JAMMU, Nov 8: Joint Consultative Committee (JCC) of State Government employees today announced State wide two-day strike programme on December 14 and 15.
Addressing a joint press conference here today, senior JCC members Mohd Khursheed Alam, Abdul Qayoom Wani and Mohd Gafoor Dar said that State level session of the senior JCC members was held here last evening in which the future course of action was discussed and a consensus reached on the next agitational schedule. It was unanimously decided in three-hour long meeting that two day protest programme will be organized on December 14 and 15.
These leaders strongly condemned the attitude of the State Government and alleged that it has failed to honour its commitment. They said on the agreed issue regarding regularization of ad hoc, daily wage & consolidated workers, removal of pay anomalies, enhancement of retirement age, budgetary support to PSUs etc, no action has been taken by the Government so far. It was just buying time and befooling the employees.

He said the united platform of the JCC is compelled to intensify the agitational programme on December 14-15, 2012.

The JCC leaders issued appeal to all the Rs 4.5 lakh State employees including PSU workers, to up hold the banner of unity and collective struggle and to display full strength for the common cause of working class.
