First of all update ur knowledge on an issue & then speak on it. Reasons why govt. employees must get a decent hike: 1) Govt. employees are getting pay revision after 10yrs only. So pay now decided would be for next 10 yrs. 2) pay revision is pending since 1 jan, 2007. So market was really booming at that time & ur so called "mandi" i.e. recession has hit only now. 3) as far as hard work or that is concerned , you first go to any professional govt. company like Indian Oil, ONGC etc. the u will c under what conditions they are working
Now everyone is free to decide upon the matter.....!!!!!
