The National Mazdoor Conference (NMC)
today urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to immediately appoint chairman and
other members of the recently-announced 7th Pay Commission at the next cabinet
meeting.
"We
urge the PM to appoint Chairman and other members of the 7th Pay Commission and
take decision in this regard at the next cabinet meeting as employees and
pensioners will be entitled for pay commission with effect from January 1,
2011," NMC president Subash Shastri said while addressing a workers' rally
here today.
He
said discussion should be started with representatives of both central and
state government employees.
The
NMC president said early notification for appointing chairman and other members
of the commission is the need of the hour, which is bound to have bearing on
about one crore employees and pensioners.
Stressing
the need for merging 50 percent DA with basic pay and pension, Shastri appealed
to the PM and the Finance Minister to take an early decision in this regard.
