Akshay Ashok Salve Secures Justice for Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation Workers After 18 Years
Sanitation workers of the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation had been working for the past 18 years without receiving any basic facilities or rights from the municipality. Even the tenders issued by the corporation failed to provide any benefits to the workers. They were deprived of minimum wages, ESIC (Employee State Insurance Corporation) benefits, and faced discrepancies in their provident fund contributions. Out of 365 working days, they were only paid for 240 days, with no payment for the remaining days. They had no annual leaves or paid holidays, suffering under these conditions for nearly two decades.
Faced with this injustice, the sanitation workers of Navi Mumbai approached Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Kamgar Sena’s National President, Akshay Ashok Salve. He assured them that their issues would be resolved and that they would receive the justice they deserved.
After persistent efforts, Salve successfully secured justice for the sanitation workers. For the first time in Maharashtra, after 18 years, sanitation workers finally received their due rights through the intervention of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Kamgar Sena. Discussions were held with Navi Mumbai Municipal Commissioner Mr. Shinde, Additional Commissioner Mr. Pawar, and Deputy Commissioner of Education Ms. Sangharatna Khillare. Within three to four months, the workers’ demands were met, and the municipality acknowledged its mistakes, ensuring justice for the workers.
Following this victory, Akshay Ashok Salve is now working on resolving similar issues in other municipal corporations across Maharashtra. Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Kamgar Sena is reaching every district, taluka, and city to secure justice for workers. People facing labor-related issues are encouraged to approach the organization for support, ensuring their problems are resolved swiftly.
Salve has already helped numerous workers, including those at Maharashtra’s Mantralaya, New Administrative Building, MLA residences, Konkan Bhavan, and railway workers, in securing their rights. Recognized as Maharashtra’s “Young Labor Leader,” he remains committed to addressing labor issues across the state. His vision is to ensure that minimum wages are implemented across Maharashtra, bringing justice to all workers.
