They said all types of temporary workers who have been in various departments for more than 25 years on meagre salaries which is not sufficient for them.

“The daily wagers are the frontline workers in every calamity and are working on the same parameters and capabilities as that of regular employees and to regularize them is not only the obligation of the Government but also the genuine right of the daily wagers,” the protestors said.

It was also put forth that regularization of the daily wagers is not a new agenda of the association but it has been there for decades.

“The previous Governments have time and again made agreements with the EJAC leadership regarding the regularization of daily wagers but till now, nothing has come out of it,” the hand-out said.

Also the daily wagers and all types of temporary workers have been continuously given a cold shoulder by the government which has forced the EJAC to come out on streets and protest for their rights.(PTK)
