LAHORE: This Government has been urged by the All Pakistan WAPDA Hydro Electric Workers’ Union to regularise the staff members who have been working well on a contract basis for years.
In front of LESCO Headquarters Queen Road, hundreds of employees from Grid, Line, Ministerial, and Accounts met to discuss this. In support of their concerns, the workers were waving banners and national flags.
The union’s general secretary, Khurshid Ahmed, urged the federal minister to regularise workers who had been doing their jobs well for years in accordance with a prior agreement made between the union and management.
