The union said it will appeal to Chief Minister Pramod Sawant and Panchayat Minister Mauvin Godinho in fulfilling its demands, failing which the union will protest.
Speaking to reporters, All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) General Secretary Christopher Fonseca said,” We have taken payment as per the recommendation of sixth pay commission. Now 7th pay commission came in January 2016. Chief Minister Pramod Sawant says everything is settled and had promised that payments would be made as per the recommendations of the 7th pay commission and hence workers have decided to meet the chief minister for the last time and ask him whether the payments will be made as per the 7th pay commission’s recommendations or not.”
“Similarly we will also meet the panchayat minister and make the same demand. If the payments will not be as per the recommendations then the workers will be forced to hold protests and explore other ways of protests including total strike,” he said.
