CITU Protests Unpaid Wages of Sanitation Workers in Schools
Imagine you work hard to clean schools to keep them healthy for students.
But, you haven't been paid for three whole months!
That's what's happening to sanitation workers in some government schools.
The CITU union is upset and organized a protest to help these workers.
They want their money now, paid directly into their bank accounts.
They also want proper benefits like insurance and a decent minimum wage so they can feed their families.
The workers say that they were sometimes paid for only eight months in the previous year even though they worked all year.
The union warns that only through protest and unity will the workers achieve justice.
CITU protested in front of the District Collector’s office regarding unpaid wages.
Sanitation workers in government schools are owed three months of back pay.
CITU demands direct deposit of wages and provision of sanitation materials.
The union seeks PF, ESI benefits and a ₹26,000 minimum wage.
Workers face potential wage seizure due to payment routing and commission demands.
