Mysuru: Demanding the implementation of their various demands including the confirmation of services of internal and external contract employees of Health and Family Welfare Department and implementation of Srinivasachari Report on the subject, revision and fixation of KSRTC employees salaries on par with Government employees and scrapping of internal contract and external out sourcing labour system, activists of Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) District Unit staged a protest near the Deputy Commissioner’s (DC) office yesterday.
Shouting slogans in support of their demands, the protesters urged the State Government to confirm the services of present contract labourers and raise their monthly services to Rs. 21,000 and revise their salary every three years. They also demanded that the Pension being given to all organised and unorganised labourers be raised to Rs. 5,000 per month.
BMS activists also demanded that the State Government should stop privatising Government and Public Undertaking Units and they should be modernised by adopting latest technology.
“The ESI Scheme facility limit should be increased for all employees from the present Rs. 21,000 to Rs. 35,000 and urged the Government to give equal salary for equal work. If the Government fails to fulfil all our demands, a massive protest will be organised at Bengaluru on Feb. 6,” warned the protesters.
Later, they submitted a copy of the demands to the office of DC.
BMS State Secretary Shantakumar, District Vice-Presidents Harish & Chandru, office-bearers Mahesh, P. Balakrishna and others participated in the protest.

Years ago, such sums of money were considered very ridiculous. But when a sack of rice costs INR 5000, edible oil INR 200 and vegetables INR 60 upwards for a kilo, it only suggests that the INR is as worthless as a waste paper! Narendra Modi should note that that is why Western companies outsource all works to India, where human labour is needed such as software coding, answering customer enquiring etc… as they can pay these neanderthals in worthless INRs!
