Power sector unions under the banner of the National Coordination Committee of Electricity Employees’ and Engineers (NCCOEEE) on Wednesday unveiled a multi-pronged plan of campaign against the KSEB management’s move to adopt the TOTEX model for prepaid smart meter roll-out in Kerala.
From May 15 to 30, union members will call on KSEB consumers to sensitise them about the hidden dangers in the TOTEX model. District-level rallies are planned from June 5 to June 10. On June 20, a protest march attended by 10,000 KSEB employees will be taken out to the KSEB headquarters at Pattom where the subsequent course of action, including strikes, will be announced.
The announcement was made at an NCCOEEE convention attended by around 11 unions representing workers, officers, pensioners, and contract employees of the KSEB including those backed by the CITU, INTUC and AITUC.
