According to press release, they had suspended their agitational programme to demand early and satisfactory settlement of wage revision and to demand one more option for pension, with suspension of their proposed one day strike on 8th July 2015, after the LIC Management made a written appeal to the unions to suspend the strike.
In response to the joint call of unions, a joint and massive demonstration was held outside LIC office, D.O.Cell Jammu, led by Narinder Sharma,Secretary LIC Class-1 Federation.
