Demands Sarkari Kormochari Samannay Parishad

Staff Correspondent
Calling for an end to the discriminations in promotions and salaries between government employees stationed inside the Secretariat and outside, Bangladesh Sarkari Kormochari Samannay Parishad placed a seven-point demand at a press conference at Dhaka Reporters Unity yesterday.
A press release signed by Rezaul Mostafa, secretary of the government employees' association, read that the Parishad
with 12 lakh government employees who work outside the Secretariat would launch a movement if the demands remain unfulfilled by October 30.
The demands include replacing the word "employee" in the designations of all class-Ill staff with "officer" and increasing their pay scale. For instance, the "administrative employees" should be renamed "administrative officers".
"The Secretariat employees get 100 percent grade selection, but we do not," Rezaul told The Daily Star, explaining that the grades of class-Ill and class-IV employees did not change automatically.
He explained that when class-Ill employees at the Secretariat got promoted, they became class-II officers and thus got a huge raise, but it happened only to a few employees outside.
He also demanded that the jobs of those appointed in development projects or temporarily be made permanent, and they receive the due facilities from their date ofjoining.
Another demand is that the current 20 grades in government job be converted into 10 grades and the pay scale be fixed at a 1:5 ratio, meaning that the salaries of the persons holding the lowest and highest posts should follow the proportion.
The other demands included increasing pension from 80 percent of basic pay to 100, gratuity from Tk 230 to Tk 300, providing financial benefits of all due leaves instead of just 12 months during Leave Preparatory to Retirement (LPR) and providing government land or a building in the capital's Sher-e-Bangla Nagar for the Parishad's office, said Mostafa.
If the demands remain unfulfilled by October 30, employees of the seven divisional towns would arrange a rally on November 2, wear black badges from November 16 to 18, carry out work stoppage from 10:00am to 12:00 noon from November 25 to 27, and send a memorandum to the prime minister through the district magistrate.
Finally, on December 10, the employees would gather at the Central Shaheed Minar in the capital and march towards the Prime Minister's Office with the memorandum.
