Temporary workers seek pay parity
Staff Reporter
KARUR: The Tamil Nadu Government Temporary Junior Assistants’ Association has urged the State government to revise and re-fix their salary matching the regular Junior Assistant’s pay from the current consolidated payment of Rs. 4,000 per month.
In a memorandum forwarded to the Chief Minister, the Association State president T. Elamparithi has noted that though it was not possible to extend all the benefits the regular government staff were enjoying at present, the State government could consider paying the same salary for the temporary Junior Assistants as the pay and perks of the regular Junior Assistant.
That was necessary as the prices of essential commodities, rent, medicine costs, travel, education and other overheads had gone up considerably over the past six years since they were appointed to the posts in 2003. The only way to survive and protect the livelihood was to seek the assistance and benevolence of the Chief Minister to re-fix the scale of pay.
Though the State government had, heeding their plea, decided to regularize the services of all the temporary Junior Assistants, the services of none of them had been regularized during the whole of 2008.
While a total of 13,083 persons joined in July 2003, some had died in harness and some others had been relieved since they attained the age of super annuation.
“Our families depend on our income to eke out a living.
The meagre amount of Rs. 4,000 per month would in no way support a family and that was why the Association was seeking pay parity with regular junior assistants,” points out Mr. Ilamparaithi in the memorandum.
