Jalandhar, January 12
Aided school employees will hold a protest rally at Rampura Phul on January 18. GS Chahal, state president, Aided School Teachers' and Other Employees' Union,declared that all the employees of aided schools would attend the rally by applying mass casual leave.
The union members said Education Minister Sikander Singh Maluka had promised to arrange a meeting of the union with CM Parkash Singh Badal on January 8 but no meeting took place.
"Although a number of employees waited for nine hours for the meeting, it did not take place. The action committee of the union has decided to hold the protest rally in the constituency of the Education Minister due to it," the union members said.
District president Arvind Bains and PRO Manish Aggrwal said the union was demanding shifting of aided schools employees to government schools. "They are struggling for the past two years for the merger," they said.
They further stated that a state-level rally was held in March, 2013, thereafter they held a demonstration at the district headquarters from August 5 to 8 and a state-level rally on September 5.
They said when they decided to protest during the Teachers Day celebrations in Patiala on October 9, the Education Minister had called them for a meeting and favoured the merger but, later, he made a committee to consider the number of posts required in aided school and that committee submitted a report to the government and the High Court. The teachers said they had also not received their salaries since October, 2013.
