Fifth pay panel salaries still elude coop staff

JODHPUR: Amid preparations by the state government to implement the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission, there are a few who are still struggling to get the salary benefits recommended by the Fifth Pay Commission, which was implemented in 1996.

The employees belonging to ‘Jodhpur Cooperative Consumer Wholesale Depot’ have raised their voices from time to time and have even won court cases, but a government nod is still eluding them.

In fact, like Jodhpur, the salaries of the employees of none of the depots across the state is commensurate with the Fifth Pay Commission.

According to Vikram Singh, secretary of the employees association, it is ironic that other wings of the cooperative department like the Rajasthan State Cooperative Consumer Federation Limited and the Rajasthan State Sale Purchase Cooperative Federation Limited and Dairy have been granted the salary benefits as per the recommendations of Fifth Pay Commission by the registrar’s office but only this particular wing across the entire state has been given a step-motherly treatment in spite of registering remarkable success continuously.
