Medical staff told to fight for rights

Staff Reporter

Kakinada: Andhra Pradesh Medical Employees’ Union (APMEU) State vice-president B Achamamba called upon employees of the A.P Vaidya Vidhana Parishad (APVVP), Directorate of Medical Education and ESI hospitals to fight against the Government’s alleged indifference to their problems and to be prepared for a Statewide strike if necessary.

Addressing members of the APMEU at the Government General Hospital here on Friday, Mr. Achamamba said the work load on medical employees had increased manifold without a corresponding increase in the workforce and there were several problems in addition to the one caused by non-filling of vacancies. If the situation continued like this, the medical employees would strike work throughout the State, the APMEU leader warned.

AITUC district secretary K Krishna Rao said the Government should take immediate action on the issues raised by the medical employees who had been neglected by successive governments.

The APMEU’s demands are: filling of vacancies, dropping the proposals to recruit on contract basis, sanction of loans on GPF by APVVP, preventing delays in making compassionate appointments, extending benefits like festival advances and increment arrears as per schedule.
