The Andhra Pradesh Teachers Federation has threatened to launch an agitation if the state government fails to address long-standing financial and service demands. Key requests include the constitution of a new Pay Revision Commission and the resolution of pending salary and promotion issues.
Why it matters
Labor disputes involving public sector employees can significantly impact state administration and educational services.
Andhra Pradesh Teachers Federation (APTF) State president G. Hrudaya Raju on Sunday demanded that the coalition government immediately address the financial and service-related issues of teachers, employees and pensioners, and warned of another agitation if their demands continued to be ignored.
Addressing the APTF Kurnool district executive committee meeting, Mr. Raju said the government had completed two years in office but had failed to resolve the long-pending financial demands of teachers, employees and pensioners. He urged the government to invite employee and teachers’ associations for discussions and resolve their grievances.
Mr. Raju demanded the immediate constitution of the 12th Pay Revision Commission and sanction of 30% interim relief. He also sought payment of pending Dearness Allowance (DA), arrears under the 11th PRC, Earned Leave (EL) encashment dues pending since 2022, five new instalments of DA and payment in cash of DA arrears due to CPS employees.
