Journos' sit-in for 8th Wage Board May 31
Sangbadik-Sramik-Karmachari Oikya Parishad (SSKOP) yesterday deferred its information ministry sit-in programme until May 31.
The programme, which was scheduled to be held today (Sunday), has been deferred as the ministry in a letter on May 26 announced taking effective steps by the government for formation of the new wage board for the media people.
The decision to defer the programme was taken at an emergency meeting of the parishad at the National Press Club.
The parishad, however, will hold the programme at 11:00am on May 31 if an official gazette notification regarding formation of the 8th Wage Board is not published by May 30.
A five-hour work abstention from 10:00am will also be observed in all newspapers and news agencies on the day, said a press release.
