Govt employees of Manipur threaten stir over 6th pay commission

The Joint Administrative Council, JAC, of All Manipur Trade Unions Council, AMTUC, and All Manipur Government Employees Organisation, AMGEO, have decided to launch a series of agitations against the state government from November 6 to protest against its failure to implement 6th pay commission in the state despite repeated reminders by the JAC to the state government.
According to a release from L Priyobrata, secretary of information and publcity of the JAC, the JAC following the implemenation of 6th pay commission in various states as recommended by the Centre was pressurising the government for the implementation of the pay commission for the state government employees and pensioners.
With the failure of the state government to fulfill the demands of the JAC, the JAC had no alternative means other than launching various forms of democratic agitations against the state government.
The release further mentioned that as part of the scheduled line of agitation there would be black badge agitation by the government employees from November 6, to be followed by work to rules agitation from November 13, pen down strike from November 20 and complete indefinite cease work strike from November 27 if the state government failed to meet their demands.
The release further appealed to all government employees of various departments to cooperate in the proposed agitation as scheduled by the JAC and asked the concerned government employees to complete necessary file process related to the students of the state before the proposed indefinite cease work strike.
