KATHMANDU, April 27: Various trade unions active in the civil service sector have urged the government not to reduce trade union rights in the Federal Civil Service Bill.
They have demanded that full trade union rights be ensured so that all workers can organise and be members of the union of their choice, in accordance with Nepal's Constitution and the agreements signed and ratified by Nepal at the International Labour Organization.
