All India Audit & Accounts Association

The 24^th Conference of Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers had decided to hold parleys with AIRF and AIDEF so as to persuade them to join the struggle on common demands such as wage revision on every 5 years, merger of DA up 50% etc. There had been some informal confabulations on this line and it has been agreed that the representatives of these organisations would meet on 15^th June 2013 to chalk out a common strategy and finalising a common charter of demands. But it may so happen that the meeting may be delayed.

The 24^th Conference also decided to continue the struggle on the 15 Point Charter of Demands on which the Central Government employees had gone on a day's strike on 12^th December 2012. The Conference called upon every affiliate and State Committees of Confederation to organise one day massive dharna on 20^th June 2013 in every state capital and in every city.

CHQ of All India Audit & Accounts Association endorses the call of the Conference of Confederation and call upon on every unit to take leading part in participation as well as in mobilisation for the day long Dharna on 20^th June 2013.

Confederation Circular is reproduced elsewhere.

ON RAISING OF RETIREMENT AGE TO 62

Reports say that the government of the day is serious about the raising of the retirement age. Formally, the official side is denying it. There was a move for the same in 2008 itself, but immediate change of incumbency in Finance Ministry had put a full stop to it then. The government may be feeling that the government employees could be won over with the lolli-pop of raising of retirement age without addressing any of the issues that confront the employees like wage revision, DA merger, price rise, PFRDA bill etc.

All India Audit & Accounts Association is of the firm view that any move to raise the retirement age is an affront to the unemployed of the country and it should not be done. The government may be planning to imitate the OECD countries many of which have raised the retirement age to 65 and above. Govt may be expecting to tide over the current financial crisis by delaying the payments by two years.

The move to raise the retirement age, if correct, is not only a blow to the educated unemployed but it would adversely affect the efficiency in Government offices.

Yours fraternally

Dear Comrades,

GRAND ALLINACE OF DISRUPTORS DEFEATED IN KERALA

The disruptors formed a grand alliance in Kerala. The only objective of the grand alliance consisting of National Audit Federation units and the desperate elements in A&E office was to defeat the Audit & Accounts Association.

The occasion was election to the L&R Club – Thiruvananthapuram. The voters were all the personnel of Gr C & B & A (including PAsG) from Audit and A&E offices. (Branches at Thrisur, Ernakulam, Kottayam and Kozhikode have separate elected bodies).

The fight was a direct one – between the panel placed by Audit & Accounts Association, Kerala and the one jointly by self proclaimed Audit Champions ie National Audit Federation who has declared accounts staff as their enemy and new avatar of National audit in Accounts Side.

The employees gave the verdict – an emphatic one. Employees told in one voice – keep off these divisive slogans, we are with Audit & Accounts Association. The employees – from MTS to SAO – have seen it with their eyes and learnt it from experience during the last seven years who is what.

There was simple choice before the employees and officers of Kerala – to identify with valiant leadership and members of Audit & Accounts Association and elect its panel or take the department back to colonial days by backing the fifth columnists who "served' the administration during the bitter days when two of our comrades were dismissed and hundreds were punished.

Kerala comrades did the right thing – they gave the Audit & Accounts Association panel a thumping majority – majority in almost all the posts was more than the votes polled by the grand alliance.

Red Salute to members and leaders of Audit & Accounts Association, Kerala.

GRAND ALLIANCE ATTEMPTS AT ALL INDIA LEVEL

This grand alliance is attempted at all India level. Some former leaders of our movement are taking lead in forming a National Accounts Federation. The aim is to have a grand alliance against All India Audit & Accounts Association.

Every unit of All India Audit & Accounts Association is contacted by these desperate elements. They had a "Conference" in Kerala. They are working in tandem with those who broke away for 'championing' the cause of audit (and doing all disservice to the cause of audit).

It is very clear – it is neither the interest of audit nor the interest of accounts that is the driving force. It is the eagerness to wreck the unity of employees to serve the interests of the administration that is the driving force.

Some of our comrades are contacting the CHQ on this enquiring what are all these about. Our responsibility is to strengthen the audit and accounts unity. We are sure the employees would pooh-pooh all these disruptive elements.

We all should remember one thing – if one has earned a name as leader of audit movement that was/is because you were/are the leader of All India Audit & Accounts Association. One command respect so far he/she is with the banner of All India Audit & Accounts Association. The members realise your character once you try to ditch the movement – either by joining hands with disruptors or trying to engineer disruption. History will not absolve such traitors.

With greetings,

Yours fraternally

Members of Women's Committee

Dear Comrades,

The 46^th Conference of the Association held at Guwahati identified some pressing issues that have to be addressed urgently. The National Executive Committee that met at the sidelines of the Conference of Confederation decided that the issues need detailed discussion in a wider forum and hence decided to convene a meeting of the CWC. All the Units may, in the meantime, take enabling decision on the participation in the CWC meeting and identify issues to be discussed and decided upon.

During the discussion on the Report and the organisational matters, many a proposals had come up, including on how to overcome the financial hardship faced by the CHQ. Some had even gone to the extent of proposing that Secretary General may function from his station or seek transfer to any of the Delhi offices. The Conference, while appreciating the concern expressed by these units of the financial health, categorically rejected these suggestions.

Conference specifically directed the Members of the National Executive Committee members that they should ensure that their units shall clear the CHQ dues by 30^th April 2013.

The proposed CWC meeting will discuss only the organisational issues ie building up of the Association to enable the organisation to pursue the Policy and Programme Resolution adopted by the 46^th Conference, meeting the challenges of the day. The CWC meeting is proposed to be held in the 1^st half of August 2013. The dates and venue shall be communicated shortly.

Report on implementation of "REMOVE CURBS ON THE EXERCISE OF FUNDAMENTAL (Right to Association & Right to Expression) & DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS DAY" on 23^rd April 2013 has not been received from all the units. Units may remember that this slackness on timely reporting adversely affects our future planning.

Dear Comrades,

As you are aware, the Government in reply to a question raised in the Parliament has stated that setting up of the 7^th Central Pay Commission for effecting wage revision of central Government employees is not presently under its consideration. You will recall, that a similar statement was made by the then Finance Minister, when the demand for setting up the 6^th CPC was raised by the employees. The Joint movement of the Central Government employees, for which we created the platform of the Steering Committee of the organizations participating in the JCM under the leadership of Late Com. J.P. Chaubey, the then General Secretary of All India Railway men Federation could ensure that the Government rescind its stand then and set up the 6^th CPC. The real value of wages determined by the 6^th CPC has now been eroded to the extent of above 100% due to the unprecedented inflation in the economy and spiraling rise in the prices of essential commodities. While the Government permits wage negotiation and revision in the fully owned Public Sector Undertakings every five years, the denial to revise the wages of Central Government employees despite such large scale erosion in the real value of wages is absolutely unjustified.

The Government had been persisting with the enactment of the PRFDA Bill in the Parliament in almost all sessions ever since the UPA II Government took over. Ironically they could elicit support from the main Opposition Party in the country for this ill advised enactment. Lakhs of new workers who have joined in various organizations of the Government since2004 are worried of their future, which is forlorn and bleak, in the wake of the denial of an age old social security scheme of Pension. We have been together opposing this move right from the day, the NDA Government introduced the bill in the Parliament in 2003. However, our efforts, actions and objections have all been ignored with disdain by the Government. Though they could not muster enough support required to pass the bill in the Parliament, the Union Cabinet has recently taken the decision to allow 49% FDI in the pension fund.

We are to channelize our efforts through a wider platform of Unity. Efforts are on anvil to bring about such a platform. In the meantime, we have decided to call upon all Units and Branches of AIRF, Confederation and AIDEF to organize Demonstration on 29^th April, 2013 in front of all offices and send the following telegram to the Prime Minister.

WITHDRAW PFRDA BILL AND SET UP THE 7^TH CPC

TO EFFECT WAGE REVISION OF CENTRAL

GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES
