PROGRAMMES
Dear Comrades,
The National Secretariat of the Confederation
met at New Delhi on 11.08.2014 to consider the follow up action required in the
matter of some of the pressing issues on which Confederation had organized
series of agitational programmes prior to the commencement of the Election
process of the 16thLok Sabha. The CHQ has received reports from
various affiliates to the effect that they have all endorsed the common
memorandum, the Confederation had submitted to the 7th CPC.
Most of the affiliates have emailed copies of the respective memorandum to the
CHQ. Those who have not sent copies are requested to do so without further loss
of time. This will enable the Confederation to write to the 7th CPC
to provide an opportunity to these organisations to tender oral evidence to
explain and elucidate their submissions in the memorandum.
The meeting noted that there has been
only negative response from the Government on the issues of Interim Relief and
merger of DA. We have already sent to you a copy of our letter addressed to the
Secretary, Staff Side, JCM National Council, (Com. Shivgopal Mishra) which is
yet to be responded. The meeting considered the following issues as important,
the pursuance of which must not brook any delay, especially in the background
that the 7th CPC has formally written to the Government asking
it to indicate the course of action required to be taken on the memorandum of
the staff side on Interim Relief and merger of DA.
CHARTER OF DEMANDS
1. Merger of DA with pay for all employees with
effect from 01.01.2014
including Gramin Dak sewaks and pensioners.
2. Grant of Interim Relief to all employees
including Gramin Dak Sewaks and Pensioners.
3. Inclusion of Gramind Dak sevaks under the
purview of
7th Central pay Commission.
4. Scrap PFRDA Act and grant of statutory pension
to all.
5. Date of effect of 7th CPC
recommendations should be 01.01.2014.
6. Regularisation and revision of wages of
casual
laboures and contract workers.
7. Removal of 5% condition for compassionate
appointments.
8. Fill up al vacant posts and creation of new
posts wherever justified.
9. Stop downsizing, outsourcing,
contractorisation and
privatisation of Government functions.
10. Grant Productivity linked Bonus to all without
ceiling;
compute Bonus as weighted average of PLB for
those not covered by PLB
agreement.
11. Revise OTA and NDA and implement arbitration
awards.
The meeting also considered the policy
perception of the new Government in the light of the administrative price hike
in petroleum products, the proposals in the Railway and General Budget, the
steep hike in the freight and passenger fares of Railways, the decision to hike
FDI in Defence Production, Railway Infrastructure and Insurance sectors,
disinvestment of public sector including nationalized banks and have come to
the inescapable conclusion that under Narendra Modi dispensation, the
neo-liberal policies, as expected, will only be intensified and the promised
“Achche Din” is for the Corporate giants of the country. The last session of
the Parliament witnessed the determination of the NDA Government in changing
the labour laws on the lines of the enactment made by Rajasthan Government of
Vasundhara Raje Scindhia by virtue of which in almost 90% of the manufacturing
units in India, the employers are permitted to indulge in hire and fire policy,
for the existing regulations will be dispensed with.
The meeting came to the decision that
the confederation must organise serious and prolonged campaign, preferably in
unison with the Railway and Defence Federations. We will pursue our
consultation with those Federations to reach a common approach in the matter.
Since it might take some more time, the meeting decided to pursue the demands
through a demonstrative programme.
