Imphal, November 17 2010:
Demanding implementation of revised UGC pay scale in toto, the Working Committee for College Teachers, Manipur has categorically stated that it would not accept the reported Cabinet approval in implementation of pay structure for Government college teachers, if there is any deviation from the revised UGC pay structure.
In a statement jointly signed by its co-ordinators N Kishorechand Singh and N Rajen Singh, the Working Committee said that it would not endorse any form of negotiation carried out by any other representatives/forums of the college teachers in Manipur with the Government of Manipur, if the terms of the negotiation or conclusion thus arrived at run short of the revised UGC pay structure and service norms.
The Working Committee would not accept the implementation of a downgraded pay band which does not run in consonance with the UGC pay scale norms for the college and university teachers, the statement made it clear, adding that the Committee shall fight against any policy that intends to appease a section of interest group.
