The poor relation
between the management and workers has hit the industrial environment,
according to experts.
Due to the prolonged
political transition, the country is witnessing a poor industrial environment,
said Nepali Congress (NC) leader and former minister Dr Prakash Sharan Mahat,
addressing an interaction here today.
The public sector has to
be responsible, he said, adding that it has to be sensitive on service
delivery. "The management also has to be serious about the problems of
labourers."
The political transition
has discouraged investors as they are seeking alternatives to investment.
"Without investment there will be no employment generation," experts
said, adding that essential service providers like hospitals, telecoms, customs
and hotels have to be serious regarding service delivery.
Increasing trade union
militancy has forced some of the industries to pull down their shutters, which
has increased unemployment. "The politically-backed trade unions have
misinterpreted the philosophy of unions and united bargaining for the larger
good of all, and have become a tool to fulfill political agendas," they
blamed.
Trade union
representatives, however, promised on the occasion, to create an
investment-friendly environment, and improve labour-management relations.
