All the three officially recognised employees’ unions of All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Delhi have jointly announced they would go on an indefinite strike from October 25 if their 47-point charter of demands, which includes pay hike and appointment, is not met.

The presidents of the three unions – AIIMS Nurses Unions’ Harish Kajla, Karamchari Union’s Satprakash Kalia and Officers Association’s Ajeet Singh – said that they have had several meetings with the administration but their grievances were still pending.

The unions have demanded the implementation of AIIMS Regulation 35 in all employee matters without taking the approval of the Ministry, formation of cadre review committee as there has been no cadre review for the last 30 years, granting of old and new pension scheme, reformation of EHS facilities, enhancement of hospital accommodation, implementation of Kusum Verma Committee recommendations and a monthly meeting with the administration to resolve grievances.
