Andhra Pradesh JAC Amaravati welcomes revival of Monthly Grievance Day for employees
In a statement issued on Thursday, A.P. JAC leaders Bopparaju Venkateswarlu and Palisetti Damodara Rao recalled that employee grievances were largely ignored during the previous administration. This prompted the JAC to launch a 92-day statewide agitation, which culminated in the issuance of Government Order Rt. No. 1233, dated June 24, 2023, mandating the conduct of Grievance Day on the third Friday of every month across all departments and districts. However, the JAC pointed out that the initiative had not been implemented uniformly across the State. In response, the JAC escalated the matter to the Chief Secretary at the Chief Minister's Office on December 5, 2024. The issue was subsequently forwarded to the General Administration Department (GAD) via CMP Note No. 709/Prl Secy/(MRC1)/2024, dated January 6, 2025.
Following this intervention, the GAD issued a memo on July 6, 2025 (Memo No. GAD01/SWODMDS/4/2025-SW), reaffirming that Grievance Day must be held regularly and that all pending employee issues should be resolved within a specified timeframe. Departments have been instructed to conduct fortnightly reviews of complaints and ensure strict adherence to the original 2023 guidelines.

A division bench of Justices KS Mudagal and MGS Kamal passed the order after hearing Deeksha N Amrutesh, counsel for the petitioners, and also counsel representing the govt and road transport corporations (RTCs). "It is submitted that after issuing notice of indefinite strike on July 15, conciliation meetings were held on July 28 and Aug 2, and that process is still on. It is also submitted that today (Monday), the trade unions' JAC meeting with the CM is going on. If the entire public transport operation is stalled, people are likely to be put to hardship.

The JAC of trade unions of KSRTC, led by AITUC-affiliated KSRTC Staff and Workers' Federation, had called for an indefinite strike from August 5, citing various demands, including a 25 per cent pay hike with effect from January 1, 2024, settlement of pending salary arrears for 38 months (January 1, 2020, to February 28, 2023), and wage revision to be in effect for four years (from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2027). On Monday, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah chaired a high-level meeting, along with Transport Minister Ramalinga Reddy, President of the Federation HV Anantha Subbarao, and representatives of the JAC, at Vidhana Soudha. The negotiation meeting lasted for almost three hours. Anantha Subbarao, who addressed the media after the meeting, said that they will go ahead with the strike. 'Chief Minister Siddaramaiah remained non-committal on the 25 per cent wage hike revision from January 1, 2024. As against the clearance of 38 months' salary arrears, CM has agreed to pay only 14 months. Stalemate continued, and we are going ahead with the protest', Anantha Subbarao said.
