Government employees and teachers in Kerala are going to have strike owing allegiance to pro-Left service organizations from January 8 following failure of talks held by Chief Minister Oommen Chandy with union leaders today.
Though Chandy made it clear that the PPS would not in any way affect the salary or pension of the existing staff, it failed to make any breakthrough on the stand of pro-Left service organizations, sources said.

On the apprehension raised by employees on the suggestions of the Public Expenditure Committee recommendations that pay revision should be made only once ten years, Chandy said the present way of revising the pay once in five years would continue. However, Chandy categorically said government cannot go back on its decision to introduce the PPS from April 1.

Government of Kerala is also not considering to increase the age of retirements – Chandy Said
