A campaign by the Maoist unions in the past weeks has closed down
factories, harmed workers and threatens to unravel the party's own plan
to boost investment and create jobs.
Although the unrest is
made to look like a labour issue, trade unionists say it is a guise to
extort money, get jobs for cadres and relatives and a strategy to
control the business sector.
"They are not trade unions but
political pressure groups, and will not benefit the workers," says
Bishnu Rimal of the Federation of Trade Unions.
In its latest
campaign this month, the Maoists have broken an agreement they made
jointly with other unions on the minimum wage and have forced the
closure of hundreds of factories and firms across the country. It is
using an ambiguous clause in the government's minimum wage decision in
October to unilaterally push a populist agitation.
The campaign
is led by the head of the Maoist trade union, Salikram Jamarkattel who
during the war was involved in extorting money from businesses, bombing
and kidnapping owners who refused. His union has also been targeting
multinational companies, forcing many to close shop, thus reversing the
gains Nepal made in the 1990s to attract foreign investment.
"It's
got to a point now where even big domestic investors feel it's just not
worth it," says industrialist and CA member, Rajendra Khetan, "If
things don't improve we'll all soon be NRNs." Khetan's Gorkha brewery
has just shelved its plan to open a new manufacturing unit for
Carlsberg beer near Biratnagar and is moving abroad. Colgate Palmolive
decided to quit Nepal, citing militant labour as one of the reasons.
The biggest foreign investor in Nepal, Dabur Nepal, has put ambitious
expansion plans on hold. Foreign investors who were thinking of coming
to Nepal to set up manufacturing units are moving to Himachal and
Uttaranchal, citing the lack of rule of law in Nepal.
"This is
the worst investment climate we've ever had," says labour specialist
Narayan Manadhar, "businesses are completely demoralised, and the
unions have been cowed down by the Maoists."
Trade unions here
have traditionally been beholden to their patron political parties and
not to the workers. "Nepali trade unions were run like NGOs and were
spoilt by funding," says Maoist-nominated CA member Hari Roka, who says
the Maoist unions have just moved into the vacuum they left.
However,
the Maoists are now determined to dominate the business sector even if
it means getting the Labour Ministry that they control to illegally
register unions. This has sidelined established unions that represented
the genuine voice of the workers.
Although Maoist unions
themselves have misgivings about this trend, analysts say, Prime
Minister Dahal appears to be either unable or unwilling to control the
militant ways of Jamarkattel and his team.
