The workers demanded pension and other retirement benefits also for all fair price shop employees. Claiming that a number of PACCS were operating in loss, resulting in delay of salaries for the fair price shop employees, they appealed to the government to directly disburse their salaries every month without delay. Highlighting that a large number of vacancies in the fair price shops had not been filled, the employees demanded additional salary for workers handling more responsibilities due to shortage of manpower. Members of the south zone of Tamil Nadu State Primary Cooperative Bank All Employees’ Association took out a rally to Madurai Collectorate on Monday, highlighting wage revision, filling of vacancies and other such long pending demands of employees working in fair price shops run by Primary Agricultural Cooperative Credit Societies (PACCS). Workers from Madurai, Sivaganga, Ramanathapuram, Virudhunagar, Thoothukudi, Tirunelveli and Kanniyakumari districts took part in the rally.
