The demand came from a press conference organised by Bangladesh Class Four Government Employees Association at the Jatiya Press Club.
Terming the proposed pay scale discriminatory, acting president of the association Md Aminur Rahman said the difference between scales of officers is in between Tk 5000 and 10,000, whereas the gap between the scales of employees is only few hundred.

Additional secretary general Md Abul Hossain said, "We pressed our demand to the finance minister and he assured us to settle the issue."
They also urged the government for continuation of timescale and 100 per cent selection grade for the low-tier public servants who have limited scopes for promotions.
