HYDERABAD, March 2: The retrenchment of 1,800 employees of the Zarai Taraqiati Bank Ltd without any `show cause’ notice and benefits was condemned by the general secretary, Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) Labour Wing, Malik Naeem Awan.

Lamenting the action during a press conference on Friday, he said only employees below Grade-16 were fired while `big fish’ were not touched though they were a burden on the bank. It was an irony that these poor employees could not get remedy from any court of law, he said.
