After solving most of the key demands of the regular and contract employees by mediating with the government, the Andhra Pradesh Joint Action Committee (JAC) Amaravati is now focussed on the issues of outsourced employees, said its chairman Bopparaju Venkateswarlu here on Saturday.
Mr. Bopparaju, along with Contract and Outsourced Employees JAC chairman K. Suman, held a meeting with representatives of various contract and outsourced employees’ associations at Revenue Bhavan on Saturday.
Interacting with them, contract and outsourced employees working in the Department of Animal Husbandry said that enhanced salaries paid to the para-medical staff (lab technicians) and lab attendants for a year from January 1, 2022, to January 1, 2023, was abruptly withdrawn and old salaries reinstated from February 1, 2023. When questioned, the officials said the Finance Department had not approved it, they said.
