JAMMU, July 27: A delegation of executive body of SGEJAC led by its senior leaders Subhash Verma, Sushil Sudan and Suresh Sharma met the Dy Chief Minister Dr Nirmal Singh here today.
The delegation discussed various burning problems of the employees and workers of the State which are pending since long. They apprised him that employees had lot of expectations from the new Coalition Government and have given enough time to the new dispensation for solving pending issues of the employees but nothing has been done so far.
They claimed that trade unions extended cooperation and gave breathing time to the new Govt but cooperation by SGEJAC may not be construed as its weakness. The Government should immediately take cognizance of the demands and take immediate measures to redress them.
The Dy CM gave patient hearing to the delegation and listened their demands assuring that immediate positive action will be taken after discussion with Chief Minister at Srinagar. The leaders also urged upon the Dy CM that in order to avoid any misunderstanding between the SGEJAC and the Govt, let Joint Consultative Mechanism be revived. The leaders however, hailed the decision of the Government for child care leave at par with the Central employees.
The major demands discussed during meeting included, regularization of all the daily wagers who have completed seven years of service before and after 1994, increase in the daily wage rate to Rs 500 per day, release of DA installment due from 1.1.2015,
dislocation allowance to the employees posted in rural areas, increase in Medical allowance to Rs 2000 per month, release of salary to daily wagers working in PHE and PDD, SSA and RAMSA, regularization of 34 drivers working on contractual basis in JMC Jammu, settlement of pending claims and release of funds for retired SRTC employees under VRS, budgetary support to PSUs including State Forest Corporation, permanent solution to the salary of Female Multipurpose workers in the Health Department and removal of pay anomalies of all cadres including the clerical cadre.
