Trade union representative in EPFO opposes Reliance AMC stake sale

Press Trust Of India / New Delhi May 28, 2012, 00:59 IST

A trade union representative in the Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has opposed the decision of its fund manager Reliance Capital Asset Management, a Anil Ambani group firm, to sell 26 per cent stake to Japanese insurance firm Nippon Life.
“We are against the entry of foreign investors in the asset management firm managing EPFO funds. This is against the interest of workers,” B N Rai, secretary, Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh, said.

Under the contract with EPFO, its fund managers, “shall not undertake any corporate action including mergers, amalgamations, take over, acquisition, divestment, etc, without prior written approval of the trust”. The matter came up for discussion before EPFO’s advisory body, Finance and Investment Committee, on Friday, and faced opposition from Rai, the sole union member present at the meeting.
In view of the stiff opposition, the issue, which was listed on the agenda, was dropped at the recent meeting of the Central Board of Trustees (CBT), the apex decision-making body of the EPFO, in Chennai on Friday.
Reliance Capital Asset Management CEO Sundeep Sikka said: “We are not aware of issues, if any, raised by trade union representatives, in relation to EPFO approvals.” He said Reliance Capital AMC had announced a 26 per cent equity stake sale to Nippon Life “subject to various regulatory approvals already been applied for”. Approval from the Competition Commission of India had already been received, he added.

 Press Release.

Sudden Price Hike On Petrol Condemned by BMS

New Delhi: May 24: The abnormal price hike on petrol around Rs. 7.50 per litre from the midnight on 23^rd May 2012 has strongly effected common people.

            Shri B.N. Rai, General Secretary, Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) said in a press release that this is the direct effect of devaluation of Indian money in the market for which the Central Government is alone responsible.

             This UPA Govt. has no care for people of India.  They are taking unilateral and whimsical decision against the citizens of our country.

            BMS strongly condemn the such action of UPA Govt.  It is surprising that other political parties of the UPA are also criticizing the policies of the Govt. but they are not taking any effective action.

            Therefore BMS call upon the people of India to lodge strong protest by different democratic agitional programmes.

            Considering the gravity of the situation all Central Trade Union Organisations are going to meet on 26^th May 2012 for finalising nation wide democratic agitation programme.
