Srinagar: Scores of Contingent Paid Workers (CPW) working in Education Department protest over
non-implemented Minimum Wages Act and pending wages.
Under the banner of All Jammu and Kashmir Contingent Paid Workers Union, workers protested in Press Enclave Srinagar.
President of the (AJKCPW) association, Abdul Gani Malik said They have been protesting since 2017.
“We were getting 50 percent quota under SRO-308”, in an order last year, DSEK made respective CEOs as Chairmen to release the pending (DPCs) Departmental Promotion Committee."
"But instead of releasing wages; those CEOs are only concerned with repeated verifications," CPW President said.
"If our rights are not given to us, the protests will spread in every district," he said.
He also hopes the LG led administration will release their wages as per Minimum Wages Act.
