Govt staff on statewide strike on Feb 20, 21



Raipur, February 13, 2013

The government employees will go on two-day statewide strike under the banner of Chhattisgarh Class Three Government Employees’ Association (CCTGEA) in favour of their demands on February 20 and 21, 2013.

“The policies of union and state governments are against employees. Besides, the state government recently ignored genuine demands of striking employees, teachers and clerks. Hence, the association will once again put all the demands of government employees through the strike,” said the CCTGEA state spokesperson Rakesh Sharma on Wednesday.

He informed that the government staffers would also take out district-level rallies prior to their statewide strike. On Thursday and Friday, the district-level rally will be taken out in Jagdalpur and Bemetara respectively, he said.

In addition, the national vice president of All India State Government Employees’ Federation (AISGEF) Narendra Singh Chandrakar and CCTGEA state president CL Sahu will tour to entire state and appeal government staffers to make the statewide strike successful. The duo will also inform employees about the association’s major demands during their tour.

Sharma held Centre’s neo-liberal policies responsible for aggravating financial condition of labourers and employees. He informed that the association recently submitted memorandum regarding price rise, unemployment, contractual system, FDI in banking insurance, etc to chief secretary.
