Andhra Pradesh 104 MMU Employees Protest for Better Pay and Conditions
Ongole, Andhra Pradesh – December 23, 2025 – Members of the Andhra Pradesh 104 MMU Employees Union staged a protest in front of the Collectorate at Prakasam Bhavan in Ongole on Tuesday, demanding increased salaries and improved working conditions. The protest, part of a statewide action, follows a previously issued notice to the management regarding the union’s grievances.
Union president A. Srinivasa Rao called on the government to provide 104 MMU employees with casual leave benefits equivalent to those of government employees. He also urged a review of the current pooling system and the reinstatement of 104 buffer staff to alleviate pressure on existing employees. Specific demands included the implementation of salary slabs for drivers with over five years of service and an increase in the monthly salary for data entry operators to ₹18,500, in accordance with Outsourcing G.O. no. 7.
The union has warned that they will escalate their protest if the government fails to address their demands. The protest caused disruption to the 104 MMU services, as employees took mass leave to participate.
