The ongoing tussle between the trustees of the Bombay Parsi Punchayet (BPP) and the Mumbai Mazdoor Union has intensified, with the trustees deciding to issue show cause notices to the class IV workers who took a mass casual leave on August 21, and cut their salaries. The decision was taken at BPP's board meeting held on Thursday.

Didn't stick to norms
The trustees had sought the advice of their legal counsel, who informed them that the mass casual leave that the class IV workers took on August 21 could be treated as a strike, because the employees did not stick to the norms while informing BPP about it. BPP chairman Yezdi Desai alleged that of the 240 workers who went on the strike, 200 of the union members have been taking advantage of the 40 Doongerwadi workers.
