The Pioneer reported that the old employees of Rathi Steels locked up the office of the Deputy Labour Commissioner in Sambhalpur when the pre-fixed tripartite meeting could not be held in the stipulated time. The employees, the labour leaders and even local MLA Nauri Naik got infuriated when the company authorities didn’t turn up on Saturday afternoon as per the stipulated date and time.
The steel company established at the other end of river Mahanadi was closed in the year 2012 and the employees of all ranks turned jobless all on a sudden. But the company authorities are now making the renovation work after seven year to run it again. They have approached the District Labour Officer and the Deputy Labour Commissioner to take necessary step with the management so that the old employees can get back their jobs.
