This directive is contained in a statement signed by Ayuba Pukat, the zonal organising secretary 1, North-West of the union.

According to the statement, the call for the withdrawal of services is based on the “provocative method of selective payment of salary, contrary to the provisions of the company’s conditions of service.”
