CM calls SSA/RMSA Office Employees Union on April 29 to discuss various demands across the table
Ferozepur, April 27: The Punjab Chief Minister, Parkash Singh Badal has invited the Sarv Sikhya Abhiyan (SSA)/Rashtriya Madhyama Sikhya Abhiyan (RMSA) Office Employees Union – fighting for the regularization of service for the last 10 years – to discuss the various demands of the employees across the table.
In a press release, State Vice President Ashish Julaha and Rajinder Singh Press Secretary have stated that earlier panel meeting was called for April 21 but on getting no satisfactory reply from the Education Department with regard to demands of the employees, the meeting has now been called for April 29 at Punjab Bhawan Chandigarh at 11 AM.
They said, the employees under SSA/RMSA are working since 2004 but despite giving assurances from the government, their services have not been regularized. Apart from this, certain departmental demands have been agreed but dilly-dallying attitude is being adopted by the government to implement the same.
Making it clear, Daljinder Singh, State General Secretary said, in case there is no permanent solution of their genuine demands, the employees will intensify the agitation by exposing the anti-youths policies of the government from door-to-door.
It may be added that there are 1412 SSA and 67 RMSA non-teaching employees are working in 12 different cadres working under SSA/RMSA from Office Assistant-cum-Data Entry Operator to Deputy Manager with pay of Rs.13500 to Rs.17420 consolidated wages, in the grade pay of Rs.10300-34800+4400.
As per the notification issued by the Education Department on May 8, 20-14, the above wages will be paid only after the receipt of required funds from the Govt of India w.e.f. April 1, 2014. The salary of non-teaching staff, will be fixed by including the DA of regular employees every year on April 1.

These orders were however made effective as per the consent given vide letter dated March 27, 2014 by the Finance Department.
