Dear
Comrades,
Observance
of Association Day
Many
Units have communicated the observance of the Association Day, but there are
few which have not reported.
The
basic trade union consciousness emanates from observing the foundation day of
the Association, taking the message to members, talking to the members on the
past and present and on future tasks.
All
India Audit & Accounts Association has a glorious history and the onus is
on us to carry it forward. This can be conveyed to the new generation of
employees only when we organise such functions. The Trade Union camps,
organising Representative Assembly/Section Activists is another step.
Representative Assembly/Section
Activist
Regular
interaction with membership is the corner stone. The moment we slip on this
front, the organisation also slips. Every circular, Auditlekha Samanvay be
subjected for discussion in the RA/SA meeting. Comments therefrom may be
summarized and communicated to HQr.
Except
one unit, no other Unit has communicated the steps taken to organise the RA/SA.
This does not augur well for any organisation, especially for us. Unit
leadership may convene the RA/SA without further delay. The dead line set by
the NE meeting ends on 25th April – but the Units of NE members are
also yet to communicate (Except P&T Audit, Nagpur) of the steps taken to
form the system of RA/SA.
Meeting with Chairman, Cadre
restructuring Committee
Secretary
General along with Com OS Sudhakaran, Secretary General, All India Audit &
Accounts Officers Association met Shri V Kurien, Chairman, Cadre Restructuring
Committee on 20th April 2018. We had discussion on wide range of
issues. Chairman CRC informed that the Committee may submit the report by this
month end.
HQr Writes to CAG
HQr
has written to CAG demanding sharing of the report of the Committee with
recognised Federations and holding further discussions so as to evolve
consensus before giving final shape to the recommendations of the CRC.
Observe May Day
In
the present context of our country, where the hard earned rights of workers are
under sever attack and where the Parliament without causing any discussion
amends the labour laws to give freedom to corporate to hire and fire ending the
concept the job security, this years’ May Day become a time to remember the
glorious struggle of our predecessors for eight hour duty, job security and
social security and rededicate ourselves to fight back against the retrograde
and atrocious moves of the government against the toiling masses.
All
our units are requested to observe May Day by holding lunch hour meetings,
explaining the history of May Day and the attacks unleashed by the government
in its attempt to reverse all the gains the workers earned through bitter
struggles of the past.
Message
issued by the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) on the occasion of May
Day is given elsewhere.
With
greetings,
Yours fraternally

May Day 2018: With Internationalism and Solidarity!!
The
World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) in the name of its more than 92 million
affiliates all over the world salutes, on the occasion of this great day, all
the workers who live, work and struggle in every corner of the world. May Day
was, is and will be a beacon for the struggles of yesterday and tomorrow
despite our enemies’ efforts. May Day has to be a message of resistance against
bourgeoisie, imperialists and their international alliances’ policies.
At
the same time, the workers’ blood which was shed in Chicago on 1886 reminds us
of our duty today; it reminds us that nothing is given for free; every right or
freedom that was conquered by our class has been won through sacrifices,
conflicts and organized struggles.
Today,
whilst technology and scientific progress have contributed to the increase of
the produced social wealth, our class’ living conditions have been
deteriorating. In every capitalist country, the bosses attack our class
achievements: they are sweeping through salaries, pensions and social security;
they are privatizing everything, they don’t hesitate to attack even the sacred
right to strike! Strike is the most powerful weapon we have in our hands and we
are not going to allow anyone to limit, confine or convert it to a dead letter!
At
the same time, they are intensively preparing and conducting regional wars. They
pave the way for new massacres that will maximize their profits, for new
imperialist interventions that will destroy nations, spill peoples’ blood and
deprive them of their natural resources. The ongoing imperialist intervention
in Libya and Syria, the growing aggression against Venezuela, the US decision
to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, the massacre of Saudi Arabia
against Yemen, the tension on the Korean peninsula, they are all indications
that multinationals have smelled new profitability areas; and every time this
goes through the dead bodies of workers.
Under
the current conditions of the deep economic crisis of capitalism and intense
competition among various imperialist centers to control new markets, our most
powerful weapons are INTERNATIONALISM and SOLIDARITY. No worker must feel
alone. All together, we must move on with Solidarity and Internationalism,
building the Unity of the working class to give practical effect to Karl Marx’s
motto “proletarians of all countries unite”.
In
this context, and on this anniversary, the WFTU expresses its solidarity with
our persecuted brothers, the immigrants and refugees, who either because of
imperialists’ bullets or because of poverty and misery generated by this
system, are forced to leave their homeland. The WFTU will continue to be on
their side, fighting for a world without exploitation and refugees. Immigrants
must become an integral part of unions, unite with local workers and fight
together for wages, rights, against wars and interventions.
We
join our voice with the heroic Palestinian people in order to gain their own
independent and democratic homeland.
At the
same time, we stand by the side of the struggling female worker, the one who
suffers from double exploitation. The WFTU female members, at the recent World
Women’s Congress in Panama, declared loud and clear that they want equal rights
to work, society and life. The WFTU also fights and will continue to fight for
this equality. It’s the same orientation that we follow for the the youngsters,
as the new generation of workers have the task to honor the best May Day
struggle traditions.
This
year, the WFTU, by giving its hand to anyone who has stood up, has announced
the year of trade union education and training. Our purpose is that the new
shifts of workers be insubordinate, militant, enemies of class compromise and
collaboration. We honor the year of trade union training and we call on every
union to contribute to the militant truth, revealing the true meaning of May
Day and the sacrifices the working class made for it. By rescuing the past, the
very memory of our movement, we leave a legacy for tomorrow’s struggles and we
also have a tool for the future. It is a duty to know the history of our
movement.
The
WFTU takes steps forward, strengthens and grows: and that’s what frightens our
opponents. There is no other way than to make it present everywhere, in every
corner of the world, so that there is no longer a hungry, dismissed, hunted or
persecuted worker. The WFTU must be a “trench” of struggle for a future without
exploitation of man by man. This is how the vision of the first Secretary
General of the WFTU, Luis Saillant, envisioned in 1945 will be brought to life:
“The WFTU for the workers of the whole world!”
LONG
LIVE MAY DAY!
WFTU Secretariat
