Imphal, November 01 2012:
Even as the work charge workers of different Engineering Departments have been staging sit-in-protest airing their grievances since November 6, All Manipur Engineering Departments Unions' Council (AMEDUC) have decided to pledge support to the stir.
The decision was taken after a minute deliberation of the issue in its executive committee meeting held on November 9, said a press release.
The meeting was attended by the secretaries/presidents of associations of different Engineering Departments today.
Although, the State Government has implemented the 6th Pay Commission, though partially, the work charge employees are sidelined from the benefit, the council said.
Moreover, the council also expressed dissatisfaction over the fact that the rights of work charge workers are not entitled properly due to outdated service rules.
The council decided to launch intense forms of agitation if the Government fails to provide the benefits of the 6th Pay Commission and other rights to the work charge workers.
Maintaining that DA for Central Government employees has increased to 72 percent, the council also demanded that the current DA of 58 percent be increased at the earliest.
Saying that the State Government does not provide bonus to workers since past many years on the excuse of bad financial condition, the council also drew attention of the State Government in this regard.
