Leaders of the Andhra Pradesh United Teachers’ Federation (UTF) are up in arms against what they called the “deceptive tactics” resorted to by the State government to deprive employees, teachers and pensioners of their rightful share of benefits under the 11 th Pay Revision Commission.
In a statement on Sunday, federation’s State president and general secretary N. Venkateswarlu and K.S.S. Prasad said, now that the Ashutosh Misra report on the 11 th PRC was out in the open, it was clear that the government was taking the employees for a ride. They demanded that the names of those behind this “deception” be made public.
They said the PRC report had clearly recommended 27% fitment, but the official committee constituted by the government initially offered 14.29% and later, portraying it as its magnanimity, announced 23% fitment. Because of this, they said the employees would lose at least one increment and it would be a long-term impact.
