APPEAL TO ALL DAE EMPLOYEES
TO PARTICIPATE IN
THE STRIKE BALLOT
ON 04.02.2016
“IF YOU DON’T FIGHT FOR WHAT YOU WANT,
DON’T CRY FOR WHAT YOU LOST”
Dear
colleagues,
As you all aware that the 7th
Central Pay Commission (CPC) submitted its report to the Government of India on
19th November 2015. The Government in turn constituted an empowered
committee of Secretaries with the Cabinet Secretary as the Chairman to review
the recommendations of 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC). An
Implementation Cell in the Department of Expenditure also formed and directed
all Ministries/Departments to appoint a Jt. Secretary as the Nodal Officer to
interact with the Implementation Cell which is the Secretariat for the
empowered committee.
Though the visual media as well as print
media out cried that the 7 CPC extended bonanza for the entire central government
employees and they are going to get multiple fold salary hike and so on, the
entire Central Government employees of the country are annoyed with the worst
ever recommendations in the history of pay
revisions by the 7th CPC and spontaneous reaction has came out in
the nuke and corner of the country and termed the report is an engineered
report for the behest of Government of India.
In response to the call from National Joint
Council of Action (NJCA), the apex level joint forum of entire Central
Government Employees of Railways, Defence, Postal, Income Tax, Audit &
Accounts, Atomic Energy, Space, Civil Accounts, and all other Central
Government Departments came out for protest programme and campaign against the
retrograded recommendations of 7th CPC.
What is the real impact on salary, allowances
and other facilities of the employees after the implementation of the recommendations
of 7 CPC?
·
Based
on the manipulated data and deviating/diluting the 15th ILC norms,
Minimum Pay has been lowered as much the Pay Commission can
·
Thus
the multiple factor becomes lowest ever and fixation benefit has not been given
as in the earlier occasions.
·
A
meager 14% increase in salary is awarded which is the lowest ever increase in
pay by any Pay Commission to Central Government employees.
·
After
the independence central government employees got 6 pay revisions.
Each time in the earlier occasions, the
benefit of Pay & Allowances were given gradual increased by the subsequent
pay commissions. From 3rd CPC to 6th CPC due to the
gradual increase, the benefit of Pay
hike for the employees were from 20% to 48%. Where as the 7th CPC brought
back to the level of 2nd Pay Commission recommendation by declaring
meager 14% hike in salary
·
The
7th pay Commission could not retain the take home salary of 6th
CPC in their recommendations The fact is that the take home salary of the
employees’ shall be reduced drastically from that of 31st December
2015 for all Group C, B and Group A non gazette employees and the rate of
reduction shall be from Rs 100 to Rs 1000.
·
CPC
could not even assure the declared Increment rate of 3% to all stages.
·
The
promotion benefit has been drastically reduced and meager one increment has
been fixed as promotion benefit.
·
Many
of the Allowances, Advances and other facilities has been withdrawn, modified
our snatched away from the employees.
o
Transport
Allowance was not enhanced.
o
HRA
rate has been reduced to 24%, 16% & 8% from the existing 30%, 20% & 10%
respectively.
o
NRPSA
was not properly hiked
o
Overtime
Allowance has not been revised
o
No
recommendation to revise, QIS, Update Allowance, etc.
o
All
interest free advances withdrawn
o
Motor
Cycle and Motor car advances also withdrawn.
·
Various other facilities enjoyed by the
Government employees all these years were withdrawn or altered.
In response to the request from the
Implementation Cell the National Joint Council of Action (NJCA) of JCM
Constituent submitted 26 points charter to the Cabinet Secretary for
corrections in the CPC recommendations on 10th December 2015 and
demanded negotiation and an amicable settlement before February 2016. If the
Government has not come forward for negotiation and settlement, NJCA decided
and communicated the Government that the entire Central Government Employees
will go for indefinite strike from first week of March.
National Federation of Atomic Energy
Employees (NFAEE) held its Working Committee Meeting on 5th December
2015 at Mumbai and unanimously decided to go along with the entire working
force under the Government of India against the recommendations of 7th
CPC and formulated Memorandum on views and suggestions of DAE employees on 7th
CPC recommendations and submitted to the Cabinet Secretary and Secretary to the
Government of India on 15th December 2015 which contains common
issues as well as Departmental Specific issues. NFAEE had a meeting with the
Additional Secretary and other official on 18th December 2015 and
pursued the Department to comment on various common issues and accordingly on
certain issues DAE sent their views to the Implementation Cell on 23rd
December 2015.
In response to the call from NJCA, NFAEE and
its affiliates continuously conducted various campaign programmes such as lunch
hour meeting, Gate meetings, Dharna programme and also joined in the common
rally organized under the banner of NJCA at various places. Also to educate the
members, organized special general body meeting at various places and through
presentation by the leadership of NFAEE try to spread the impact of the worst
ever report by the 7th CPC among the employees and called upon for
getting ready for united struggle if the situation warranted.
NFAEE further decided to go for STRIKE BALLOT on 4th
February 2016 throughout the DAE units to assess the employees support on
forthcoming industrial action if the government has not considered the just
genuine and reasonable demands to revisit the retrograded recommendations and
ready to correct it. We appeal to all DAE Employees to assess the following
questions by your own understanding and participate in the STRIKE BALLOT on 4th
