Current Political situation</h4> <ul> <li> Retrogression by the constitutional king after a series of dramatic events on October 4, 2002 as a major turning point of the history of Nepal</li> <li> Already declared General Election postponed with no dates fixed in 2002</li> <li> The demand for all party government with full executive power and restoration of the dissolved parliament&ndash;the major slogan of the joint movement declared by the five major political parties of the dissolved parliament actually representing 84% of the peoples votes.</li> </ul> <ul> <li> From May 4, 2003, the Joint peoples&#39; movement started under five major political parties CPN-UML, NC, PF, NWPP and NSP</li> <li> Major objective of the Joint Peoples&#39; Movement was to protect the rights from the attack of the ultra left violence and rightist retrogression</li> <li> The movement of the five political parties became more popular and king dissolved the cabinet under SB Thapa and asked the agitating political parties to give the consensus name for the post of PM in April 2004.</li> <li> Parties could not give a consensus and hence a new coalition took the shape.</li> <li> CPN-UML, NC Democratic, RPP and NSP joined hands in order to lead the country to the point of pre-regression. and supported Sher Bahdur Deuba who was formerly kicked out by the king.</li> <li> Thus in May 2004, king came to negotiate and appointed Deuba as the Prime Minister and coalition government came into existence. NC and three other small parties are in the street</li> <li> Peace talks with Maoists as the major agenda of the government could not become successful.</li> <li> In February1, 2006, King grabed the power through mobilization of Royal nepal army and started his direct rule.</li> <li> Political parties tried to negotiate with the king even though they were in street against king&#39;s unconstitutional autocratic move, but king tried to stabilise his autocracy in the name of maoist terrorism</li> <li> King took side against peace and tried to go in a useless military solution working against all democratic norms negating the multiparty system in practice</li> <li> Frustrated from the king&#39;s ambitious go ahead, seven political party Alliance started to talk with Maoists and after a long exercise of more than 7 months, successful negotiation with maoists in the form of 12 point understanding in Decenber 2005 could be reached to restore democracy and peace in the country.</li> <li> From the beginning of the year 2006, the political environment of Nepal had been dominated by heavy tousle between King and mainstream political parties. The movement being launched by the seven party alliance&nbsp; started to gain momentum and and suppression from the side of autocracy became more and more cruel.</li> <li> The autocratic king moved on to hold the so called municipality election on February 8. Seven Party Alliance declared general strike and grand peaceful demonstration to be staged on January 20 and urged to people to come to the street. Arrests and brutal suppression became daily routine.</li> <li> The municipal election was a total failure caused by the successfull boycott of the people. Even by casting fake votes as there was no one to oppose in the polling centers, the regime with its total efforts could cast lower than 20 % of the votes.</li> <li> The 12-point understanding between mainstream political parties and CPN-Maoist developed after series of informal talks was welcomed by the People. People took it as the real road-map for the solution of Maoist problem as well as for the end of absolute monarchy. This could give a significant hope among the people. Therefore, the movement of SPA gained momentum and participation became more and more effective.</li> <li> During this period, the international support to restore democracy, press freedom and release of political detainees has been highly significant. Human Right monitoring office of UN has played a very important role during this period.</li> <li> April 2006 in the history of Nepal has proved to be big turning point.&nbsp; The political environment of Nepal came to a decisive point with extreme tousle between King and mainstream political parties. The movement being launched by the seven party alliance gained incomparably high momentum and suppression from the side of king&#39;s autocracy became cruel at its extreme.</li> <li> With increasing flow of people in the movement, arrests and injuries were maximum never witnessed in the history. The entire nation came into the street. From April 6, the movement in the form of general strike started for 4 days as declared in the beginning. Later on with nationwide success and heroic encounter by the armless people with suppressive royal force, the general strike became a routine for every coming day. This continued for 19 days. During these 19 days maximum mobilization of people was 8 millions in a single day on April 22. In Kathmandu during April 15 -22, half a million people came in the street everyday defying the curfew. The whole nation was under curfew but everyday people defied curfew. Because of incomparable mass mobilization, security force finally became frustrated with the king and only on &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 19<sup>th</sup>day,the autocratic king surrendered. He accepted the roadmap of seven party alliance in his formal declaration and reinstated the parliament to go ahead for peace and full democracy. New SPA government came to work in the democratic environment.</li> <li> The reinstated parliament declared many things, among them is the election of Constituent Assembly and formation of new inclusive constitution. For this the seven party alliance government has appealed the Maoists to join the interim government. Dialogue with Maoists is in progress. Maoists are now in open and both way cease-fire has been declared. Terrorist tag and red corner notice against Maoists has been canceled. Though there a number of confusions and dilemas/disputes, positive and hopeful situation is gradually developing.</li> <li> Based on 12-point understanding between mainstream seven party alliance and CPN-Maoist, new 8 point understanding is also conducted. Now the issue of management of arms is at height and UN has been formally invited to cooperate on this issue.</li> <li> At present, Nepali sky is fully surrounded by achievements, hopes and confusions. People are happy, but confused whether this peace will be permanent or not.</li> <li> Now the politics and so the entire nation has entered into a very complicated process of negotiation with Maoists basically on the management of arms, modality for constituent assembly and model of restructuring of Nepali state. SPA government is in power, but with consensus on management of arms, new interim government with involvement of Maoists will have to be formed.</li> </ul> <p style="margin-left:.5in;"> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <h2> 2.

Generally, females draw low wage compared to their male counterpart for the same volume and type of work. Besides gender discrimination, the construction workers are also equally discriminated on the basis of their origin - workers from Terai origin known as <em>Madhesi</em> (either from any parts of Nepal or from India) and from the hill origin as <em>Pahade</em>.</p> <p> Generally the <em>Madhesi</em> workers are abused verbally by most of the <em>Pahade </em>employers. Mostly they are humiliated in every work place. The wage rate is comparatively low than the <em>Pahade</em> workers in all types of work though they work more than normal working hours. Delay in payment is another discrimination being faced by the <em>Madhesi</em> workers. There are few incidents, where the <em>Pahade</em> has been harassed similar way in the construction site owned or managed by Terai origin people.</p> <h3> Unions at work</h3> <h3> &nbsp;</h3> <h3> The violent conflict has naturally affected the whole economic &amp; business environment causing slackness even in the construction industry. However, union work is continuous and union activities have been expanding in construction sector in spite of all these difficulties. If the problems will be solved and permanent peace is restored, then union work as we hope will take new heights and speed.</h3> <p> At present owing to increased unemployment, construction sector is also affected. However, because of the physical destruction through explosives by Maoists, scope and necessity of additional constructions and maintenance-renovation work is highly increasing. As the infrastructures developed within the past years have been damaged by the Maoists, reconstruction is highly required, which will generate heavy employment opportunities in future.</p> <p> Women workers&#39; situation does not seem to improve immediately as there exist unemployment and slackness of construction industry. Construction through MNCs is not high in Nepal and there are no new mega Construction project at present.</p> <p> Thus in a difficult political and economic situation, CUPPEC-Nepal is working as the biggest trade union of the construction industry. Other two federations CAWUN and NBCWU are also working. BWI affiliates committee has organized grand interaction, workshop and seminar on social protection of workers in construction industry. Proceedings have been published. Joint rallies have been organized. Lobbying and campaigning for social protection has gained momentum this year.</p> <p> Additionally, CUPPEC Nepal has also organized a number of activities on social protection in grass-root level. Mobile health camps as a part of health protection campaign and counseling have been conducted. Saving Fund for its members have been introduced by CUPPEC.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p> Looking back to the early days, Unionisation of workers in the construction sector started in 1970s while the government was constructing <strong>East-West High way. </strong>Some 25,000 workers of East-West High way had launched general strike demanding immediate settlement of their grievances, which later helped to strengthen newly launched National Federation-<strong>NIWU</strong>- Nepal Independent Workers Union.</p> <p> In post-1990 periods, unionization became very fast in construction. In the beginning painters, plumbers, electro-workers and workers in carpentry &amp; general construction were in NIWU. With the realization of the need of separate union, Central union of plumbers, painters, electro &amp; construction workers of Nepal (CUPPEC- Nepal) came into existence.</p> <p> The CUPPEC is working since 1991 (renamed as CUPPEC after amalgamation of three federations in1997) and has unionised 56,228 workers. Adding the unionized number estimated in the fold of all other unions of various small sizes, roughly 135,000 construction workers are union member in different parts of the country.</p> <p> Based on CUPPEC estimates, nearly 1,050,000 workers are involved in construction work all over the country, which shows only 12.85 percent workers are unionized.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin-left:28.05pt;"> Problems Faced by the Construction Workers</p> <p> Majority of workers are not getting wage in time.&nbsp; Their sickness is ignored and leave is denied. Their labour is undocumented even if the employer fails to supply necessary materials and equipment in time. Job security is major problem in this industry. No written agreement between workers and employer is entertained.</p> <p> Above all there are multiple problems the workers in construction industry facing. Table below reveals few major problems.</p> <p> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Table-11: Type of Problem Faced by the Workers</p> <table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td nowrap="nowrap" style="width:337px;height:15px;"> <p style="margin-left:6.7pt;"> <strong>Problems</strong></p> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" style="width:148px;height:15px;"> <p align="center" style="margin-left:6.7pt;"> <strong>In percentage</strong></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td nowrap="nowrap" style="width:337px;height:15px;"> <h6> Main Contractor</h6> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" style="width:148px;height:15px;"> <p align="center" style="margin-left:6.7pt;"> &nbsp;</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td nowrap="nowrap" style="width:337px;height:15px;"> <p style="margin-left:6.7pt;"> Non-availability of wage in time</p> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" style="width:148px;height:15px;"> <p align="center" style="margin-left:6.7pt;"> 86.7</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td nowrap="nowrap" style="width:337px;height:15px;"> <p style="margin-left:6.7pt;"> No agreement of work</p> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" style="width:148px;height:15px;"> <p align="center" style="margin-left:6.7pt;"> 4.4</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td nowrap="nowrap" style="width:337px;height:15px;"> <p style="margin-left:6.7pt;"> Non-availability of goods/equipment in time</p> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" style="width:148px;height:15px;"> <p align="center" style="margin-left:6.7pt;"> 2.2</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td nowrap="nowrap" style="width:337px;height:15px;"> <p style="margin-left:6.7pt;"> No attendance card</p> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" style="width:148px;height:15px;"> <p align="center" style="margin-left:6.7pt;"> 4.4</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td nowrap="nowrap" style="width:337px;height:15px;"> <p style="margin-left:6.7pt;"> Fire of workers</p> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" style="width:148px;height:15px;"> <p align="center" style="margin-left:6.7pt;"> 2.2</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td nowrap="nowrap" style="width:337px;height:15px;"> <h6> Petty Contractor</h6> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" style="width:148px;height:15px;"> <p align="center" style="margin-left:6.7pt;"> &nbsp;</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td nowrap="nowrap" style="width:337px;height:15px;"> <p style="margin-left:6.7pt;"> Non-availability of wage in time</p> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" style="width:148px;height:15px;"> <p align="center" style="margin-left:6.7pt;"> 86.1</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td nowrap="nowrap" style="width:337px;height:15px;"> <p style="margin-left:6.7pt;"> No agreement of work</p> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" style="width:148px;height:15px;"> <p align="center" style="margin-left:6.7pt;"> 5.6</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td nowrap="nowrap" style="width:337px;height:15px;"> <p style="margin-left:6.7pt;"> Fire of workers</p> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" style="width:148px;height:15px;"> <p align="center" style="margin-left:6.7pt;"> 2.8</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td nowrap="nowrap" style="width:337px;height:15px;"> <p style="margin-left:6.7pt;"> Non-availability of goods/equipment in time</p> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" style="width:148px;height:15px;"> <p align="center" style="margin-left:6.7pt;"> 2.8</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td nowrap="nowrap" style="width:337px;height:15px;"> <p style="margin-left:6.7pt;"> No attendance card</p> </td> <td nowrap="nowrap" style="width:148px;height:15px;"> <p align="center" style="margin-left:6.7pt;"> 2.8</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <div style="clear:both;"> &nbsp;</div> <p> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Source: <em>cuppec</em> Survey, 2004</p> <p> The minimum wage/remuneration fixed by the government covers formal manufacturing sector, agriculture and tea estate.

NC and three other small parties are in the street</li> <li> Peace talks with Maoists as the major agenda of the government could not become successful.</li> <li> In February1, 2006, King grabed the power through mobilization of Royal nepal army and started his direct rule.</li> <li> Political parties tried to negotiate with the king even though they were in street against king&#39;s unconstitutional autocratic move, but king tried to stabilise his autocracy in the name of maoist terrorism</li> <li> King took side against peace and tried to go in a useless military solution working against all democratic norms negating the multiparty system in practice</li> <li> Frustrated from the king&#39;s ambitious go ahead, seven political party Alliance started to talk with Maoists and after a long exercise of more than 7 months, successful negotiation with maoists in the form of 12 point understanding in Decenber 2005 could be reached to restore democracy and peace in the country.</li> <li> From the beginning of the year 2006, the political environment of Nepal had been dominated by heavy tousle between King and mainstream political parties. The movement being launched by the seven party alliance&nbsp; started to gain momentum and and suppression from the side of autocracy became more and more cruel.</li> <li> The autocratic king moved on to hold the so called municipality election on February 8. Seven Party Alliance declared general strike and grand peaceful demonstration to be staged on January 20 and urged to people to come to the street. Arrests and brutal suppression became daily routine.</li> <li> The municipal election was a total failure caused by the successfull boycott of the people. Even by casting fake votes as there was no one to oppose in the polling centers, the regime with its total efforts could cast lower than 20 % of the votes.</li> <li> The 12-point understanding between mainstream political parties and CPN-Maoist developed after series of informal talks was welcomed by the People. People took it as the real road-map for the solution of Maoist problem as well as for the end of absolute monarchy. This could give a significant hope among the people. Therefore, the movement of SPA gained momentum and participation became more and more effective.</li> <li> During this period, the international support to restore democracy, press freedom and release of political detainees has been highly significant. Human Right monitoring office of UN has played a very important role during this period.</li> <li> April 2006 in the history of Nepal has proved to be big turning point.&nbsp; The political environment of Nepal came to a decisive point with extreme tousle between King and mainstream political parties. The movement being launched by the seven party alliance gained incomparably high momentum and suppression from the side of king&#39;s autocracy became cruel at its extreme.</li> <li> With increasing flow of people in the movement, arrests and injuries were maximum never witnessed in the history. The entire nation came into the street. From April 6, the movement in the form of general strike started for 4 days as declared in the beginning. Later on with nationwide success and heroic encounter by the armless people with suppressive royal force, the general strike became a routine for every coming day. This continued for 19 days. During these 19 days maximum mobilization of people was 8 millions in a single day on April 22. In Kathmandu during April 15 -22, half a million people came in the street everyday defying the curfew. The whole nation was under curfew but everyday people defied curfew. Because of incomparable mass mobilization, security force finally became frustrated with the king and only on &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 19<sup>th</sup>day,the autocratic king surrendered. He accepted the roadmap of seven party alliance in his formal declaration and reinstated the parliament to go ahead for peace and full democracy. New SPA government came to work in the democratic environment.</li> <li> The reinstated parliament declared many things, among them is the election of Constituent Assembly and formation of new inclusive constitution. For this the seven party alliance government has appealed the Maoists to join the interim government. Dialogue with Maoists is in progress. Maoists are now in open and both way cease-fire has been declared. Terrorist tag and red corner notice against Maoists has been canceled. Though there a number of confusions and dilemas/disputes, positive and hopeful situation is gradually developing.</li> <li> Based on 12-point understanding between mainstream seven party alliance and CPN-Maoist, new 8 point understanding is also conducted. Now the issue of management of arms is at height and UN has been formally invited to cooperate on this issue.</li> <li> At present, Nepali sky is fully surrounded by achievements, hopes and confusions. People are happy, but confused whether this peace will be permanent or not.</li> <li> Now the politics and so the entire nation has entered into a very complicated process of negotiation with Maoists basically on the management of arms, modality for constituent assembly and model of restructuring of Nepali state. SPA government is in power, but with consensus on management of arms, new interim government with involvement of Maoists will have to be formed.</li> </ul> <p style="margin-left:.5in;"> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <h2> 2.

Generally, females draw low wage compared to their male counterpart for the same volume and type of work. Besides gender discrimination, the construction workers are also equally discriminated on the basis of their origin - workers from Terai origin known as <em>Madhesi</em> (either from any parts of Nepal or from India) and from the hill origin as <em>Pahade</em>.</p> <p> Generally the <em>Madhesi</em> workers are abused verbally by most of the <em>Pahade </em>employers. Mostly they are humiliated in every work place. The wage rate is comparatively low than the <em>Pahade</em> workers in all types of work though they work more than normal working hours. Delay in payment is another discrimination being faced by the <em>Madhesi</em> workers. There are few incidents, where the <em>Pahade</em> has been harassed similar way in the construction site owned or managed by Terai origin people.</p> <h3> Unions at work</h3> <h3> &nbsp;</h3> <h3> The violent conflict has naturally affected the whole economic &amp; business environment causing slackness even in the construction industry. However, union work is continuous and union activities have been expanding in construction sector in spite of all these difficulties. If the problems will be solved and permanent peace is restored, then union work as we hope will take new heights and speed.</h3> <p> At present owing to increased unemployment, construction sector is also affected. However, because of the physical destruction through explosives by Maoists, scope and necessity of additional constructions and maintenance-renovation work is highly increasing. As the infrastructures developed within the past years have been damaged by the Maoists, reconstruction is highly required, which will generate heavy employment opportunities in future.</p> <p> Women workers&#39; situation does not seem to improve immediately as there exist unemployment and slackness of construction industry. Construction through MNCs is not high in Nepal and there are no new mega Construction project at present.</p> <p> Thus in a difficult political and economic situation, CUPPEC-Nepal is working as the biggest trade union of the construction industry. Other two federations CAWUN and NBCWU are also working. BWI affiliates committee has organized grand interaction, workshop and seminar on social protection of workers in construction industry. Proceedings have been published. Joint rallies have been organized. Lobbying and campaigning for social protection has gained momentum this year.</p> <p> Additionally, CUPPEC Nepal has also organized a number of activities on social protection in grass-root level. Mobile health camps as a part of health protection campaign and counseling have been conducted. Saving Fund for its members have been introduced by CUPPEC.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p> Looking back to the early days, Unionisation of workers in the construction sector started in 1970s while the government was constructing <strong>East-West High way. </strong>Some 25,000 workers of East-West High way had launched general strike demanding immediate settlement of their grievances, which later helped to strengthen newly launched National Federation-<strong>NIWU</strong>- Nepal Independent Workers Union.</p> <p> In post-1990 periods, unionization became very fast in construction. In the beginning painters, plumbers, electro-workers and workers in carpentry &amp; general construction were in NIWU. With the realization of the need of separate union, Central union of plumbers, painters, electro &amp; construction workers of Nepal (CUPPEC- Nepal) came into existence.</p> <p> The CUPPEC is working since 1991 (renamed as CUPPEC after amalgamation of three federations in1997) and has unionised 56,228 workers. Adding the unionized number estimated in the fold of all other unions of various small sizes, roughly 135,000 construction workers are union member in different parts of the country.</p> <p> Based on CUPPEC estimates, nearly 1,050,000 workers are involved in construction work all over the country, which shows only 12.85 percent workers are unionized.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin-left:28.05pt;"> Problems Faced by the Construction Workers</p> <p> Majority of workers are not getting wage in time.&nbsp; Their sickness is ignored and leave is denied. Their labour is undocumented even if the employer fails to supply necessary materials and equipment in time. Job security is major problem in this industry. No written agreement between workers and employer is entertained.</p> <p> Above all there are multiple problems the workers in construction industry facing.

Current Political situation</h4> <ul> <li> Retrogression by the constitutional king after a series of dramatic events on October 4, 2002 as a major turning point of the history of Nepal</li> <li> Already declared General Election postponed with no dates fixed in 2002</li> <li> The demand for all party government with full executive power and restoration of the dissolved parliament–the major slogan of the joint movement declared by the five major political parties of the dissolved parliament actually representing 84% of the peoples votes.</li> </ul> <ul> <li> From May 4, 2003, the Joint peoples' movement started under five major political parties CPN-UML, NC, PF, NWPP and NSP</li> <li> Major objective of the Joint Peoples' Movement was to protect the rights from the attack of the ultra left violence and rightist retrogression</li> <li> The movement of the five political parties became more popular and king dissolved the cabinet under SB Thapa and asked the agitating political parties to give the consensus name for the post of PM in April 2004.</li> <li> Parties could not give a consensus and hence a new coalition took the shape.</li> <li> CPN-UML, NC Democratic, RPP and NSP joined hands in order to lead the country to the point of pre-regression. and supported Sher Bahdur Deuba who was formerly kicked out by the king.</li> <li> Thus in May 2004, king came to negotiate and appointed Deuba as the Prime Minister and coalition government came into existence. NC and three other small parties are in the street</li> <li> Peace talks with Maoists as the major agenda of the government could not become successful.</li> <li> In February1, 2006, King grabed the power through mobilization of Royal nepal army and started his direct rule.</li> <li> Political parties tried to negotiate with the king even though they were in street against king's unconstitutional autocratic move, but king tried to stabilise his autocracy in the name of maoist terrorism</li> <li> King took side against peace and tried to go in a useless military solution working against all democratic norms negating the multiparty system in practice</li> <li> Frustrated from the king's ambitious go ahead, seven political party Alliance started to talk with Maoists and after a long exercise of more than 7 months, successful negotiation with maoists in the form of 12 point understanding in Decenber 2005 could be reached to restore democracy and peace in the country.</li> <li> From the beginning of the year 2006, the political environment of Nepal had been dominated by heavy tousle between King and mainstream political parties. The movement being launched by the seven party alliance started to gain momentum and and suppression from the side of autocracy became more and more cruel.</li> <li> The autocratic king moved on to hold the so called municipality election on February 8. Seven Party Alliance declared general strike and grand peaceful demonstration to be staged on January 20 and urged to people to come to the street. Arrests and brutal suppression became daily routine.</li> <li> The municipal election was a total failure caused by the successfull boycott of the people. Even by casting fake votes as there was no one to oppose in the polling centers, the regime with its total efforts could cast lower than 20 % of the votes.</li> <li> The 12-point understanding between mainstream political parties and CPN-Maoist developed after series of informal talks was welcomed by the People. People took it as the real road-map for the solution of Maoist problem as well as for the end of absolute monarchy. This could give a significant hope among the people. Therefore, the movement of SPA gained momentum and participation became more and more effective.</li> <li> During this period, the international support to restore democracy, press freedom and release of political detainees has been highly significant. Human Right monitoring office of UN has played a very important role during this period.</li> <li> April 2006 in the history of Nepal has proved to be big turning point. The political environment of Nepal came to a decisive point with extreme tousle between King and mainstream political parties. The movement being launched by the seven party alliance gained incomparably high momentum and suppression from the side of king's autocracy became cruel at its extreme.</li> <li> With increasing flow of people in the movement, arrests and injuries were maximum never witnessed in the history. The entire nation came into the street. From April 6, the movement in the form of general strike started for 4 days as declared in the beginning. Later on with nationwide success and heroic encounter by the armless people with suppressive royal force, the general strike became a routine for every coming day. This continued for 19 days. During these 19 days maximum mobilization of people was 8 millions in a single day on April 22. In Kathmandu during April 15 -22, half a million people came in the street everyday defying the curfew. The whole nation was under curfew but everyday people defied curfew. Because of incomparable mass mobilization, security force finally became frustrated with the king and only on 19<sup>th</sup>day,the autocratic king surrendered. He accepted the roadmap of seven party alliance in his formal declaration and reinstated the parliament to go ahead for peace and full democracy. New SPA government came to work in the democratic environment.</li> <li> The reinstated parliament declared many things, among them is the election of Constituent Assembly and formation of new inclusive constitution. For this the seven party alliance government has appealed the Maoists to join the interim government. Dialogue with Maoists is in progress. Maoists are now in open and both way cease-fire has been declared. Terrorist tag and red corner notice against Maoists has been canceled. Though there a number of confusions and dilemas/disputes, positive and hopeful situation is gradually developing.</li> <li> Based on 12-point understanding between mainstream seven party alliance and CPN-Maoist, new 8 point understanding is also conducted. Now the issue of management of arms is at height and UN has been formally invited to cooperate on this issue.</li> <li> At present, Nepali sky is fully surrounded by achievements, hopes and confusions. People are happy, but confused whether this peace will be permanent or not.</li> <li> Now the politics and so the entire nation has entered into a very complicated process of negotiation with Maoists basically on the management of arms, modality for constituent assembly and model of restructuring of Nepali state. SPA government is in power, but with consensus on management of arms, new interim government with involvement of Maoists will have to be formed.</li> </ul> <p style="margin-left:.5in;"> </p> <h2> 2.

About 10 percent construction workers in Kathmandu are involved in other activities as a secondary occupation like street-vendor, newspaper-hawkers, and casual workers known as<em> kulli- kawadi</em>, where local workers can be found engage in farm related occupation in morning and evening time. On an average an unskilled worker could draw about NRs 2470 per month where skilled worker earn NRs 4400 at the same time. In this sector, one working have to support up to 5 non-working family members.</p> <p> Table 7: Percentage of Wage Earners in Construction Industry</p> <table align="center" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width:253px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> Area/particulars</p> </td> <td style="width:192px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> Construction workers among total</p> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> Non-agricultural</p> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> Workers</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width:253px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> Nepal</p> </td> <td style="width:192px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> 35.3</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width:253px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> Male</p> </td> <td style="width:192px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> 37.4</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width:253px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> Female</p> </td> <td style="width:192px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> 23.1</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width:253px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> Eastern Development Region</p> </td> <td style="width:192px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> 36.8</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width:253px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> Central Development Region</p> </td> <td style="width:192px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> 26.6</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width:253px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> Western Development Region</p> </td> <td style="width:192px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> 38.5</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width:253px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> Mid-west Development Region</p> </td> <td style="width:192px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> 50.3</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width:253px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> Far-west Development Region</p> </td> <td style="width:192px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> 47.3</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width:253px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> Mountain</p> </td> <td style="width:192px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> 39.9</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width:253px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> Hill</p> </td> <td style="width:192px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> 30.9</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width:253px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> Terai</p> </td> <td style="width:192px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> 39.2</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width:253px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> Rural</p> </td> <td style="width:192px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> 41.4</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width:253px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> Urban</p> </td> <td style="width:192px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> 17.7</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width:253px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> Poorest</p> </td> <td style="width:192px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> 53.7</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width:253px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> Richest</p> </td> <td style="width:192px;"> <p style="margin-left:9.05pt;"> 12.2</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <p> <em> Source: NLSS 2003/04, CBS, Kathmandu</em></p> <h5> The monthly per capita earnings of the employee in construction sector are far below than the average earnings of the workers in other sector.

Generally, females draw low wage compared to their male counterpart for the same volume and type of work. Besides gender discrimination, the construction workers are also equally discriminated on the basis of their origin - workers from Terai origin known as <em>Madhesi</em> (either from any parts of Nepal or from India) and from the hill origin as <em>Pahade</em>.</p> <p> Generally the <em>Madhesi</em> workers are abused verbally by most of the <em>Pahade </em>employers. Mostly they are humiliated in every work place. The wage rate is comparatively low than the <em>Pahade</em> workers in all types of work though they work more than normal working hours. Delay in payment is another discrimination being faced by the <em>Madhesi</em> workers. There are few incidents, where the <em>Pahade</em> has been harassed similar way in the construction site owned or managed by Terai origin people.</p> <h3> Unions at work</h3> <h3> </h3> <h3> The violent conflict has naturally affected the whole economic & business environment causing slackness even in the construction industry. However, union work is continuous and union activities have been expanding in construction sector in spite of all these difficulties. If the problems will be solved and permanent peace is restored, then union work as we hope will take new heights and speed.</h3> <p> At present owing to increased unemployment, construction sector is also affected. However, because of the physical destruction through explosives by Maoists, scope and necessity of additional constructions and maintenance-renovation work is highly increasing. As the infrastructures developed within the past years have been damaged by the Maoists, reconstruction is highly required, which will generate heavy employment opportunities in future.</p> <p> Women workers' situation does not seem to improve immediately as there exist unemployment and slackness of construction industry. Construction through MNCs is not high in Nepal and there are no new mega Construction project at present.</p> <p> Thus in a difficult political and economic situation, CUPPEC-Nepal is working as the biggest trade union of the construction industry. Other two federations CAWUN and NBCWU are also working. BWI affiliates committee has organized grand interaction, workshop and seminar on social protection of workers in construction industry. Proceedings have been published. Joint rallies have been organized. Lobbying and campaigning for social protection has gained momentum this year.</p> <p> Additionally, CUPPEC Nepal has also organized a number of activities on social protection in grass-root level. Mobile health camps as a part of health protection campaign and counseling have been conducted. Saving Fund for its members have been introduced by CUPPEC. </p> <p> Looking back to the early days, Unionisation of workers in the construction sector started in 1970s while the government was constructing <strong>East-West High way. </strong>Some 25,000 workers of East-West High way had launched general strike demanding immediate settlement of their grievances, which later helped to strengthen newly launched National Federation-<strong>NIWU</strong>- Nepal Independent Workers Union.</p> <p> In post-1990 periods, unionization became very fast in construction. In the beginning painters, plumbers, electro-workers and workers in carpentry & general construction were in NIWU. With the realization of the need of separate union, Central union of plumbers, painters, electro & construction workers of Nepal (CUPPEC- Nepal) came into existence.</p> <p> The CUPPEC is working since 1991 (renamed as CUPPEC after amalgamation of three federations in1997) and has unionised 56,228 workers. Adding the unionized number estimated in the fold of all other unions of various small sizes, roughly 135,000 construction workers are union member in different parts of the country.</p> <p> Based on CUPPEC estimates, nearly 1,050,000 workers are involved in construction work all over the country, which shows only 12.85 percent workers are unionized. </p> <p style="margin-left:28.05pt;"> Problems Faced by the Construction Workers</p> <p> Majority of workers are not getting wage in time. Their sickness is ignored and leave is denied. Their labour is undocumented even if the employer fails to supply necessary materials and equipment in time. Job security is major problem in this industry. No written agreement between workers and employer is entertained.</p> <p> Above all there are multiple problems the workers in construction industry facing.

Current Political situation</h4> <ul> <li> Retrogression by the constitutional king after a series of dramatic events on October 4, 2002 as a major turning point of the history of Nepal</li> <li> Already declared General Election postponed with no dates fixed in 2002</li> <li> The demand for all party government with full executive power and restoration of the dissolved parliament–the major slogan of the joint movement declared by the five major political parties of the dissolved parliament actually representing 84% of the peoples votes.</li> </ul> <ul> <li> From May 4, 2003, the Joint peoples' movement started under five major political parties CPN-UML, NC, PF, NWPP and NSP</li> <li> Major objective of the Joint Peoples' Movement was to protect the rights from the attack of the ultra left violence and rightist retrogression</li> <li> The movement of the five political parties became more popular and king dissolved the cabinet under SB Thapa and asked the agitating political parties to give the consensus name for the post of PM in April 2004.</li> <li> Parties could not give a consensus and hence a new coalition took the shape.</li> <li> CPN-UML, NC Democratic, RPP and NSP joined hands in order to lead the country to the point of pre-regression. and supported Sher Bahdur Deuba who was formerly kicked out by the king.</li> <li> Thus in May 2004, king came to negotiate and appointed Deuba as the Prime Minister and coalition government came into existence. NC and three other small parties are in the street</li> <li> Peace talks with Maoists as the major agenda of the government could not become successful.</li> <li> In February1, 2006, King grabed the power through mobilization of Royal nepal army and started his direct rule.</li> <li> Political parties tried to negotiate with the king even though they were in street against king's unconstitutional autocratic move, but king tried to stabilise his autocracy in the name of maoist terrorism</li> <li> King took side against peace and tried to go in a useless military solution working against all democratic norms negating the multiparty system in practice</li> <li> Frustrated from the king's ambitious go ahead, seven political party Alliance started to talk with Maoists and after a long exercise of more than 7 months, successful negotiation with maoists in the form of 12 point understanding in Decenber 2005 could be reached to restore democracy and peace in the country.</li> <li> From the beginning of the year 2006, the political environment of Nepal had been dominated by heavy tousle between King and mainstream political parties. The movement being launched by the seven party alliance started to gain momentum and and suppression from the side of autocracy became more and more cruel.</li> <li> The autocratic king moved on to hold the so called municipality election on February 8. Seven Party Alliance declared general strike and grand peaceful demonstration to be staged on January 20 and urged to people to come to the street. Arrests and brutal suppression became daily routine.</li> <li> The municipal election was a total failure caused by the successfull boycott of the people. Even by casting fake votes as there was no one to oppose in the polling centers, the regime with its total efforts could cast lower than 20 % of the votes.</li> <li> The 12-point understanding between mainstream political parties and CPN-Maoist developed after series of informal talks was welcomed by the People. People took it as the real road-map for the solution of Maoist problem as well as for the end of absolute monarchy. This could give a significant hope among the people. Therefore, the movement of SPA gained momentum and participation became more and more effective.</li> <li> During this period, the international support to restore democracy, press freedom and release of political detainees has been highly significant. Human Right monitoring office of UN has played a very important role during this period.</li> <li> April 2006 in the history of Nepal has proved to be big turning point. The political environment of Nepal came to a decisive point with extreme tousle between King and mainstream political parties. The movement being launched by the seven party alliance gained incomparably high momentum and suppression from the side of king's autocracy became cruel at its extreme.</li> <li> With increasing flow of people in the movement, arrests and injuries were maximum never witnessed in the history. The entire nation came into the street. From April 6, the movement in the form of general strike started for 4 days as declared in the beginning. Later on with nationwide success and heroic encounter by the armless people with suppressive royal force, the general strike became a routine for every coming day. This continued for 19 days. During these 19 days maximum mobilization of people was 8 millions in a single day on April 22. In Kathmandu during April 15 -22, half a million people came in the street everyday defying the curfew. The whole nation was under curfew but everyday people defied curfew. Because of incomparable mass mobilization, security force finally became frustrated with the king and only on 19<sup>th</sup>day,the autocratic king surrendered. He accepted the roadmap of seven party alliance in his formal declaration and reinstated the parliament to go ahead for peace and full democracy. New SPA government came to work in the democratic environment.</li> <li> The reinstated parliament declared many things, among them is the election of Constituent Assembly and formation of new inclusive constitution. For this the seven party alliance government has appealed the Maoists to join the interim government. Dialogue with Maoists is in progress. Maoists are now in open and both way cease-fire has been declared. Terrorist tag and red corner notice against Maoists has been canceled. Though there a number of confusions and dilemas/disputes, positive and hopeful situation is gradually developing.</li> <li> Based on 12-point understanding between mainstream seven party alliance and CPN-Maoist, new 8 point understanding is also conducted. Now the issue of management of arms is at height and UN has been formally invited to cooperate on this issue.</li> <li> At present, Nepali sky is fully surrounded by achievements, hopes and confusions.

Generally, females draw low wage compared to their male counterpart for the same volume and type of work. Besides gender discrimination, the construction workers are also equally discriminated on the basis of their origin - workers from Terai origin known as <em>Madhesi</em> (either from any parts of Nepal or from India) and from the hill origin as <em>Pahade</em>.</p> <p> Generally the <em>Madhesi</em> workers are abused verbally by most of the <em>Pahade </em>employers. Mostly they are humiliated in every work place. The wage rate is comparatively low than the <em>Pahade</em> workers in all types of work though they work more than normal working hours. Delay in payment is another discrimination being faced by the <em>Madhesi</em> workers. There are few incidents, where the <em>Pahade</em> has been harassed similar way in the construction site owned or managed by Terai origin people.</p> <h3> Unions at work</h3> <h3> </h3> <h3> The violent conflict has naturally affected the whole economic & business environment causing slackness even in the construction industry. However, union work is continuous and union activities have been expanding in construction sector in spite of all these difficulties. If the problems will be solved and permanent peace is restored, then union work as we hope will take new heights and speed.</h3> <p> At present owing to increased unemployment, construction sector is also affected. However, because of the physical destruction through explosives by Maoists, scope and necessity of additional constructions and maintenance-renovation work is highly increasing. As the infrastructures developed within the past years have been damaged by the Maoists, reconstruction is highly required, which will generate heavy employment opportunities in future.</p> <p> Women workers' situation does not seem to improve immediately as there exist unemployment and slackness of construction industry. Construction through MNCs is not high in Nepal and there are no new mega Construction project at present.</p> <p> Thus in a difficult political and economic situation, CUPPEC-Nepal is working as the biggest trade union of the construction industry. Other two federations CAWUN and NBCWU are also working. BWI affiliates committee has organized grand interaction, workshop and seminar on social protection of workers in construction industry. Proceedings have been published. Joint rallies have been organized. Lobbying and campaigning for social protection has gained momentum this year.</p> <p> Additionally, CUPPEC Nepal has also organized a number of activities on social protection in grass-root level. Mobile health camps as a part of health protection campaign and counseling have been conducted. Saving Fund for its members have been introduced by CUPPEC. </p> <p> Looking back to the early days, Unionisation of workers in the construction sector started in 1970s while the government was constructing <strong>East-West High way. </strong>Some 25,000 workers of East-West High way had launched general strike demanding immediate settlement of their grievances, which later helped to strengthen newly launched National Federation-<strong>NIWU</strong>- Nepal Independent Workers Union.</p> <p> In post-1990 periods, unionization became very fast in construction. In the beginning painters, plumbers, electro-workers and workers in carpentry & general construction were in NIWU. With the realization of the need of separate union, Central union of plumbers, painters, electro & construction workers of Nepal (CUPPEC- Nepal) came into existence.</p> <p> The CUPPEC is working since 1991 (renamed as CUPPEC after amalgamation of three federations in1997) and has unionised 56,228 workers.
