Imphal, July 05 2015 :
The JAC of AMTUC and AMGEO has decided to launch cease work strike from July 20 in case their demands are not translated into action by July 18 .
Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club today, JAC secretary general Purujit said that all Muster Roll and Casual Workers should be given the status of Work Charge employees together with all retirement benefits according to rules.
Moreover, contract employees working in GAD, MIS, Economics and Statistics, NRHM, MACS, RNTCP, Forest, Social Welfare etc should be given the status of regular employees.
He claimed that around 60,000 employees of the State Government would take part in the cease work strike scheduled to begin from July 20 .
Even as many regular posts are lying vacant, the Government has been appointing only contract employees thereby denying all the benefits entitled to a regular employee.
Saying that a memorandum highlighting all the JAC's demands has been submitted to the Chief Minister, Purujit demanded payment of Dearness Relief to pensioners, service regularization of contract employees and implementation of 6th Pay Commission's recommendations.
