We’ll vote for the party that restores OPS, say striking teacher union leaders in Andhra Pradesh

The indefinite hunger strike launched by the State leaders of the A.P. United Teachers’ Federation (UTF) in support of their demand for restoration of the Old Pension Scheme (OPS) entered the second day on October 19.

The State committee leaders said they would not accept either the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) or the Guaranteed Pension Scheme (GPS) formulated by the State government as an alternative to the OPS.

They sought implementation of the OPS for the teachers whose appointment process had been completed before 2004 but were given the appointment letters after September 1 in 2004.
