Gate meetings underway in preparation for the July 7 convention organized by the Federation of UT Employees and Workers, Chandigarh.
Chandigarh 2 July ( Ranjeet Singh Dhaliwal ) : In preparation for the convention scheduled for July 7, 2026, the Federation of UT Employees and Workers, Chandigarh, held gate meetings today at the Horticulture Booth in Sector 8 and the Electricity Office in Sector 18. Addressing the employees, Federation leaders—including President Gopal Dutt Joshi, General Secretary Harkesh Chand, Vice President and National Executive Member M.M. Subramaniam, and UT Power Man Union Senior Vice President Sukhvinder Singh Sidhu, along with Gurmeet Singh, Virendra Singh, Surjit Singh, Harjinder Singh, Ayyappan, and Baldev Singh—appealed to the staff to participate in large numbers in the convention. This convention is being organized at Bhakna Bhawan, Sector 29, on July 7, 2026, at the call of the Joint Employees' Front.
Federation office-bearers strongly criticized the Chandigarh Administration and the Municipal Corporation authorities, stating that the employees' problems are continuously escalating due to the administration and corporation's negative and anti-employee approach. Instead of resolving demands through dialogue, the administration maintains a negative stance, leaving numerous long-standing demands unaddressed. 
These include: regularizing all daily-wage and contract employees who have completed 10 years of service; bringing outsourced employees directly under the administration or a government agency (instead of the GeM portal) to ensure job security until retirement; implementing the principle of "equal pay for equal work"; restoring the old pension scheme; promptly filling vacant promotional posts; immediately releasing retirement benefits; revoking dismissal and retirement orders for crèche staff; absorbing employees transferred from the Electricity Department to a private company into other departments; cancelling the decision to hand over Horticulture Department parks and green belts to private societies via MoUs; granting DC rates to Anganwadi, crèche, and mid-day meal workers; providing uniforms, oil/soap, and children's allowances; extending CGHS facilities; and raising the ESI and bonus eligibility limit to ₹50,000. Speakers urged all employees to make the convention scheduled for July 7, 2026, a success.
