| State Govt again on confrontation path with employees? | | |
Early Times Report
JAMMU, Sept 6: The State Government is again on confrontation path with its employees after promising them redressal of all their grievances by the end of this month.
Leaders of the various State Government employees unions have said they have signed an agreement with the representatives of the Government wherein it has been promised that the demands of the employees would be favourably considered and the final decision with regard to these demands would be conveyed to the State Government employees by the end of this month. Speaking to the media senior leaders of the employees have said their patience has already been tested for such a long time and it appears the Government is not serious at all in resolving the pending demands of its workforce.
The State Government has always been pleading its financial inability to meet the demands of its employees. The impasse is likely to trouble the common man in the State who has to go from pillar to post with his problems. Already the dragon of red tapism has broken the back of those who lose age and years by visiting the State Government offices with their genuine demands. Access to officials has become a huge problem for the common man whose entry into Government offices is always difficult and cumbersome.
There was a time when the State Government maintained that the demand for enhancement in the retirement age was being raised only by those few trade union leaders of the employees who would be its immediate beneficiaries as they were to retire in near future. Now that some of the senior Government employees leaders have already retired from services the plea by the State Government that this has been the demand of a few individuals and not the majority of the employees does not hold much water.
Opposing any enhancement in the retirement age of its employees on the plea of the growing unemployment among the local youth becomes a joke as the State Government has started the culture of re-engaging many senior retired State Government officials. How can the Government logically oppose enhancement in the retirement age of its employees while it goes on continuing the services of some of the blue-eyed bureaucrats endlessly on one pretext or the other?
The State Government would be acting in the most immature manner if it decides to e-engage some of its favourite retired and retiring Government officials while brushing aside the demand for the enhancement in the superannuation age of all its employees as a matter of principle.
Government cannot and must not be run on whims of those in power. Such whimsical dispensation of largesse often leads to disgruntlement among the large mass of the Government's workforce that actually moves the wheels of governance in the State. A disgruntled peon outside the Babu's chambers is always the first interface of the common man with the State Government. The State Government would have to bear in mind the interests of the lowest of the lower rungs of its administration in order to appear fair and just. Caring for only those who are already placed high up on the administrative ladder is like carrying charity home. |
