The JAC of All Manipur Trade Union Council (AMTUC) and All Manipur Government Employees Organisation (AMGEO) on December 31 last submitted an ultimatum to the Manipur Chief Minister with a warning of launching ceasework strike from next day if the government fails to issue order with regard to the implementation of the sixth Pay Commission’s recommendation by January 15 .

The JAC members are launching its campaign from department to department from today with regard to the ultimatum served by them to the Chief Minister.
They campaigned today to the offices located in Imphal area.
Governments of the neighbouring states of Assam and Mizoram had already announced switching the pay structures of sixth pay commission.
Chief Minister of Manipur, O Ibobi Singh, on April 2009 during an election rally had assured that the Sixth Pay Commission recommendations would be implemented in the state from 2010 and backlogged salary of government employees would also be disbursed from April 13 .
He said that the government is aware of the protest by the government employees and added that the Sixth Pay Commission recommendation was delayed as state resources were very low.
But after the 13th finance commission awards in 2010 it should be possible to implement the recommendations.
