Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) daily wage employees have been granted a Central Wages order following a long-standing struggle for fair wages. This decision marks a significant achievement for the workers, reflecting their perseverance and collective effort.
Background of the Struggle
The employees engaged in a prolonged campaign to secure wage parity under the Central Wages system. This effort was carried by a dedicated team led by Sahil Amir and his associates from the Jeevangarh area of Aligarh.
Team Efforts and Support
Sahil Amir emphasized that the success belonged to all members involved and was a collective victory rather than the achievement of a single individual. They received crucial assistance from Dr. Dakshita Gadwal, the Assistant Labour Commissioner of Jhansi, whose positive efforts helped move the process forward.
