PESCO ends union fund cut from salaries

Business Recorder reported that the Peshawar Electric Supply Company, known as PESCO, has ended deductions from staff salaries for the union fund through a formal notification. The same notice bars any individual, group or organisation from acting as a representative of PESCO or its workers. It also forbids union protests, strikes and similar activities and rules out the use of company offices for union business.

PESCO management said an administrative mechanism already exists to handle staff complaints, and workers can take their cases to the relevant authorities through it. Employees, meanwhile, have welcomed the move, saying the end of the deduction will bring them financial relief, as the deduction no longer applies to their pay.
