Dear Comrades,

                 National Secretariat meeting of the Confederation of Central Govt. Employees & Workers held at New Delhi on 04-07-2019, after reviewing the entire scenario prevailing in the Central Government Employees sector, has decided to organise phased programme of action for settlement of the long pending demands  of the Central Government Employees and Pensioners.  The “Big Bang” neo-liberal reforms that are being unleashed by the BJP-led NDA Government has seriously jeopardised the job security, wage security, social security and Trade Unon rights of the Central Govt. employees and other sections of workers in general.

                 Our efforts to organise joint programme of action of all Central Govt. employees (including Railways and Defence) under the banner of NJCA has not yielded positive response from the dominant leadership of the NJCA.  All the Defence employees Federations have joined together and given notice to Govt. for one month long definite strike from 20-08-2019 to 19-09-2019 demanding withdrawal of the move to corporatise/privatise Ordnance Factories.  Eventhough the major Railway Federations viz; AIRF & NFIR has not yet given call for serious agitational programmes against the proposed move of the Government to Corporatise/Privatise Railway Production Units (Coach factories etc.), closure of Railway Printing Presses and introduction of private passenger trains in selected routes through Public Private Partnership (PPP), all other Unions/Associations like All India Loco-Running Staff Association (AILRSA), Guard Council, Dakshin Railway Employees Union (DREU) etc. had already given call for nationwide agitational programmes. All the Central Trade Unions (except BMS) has also given call for joint protest demonstrations and Rallies against the anti-worker labour law reforms and privatisation spree of the Modi Government. Confederation of Central Govt. Employees and Workers, being a part of the mainstream of the working class of our country, shall join all the programmes announced by the Central Trade Unions.  Further National Secretariat has decided to extend full support and solidarity to the struggles of Railway, Defence, BSNL employees and the agitational programmes conducted by the affiliates of Confederation.

Confederation calls upon all the Affiliated organisations and State/District level C-O-Cs to organise the above mentioned two phased agitational programmes on 5th September 2019 and 15th October, 2019 and conduct campaign programmes among all Central Govt. employees to educate them on the impending dangers of the neo-liberal reforms vigorously pursued by the NDA Govt. and be ready to jumb into higher form of trade union action, if situation warrants.  Wide publicity may be given through print, electronic and social media. Confederation’s 10 point charter of demands is enclosed to this circular.  Next course of action will be decided by the next National Secretariat meeting scheduled to be held in October/November 2019.  Copy of the memorandum to be submitted to the Hon’ble Prime Minister on 05-09-2019 will be published in the Confederation website.  Copies of the same may be submitted to all Head of Departments and Head of Offices at All India/State/District level by the affiliated organisations and C-O-Cs.

2019 SEPTEMBER 19th - 51st ANNIVERSARY DAY OF 1968 SEPTEMBER 19th CENTRAL GOVT. EMPLOYEES HISTORIC ONE DAY STRIKE - OBSERVE AS “MARTYRS DAY”
2019 September 19th is the 51st Anniversary day of historic 1968 September 19th one day All India Strike of Central Govt. Employees demanding Need Based Minimum wage and 100% Neutralisation of DA.  Govt. has unleashed brutal force of Military, CRPF and Police and as a result, 17 comrades lost their lives in Police firing, lathi charge etc.  About 40000 employees were suspended and dismissed.  Thousands of leaders and workers jailed.  Thousands suffered due to severe punishments and vindictive transfers.  Recognition of all Federations and Unions participated in the strike was withdrawn and Govt. sponsored organisations were given recognition.  Confederation National Secretariat calls upon all Affiliated organisastions and C-O-Cs to observe 19th September 2019 as “Martyrs Day” remembering those valiant fighters who laid down their life for the posterity.  Gate meetings, flag hoisting, slogan shouting and honouring martyrs by erecting martyrs columns etc. may be organised.  Last year we have celebrated the 50th anniversary of the 1968 September 19th strike, throughout the country in a most befitting manner. 

Fraternally yours,
