He said stenographers association and ministerial staff of chief medical office today extended their support to the strike.
"So far, there is no indication on the part of the government to hold talks," Tiwari said.
If the government does not concede to their demands, some employees of essential services, including roadways, power and health would also join the agitation from November 15, he said.
The employees are demanding assured promotion or promotion scale, pension benefits and removal of anomalies in salary and allowances. They have given the strike call after several rounds of talks with the state government in this regard failed.
There are 18 lakh government employees, of which around 60% are likely to take part in the strike.
