All India Audit & Accounts Association: June 2013

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.

With greetings,

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
