paid and job conditions are pathetic. Even though you would would agree with their very genuine grievances, would you still not expect them to perform their duty which is maintaining law and order and air their greivances in a different manner ? When you deicide to join PSUs , you must place masses interest first and resolve not to blackmail. We all know that there has been some discontent in the army for some while regarding pay-revisions but would we ever imagine the soldier to declare they are on strike ??? So, Please be like these soldiers - continue to serve your nation and simulataneously DO express your unahpiness about your terms but not holding the nation to a ransom.
PSUBy: Kumar Kumbla | Friday , 9 Jan '09 19:29:42 PM Reply | Forward Another PSU sector is Banking. The service provided by this sector is horrible. Most of their employees have no respect for customers They get hefty salaries, get more benefits than other sectors and do little work with lot of grumbling.

PSU oil sector employees are being unreasonableBy: Indian | Friday , 9 Jan '09 17:35:22 PM Reply | Forward First things first......let us all understand the basics......the world at large does not owe us a living.The oil sector employees are all very well paid compared to most other sectors.And they want hefty hikes in addition to this.Fact is if someone does not like the conditions of pay,he/she is free to leave and join other employers where they think they will get a better deal.Such disgruntled elements cannot hold the entire nation to ransom,they can always leave for better prospects,if they cannot they should shut their loud mouths and stay put.They are exploited at all.They can always leave if they feel they are worth much more.Period.
Strike by Employees of PSU Oil CompaniesBy: A.Natarajan | Saturday , 10 Jan '09 3:29:03 AM Reply | Forward You have not understood the concept at all. The Government has thoroughly failed to handle the situation. When the Unions had given the strike notice, necessary steps to have been taken to address their demands. When the Government announces hefty pay revisions to MPs, MLAs and Ministers, there is every justification for considering the demands of employees who are working for the betterment of the economy. Instead of analysing the issue in its full perspective, your irresponsible comment with your fictitious name as 'Indian' is most unwarranted.

strike justifiedBy: ongc gt | Friday , 9 Jan '09 20:31:53 PM Reply | Forward Its sad to see how IGNORANT the common people are about the issue.Firstly, the strike is not a sudden surprise which has taken the govt unawares. The Officers Assoc. has been negotiating since one year, and have been trying to get the issues settled without resorting to strike.Secondly, they are NOT ASKING FOR TAX PAYERS MONEY! The payments are going to be made by the individual companies only. Actually, it is these companies who are paying crores to the Indian Govt. ONGC paid more than 10,000 crores to the Exchequer last year. Thirdly, these are COMPANIES NOT GOVT DEPARTMENTS. They make profits and losses, they fight it out wth private players in a level playing field. Their employees are a huge poaching ground for these pvt companies, who pay very high salary. If u have to maintain the profitablity of these companies FOR NATIONAL BENEFIT, u must give them competitive salary. Isnt it simple business sense? True, there will be many who will easily take their place for lesser pay, but then do u even have any idea of something called TALENT RETENTION, EXCELLENCE, COMPETENCY? Fourthly, the media has not given the true picture, and thats a shame. It seems its completely been bought over by the vested interests.
THINK BOTH SIDEBy: BHARAT | Friday , 9 Jan '09 17:31:51 PM Reply | Forward I am working with ONGC and i very well know how to drill well in deep rough sea. we work day and night far from our home. real fact is that some one not interested to hike PSU salary in comparison of govt employee. pay revision not daily activity it take 10 years so our minister must hav far vision. some news channel flashing wrong data that entry level saw will 1 lakh and CMD 3 lakh. truth is that entry level just Rs 2000 to 3000difference is there .
People who strike in Essential Commodities are equivalent to terroristsBy: Shivaji | Saturday , 10 Jan '09 3:09:15 AM Reply | Forward This is for Mr. Bharat, going by the merits of your support for strike, I am shocked and appalled at your contentions which apparently forced you guys to strike. Imagine, if even our Armed forces
Stop crying......u can always leave your job if you are underpaid!By: Indian | Friday , 9 Jan '09 18:41:39 PM Reply | Forward And how many sectors give us entry levels of even INR 20,000/-? Fact is most people in our country start their careers with pay packets of around INR 6000/- or 7000/- at most and that too with no job security...and I am not talking of just any Tom from the streets,I am speaking of graduates who work with their hands and legs like you claim to!Get down to earth,man!If you don't agree with your pay you can always go to where you feel you'll get paid better!Stop complaining.Period.
Ignorance and callousnessBy: Sandeep | Friday , 9 Jan '09 21:09:43 PM Reply | Forward It seems you are totally ignorant. People having Engineering/ Management Degrees from good institutes do not start their career with Rs.6000-7000/- salary.Even plain- graduate Call Centre employees get more salary these days
APPLES AND ORANGES....By: rysk | Friday , 9 Jan '09 20:38:41 PM Reply | Forward Well, I am not a PSU Employee, but Stating that average indian gets 7000 Per month and comparing it to someone who cleared a competitive exam AND has a professional degree is plain stupid.

PETROL - TRANSPORTER STRIKEBy: balu | Friday , 9 Jan '09 17:03:04 PM Reply | Forward The Government is unnecessarily creating problem. At the First instance it should have reduced the Petrol and Diesel Prices as per the international crude oil prices. On what way the Government is right, I don't know. When there is a price increase it increases the fuel prices. Similarly when there is a decline the Government should immediately reduced the prices. The crisis won't arise. This Government wants Problems, enjoys on the suffering of the common man. That is the basic policy of the Central Government.
