Demand of government staff unjust








It is the never ending demand of Kerala government employees including school- college teachers to get their retirement age raised from the current 55 years. Their demand is unjust and unfair as the state has 4.3 million educated unemployed.
The main grievance of the employees is that Kerala is the only state in the country where state government employees and school and college teachers retire at 55 years and other states, the retirement age is 58 years. Nevertheless they deliberately hide the situation that Kerala is only State where the percentage of job seekers is the highest. According to the latest economic review tabled in the state assembly early this year, the number of job seekers till June 2010 stood at 4.32 million, including 161,641 professional and technical workers and 4.16 million others.
