Kerala State employees strike against Contributory Pension

The Kerala State Govt. Employees will go on strike from 7th January 2013 against the Kerala government decision to implement Contributory Pension Scheme for its employees instead of the existing Statutory Pension.The Kerala Cabinet took the anti-worker decision today, which will be implemented from 1st April 2013.
The Central Government has already implemented a similar scheme w.e.f. 01-01-2004. Except the Left ruled states of Tripura, W.Bengal and Kerala, all the other states also implemented it. Now after the UDF government came in Kerala, it has also implemented this disastrous Scheme. The State Govt. employees and Teachers’ organisations have declared strike from 7th January demanding reversal of the Scheme.
