JAMMU, May 25 Govt Employees Joint Action Committee (GEJAC) has resolved to stage protest demonstration at all the district headquarters and observe a complete strike on June 9.
Senior trade unionists and GEJAC members Shushil Sudan, Subash Verma, Suresh Sharma, Swarn Singh and Sheikh Zafarullah launched campaign to garner employees support to make strike programme successful. As a part of their campaign, these trade unionists visited Kathua, Billawar, Basohli, Hiranagar and Samba areas and addressed employees groups to seek support. They appealed the employees to observe strike on June 9. They pointed out that their faction of EJAC has nothing to do with the JCC strike programme.
They further pointed out that State Government has proved as anti-worker because despite several representations and even agreements reached, it failed to address the pending demands of the employees. They said the Government must withdraw the conditions for arrears diverted to GP Fund. The pending arrears of 6th Pay Commissions be released without any delay. The Government should provide Pay Commission benefits to all the PSU workers, a decision of daily rated/ consolidated workers should be taken, pay anomalies be removed, retirement age be enhanced from 58 to 60 years and the Medical Allowance be hiked to Rs 1000. They also urged the Government to frame clear policy for the Anganwadi and Asha workers’ regularization.
The GEJAC members appealed to all the employees to participate in June 9 protest programme at their respective district headquarters in the entire State. They said that in Jammu, the protest demonstration will be held at Press Club near Exhibition Ground on the proposed day.
