Movement all around but dont let anyone take advantage

Dear friends,

All around there is movement. A lot of it. Lets see the where this movement takes us. For now, as all of us know, we have sent the Guest Faculty lists required. Mr.Varinder from Tanda was supposed to take the list with some other members to the DPI office. We have been given this understanding that all this is a part of political effort to get continuity for this year, more salary and twelve month (full year employment)basis.

I wish them luck for their effort as anyone's gain is everyone's gain.

But I have a few doubts in my mind.

1. We are never hired, hence we cannot be relived on paper anyway.
2. Even if all faculty is called back and made to join again how will they be paid. After all we are called on "Hourly Basis" on "Availability Of Work". Hence no teaching, no pay
3. I think instead of asking for parity with other staff, we should look to get 
• more salary on basis of the work that exists all the year through in Computer labs and classes as we are not given any other support staff till we don't become full year contractual.
• conversion of our post into contractual and only surplus posts should be advertised in newspapers.

The efforts are all welcome, but the direction should be right also.

NOTE : In the press report(Ajit Newspaper) on meeting on Monday (27-Feb-20011) with Mr.Sewa Singh Sekhwan, it was reported that all staff present there was from PTA fund. Nearly 50% of those present were from PTA(SF). I fear that someone will take advantage of our number with them and we might never be brought to the notice of authorities.It does not feel good to be used like this by others. Read the memorandum and press notes in future before they are issued. Also verbal demands should mention PTA(SF) . Otherwise its no use to us.
