In a recent round-table meeting, Telangana’s outsourcing employees have come together to voice their demands for job security and fair benefits. The meeting saw the participation of Eetela Rajender, a prominent figure, highlighting the significance of the issues faced by these employees.
Outsourcing Employees Demand Direct Payment
Telangana has a large number of outsourcing employees who have been working for several years. These individuals are well-educated, holding advanced degrees, yet their salaries are disbursed through agencies, leading to significant deductions. After deductions for ESI, PF, and GST, many employees receive less than INR 9,000. Their demands are not unreasonable, yet they continue to face challenges.
Outsourcing employees are requesting the government to pay their salaries directly. They believe that direct payment will ensure they receive their full entitlement without intermediary deductions. Additionally, they are seeking safeguards in employment notifications to protect those who have been working in these roles for years. They propose that marks should be added to their scores in competitive exams as a form of recognition for their service.
Regular Salaries and Employment Security
One of the primary demands is the timely disbursement of monthly salaries. Delays in payments have caused financial instability among the employees, leading to frustration and discontent. Furthermore, they are asking for job security to prevent abrupt termination of their employment. By ensuring these measures, the employees hope to lead a stable and secure professional life.
The employees are also requesting the provision of ESI, PF, and health cards. These benefits are essential for their well-being and financial security. The current lack of these benefits has left many employees vulnerable and insecure.
Government’s Response is Crucial
The employees are urging the government to respond positively to their demands. They believe that the government’s intervention is necessary to resolve their issues and improve their working conditions. The round-table meeting, which included the participation of Eetela Rajender, has brought these issues to the forefront, emphasizing the need for immediate action.
The outsourcing employees’ demands highlight the broader issue of job security and fair compensation in the state. With the right measures, the government can address these concerns and ensure a better working environment for all.
Disappointment Among Unemployed Youth
The situation is further compounded by the disappointment among unemployed youth who were hopeful of job notifications. The government had promised the filling of two lakh jobs, but the reality has left many disheartened. The current job exams have also faced delays, adding to the frustration of the job seekers.
The criticism from coaching centers and the accusations by the Chief Minister regarding financial incentives for the unemployed have added to the controversy. The government’s handling of the situation has been likened to neglecting essential issues, drawing parallels with past administrative failures.
The outsourcing employees, along with the unemployed youth, are looking towards the government for a resolution. The round-table meeting and the discussions that followed highlight the urgent need for addressing these demands. The hope is that the government will act with empathy and ensure a fair and just resolution to these pressing issues.
