Chennai: Barely hours
after the union cabinet approved the seventh pay commission, central
government employees sat down to protest over the less-than-expected pay
rise that they had been given.
The union cabinet had approved the
seventh pay commission to central government employees and pensioners on
Wednesday. While the union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley tweeted his
congratulations on a 'historic rise' for employees and pensioners and
pay experts anticipating a boost in consumption and demand for consumer
goods, the central government employees in Chennai were sore about what
they called a meagre and nominal pay hike.
Speaking on the implementations of the
seventh pay commission, the Defence Minister stated that he too had made
certain recommendations and revealed that some of them had been
implemented.
Meanwhile the protesting employees say
that the present hike of 14.2 percent was the least in the last 60 years
and see it as a humiliation. Though the IMF and World Bank had insisted
that the pay hike should not be more than 16 percent, the employees
stated that they had expected the government to do better than that, but
are now disappointed and feel let down.
They are now threatening a nationwide stir to register their protest.
