Govt. cracks down on striking employees
CHENNAI, JANUARY 27, 2019 00:00 IST
Rejects demands citing funds crunch
The State government on Saturday rejected the demands of the striking employees and school teachers affiliated to the Joint Action Council of Tamil Nadu Teachers’ Organisations and Government Employees Organisations (Jactto-Geo), citing a funds crunch.
This left little room for negotiations with the council, which has spearheaded the strike for the past five days.
An early resolution to the stand-off that has impacted classes in government-run institutions appears unlikely. Leaders of Jactto-Geo have declared that their strike would continue till their nine-point charter of demands presented on January 22 are met.
Opposition leaders, including DMK president M.K. Stalin and CPI(M) State secretary K. Balakrishnan, have urged the government to hold talks with the striking employees.
