JAMMU, Feb 6: A faction of Employees Joint Action Committee (EJAC), led by Abdul Qayoom Wani today reviewed strategy for five-day strike programme announced by Joint Consultative Committee (JCC) of the employees leadership from Feb 19 to 23.
In a meeting of the EJAC held under the chairmanship of Mr Wani here, the employees representatives from various unions and associations of different departments, discussed and chalked out strategy for the proposed strike being launched from February 19, 2013. They alleged that State Government has failed to do justice with the employees who are struggling since long.
The speakers in the meeting pointed out that the Government has failed to enhance retirement age from 58 to 60 years, remove pay anomalies of employees of various cadre, regularize daily wagers, ad hoc and other temporary employees and provide full benefits of 6th Pay Commission to the PSU workers besides clearing their arrears.
The EJAC leaders again issued appeal to the Chief Minister to intervene personally and not to force the employees to adopt agitational path as it was not in the interest of the Government, general public and the employees as well. They said if the Government remains rigid then 4.50 lakh employees of the State will be left with the only option to resort to the agitational path. They also appealed the Civil Secretariat employees union to play big brother’s role in this 5th phase of the agitational programme. The EJAC appealed all the employees and their unions to remain united for their common cause.
Prominent among those present in the meeting included Amrik Singh, Ganesh Khajuria, Amirk Singh Sasan, Ghulam Mohd Hamdarad and Manzoor Pampori.
