Building a Wider
Horizon With Labour
The civic workers under the aegis of AP Municipal Workers Joint Action Committee (JAC) have strongly opposed G.O. 279 issued by the State government. The workers demanded the government to withdraw it immediately and regularise their services. The JAC organised a State-level meeting of civic workers here on Thursday. Addressing the gathering, JAC chairman K. Umamaheswara Rao said that the G.O. is detrimental to the municipal workers in the State. The municipal workers jobs are at risk with the government plans to privatise the services in the local bodies. The government which boasts of welfare schemes for Dalits, BCs and tribals is behaving in an autocratic manner. Majority of municipal workers are from these sections, he said.
