BALCO stir continues

RAIPUR, MAY 2. The BALCO trade unions today announced that a decision would be taken on May 4 on the new management's offer to resolve the dispute over privatisation even as they maintained that they were continuing the strike.

The core committee of the seven trade unions met in Korba today in the light of Supreme Court's offer on Tuesday whether the workers were willing to end the strike accepting two months' salary for the strike period.

The BALCO Sanyukt Abhiyan Samiti leader, Mr. Brahma Singh, said ``the workers are not prepared to resume duty after taking two months' advance. It was therefore decided to continue the strike.''
