KARACHI: Regularization of jobs urged

Published December 2, 2002

KARACHI, Dec 1: Over 200 temporary employees of the Allied Bank of Pakistan have urged the authorities to regularize their services.

The low-grade employees, who have been working with the bank for the last many years as computer operators, typists, cashiers, peons, etc., said that while many other organizations were regularizing their temporary workers, the Allied Bank was not doing the same.

They said that on the one hand the bank was hiring many people on high salaries on a permanent basis while on the other the low-grade workers, many of them had not been made permanent, despite the fact that many of them have worked for nearly 15 years.
