Sir,
In continuation to our letter dated 18/11/2009 addressed to you. Enclosed herewith please
find the Charter of Demands for the workmen of Dumdum Road Factory . You are well
aware that there is an extraordinary and unprecedented price – hike of all the day to day
necessaries essential for the workmen. The workmen are suffering fiercely to maintain their
families within the limits of their present earning. The annexed Charter of Demands has
been prepared to get a slight relief from the suffering of the workmen, which will certainly
be found to be fair and reasonable having retrospective effect from 1-1-2010 for the
period of three years.
We therefore, request you to start discussion over the Charter of Demands so that we can
reach a new settlement in early time.
Expecting your considerate reply at the earliest.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
Mr. Ramesh Kumar and
