Further to our last post titled ''Derogatory article in Mumbai Mirror'' we reproduce below the protest letter which we (NOINO & NOIW) wrote to the Chairman against the article:
NATIONAL ORGANIZATION OF INSURANCE OFFICERS
NATIONAL ORGANIZATION OF INSURANCE WORKERS
(Affiliated to B.M.S.)
18.9.2010.
The Chairman,
L.I.C. of India.
Respected Sir,
Re: Article in Mumbai Mirror
We draw your attention to the article ‘Your money, their lunch’ in today’s edition of Mumbai Mirror. The article is in a very bad taste & paints the LIC employees as perennial latecomers & work-shirkers. The entire tone of the article suggests as if till now all the LIC employees were coming late & the Corporation has to enforce discipline through such measures. We have received countless angry reactions from the employees on this issue.
.
The title of the article is most offensive & highly objectionable. The article contains many basic errors like the number of employees (which has been inflated to 1.40 lakhs). It also uses objectionable language (like LIC is bribing its employees to come on time) & throws barbs at the employees (weird variation of mid-day meal scheme). Media ethics like verifying facts from the officials of the Corporation have been given a convenient go-by. We also object to the term ‘Taxpayers’ money being spent’ which again is not true.
.
We register our strong protest on this issue. The image of the employees & consequently the Corporation is at stake. We demand that the Corporation should immediately shoot a strong rejoinder to this newspaper & demand an apology from the writer of this article for hurting the sentiments of the employees & showing them in a poor light. The Corporation should also take the extreme step of stopping all advertisements to this paper in case the apology is not forthcoming. We also reiterate our earlier demand that no conditions should be attached with any benefit as this is giving rise to the above false impression.
.
Yours faithfully,

YOUR MONEY, THEIR LUNCH IS CORRECT, SINCE NOW WHAT THEY ARE GETTING COMPARATIVE WITH OTHERS IS ALREADY JUSTICE AND NO NEED TO GIVE LIKE THIS NON-SENSE ALLOWANCES TO THE EMPLOYEES.
