AP AIDS control staff write to CM for wages
State president of the Union Venu Sudarthi said they have been working for Andhra Pradesh State Aids Control Society, affiliated to National Aids Control Organisation (NACO), for the past 15 years as outsourcing employees on meagre wages.
Visakhapatnam: Members of Andhra Pradesh State Aids Control Employees Union sent a memorandum to Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on their pending wage hike with arrears and revision of their salaries which has been done in other States.
State president of the Union Venu Sudarthi said they have been working for Andhra Pradesh State Aids Control Society, affiliated to National Aids Control Organisation (NACO), for the past 15 years as outsourcing employees on meagre wages.
The employees were not getting wages since 2014 due to lack of contingency funds. Yet all of them worked with their own funds in the interest of the patients. All the employees get annual increments, but for the past two financial years (2014-2015, 2015-2016), the increments were not given.
Their counterparts in Karnataka, West Bengal, Odisha, Delhi, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu received the increments at the rate of Rs 1,250 and all the arrears were given.
Even NACO has sanctioned five per cent increment. Sudarthi said All India Aids Control Employees Welfare Association wrote to NACO secretary who in writing assured to hold a project directors meeting to resolve the issue.
