SSA teachers’ union convenes meeting

Bathinda, January 12
Members of the SSA/RMSA/CSS Teachers Union today convened a meeting here at the Teachers’ Home. The meeting was presided over by Beant Singh Phulewal.

During the meeting, the union distributed pamphlets mentioning their demands and the outlook of the government towards the scheme. “Similar meetings were held across the state today. At some places, the union members also burnt effigies of the state government as a mark of protest,” said Phulewal.


Elaborating on their demands, the teachers said they wanted the police cases registered against 59 teachers of their union to be cancelled.

“The teachers were rounded up by the police when the union was staging a protest at Maluka village in June last year. We demand that the cases be cancelled,” he added.

They also demanded that the government should regularise their jobs.

They also demand that the female teachers employed under the schemes should be given maternity leave of six months instead of the current rule of three months.
