Chittagong Water Supply and Sewerage Authority Employees Union observed a token hunger strike and held a rally on the CWASA premises on Wednesday demanding immediate reinstatement of the employees terminated during the rule of the four-party alliance.
Chaired by Nurul Islam, one of the sacked employees, the programme was addressed by former lawmaker Kafil Uddin, Ibrahim Hossain Babul, Shahidul Haque Chowdhury and Shamsul Haque.
The union also demanded regularisation of the service of work charge and master roll workers and employees, introduction of pension benefit, promotions for ministerial and lower subordinate staff and gatemen, promotion of the pump drivers to tube-well foremen according to seniority and experience and better hospital facilities.
The union leaders said that unless their demands were met immediately, they would go for a tougher action programme soon.
