Circular 09-2018


15/1089-90, VASUNDHARA, VASUNDHARA (P.O.), Dt. GHAZIABAD (U.P), PIN-201012

Reference: AIA/Circular-09/2018                                                       Dated:  24th May 2018

To
Unit Secretaries,
Members & Spl. Invitees – NE &
Members of Women’s Committee


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
