Tirupati: Trade unions, including CITU to which the TTD Contract Employees Union is affiliated, expressed their protest against TTD management's move to take its outsourced and contract employees under the umbrella of Andhra Pradesh Corporation for Outsourced Services (APCOS).

Under the aegis of CITU, a roundtable conference was held here on Sunday and the meet demanded the TTD to stop its move to take the contract and outsourced employees working in TTD under APCOS.

APCOS was established by the state government in October last year as a dedicated corporation that directly outsource manpower to various departments and organisations in the state as per requirements.

CITU district president M Nagarjuna said the TTD move is against the assurance given by YS Jagan Mohan Reddy who had promised the TTD employees that he would see that the outsourced and contract employees would be given time scale if his party is voted to power.

The CITU leader said that the TTD move shocked the 14,000 outsourced and contract employees. He said that TTD chairman YV Subba Reddy, City MLA Bhumana Karunakar Reddy, Chandragiri MLA and TTD trust board ex-officio member Chevireddy Bhaskar Reddy also assured to take steps for time scale to all the outsourced and contract employees.

CITU district general secretary and TTD Contract Employees' union honorary president Kandarapu Murali said the outsourced and contract employees work in the critical period of Covid-19. There is no need for TTD to take a hasty move, he said.

TTD Employees joint action committee chairman G Venkataramana Reddy, contract employees union general secretary T Subramanayam and others participated.
