HYDERABAD: Outsourced employees of the health department conducted a protest at the district medical and health iffice at Koti on Thursday, demanding permanent employment through regularisation of their jobs.
In the protest organised by Telangana United Medical and Health Employees Union, tens of employees gathered to protest. Police stopped the protestors, denied them entry into the office and later arrested them.
Speaking to Deccan Chronicle, union general secretary K. Yada Nayak said, “Contractual employees are being exploited by not paying them minimum wages and regularising them. We are demanding the government to regularise all the outsourced and contract employees in the health department.”
“We urge the government to also reduce workload for employees and remove the additional burdens caused by target achievement programs”, Nayak added.
