Correspondent

VIZIANAGARAM: The Cooperative Societies Employees’ Association, affiliated to the AITUC, would be meeting in Vijayawada on October 12 to finalise a plan of action, said V. Krishnam Raju, president of the association.

At a press conference on Friday, he said that in majority of the 2,500 PACS in the State the employees were not being paid salaries, except salary advance, for the last two years.

The salaries – of attendant to accountant – range from Rs. 1,500 to Rs.2,500 per month.

Though the association represented to the Minister and officials concerned many times no action was taken, he said.

Memorandum

He added that recently the association submitted a memorandum to the Chief Minister with a charter of eight demands which included implementation of wage commission scales, scrapping of Section 116(C) because as per the section even advances paid against salaries were being shown to auditors as “dues” in the employees’ registers.

Another demand was to extend voluntary retirement scheme on par with DCCB employees to PACS also. B. Ramu Naidu, general secretary and others were present.
