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 OF REFERENCE OF THE 7TH CPC AND DEMAND
IMMEIDATE ACCEPTANCE OF :
(i) Interim Relief
(ii) Merger of DA
(iii) Bringing the
Grameen Dak Sewaks within the ambit of the 7th CPC
(iv) Date of effect from
1/1/2014
(v) Parity in pension
entitlement between the past and present pensioners
(vi) Coverage of the
existing defined benefit pension scheme to employees recruited on or after
1.1.2004.
(vii) Include a
representative of the Labour in the 7th Central Pay Commission.
(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.
