He said that even though the state leadership was trying to pacify, the employees are not convinced and were revolting against the JAC leaders. "The government is in a situation where it is unable to pay even the salaries. If we retreat in this a situation, we can't expect it to pay the arrears," he remarked.
He said as per the schedule the employees will stage protests at all government offices till March 20. He said from March 21 to April 5, 'work to rule' will be observed. Venkateswarlu demanded complete implementation of Pay Revision Commission (PRC) pay scale agreements and payment of wages on first day of every month.
