NEW DELHI: Ahead of the proposed two-day strike by Central trade unions beginning Wednesday, the Government has warned employees of "consequences" including deduction in wages and disciplinary action if they take part in the protest.
In a stern directive, the Department of Personnel and Training has written to secretaries of all central government ministries not to sanction any kind of leave to employees during the period of the proposed strike.
It has also asked the concerned departments to make a report indicating the number of employees who take part in the proposed strike and convey it to the DoPT on the evening of the day.
The instructions issued by the DoPT prohibit a government servant from participating in any form of strike including mass casual leave, go-slow etc. or any action that abet any form of strike in violation of Rule of the Central Civil Services (Conduct) Rules, 1964.
