“It is very much regretted that neither you nor any of your representatives have responded positively so far to our letter dated 23.04.2018.
Therefore, the executive committee of our union at its meeting held today decided to revive the strike call and call upon its members to go on an indefinite strike from the early hours of 28.04.2018,” a release from the employees union said.
The union added that it had been forced to take this extreme step by the management and the representatives.
