Sanitation workers took out a march in Koderma, CITU supported it | News India

Koderma, September 11 (HS). On Wednesday, sanitation workers took out a procession and raised slogans from Koderma Hanuman Mandir Chowk to Nagar Panchayat office via Koderma Bazaar in support of the indefinite strike of civic workers which is going on since August 23, demanding permanent employment for daily wage earners, contractual workers and outsourcing workers, 100% honorarium or salary to be allocated by the state government, promotion as per rules, benefits of PF and ESI, linking them with life insurance, giving pension after retirement under social security, etc.

In this, slogans like Jharkhand Government come to your senses, minimum salary of 26 thousand must be paid, daily wage earners and outsourcing workers must be made permanent, equal pay for equal work must be given, take back the anti-labor labor code, etc. were being raised. Supporting the movement in a street meeting held at Koderma Gandhi Chowk under the chairmanship of Local Bodies Employees Federation President Murari Mohan Yadav, CITU State Secretary Sanjay Paswan said that even after twenty days of the strike of sanitation workers, the Jharkhand Government is in deep slumber. The sanitation system of cities has stopped working in the entire state, there are heaps of garbage.

Paswan said that the demands of daily wage earners and outsourced sanitation workers of the municipal body are justified. These people do the lowest work of the society, which no one wants to do. They clean everything from drain cleaning to toilet tanks. They should get proper respect and equal pay for equal work. Their exploitation by the officials should stop. There should be a guarantee of social security in case of an accident during work. The meeting was addressed by Mahendra Turi, Murari Manohar Yadav, Siyaram, Rajesh Das, Kanhaiya Kumar, Pawan Kumar of CITU.

Those who took part in the procession included Radheshyam Das, Manish Kumar, Kishun Das, Ajay Das, Bhagi Das, Sanoj Bhuiyan, Durga Das, Kailash Das, Sunny, Vicky, Sunil, Kedar, Hiraman, Baldev, Rajesh Mehtar, Kishun Das, Golu, Amar, Ravi, Manju, Lilo, Sarita, Munni, Tunuwa, Meena, Saviya, Ritu, Devanti, Leela, Malo, Meena, Amala, Renu, Chandwa, Kavita and dozens of daily wage earners and outsourced sanitation workers.
