BCS cadres announce full-day strike on Sunday
The 25 cadre officers will observe a full-day strike on Sunday to demand the withdrawal of the suspension orders issued to 12 BCS.
The 25 cadre officers will observe a full-day strike on Sunday to demand the withdrawal of the suspension orders issued to 12 BCS officers due to their posts on Facebook and to address the issue of inter-cadre discrimination.This announcement was made during a press briefing by Muhammad Mafizur Rahman, the coordinator of the Inter-Cadre Discrimination Resolution Committee, at the Agricultural Information Service conference room in Khamarbari, Dhaka, on Saturday.He said: "On Sunday, the 25 cadres will observe a full-day strike nationwide. All services will be halted, except for emergency services. If the issues are not resolved within the next week, we will be forced to take more severe actions. We hope the concerned authorities will take steps to resolve the problems."
He also mentioned that on Sunday, from 10:30am to 11:30am, the officers will stand in front of their respective offices, wearing black badges and holding banners.The meeting also discussed proposals to remove the education and health sectors from the cadres, suggesting changes in the recruitment process so that, over time, education and health would be gradually removed from the mainstream.Additionally, the proposal to exclude the family planning cadre and unjustly remove the statistics cadre from the service was criticized.
These measures are expected to reduce the attraction of talented individuals to these sectors, leading to a shortage of talent.The meeting also highlighted that one of the key criteria for assessing an individual’s intelligence is mathematical skills.Other proposals included renaming "Administrative Service" to "Land Service" or "Land Management Service," and renaming the Ministry of Public Administration to the Ministry of Human Resource Management or the Ministry of Government Employee Management.
