more-in The government has invited Municipal Workers’ Joint Action Committee spearheading the 11-day State-wide sanitation workers’ strike, seeking the annulment of G.O. 279, GVMC Contract Workers’ Union honorary president P. Venkata Reddy, a member of the JAC, said. The talks will be held at the Secretariat on Monday morning. Earlier in the day, Municipal Commissioner M. Hari Narayanan held discussions with the leaders of the striking union and other trade unions. He appealed to them to call off the stir in view of the problems faced by people. The G.O. 279 is yet to be implemented in the limits of the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation,” Mr. Hari Narayanan said. The sanitation in the city has gone for a toss as the outsourced workers have been abstaining from their duties. However, Mr. Reddy and another leader Subba Rao made it clear that the ongoing strike would not be called off, unless the G.O. issue was resolved in consultation with the Municipal Workers’ JAC. Representatives of Staff and Workers Association, HMS and YSRC Trade Union participated in the meeting.
