Personnel engaged in preparation of mid-day meals for schoolchildren staged a demonstration in the city on Wednesday for timely release of pending wages besides demanding regularisation of their services. This was part of a State-wide agitation by Karnataka State Federation of Midday Meal Workers affiliated to All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC). The workers said their wages for the months of June and July were pending. As per the scheme, the head cooks were supposed to receive ₹2,700 and the assistant cooks, ₹2,600 per month. This was a honorarium and not regular wages and was impossible for the mid-day meal workers to make their ends meet in present times, said the workers.More Related News
