CONDUCT INTENSIVE CAMPAIGN
AND MAKE THE 4TH APRIL NAGPUR NATIONAL CONVENTION A GRAND SUCCESS
Dear Comrades,
The
Union Cabinet approved the Finance Ministry’s proposal on terms of reference of
the 7th CPC. We have placed
the full text of the same on our website.
None of the suggestions made by the Staff Side was accepted by the
Government.
However,
our concern over the date of effect seems to have been taken note of. The terms of reference has left the effective
date of its recommendations to be decided by the Commission itself. A united stand backed up by struggles will
enable us to clinch this demand in our favour.
Undoubtedly it has been our endeavours and the two days strike action
that has compelled the Government to have a rethinking on their earlier stand
of Decennial (Ten years} wage revision for Central Government employees and the
date of effect as 1/1/2016
Unlike
on the earlier occasion, the Government has not decided to grant Interim Relief
and merger of Dearness allowance. Nor
has it asked the Commission to consider and make appropriate recommendation in
this regard specifically. As pointed out in our earlier communication, inclusion
of a labour representative in the Commission being not an idea the UPA
Government cherishes, for it is diametrically opposite to its economic policies
and ideology, they have stuck to the position of sandwiching the Honourable Judge
with bureaucrats. In the light of the
agreement penned by Com. Mahadeviah, the General Secretary of the recognised GDS
union with the Postal Board to the effect that a separate one man committee
will look into the service conditions of the Grameen Dak Sewaks, it is not
surprising that the Government chose to ignore our demand to cover them within
the ambit of the 7th CPC.
Our demands for parity between the past and present pensioners and
scrapping of the new pension scheme also stand rejected.
As
you are aware, the 6th CPC (and the earlier Commissions also) had
refused to entertain the demand for removal of anomalies despite Government
referring the same to the Commission specifically. Therefore, the omnibus clause in the terms of
reference requiring the Commission to submit interim reports may not be of any
help to us to raise the anomalies before the 7th CPC.
At
the conclusion of the meeting held on 24/10/2013 by Secretary, DoPT, with the
staff side on terms of reference of the 7th CPC, it was agreed that
the Government will consider our suggestion in the matter and will convene
another meeting with the presence of Secretary (Expenditure) to iron out the
differences, if any, and explore the possibilities of an agreement in the
matter. But no such meeting was convened and no attempt was made by the
official side to arrive at an agreed Terms of
Reference.
We
must now react to the arbitrary and unilateral decision of the Government. We appeal all the State Secretaries, District Secretaries and Branch
Secretaries of the affiliated organisations and the State/District COCs to
immediately send the following Savingram to the Prime Minister.
THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES
WORKING IN THE .......
(NAME OF THE STATION)/ OFFICE OF...........................CONDEMN THE
ATTITUDE OF THE GOVERNMENT IN NOT HONOURING ITS COMMITMENT OF HOLDING
DISUCSSION WITH THE STAFF SIDE JCM NATIONAL COUNCIL BEFORE FINALISING THE TERMS

(vii)

(viii)
Settle the anomalies
raised in the National Anomaly Committee
While
the National Convention scheduled to be held at Nagpur will chalk out detailed
and phased programmes of action, we call upon our State Committees and Affiliated
Unions to organise massive demonstration in
front of all offices and important centres on 7th March, 2014 (Friday) or any other immediate convenient
date. Kindly instruct all the Branches to
mobilise their members so that the demonstration has the participation of cent
per cent of the membership of the concerned branch. The State Units and affiliated Unions may
issue pamphlets and posters and ensure its wide circulation throughout the
country.
As
already declared by the National Secretariat of the Confederation, we shall have to go for an indefinite
strike action immediately after the General Election if our demands are to be
settled.
With
Greetings,
Yours
fraternally,
M.
KRISHNAN.
Secretary
General.
