About 90,000 employees working with Maharashtra power utilities would strike work for three days from August 22 to demand pension and cancellation of franchisee policy. All the unions and federations in states will conduct the supportive action on 22nd August'07 under the banner of National Coordination committee of Electricity Employees and Engineers by way of dharnas and rallies against the privatisation drive in Maharashtra, UP (Anpara) and for extension of SEBs.

MSEB Workers Federation, an umbrella body of all 17 workers unions in the erstwhile state company, had called for a 72 hour strike beginning from midnight of August 21, as  the Government has neglected their demands regarding implementation of pension scheme and abolishing franchisee system adopted by the Maharashtra Electricity Distribution Company Ltd. Some of the salient demands are cancellation of franchisee policy, the meeting of a wage agreement, the starting of pensions, the filling up of 25 to 30 thousand vacancies and halting contract based employees. Some 3,000 relatives of employees who have died on the job are to be given employment as well.
