Nearly eight lakh Gujarat Govt. staffers will take mass casual leave on Thursday seeking implementation of sixth pay commission's recommendations.
The strike is being organised by the Gujarat Rajya Karmachari Samiti, an umbrella organization which has brought all employee unions together. The decision to go ahead with the mass CL programme was announced at 5 pm, on the expiry of the deadline for withdrawing police cases and transfer orders against employee leaders. However, 2,500 employees of the New Sachivalaya Association as well as about 2 lakh probationers will not join the strike.
As the cases and transfer orders were not withdrawn, they boycotted a meeting with a group of ministers and the secretary, general administration.
Officers of the rank of deputy collector and below, teachers, doctors, university employees, judiciary staff, employees of sachivalaya, panchayats, civic bodies, boards and corporations will be on strike. It is for the first time in the recent history of Gujarat that 14 employee and officers associations have come together for a show of strength.
Vishnubhai Patel, president of the samiti, said employees will organise dharnas on Thursday at the old and new sachivalayas in Gandhinagar, Apna Bazaar, LD Engineering College and RTO in Ahmedabad, apart from all district headquarters. A procession will also be taken out in Gandhinagar.
Patel said, "We are fighting against an autocratic government which is also vindictive. It is surprising that the government has no hesitation doling out benefits to rich industrialists but has no consideration for employees who keep the administration running."
