Sixth pay commission: Power engineers threaten strike
LUCKNOW: The junior engineers of Lucknow Electricity Supply Administration (Lesa) have threatened of going on a work boycott in case the state government does not meet their demand of removing anomalies in salaries within 72 hours, beginning Sunday. The demand comes in the wake of the prospective application of the 6th Pay Commission following which the cadre apprehends to get lesser salary than their clerical counterparts.
The decision was taken on the second day of the 63rd annual convention of Rajya Vidyut Parishad Junior Engineers' Association on Sunday. President of the association Satnam Singh alleged the administration of having malicious intentions to deny basic rights to the JE cadre.
Singh said that the problems arising out of the work boycott would be the responsibility of the UPPCL administration.
Notably, the Rajya Vidyut Abhiyanta Sangh too have called upon the engineers of UPPCL to go on a state-wide strike in case UPPCL administration does not remove anomalies pertaining to promotions. The deadline the association has laid before the UPPCL administration is December 23, that is Wednesday.
