Mohali, December 2
Defying the orders issued by the Punjab Director General School Education (DGSE), Non-Teaching Employees Union, members of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyaan (SSA)/ Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyaan (RMSA), continued with their strike and over 1,000 employees held a protest outside the DGSE’s office, today.
The general secretary of the Union, Ashish Kumar, said, “Not even a single employee out of the total 1,400, joined their duties today in spite of the notice, that urged the staff to join back their duties or face termination.”
“Till the time our demands are not met, we will continue to fight for our rights,” said the general secretary.
According to sources, the DGSE today met the union delegation and assured them that a meeting will be arranged with the Punjab Chief Minister, Parkash Singh Badal, in a day or two.
Meanwhile, representatives of several other unions including Punjab Subordinate Services Federation, Sangharsh Talmel Committee, PUDA, Democratic Teachers Front, Government Teachers Union, Computer Teachers Union, and Sikhiya Providers Union, also reached at the site of protest and assured to extend their support to the protesting employees.
The main demand of the Non-Teaching Employees Union is to give them
pay scale equal to the teaching staff.
