Dear Comrades,
Demanding the Centre to constitute the 7th Pay Commission, several Union Government employees and pensioners’ Associations are going to stage a protest on Monday at the Indira Park in Hyderabad as part of their nationwide protest.
According to a press release from the All India DRDO Technical Officers’ Association, due to unprecedented inflation and spiraling prices of essential commodities, wages determined by the 6th Central Pay Commissioner have now been eroded by 100 per cent.
While the government permits wage negotiations and revision in the fully owned Public Sector Undertakings every five years, officers’ association president Krishna Mohan said the refusal of the Centre to revise wages of Central government employees and officers despite such large-scale erosion in the real value of wages was absolutely unjustified. He called upon all the central government employees to participate in the protest.
The associations like DRDO scientists’ associations, administrative officers’ association, DRDO officers’ federation, confederation of central government gazetted officers’ organisation, all pensioners and retired employees’ association, railway, defense and postal employees’ association are going to participate in the protest.
