FNJ protests for minimum wage at Kantipur Media Group

The Federation of Nepali Journalists (FNJ) on Tuesday staged a protest for an hour at the office of the Kantipur Media Group (KMG) in Thapathali demanding an implementation of the minimum wages.

The journalists staged a sit-in for an hour at the call of the FNJ by putting demands of complete implementation of the Working Journalist Act and reinstatement of 86 journalists who were sacked by the KMG management.

Likewise, the FNJ has also announced the protest programmes for an indefinite period in its bid to pile pressure on the KMG to meet the journalists’ demands at the earliest possible time.

Most of the KMG journalists, who were sacked from their job, have also rejected the agreement that was inked between the management side and the journalists’ representatives.

At the today today’s sit-in, FNJ general secretary Roshan Puri said that protests in the KMG would continue until the journalists’ demands were met.

Meanwhile, the Minimum Wages Fixation Committee has expressed its concerns to the state of non-payment, unlawful contract termination and transfer of the working journalists, officials and employees in some media houses.

Issuing a press statement today, Committee’s Chairperson Sangita Khadka said that the Committee has received complaints on journalists’ transfer, contract termination, dismissal from the job without offering the entitlement ensured by the Act and others.

Khadka termed that complaints on the state’s fourth organ on such issues as unfortunate and has urged the concerned media houses for the immediate and complete implementation of the Working Journalist Act.
