Strike on December 23.
Giving ultimatum to the Jammu and Kashmir Government to provide the remaining benefits under the Sixth Pay Commission before the year-end as promised, at least 4.5 lakh employees across the State would go on strike on December 23.
The employees, under the banner of Employees' Joint Action Committee (EJAC), will also hold protest demonstrations to press for the implementation of the pending Pay panel recommendations, already accepted by the Government in principle.
President EJAC, Abdul Qayoom Wani, said the employees will go on a State-wide day-long strike on December 23. "The employees are ready to teach the Government a lesson for playing tricks and wasting time unnecessarily. If the Government continues its non-seriousness, there will be a complete lockout on Dec 30,” said Wani, threatening that the month of January 2010 will be very hectic for the Government," he said.
The employee’s union is demanding that the retirement age of State Government employees be raised from 58-60 years, at par with Central Government officials. In addition, it also wants regularizing of services of dailywage and adhoc workers, merging of Cost of Living Allowance into the Dearness Allowance, uniform Housing Rent Allowance as that of Central Government employees, release of 40 per cent arrears and extending the 6th Pay panel benefits to Local Bodies, Municipal Corporations and Public Sector Undertakings.
