Employees And Management In Talks Since 27 Months
Central Employees Union president, Nikhil Dwivedi said, “We have been continuously talking about our various demands like arrears of the last 27 months to the employees, regularisation of time scale and pay scale to the employees, but our demands have not been heeded to. That is why we were forced to go on strike.”
The strike is going on not only in JKVV but also in all the agricultural colleges affiliated to the university. The employees have warned that if their demands are not met any time soon, then their strike will continue further.
