Ferozepur, September 28,2016: In its meeting held at Ludhiana today, the SSA/RMSA Office Employees Union Punjab gave ultimatum up to October 4, for regularisation of services of 1479 employees working with the Education Department since 2004, otherwise the employees will intensify their agitation throughout the State by organizing State level rallies.
Speaking to the media persons, Rajinder Singh, State Press Secretary and Sarabjit Singh State Secretary giving a warning to the government said, the government is making false claims of regularisation of services of employees. The existing employees are working for the last 12 years and they were recruited after completion of regular recruitment process and written test.
They further said, despite having number of meetings at various levels but all in vain as the government has adopted the dilly-dallying attitude.
The Union has decided to present memorandums to the Ministers from September 29 to October 3 and have given ultimatum to the government to take final decision regarding regularisation of their services and in case there is no positive outcome in a meeting with the Education Minister on October 5, the agitation will be intensified throughout the state from October 8 onwards.
Added here that in addition of SSA/RMSA office employees, there are other categories also like Sikhya Provider 6800, IERT 500, Suvidha Employees 1100, MGNRGA 1265, NRHM 7000, Integrated Child Protection 250, Water and Sanitation 550 and Mid Day Meal 200 working since 2004, 2008 and 2014 on temporary basis and majority of them have crossed the limit for applying to any other government job, some are married having grown up kids. All these employees are not sure as to when they will see the light of the day especially the living in this high inflated market is difficult.
