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 in 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.

Give the State an option:-
1) Retire at 60 but pension will be the minimum employ pension, that of the class 4 employee.
2) If they want 58 years to be the retirement age No children of their's will be employed in the Govt. service.
3)There will be no claim for the 50% pension of the spouse after his/her death.
Enough for the time being.
Hai Aswin, thank you for joining.
