KATHMANDU, May 6: The government has finally scrapped the provisions relating to trade unions in civil service. The trade unions rife in the name of various political parties had plagued the administration for long, the government argued.
In a press release issued on Tuesday, a section officer at the Ministry of Federal Affairs and General Administration, Bibek Bidari, reminded that Section 53 of the Civil Service Act, 2049 BS, was repealed after the issuance of an Ordinance, 2083 BS, which was made to amend some Nepal Acts. With this, there is no existence of trade unions in the civil service from now on.
Chaos, united
In the wake of the new law in place, the ministry directed all other ministries, departments, commissions, secretariats and all government agencies to close down the offices of trade unions. The concerned offices have been further asked to immediately return the property—buildings, offices, vehicles and other facilities—used by such trade unions to the government.
The Ministry asked the employees associated with various trade unions to begin assigned responsibilities and the concerned offices to manage their duties accordingly.
