Stating that the State government has always kept its doors open for employee unions, Adviser, Public Affairs, Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy has said that unions should be ready to discuss core issues with the government.
The statement comes in the backdrop of a strident pose taken by the employee unions who held a protest in Vijayawada on Thursday and threatened to go on strike from February 7.
“We have been reiterating that the government is ready to hold talks with the unions for many days, but we can’t keep on inviting them daily. The employee unions should understand that the government is ready to listen to their grievances, but if they continue to take a strident stand and allow political parties to take advantage of the situation, they would be at a loss. We understand that a lot of leaders from Left parties had taken part in the meeting held on Thursday. If employees in emergency health care go on strike, they would have to face the consequences,” said Mr. Ramakrishna Reddy.
