The National Mazdoor Conference (NMC) today urged the Centre to initiate process for constituting seventh Pay Commission and hold discussion with representatives of both central and state government employees in this regard.
"A notification for constitution of the 7th Pay Commission is the need of the hour, which is bound to have bearing on about one crore employees and pensioners, both in central as well as state governments," Subhas Shastri, NMC president said while addressing a May Day rally here.
"50 per cent of DA should be forthwith merged into basic pay and pension," he said adding, 20 per cent interim relief and 8 per cent DA instalment, with effect from January 2013, should be sanctioned as early as possible in favour of state government employees and pensioners.
Shastri also insisted on time bound implementation of policy for regularisation of daily wagers, who have completed seven years of service in March 2012.
Monthly emoluments of daily wagers should be raised to Rs 10,000 per month, Shastri stressed.
