The contract workers (MMCRI) of the Mysore Medical College and Institute protested on Saturday on Saturday of salary and salary differences due to errors in the biometric system.
Workers from the All-India Union Trade Union Centre (AIUTUC) including health workers, ward attendants and safety personnel gathered in front of the dean’s office to urge them to request.
About 700 to 800 contract workers participated by about eight different private institutions in the past three months have not received wages due, said Janandolanagala Mahamaithri and Ugra Narasimhe Gowda of Sarvodaya Karnataka, who participated in the demonstration.
A statement issued by the Mysuru branch of AIUTUC said there are differences in the salary of contract workers due to alleged mistakes made in the biometric system. Workers demand immediate payment of pending wages and differences in salary.
Meanwhile, notices sent to the Dean by the MMCRI Contract Workers Alliance have requested immediate enforcement of statutory benefits, leave facilities, pending wages, arrears from the arrears funds and the salary of outsourced workers employed by the MMCRI.
The union claims that private institutions that outsource workers are insecure by depriving basic facilities, denying minimum wages, employees’ state insurance, employees’ preset funds, holiday salaries and other safety equipment prescribed for outsourcing workers.
It also noted that the minimum wage for local institutional workers in the city should be applied to outsourced sanitation workers in colleges and hotels. For those working in cafeterias, utilities and nursing centers, minimum wages in the hospital and nursing home industries should be applied. Similarly, safety personnel working in all institutions working under MMCRI shall be provided for the minimum wage determined by the safety agency industry.
As unions require contractors or MMCRI to pay differential wage arrears, wages paid in the past decade are less than the amount prescribed by the above-mentioned program industry, and the unions require payment.
It further requires the provision of necessary uniforms, safety equipment for outsourced workers, in addition to the monthly washing allowance of Rs 1,000.
