26th NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF CONFEDERATION

 2020 FEBRUARY 7th & 8th NAGPUR (MAHARASHTRA)

REPORT

                   26th National conference of the Confederation of Central Government Employees and workers was held successfully at Jawahar Vidyarthi Sabha Gruha, Near MLA Hostel, Civil Lines, Nagpur on 7th and 8th February 2020. The Conference hall was named as "Com. A.B Burdhan Nagar" in memory of the great leader of Trade Union and working class of India, Late Com. A.B. Burdhan. The manch of the conference  hall was named as "Com.Sukomal Sen Manch'' in memory of  Late Com.Sukomal Sen, who was General Secretary/President of All India State Government Employees Federation and Vice President  CITU. The  Reception  Committee under the able and dynamic Leadership of Com. R.K. Shrivastava (Chairman) and Com. Nilesh.D.Nasare (General Secretary, Reception Committee & GS, COC Vidarbha Region, Maharashtra) made excellent arrangements for the successful conducting of the historic 26th Nagpur National conference.

Inaugural Session/Open Session:

                   The National  Conference commenced on 7th February 2020 morning with flag hoisting ceremony. Com. K.K.N Kutty, National President, Confederation, hoisted the Confederation flag. Tribute to martyrs was paid by offering flowers at the Martyrs column by Chief Guests, Leaders, delegates and observers.

                   The open session ( Inaugural session) commenced at 11 AM. Com. K.K.N Kutty presided. Com. Nilesh D.Nasare, General, Secretary, COC & Reception Committee delivered Introductory speech. Com.R.K.Shrivastava Chairman, Reception Committee delivered welcome address.  Com: Tapan Sen, General Secretary, CITU and Com. Amarjeet Kaur, General Secretary, AITUC addressed the open session as Chief Guests.

                   Both the Leaders explained in detail the present Political and economic scenario of  the country and the world. The leaders stated that the BJP-led NDA Government has devastated the Country’s economy and the people of our country and the working class are suffering. The growth in the agricultural, industrial and service sectors are sliding down and lakhs of people have become jobless. Protests against the destructive neo liberal polices are increasing and participation of workers in both sectoral and general strikes are also increasing. About more than 25 crores workers, both organised and unorganised participated in the strike on 8th January 2020.  The Kisans and agricultural workers extended full support to the strike.

                   The BJP led NDA Government is going ahead with  aggressive communal agenda to  divide the people and the Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 is passed in  Parliament for further polarisation on communal lines. But the people came out in protest in large numbers irrespective of caste or Religion. The students are in the forefront of the struggle. The BJP Government is becoming more and more authoritarian and is  suppressing the dissent of the people and students who are  on struggle path, by using brute force.

                   Both the leaders called upon the Central Government Employees to intensify their struggle against the neo-liberal policies of the Government  and also against the attack on their job security, wages , Social security and Trade Union rights.

                   The open session was also addressed by Com. Subhash Lamba, All India President of AISGEF, Com:R.N Patne ( LICEU), and Com. V.V. Assai, (BEFI). Vote of thanks was offered by Com. P.U Khadse, President, C-O- C, Nagpur.

CONFEDERATION OF CENTRAL GOVT EMPLOYEES & WORKERS

POLICY AND PROGRAMME RESOLUTION

(Adopted in the 26th National Conference held at Nagpur on

7th & 8th February 2020)

1      This 26th  National Conference of Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers, held at  Nagpur on 7th & 8th February 2020, after detailed deliberations has come to the unanimous conclusion that the attitude of the NDA Government in  power at Centre is completely negative towards the genuine and legitimate demands of the Central Government employees including Gramin Dak Sevaks and casual/contract workers. None of the 7th CPC related modifications sought by the JCM National Council, staffside, is settled. The assurance given to the leaders of  the National Joint Council of Action (NJCA) regarding increase in Minimum pay and fitment formula is not honoured and the employees and pensioners are betrayed.

2.     The New contributory Pension Scheme (NPs) has in effect become "No pension Scheme".  Inspite of Several memorandums and petitions submitted and also agitational programmes including strikes, the Central Government is not ready to scrap NPS and  restore OPS and also to guarantee 50%  of the last pay drawn as Minimum pension.

3.     About seven lakhs posts are lying vacant in various Central Government departments. Though the Government repeatedly states that there is no ban on recruitments and filling up of direct recruitment quota vacancies, no time bound action is taken to fill up the vacant posts.

4.     HRA arrears, MACP  Bench mark, MACP hierarchical promotional pay scale, and date of effect from 01-01-2006, option- I for pensioners -- Government is not ready to reconsider its negative stand. Three  lakhs  Gramin Dak Sevaks of the Postal  department are yet to be treated as Civil Servants.  Exploitation of casual and contract workers continue and equal pay for equal work is denied to them.

5.     Large scale outsourcing, downsizing, closure of establishments, Corporatisation, and privatisation has become the order of the day.  Privatisation of Railways and mass scale outsourcing of the work done by the Defence Civilian employees are in full swing.  Proposal to corporatize defence ordnance factories is not yet dropped.  12 out of 17 Govt. of India Printing Presses are ordered to be closed.  Same is the fate with other departmental printing presses including Railway Printing presses.

6.     Autonomous body employees and Pensioners are denied their rightful pay and pension revision in certain departments, due to stringent conditions imposed by the Finance Ministry.  Compassionate appointments have become a mirage due to the 5% ceiling imposed.

7.     Trade Union facilities are denied.  Orders banning demonstrations and dharnas are issued.  The draconian FR 56 (j) and Pension Rules 48 are misused as a short cut to punish and victimise employees who are not in the good book of higher-ups. JCM forums have become mere talking shops without any positive outcome.  Recognition under CCS(RSA) Rules 1993 are delayed and Departmental council meetings have become defunct in many departments.  Government sponsored unions are given undue patronage.  Recognition of fighting organisations are withdrawn on flimsy grounds and Trade Union facilities are denied to the Chief Executives of Recognised Associations.  To throttle the democratic functioning of the Unions, the Government of India has now proposed to restrict the tenure of office of the elected representatives of Unions/Associations/Federations of Government employees. 

8.     This Conference has taken serious note of the continuing onslaughts on the independence and democratic functioning of the constitutional institutions in the Country, the steps taken to create a fear psychosis amongst the people, especially amongst minorities, the conscious disruption of the secular social fabric of the society assiduously built over the years, the receding confidence in the independence of judiciary in the country and above all the concerted endeavour to fan the communal feelings to cover up the failure on economic front and the growing unemployment, inflation, rise in prices of essential commodities etc.

9.     This National Conference is of the considered opinion that the wage revision of Central Govt. employees should be once in five years, as in the case of many public sector undertakings and certain State Governments.  The last wage revision of Central Govt. employees had taken place with effect from 01-01-2016.  Five years will be over by 31-12-2020.  Also taking into consideration the fact that the 7th CPC Wage Revision was the worst wage revision, it is high time that the Government initiate the process for appointing next Central Pay Commission i.e., 8th CPC, so that the Pay, Allowances and Pensionary benefits of Central Govt. Employees will be revised with effect from 01-01-2021.

10.   Taking into consideration all the above demands and issues which are agitating the minds of 32 lakhs Central Govt. Employees and 33 lakhs Central Govt. Civilian pensioners, this 26th National Conference of Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers, resolve to organise following agitational programmes for realisation of the long pending 10 points charter of demands submitted to Government by Confederation. (copy of the charter of demands enclosed).

Programme of Action:

1. Demands Day in March 2020.

2. Intensive Campaign among employees in the month of April, 2020.

3. One day mass dharna in the month of May 2020.

4. National Convention of Central Govt. Employees in the month of August, 2020.

5. Massive Parliament March in the month of September/October, 2020.

11.   As other Central Government Employees organisations and All India State Government Employees Federation are also organising similar programmes, this National Conference authorises the National Secretariat of the Confederation to keep in touch with like-minded organisations and explore the possibility of organising united action programmes on Minimum agreed demands, with “Scrap NPS and Restore OPS” as the main demand.
