Patna: A committee of teaching and non-teaching staff of schools today threatened to go on an indefinite strike after January 16 if the Bihar government failed to rectify their pay anomalies.
Vowing to go on an indefinite strike after the deadline, Joint Action Committee General Secretary Munshi Prasad Singh, said "we have given time to the government till January 15 to remove the pay anomalies in the salary structure and to implement the sixth pay panel recommendations in totality."
Singh said over one lakh teaching and non-teaching employees, besides semi-government employees including newly appointed teachers of primary and secondary schools would demonstrate on January 16 to press for their demands.
"If our genuine demands are not met by the time, we will be forced to proceed on an indefinite strike for which the responsibility will lie on the government", JAC President Shatrughan Prasad Singh said.
Demanding the government should constitute the Pay Anomalies Removal Committee instead of the Pay Committee, he said benefits of the Sixth Pay Commission should be made effective from January 1,2006 and not by April 1,2007 as announced by the state government.
