Dear
Comrades,
CONFEDERATION
CALLS UPON TO OBSERVE
BLACK
DAY ON 6TH MARCH 2017
It
is on 6th July 2016 that the NJCA decided to defer the proposed
indefinite strike from 11th July 2016 after Shri Rajnath Singh,
Hon’ble Home Minister met the NJCA and re-iterated the commitment made to the
NJCA delegation on 30th June 2016 on revisiting of the minimum pay
and fitment factor, stating that the commitment has the approval of the Hon’ble
Prime Minister.
We
all know that neither any Committee has been formed as assured nor any
meaningful dialogue – leave aside negotiation – has taken place with Staff
Side, JCM till date, forcing the employees and officers to feel deceived.
It
is to register our strong protest against this backtracking from commitments and
demanding honouring the commitments made to NJCA that the Confederation has
decided to observe 6th March 2017 as BLACK Day. Confederation
Circular is enclosed.
All the Units are requested to
conduct effective campaign so that every employee wears the badge with
“HONOUR THE
COMMITMENT MADE ON
30th June
& 6th JULY, 2016
REVISE THE
MINIMUM WAGE AND
MULTIPLICATION
FACTOR”
written on it and maximum and
participate massively in the demonstration during lunch hour.
We
must remember that every action programme is to mobilise the employees so that
the one day strike on 16th March 2017 becomes a resounding success.
Trade Union Camp in Hindi
As decided, we have started
conducting Trade Union workshops – the first one, in English, was held at
Thrissur, Kerala on 24-25 January 2017. At Thrissur itself, Shimla Units
offered to host the Trade Union Workshop in Hindi.
Audit COC, Shimla has intimated that
the TU Workshop could be held at Shimla on 26-27 May 2017 with accommodation
from 25th noon to 28th noon. The HQr would soon intimate
the quota for each Unit. Non Hindi speaking Units, if any one of them would
like to attend, may intimate the HQr. well in advance.
With greetings,
Yours fraternally

General

BLACK DAY

the betrayal of Central Government employees and pensioners by Group of

Dear
comrades
We know that all of you are in the
midst of hectic preparation and campaign for making the 16thMarch
Strike action a great success. As has been explained in the article,
which we have placed on our website, the NDA Government, led by BJP has
exhibited the worst anti-employee attitude in the post independent era of
our country. This Government has treated its own employees as its worst
enemy. The decision taken by the Union Cabinet on 29th June, 2016 rejecting even the
recommendations made by the high level committee chaired by the Cabinet
Secretary was unprecedented. Even the setting up of various committees was
nothing but an eye wash. Nothing will come out of that. Even the NPS
Committee on which the young comrades had pinned some hope of at least
getting a minimum guaranteed pension will produce nothing. The
discussions at the JCM fora has been converted into mostly monologues i.e. the
official side simply listening and not reacting. The Government, it
appears, has made the Pension department to reject the one and only
recommendation of the 7th CPC
which was considered to be positive i.e. Option No.1 for pensioners on the
specious ground that the same is not feasible to be implemented. The allowances
committee has dilly dallied its deliberation and would now submit its report
after the extended period of 6 months expires on 22.02.2017. Even if they make
any positive recommendation, which is seldom expected, the NDA Government would
not act upon it. They have very successfully postponed the payment of the
revised allowanced for 15 months.
In the face of such terrible onslaught, betrayal and chicanery, which no
Government in the past has every indulged in, it is surprising that some
of our friends who has a predominant role in the movement of the Central
Government employees has unfortunately chosen to wait and watch. It
appears that they have chosen to wait endlessly hurting the cause of the
workers.
We have no hesitation to affirmatively state the obvious that we have chosen
the right path, the path of struggles, which can only the choice of the working
class against tyrannical attitude of the employer, howsoever, powerful they may
be. We must realise that those who are in the saddle of power today are not
permanently posted there. We were witness to the abysmal downfall of persons
who were arrogant personified. It appears that the reasonableness,
righteousness and patience we had exhibited have been taken as signs of
cowardice. The undeniable fact is that those who fight only can win. We,
therefore, appeal to you to carry on with conviction and courage.
Eight months will be over on 6th March,
2017, when the Group of Ministers held out the assurance of revisiting the
minimum wage and multiplication factor. It is now crystal clear that that
was an act of chicanery. No committee was set up and no discussions
were held to seriously consider the issue. We, therefore, appeal to all
of you to ensure that the day, i.e. 6th
March, 2017 is observed as
a day of betrayal and all our members are requested to wear a Black badge with
the following words inscribed on it in bold letters and conduct demonstrations
in front of all Central Government offices.
HONOUR THE COMMITMENT MADE ON
30th June & 6th JULY,
2016
REVISE THE MINIMUM WAGE AND
MULTIPLICATION FACTOR
6TH March 2017 must be yet another
occasion to mobilize our members to ensure their participation in the 16th March, 2017 strike action and
ultimately win all the demands in the charter.
We fight to win and we shall win.
With greetings,
Yours fraternally,
(M Krishnan)
Secretary General
