Indefinite hunger strike by Contract Employees

3-3/CC/2010 04.01.2010

To

The Chief Secretary,

Andaman & Nicobar Administration,

Port Blair.

Sir,

I am to invite your kind attention towards the Notice served on the Administration by a group of contract employees engaged as Data Entry Operators in the Secretariat establishment intimating their intention to go on indefinite hunger strike in front of the Secretariat demanding regularization of their services.

These employees were engaged by the Administration as Computer Assistants initially on daily-rated basis and then on contract basis since 1999. They have worked with utmost sincerity and dedication, attending emergency work even during night and holidays.

Their requests, over the years, for regularization of their services in any of the posts, even against Group D posts, were not considered by the Administration favourably. With no further prospects of a permanent job and the threat of dis-engagement from service hanging on them and left with no other alternative they have decided to resort to the extreme form of protest with no malice or hatred to any authority.

I would, therefore, request your goodself kindly to intervene in the matter so that the proposed indefinite hunger strike by the above-said employees can be averted.

Yours faithfully,

(D. Ayyappan)

General Secretary
