JAMMU, Dec 13: The president , J&K Coordination Committee of Trade Unions (JKCCTU) and national secretary of All India State Govt Employees Federation (AISGEF), Mohd Maqbool has alleged that Central and the State Governments were pursuing the anti-working class policies.
Talking to media persons here today, Mohd Maqbool strongly condemned the neo-liberal economic and anti-working class polices of the Government and demanded immediate implementation of 7th Pay Commission report in the State. He described the present 7th Pay Commission as the worst ever in the history and described that employees were most unhappy over the hike recommended by the Committee framed for the purpose by the Central Government. This Committee has also recommended further job cut to the extent of 30 % which is unfortunate, he added.
Maqbool said that the present Government is focusing on the casual and temporary type of jobs with no pension, adequate allowances and other service and social security benefits. There is no policy for the regularization of the daily wagers/ temporary/ casual/ need based workers and their exploitation is continued under the nose of Labour Department. There is sheer violation of Labour Laws and the much needed social security to the worker has been denied.
Maqbool further demanded removal of pay anomalies of the clerical cadre, regularization of temporary/ casual/ contractual, Asha, Anganwadi workers, scarping of new pension scheme, enhancement of Medical allowance etc. He said that delay being caused by State Govt to implement 7th Pay Commission report is causing strong resentment among employees.
The JKCCTU leader appealed all the employees’ organizations of the State to come forward and prepare themselves to launch a united struggle for the burning demands of the employees. He said that on December 21, a united meeting of employees bodies will be held at Jammu to discuss next course of action.
Senior members of JKCCTU Gurmeet Singh, Haji Gh Mohd, Ram Kumar, Farid Ahmed and Muneer Khan were also present.
