Dear
Comrades,
CARRY FORWARD THE CAMPAIGN ON CADRE RESTRUCTURING;
EDUCATE AND MOBILISE THE MASS OF EMPLOYEES
The National Executive of the
Association that met at New Delhi on 11-12-13 December 2014 reviewed the
developments since the meeting of the CWC meeting in July 2014.
The meeting noted with satisfaction
that CAG has recommended total parity with CSS cadres and has accepted and
recommended our proposal for higher pay scale for LDCs.
In the bilateral meeting with DAI on
19th November 2014, it was communicated that henceforth there shall
be no recruitment in the Auditor/Accountant Cadre. The post of
Auditor/Accountant will be available for DEOs for promotion, exclusively. The
recruitments would be restricted to MTS, DEO and SA where 75% would directly
recruited graduates (the remaining 20% will be available for Auditor/Accountant
on promotion). The memorandum submitted by CAG to 7 CPC has demanded GP 4600 in
PB2 for S.
The NE noted that it is for the
first time since the time of 3rd CPC that CAG’s administration has formally
shared the copy of the memorandum to CPC with the staff Side – with a very
positive approach to the demands raised by the staff side.
In the meeting with DAI, the demand
for cadre restructuring as we envisaged by us was not accepted. When a new
proposal is placed and is subjected for discussion for the first time, it is
bound to be attempted to be rejected or overlooked by the administration. The
NE took note of the decision of the CWC meeting held on 18-19 July 2014 at New
Delhi that the demands that we will be projecting through the memorandum to 7
CPC are the demands for the future. The stand of the administration to demand
parity in scale for SA, AAO, AA & SAO with CSS cadres and the decision to
have 75% direct recruitment (of graduates) to SA cadre justifies the stand
taken by the CWC meeting held in July 2014 of the future demands.
The NE, therefore, decided that we
should continue with our campaign and mobilisation on the cadre restructuring
proposals and the charter of demands and decided the following programmes.
1. Lunch
Hour meeting on 8th January 2015 in all the Units adopting
resolutions on cadre restructuring and charter of demands and also demanding
settlement of punitive measures at different units.
2. Mass
signature campaign on cadre restructuring and charter of demands and also
demanding settlement of punitive measures at different units - in February
2015.
Simultaneously,
we should campaign and mobilise the membership on the decisions taken by the
NJCA on indefinite Strike.
3. Submission
of Signatures to CAG – in April 2015 along with the March to Parliament
organised by NJCA.
The HQr would circulate the format
for the signature campaign and also the draft resolution (to be adopted on 8th
January 2015). Campaign material would also be circulated – for departmental as
well as common front demands.
The National Executive adopted
resolutions on the following:
1. Non settlement of vicitmisations in IA&AD
2. Charter of Demands and proposed restructuring
of cadres
3. Official apathy towards JCM Scheme and snatching
away of the Staff Side Room at AGCR
4. Compulsory
posting of AAOs from Assam to Arunachal Pradesh
5. Demanding opening up of promotional avenues for
non matriculate and matriculate MTS as DEO.
COURT CASE
Our OA (O.A./4465/2014) has been
admitted and is posted for 28th January 2015. Some units have asked
for copy of the OA, HQr will not be in a position to share it now. The NE
decided to pursue the other two cases mentioned in our Circular 25.
With greetings,
Yours fraternally

Dear
Comrades,
NATIONAL CONVENTION
OF PARTICIPATING ORGANISATIONS IN JCM DECIDES FOR SERIES OF ACTIONS CULMINATING
IN INDEFINITE STRIKE
The
National Convention of JCM participating organisations held at MPCU Shah
Auditorium, civil Lines, Delhi on 11th December 2014 was historic in
the sense that all the participant organisations were one in its resolve that
it is the time for ‘fight or perish’.
The
Convention was attended by nearly 800 representatives from AIRF, NFIR, AIDEF,
INDWF and Confederation (including NFPE) and FNPO.
The
decision to allow 100% Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Railways and 49% FDI
in Defence, proposed corporatisation and subsequent privatisation of Postal
Service, the decision to close down Govt of India Presses and Medical Stores
Depot combined with the changes that are in air regarding the retirement age
and pension, ban on recruitment and creation of posts, the move to slow down
the working of 7 CPC, denial of Interim Relief (IR) and merger of 100 % DA all
are clear indication of the “Good Days (Achche Din)” that are in store
for the central and state government employees.
The
Convention on 11th December by the participating organisations in
the National Council (NC), Joint Consultative Machinery (NC, JCM) was unanimous
on the urgent need to resist and defeat these policies. The Convention adopted
a declaration with a charter of demands and programmes of action that would
culminate in an indefinite strike. The Convention further decided to pre-pone
the strike action, if the need so arises due to the moves of the government.
The
Charter of Demands and the programmes of action decided by the Convention is
given below:
C
H A R T E R O F D E M A N D S
1.
Effect wage revision of Central
Government employees from 1.12014 accepting the memorandum of the staff side
JCM; ensure 5-year wage revision in future; grant interim relief and merger of
100% of DA. Ensure submission of the 7th CPC report with the
stipulated time frame of 18 months; include Grameen Dak Sewaks within the ambit
of the 7th CPC. Settle all
anomalies of the 6th CPC.
2.
No privatisation, PPP or FDI in
Railways and Defence Establishments and no corporatisation of postal services;
3.
No Ban on recruitment/creation of
post.
4.
Scrap PFRDA Act and re-introduce the
defined benefit statutory pension scheme.
5.
No outsourcing; contractorisation,
privatisation of governmental functions;
withdraw the proposed move to close down the Printing Presses; the publication,
form store and stationery departments and Medical Stores Depots; regularise the
existing daily rated/casual and contract workers and absorption of trained
apprentices;
6.
Revive the JCM functioning at all
levels as an effective negotiating forum for settlement of the demands of the
CGEs.
7.
Remove the arbitrary ceiling on
compassionate appointments.
8.
No labour reforms which are inimical
to the interest of the workers.
9.
Remove the Bonus ceiling;
10.
Ensure five promotions in the service career
P
R O G R A M M E O F A C T I O N
1.
Organise
State/District/Divisional level Joint convention to popularize the declaration
before February, 2015.
2.
To
organize massive dharna/rally at all State Capital/major Defence centres
jointly by all the participating Unions in March, 2015.
3.
To
organize campaign fortnight throughout the country in the first two weeks of
April, 2015.
4.
To
organize Rally before the Parliament house in the month of April when the house
will be in budget session to declare the date for the commencement of the
indefinite strike action and the programme and date of serving strike notice.
The
Convention decided to form National Joint Council of Action with 14 members
representing all the Federations/Confederation and elected Shri M Raghavaiah as
Chairman and Shri Shivgopal Mishra as Convener of NJCA. The Circular as well as
the Press Statement issued by the Convener, NJCA and the declaration adopted in
the Convention as enclosed with this Circular.
The
National Executive of the Association that met at New Delhi on 11, 12 and 13th
December 2014 welcomed the decisions taken at the National Convention by the
JCM participating organisations and called upon the Units to carry the message
of the 11th December Convention to the mass of employees and
mobilise the rank and file for the bitter but united struggles in the days to come.
20
delegates representing the All India Audit & Accounts Association attended
the Convention,
RUMOURS
ARE NOT TO BE IGNORED; IT MAY BE FOR REAL
The HQr is
flooded with queries on the issue of reduction in retirement age, reduction in
the commutation value of pension, reduction in the leave encashment etc. There
is no confirmation on any of these.
Also it is
rumoured (please note: all these are rumours or rather words in air) the
present day government is thinking of seeing off the employees with lumpsum
payment instead of pension!
The HQr is
neither in a position to confirm all these, nor in a position to state with
affirmation that these all are nothing but rumours. Knowing the way the
government is moving with blunt decisions like closing down of Printing Presses
and Medical Store Depots, corporatisation and privatisation/closing down of
Post Offices, 100% FDI and then privatisation of Railways, 49% FDI in Defence,
total ban on recruitment and creation of posts, increasing the cap of FDI in
insurance etc, one will have to sit and watch how things are going to emerge in
the days to come, with fingers crossed. The Govt may be waiting for the
elections to Delhi Assembly to be over.
But the
fact is that the onslaught has begun and there are ominous signals that any of
these or all of these can take place, if we are complacent.
The only
way to stop any one or all these from materializing is to strengthen the
organisation through education and mobilisation of the mass of employees
enabling them to fight these policies.
C
A S E F I L E D
On 11th
December 2014, we filed OA in the CAT, Principal Bench, New Delhi on the issue
of implementation of the benefit extended to AAOs of the O/o PAG (A&E),
Chennai (O.A./4465/2014, M.A./3919/2014). It is expected to come up for
admission in a day or two. The HQr will keep the units informed of the
developments through Circular/blog.

CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES INCLUDING
RAILWAY AND DEFENCE WORKERS DECIDES TO ORGANISE INDEFINITE STRIKE
A National Convention of Central
Government Employees Organisations participating in the Joint Consultative
Machinery was held at New Delhi today (11.12.2014) at MPCU Shah Auditorium,
Civil Lines, New Delhi to deliberate upon the demands and problems of Central
Government Employees remained unsettled for several years. The Joint
Consultative Machinery conceived as a forum for negotiation of demands of
Central Government Employees in the wake of the indefinite strike action of
1960s has almost become defunct as its National Council which was to meet
thrice in a year has not met even once for the last four years. The wage
revision which was due in 2011 has not come about even though 7 CPC was set up
a few months back. The demand for Interim Relief, merger of DA with Pay which
normally accompanies the announcement of the pay commission were not granted by
the government, the demand for inclusion of Gramin Dak Sevaks within the
purview of 7th CPC was also rejected. Immediately on assumption of
power, the new government has declared a total ban on recruitment, 100 % FDI in
Railways and its privatisation, increasing FDI to 49% in Defence sector,
closure of the Printing Presses, Publication, Stationery and forms offices and
Medical Store Depots, corporatisation of Postal Services, amended the labour
laws against the interest of workers and many other anti-worker policies. The
Convention has adopted a declaration (copy enclosed) and decided upon various
programmes of action culminating in indefinite strike if settlement is not
brought about on the 10 point charter of demands adopted by the Convention.
More than 800 delegates representing the two Federations in Railways (AIRF and
NFIR), two Federations in Defence (AIDEF and INDWF), two Federations in Postal Services
(NFPE and FNPO), Confederation of Central Govt Employees & Workers and many
other organisations participated in the Convention. The indefinite strike
decision and various other action programmes were approved by the Convention
unanimously. The Convention set up a 14 member National Joint Council of Action
with Shri M. Raghavaiah, General Secretary, National Federation of Indian
Railwaymen as its Chairman and Shri. Shivgopal Mishra, General Secretary, All
India Railwaymen Federation as Convener to spearhead the indefinite strike and
other action programmes. The convention was conducted by a Presidium consisting
of S/s Rakhaldas Gupta (AIRF), Guman Singh (NFIR), SN Pathak (AIDEF), KKN Kutty
(Confederation), Giriraj Singh (NFPE) and Ashok Singh (INDWF).

Enclosure:
Copy of Declaration
NATIONAL CONVENTION
OF CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES’ ORGANISATIONS PARTICIAPTING IN JCM
11TH DECEMBER 2014
NEW DELHI
The National Convention of Central
Government Employees organizations participating in the JCM, being held at New
Delhi on 11th December, 2014, adopted the following declaration
after detailed deliberations and discussions.
D E C L A R A T I O N
2. The
Central Government employees have a glorious past of struggles and
sacrifices. The first indefinite strike
action in the independent India by employees and workers of Central Civil
Service was in the 1960s. The July 1960
strike was due to the denial of the legitimate demand of the Central Government
employees for the grant of Minimum wage as per the norms laid down by the 15th
ILC. Brutal repression, unheard in the
history of workers struggles, was unleashed by the then Government of India to
suppress the movement. It was in the
wake of that unprecedented strike action, the Government recognised the need to
have a negotiating machinery to look into the grievances of the Central
Government employees and set up the JCM.
3. After
the 1968 one day strike and the 1974 tumultuous indefinite strike by the
Railwaymen and others, the organisations participating in the JCM strived their
best to create a conducive and peaceful atmosphere to settle the demands and
grievances through discussions at the JCM.
The continuous dialogue in the forum of JCM helped immensely in avoiding
confrontation, struggles and strike actions as the discussions brought about
settlement on issues, thanks no doubt to the positive role and attitude of the
Government in power then.
4. Unlike
the provincial Civil Service, 85% of the Central Government employees are
industrial or operational workers, covered by the Industrial disputes Act. Peace and tranquility in workplaces provided
for increased production, productivity and efficiency. The Railways, the defence production units,
the postal services and other industrial establishments and employees of
administrative offices played a vital role in bringing about the significant turnaround in the
employer-employees relationship.
5. However,
the scenario underwent a vast change in the latter part of 1990s. Government promulgated the new Recognition
Rules making it necessary for the Unions to seek fresh recognition. After the initial hiccups, the employees’
organisations abided by the Government directive and carried out all
stipulations and conditions required for the grant of recognition. Despite that, the recognition has eluded some
organisations while in the case of many others Government took years to grant
recognition. During this period, the JCM
was virtually closed down at the Departmental levels. The National Council which as per its own
constitution is to meet thrice in a year seldom met in the last four
years. Even when the Standing Committee
or the Anomaly Committee met, it was an exercise in procrastination. The Government unilaterally took various
decisions viz. closure of departments, outsourcing, banning recruitment and
creation of posts, untenable restriction on compassionate appointments;
referring the decisions of the Board of Arbitration to the Parliament for
rejection; introduction of large scale contractorisation and above all
withdrawal of the age old defined benefit pension scheme and introduction of a
defined contributory annuity scheme etc.
In the process of this hegemonic approach of the Government, the common
employees lost confidence in fair play and the efficacy of JCM as a forum to
settle their demands. Consequently,
litigation is being resorted to by the common employees with high degree of
success. Despite four rounds of discussion in the National Anomaly Committee,
which was set up after the 6th CPC recommendations were implemented,
no settlement could be brought about on any issue. They found the situation
elsewhere not different and aligned themselves with the common trade union
movement of the country in fighting against the new economic policies.
6. The
workers in general and the Central
Government employees in particular were and continue to be the victims of severe economic offensive of the
successive Governments that came to power in the country since the new economic policies were ushered in 1991. Systematic downsizing and outsourcing of
Governmental functions; closure of
Government departments;; privatization of public enterprises, amending labour
laws to facilitate exploitation; lowering interest rate, unbridled inflation,
allowing the foreign and domestic
monopoly capital to loot and plunder the indigenous resources had been
some of the visible characteristics and impacts of the reforms undertaken.
7. The
liberalisation and globalisation policies of the successive Governments, which
came to power since 1991 and which
received the backing and support of the dominant opposition parties and elite
in the society accentuated unemployment, dismantled the Public Sector
Undertakings, allowed unhindered entry of foreign capital, destroyed the livelihood of the farmers and
agricultural labourers; raised the
prices of all essential food items beyond the purchasing capacity of the common
people; granted huge tax concessions to corporate houses;; siphoned off the
poor man’s earnings into the hands of a few rich; These measures ultimately drove the majority
of Indians to be below the poverty levels.
Indian youths were driven to be beggars at the doorsteps of
transnational corporations of the developed Nations.
8. At
the General elections for the 16th Lok Sabha, the Indian Common men
handed the Indian National Congress, who led the UPA II regime the worst ever
defeat in its history. Those who came to
power over the defeat of the century old party, i.e. the NDA led by the
Bharatiya Janata Party have no different approach on policies or
governance. They had in fact supported
the UPA Government to intensify the neo liberal policies. But for their solid support the PFRDA bill
could never have been passed by the UPA.
The conglomeration of Corporate
houses and the corporate controlled media supported the BJP to the hilt
in the election process for they were certain that BJP shall be more pliant and
compliant to them. Through various
policy pronouncements the new Government has made its intentions clear and
loud. A complete ban on recruitment in
Governmental organizations has been instituted; privatization of the Railways
and Defence is on the anvil; FDI has been allowed to have its entry into these
two vital sectors, which had been excluded due to public opinion by the UPA;
decided to corporatize the Postal Services; the New pension scheme will replace
all existing defined benefit pension dispensations; decided to close all
Government of India Printing Presses (including the publication, Stationery and
forms stores); handed over the functions of the Medical Depots to private
contractor firms rendering thousands of workers redundant and jobless;
withdrawn the guidelines regulating the prices of essential and life saving
medicines; proposed to reduce the number of subsidized gas cylinders; announced the PPP model of
infrastructure development in Railways; declared further disinvestment of the
profit making PSUs and closure of all loss making enterprises; introduced legislation to drastically amend
the labour laws to harm the interest of workers especially in small
establishments; indicated to give further concessions to corporate houses on
taxation and to increase the indirect taxes to reduce fiscal deficit; made legislation to increase the FDI in
Insurance and effect further reforms in the Banking Sector; dismantled the
Planning Commission and above all has taken tacit steps to disrupt the secular
social fabric of the country.
9. It
is in the backdrop of this National scenario that the Central Government
employees must look up for settlement of their demands. The Central Government employees had been
active participants in the struggles and strike actions of the Indian Working
Class in the last two decades against the neo liberal policies. They have marched to the Parliament house
shoulder to shoulder with other segments of the working people on several
occasions and more recently on 5th December, 2014 to register and
demonstrate the emphatic protest and opposition to the Government’s economic
policies. They will be enthusiastic participants in future struggles and strike
actions chalked out by the united platform of the Central Trade Unions in the
country. While being part of the common
struggles of the working class, they will have to chalk out programmes to ensure that the Ban
on recruitment in Governmental institutions is lifted; the decision to close down the Printing Presses and the Medical stores
is rescinded; growing contractorisation, privatization and outsourcing of the
Governmental functions are halted; the
proposal to allow FDI and privatize the Railways and Defence Establishments is
nipped in the bud itself; the proposed labour reforms are taken back; that the
casual and contract labourers and GDS are paid the minimum wage; a scheme drawn up for their regularisation
within a stipulated time frame and the social security measures presently
available to the workers in the form of
defined benefit pension scheme is retained.
10. They must simultaneously
endeavour to ensure that the JCM functioning is revived; periodicity of its
meeting is increased to conform to the rules; the meeting of the Councils at
the Departmental level are convened; the unions are recognized as per the
rules; the National Anomaly Committee items are taken to its logical end and
the awards of the Board of Arbitration are implemented.
11. Above all, they must strive
immediately that the Government takes a
decision on the date of effect of the Wage revision as 1.1.2014; the ambit of
the 7th Central Pay Commission covers the most exploited segment of
civil servants, i.e the Gramin Dak Sewaks ; that the wage structure of GDS is
not allowed to be at the whims and caprices of Postal bureaucrats; that the
Central Government employees are granted interim relief at the rate of 25% of
their pay plus GP; the Dearness allowance which stood at 100% of pay as on 1.1.2014 is merged to become
Dearness Pay and the 7th CPC adheres to its time frame of 18
months and all the JCM participating
organization are given sufficient opportunity to present their case before the
Commission.
12. The Convention, on the basis of
the discussions amongst the participating organizations, formulates a charter
of demands containing the following important issues. The Convention also adopts the following
programme of action to culminate in an indefinite strike action if the demands
are not negotiated and settled.
13. The Convention sets up a
National Joint Council of action with the representatives of the participating
organizations to spearhead the movement.
The NJCA will prepare a detailed pamphlet to explain each of the demands
in the Charter and to circulate the same amongst the mass of the employees for
an intensive campaign. The NJCA at the
National level will monitor the implementation of the programme. The Convention
authorised the National JCA to pre-pone the entire programmes of action in case
such a decision is warranted due to an exigency. The Convention directs the participating
Federations/Unions and Associations to form such Joint Committees in all States
to ensure that the programme of action is carried out in all States
uniformly.
14. The Convention calls upon all
Central Governments employees and their Unions and Federations to be active
participants in all the programmes of action to bring about a satisfactory
settlement of the demands.
Charter of demands.
1.
Effect wage revision of Central Government employees from 1.12014 accepting the
memorandum of the staff side JCM; ensure 5-year wage revision in future; grant
interim relief and merger of 100% of DA. Ensure submission of the 7th
CPC report with the stipulated time frame of 18 months; include Grameen Dak
Sewaks within the ambit of the 7th CPC. Settle all anomalies of the 6th
