President of association Dhakal accused the government-owned enterprises, especially Nepal Telecom, NEA and Drinking Water Corporation of violating Labor Act.

President of association Dhakal has accused workers of not even getting the accident insurance they deserve. The union also accused some companies of firing workers instead of fully implementing the Labor Act and Social Security Act-2074 BS.
