The 108 Ambulance employees’ strike came to an end on its eleventh day on Saturday. The company and the striking employees agreed on certain terms. Earlier, the striking employees shouted slogans against the State Government and the Jigitsa Health Care Company. The company had published advertisement for new recruitments according to which new pilots were to be recruited from across the State, including the State Capital Bhopal.
Media in-charge of the Ambulance Union Aslam Khan informed that the 108 Ambulance employees were on strike since last eleven days but the government and the company were not paying any attention. Instead of accepting the demands of the employees’ union, the company had issued advertisement for recruitment of new staff. Though after mutual consent over some demands the strike was called off, he added.
He said that the company in order to pressurize the striking employees issued advertisement and angry over that the employed shouted slogans against the company and the State Government.
