OSOA StrikeBy: OSOA Unidentified Member | Wednesday , 7 Jan '09 23:17:30 PM Reply | Forward The Government of India feels that 55,000 odd employees of Oil Sector PSU isn't worthy of a Vote Bank and hence has been dilly dallying the matter for the last 15 years regarding their pay revision.

It's high time that GOI has a rethink and instead of tossing around the issue in various ministries and sections and come to a definite conclusion regarding our demands. Otherwise they may face a rebuke not only from the employees of OIL PSU but also from the very Vote Bank they are depending upon in the next General Elections. Off late, we have seen that we are being governed by enunchs (no distate but common phrase) be it Terrorism, Raj Thackrey, Pakistan, China etc and they have no concerns regarding the country but their OWN POCKETS (Vested Interests). It's high time that we show them where they belong and what the People Power is.
