    OSOA represents 45,000 employees involved in all segments of petroleum activity and a strike could bring aviation services to a standstill within minutes and cripple auto and cooking fuel supplies if it lasts for two days. OSOA is protesting against government’s decision to give smaller pay hikes than what had been recommended by the Rao Committee.

    OSOA StrikeBy: OSOA Unidentified Member | 07-Jan-2009 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. GOI of is the view that they can piggy ride on the backs of these very people on which the economy is running (as no fuel means no economy). 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.
    OSOA STRIKEBy: LPG Distributors | 07-Jan-2009 Reply | Forward Why Govt. form a Committee after Committee whey they are not intended to follow their suggestions. It is simply an eyewash. For the last two years they are delaying things.
