The Confederation of Newspaper and News Agency Employees Organisations has threatened to go on agitation on Tuesday in protest against the Wage Board meeting journalists and non-journalists separately.

"In the past such meetings were held jointly. It is waste of time and money and an effort to delay (things)," said the leaders of the top body of employees of newspapers and news agencies, in an executive meeting held in New Delhi on Monday.

Confederation general secretary M S Yadav said that all the leaders of the body have rejected the move and are going to meet labour secretary Sudha Pillai on this.

If the meeting with Pillai proves fruitless, 'we would hold demonstration at the wage board office tomorrow", he said.

The executive meeting was attended by Suresh Akhouri of the Indian Journalists Union, Madan Talwar of the All-India Newspaper Employees Federation, N K Trikha and M D Gangwar from the National Union of Journalists (I), M L Joshi from the UNI Workers' Union, and Ajay Kumar Tyagi and Amrit Mohan from the Federation of PTI Employees' Unions, among others.
