UP State Govt staff strike from Feb 26

Mayawati government's move to appease the state government employees and teachers by announcing pay package, as per the sixth pay commission report, seems to have boomeranged. 

Even after putting a huge burden of over Rs 15,000 crore on the state exchequer due to salary hike, around 15 lakh employees and teachers are far from being pleased. They are demanding more and have threatened to go on strike and even vote against the ruling party in Lok Sabha elections, if their demands were not fulfilled. 

The state Employees' Joint Council and Federation of Employees and Teachers Association, on Saturday, announced to strike work  for 72 hours from February 26, demanding `total parity' with their counterparts in the Central government in pay and perks. 

RK Nigam, general secretary of the council told TOI that employees and teachers from all over the state, associated with around 200 association, will take part in the strike. He said that while all the state employees and government teachers strike work for three days, those in the roadways will resort to `chakka jam' (strike) on February 27. 

The state government had constituted Rizvi committee for pay revision of state employees as per the recommendation of the Sixth Pay Commission for Central government employees. But employees in the state are not happy with the pay review. Even after the hike, they are not getting salaries and perk at par with the Central government employees. 

Officers in various state govt. employees are also not happy with the pay revision. UP Adhikari Mahaparishad, which represents officers of all state services, on Friday, staged demonstration in Lucknow and planning a protest rally soon, if its demand for cadre review, hike and better promotional avenues are not met. 

On the other hand, higher education teachers have threatened to vote against BSP, if government delays the implementation of pay revision as per the recommendation of the University Grants Commission.
