DATED - 07.07.2016
STRIKE
IS DEFERRED,
BUT THE STRUGGLE SHALL CONTINUE
Finally, the united struggle of 33
lakhs Central Government Employees under the banner of National Joint Council
of Action (NJCA) comprising Railways, Defence and Confederation has compelled
the totally negative and unwilling NDA Government to negotiate with the staff
side leaders. Hon’ble Prime Minister has intervened and directed three Cabinet
Minsters viz. Home Minister Shri Rajnath Singh, Finance Minister Shri Arun
Jaitly and Railway Minister Shri Suresh Prabhu to hold discussion with the NJCA
Leaders on 30th June 2016. After discussing the demands raised in
the Charter of demands, the Ministers assured that a high level committee will
be constituted to consider the demands raised by NJCA especially the demand for
improving the minimum wage and fitment formula.
As no written communication or
minutes regarding the assurances given by Group of Ministers is forthcoming,
the NJCA met again and 6th July and decided to go ahead with the
strike decision. Again Home Minister Shri Rajnath Singh called the NJCA leaders
for discussion on 6th July and reiterated the assurances already
given on 30th June and stated that the Finance Minister will issue a
press statement on 6th July itself confirming the assurances given
by the Group of Ministers. It was further assured by the Minister that the
proposed High level committee will submit its recommendations to Government within
a time frame.
Accordingly, the Government issued
the press statement and after detailed deliberations the NJCA unanimously
decided to defer the indefinite strike till the committee finalizes its report.
The press statement of the NJCA and the Government are attached.
