The members of the National Inclusion Commission repeatedly expressed that there should be a trade union among the government employees, and the MPs objected.

Haridatta Joshi, a member of the Inclusion Commission, repeatedly emphasized the need to have a trade union of employees in the Sunday meeting of the Public Order and Good Governance Committee under the House of Representatives, which was called to solicit opinions on the constitutional commission on the Civil Service Bill.

Member Joshi reiterated that government employees have the right to organize and it should be regulated by law. He demanded that since Nepal has ratified various treaties of the International Labor Organization, the employees should be allowed to form an organization. Nepal has ratified 11 ILO treaties. It means doing everything including social security . The right to organization should also be kept in this act,' said Joshi, 'as I am a trade union worker, I should also take care of the convention.'

In the future, Joshi said that if there is a proposal from the ILO that the army and the police will be allowed to form trade unions, then provisions can be put in the law to prevent such a thing. . 

Joshi, who was called as a member of the Constitutional Commission, was stopped by the parliamentarians after repeating the demands of the trade union. Committee member Raghuji Pant and committee chairman Ramhari Khatiwada asked to keep the matter of the commission and not of the trade union. "They have kept the trade union matters, you have come from the Commission to keep the matters there," he was instructed .

After a while Joshi said that he was a trade unionist and said that a law should not be made to ban the trade union of employees. "It is the official trade union that does the activity, the trade union cannot be denied," Joshi emphasized.

Then the chairman of the committee Khatiwada asked Joshi, 'Are you from the trade union?'

During the discussion on the Civil Bill, the parliamentarians have been saying that trade unions should not be kept as fraternal organizations of political parties among government employees. It is being debated that in the future, trade unions should not be kept among civil servants, saying that employees are working for political parties by eating government salaries.
