Speaking to Telangana Today, TEA president Dr P Vishnuvardhan said several daily wage employees have been waiting for several years for a pay hike. “We have urged the varsity management to hike wages by 50 per cent and implement the orders with effect from April 1, 2018 and also increase the wages of lumpsum, casual and other cadre employees by 50 per cent  and  implement the same with effect from  June 1, 2018,” he said, adding that temporary employees should be given ‘time-scale’ salary considering the ‘Equal pay for Equal work’ model.

“If a daily wage employee or a lump-sum employee or other cadre employee dies while in the service, the kin of the deceased should be given a regular job on compassionate grounds, and the lump sum and causal employees, who completed 10 years, should be promoted as the daily wage employees,” he added.

Dr Vsihnuvardhan said that they had met Prof M Rajeshwar, EC member and Professor in English at his chamber in the department of English and submitted a memorandum to him. “We have also met other EC members with the same plea,” he added. President, KUDWEA, N Shivaprasad, and President, SDLCEEU, Dr S Srinivas and others were among the team that met the EC members.
