K. Muraleedharan, MLA, has demanded that the government reserve 25 posts in all categories for contract employees. He was inaugurating a working committee meeting of Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) Petty Contractors and Contract Workers Congress, affiliated to the Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC) here, on Friday. Employees ranging from sweepers to engineers were working on contract at the board for more than 20 years for petty wages. They should be given their due, he said. Union — Special Correspondent
