Around 4,600 outsourced employees in the Samagra Shiksha wing of the School Education Department are on the war path demanding immediate solution to their problems.
Their demands include implementation of Minimum Time Scale of ₹26,000, steps to reduce work load and timely payment of their salaries. The workers are on a strike from December 20. Prior to that they observed a pen-down strike for four days.
State Chairman of the Federation of Andhra Pradesh Teachers’ Organisations (FAPTO) N. Venkateswarlu and secretary general Ch. Manjula condemned “indifference of the government towards the employees” and declared their full support to the ongoing strike.
