Circular No. 13
Dated 2.3.2014

REFUSED TO ACCEPT THE MAIN DEMANDS OF THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES.
CONFEDERATION
NATIONAL SECRETARIAT CALLS UPON THE ENTIRE CG EMPLOYEES TO PROTEST AGAINST THE
ARBITRARY AND UNILATERAL DECISION OF THE GOVERNMENT.
HOLD NATION
WIDE PROTEST DEMONSTRATION IN FRONT OF ALL OFFICES AND AT ALL IMPORTANT CENTRES
ON 7TH MARCH 2014 OR AT ANY IMMEDIATE CONVENIENT DATE.

for AN INDEFINITE STRIKE IMMEDIATELY AFTER GENERAL ELECTION DEMANDING , MERGER

IN PENSION, DATE OF EFFECT 1/1/2014, SCRAP NEW PENSION SCHEME, SETTLE
ANOMOLIES,INCLUSION OF LABOUR REPRESENTATIVE IN THE PAY COMMISSION AND OTHER
DEMANDS IN THE 15 POINT CHARTER OF DEMANDs.
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 7thCPC. 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
