Dear friends,



This is to let you all know, for now, all Trade Union-related difficulties have come to an END at Himalmedia.



The LAST act was an agreement signed last week between the representatives of Himalmedia and the agitating Trade Union (Himalmedia chapter). 




As per the agreement, the18 formerly agitating/'andolit' staff members have:



1) cleared up their dues to the company.

2) submitted written letters of resignations.

3) accepted severance packages, and

4) left by wishing the company well.



5) In addition, most are getting advisory help/reference letters from the company to find jobs elsewhere in and

out of Nepal.

Special thanks/gratitude to:

- the Himalmedia Board Members for their guidance,

- the Himalmedia journalists for their help,

- the Himalmedia non-editorial staff members and the existing Himalmedia Staff Union (non-political) leaders for all their support,


 


- and to you, Sajha friends, for your emails, phone calls, words of support, encouraging postings etc 



to put this saga behind us so that, in days ahead, Himalmedia continues to focus on what it does best: 



that is, serve the public by providing fearless, independent and truth-driven news and commentaries.



Thank you.



PS: I am finally taking a vacation -- to rest and relax! :-)
