To

Chief Executives of

Constituent Organisations &

Conveners, Local JACs

 

Dear Comrades,

           

As scheduled, the meeting of the apex level JAC was held on 13th December, 2008 in Delhi. The meeting was attended by Com. M. S. Raja, Chairman (AIA&AA), Com. V.Bhattacharjee, Convener (AICAEA), Com S.K. Vyas, Chairman, Confederation, R.N.Gupta, Secretary General, AIAPAO(C), Com. S. Santoshkumar, Addl. Secretary General, AIPAEA, Com. V. Nageswara Rao, JAC, AP, Com. A. S. Rawat, Chairman, JAC, Delhi, Com. A. K. Mehta, Convener, JAC, Delhi and Com. M. B. Singh, Br. Secy. AICAEA, Delhi Branch.

 

The meeting was presided over by Com. M.S. Raja, Chairman. On the Basis of the proposals placed at the time of initiating the discussion by Com. V. Bhattacharjee regarding formulation of a fresh Charter of common demands of the Accounts &Audit cadres, all the representatives of the Constituent organisations and local JACs offered their suggestions in favour of adopting a common charter of Demands.

 

The meeting also reviewed the Status of the pending arbitration award in respect of grant of higher pay scale to Sr.Accountant/Auditor w.e.f 1-1-1986 notionally and actually from a mutually agreed date on the basis of the discussion held on 25th November 2008 between a delegation of Confederation (comprising Com. S. K.Vyas, Chairman, Com. K. K.N.Kutty, Secretary General, Com. V. Bhattacharjee, Secretary, Com. K. Raghabendran, Secretary General, NFPE and Com. P. Rajnayagam, General Secretary, AIPAEA) and the JS(Per) in the Ministry of Finance. It was observed from this discussion that the Government is in its attempt of rejecting all the 16 awards pending. As far as the issue of grant of parity with Central Secretariat w.e.f.1-1-86 notionally has not also been considered by the Government keeping the proposals given in the meetings of recent past by the staff side (JCM) in view. However, Chairman of the Confederation has issued a letter to the Ministry of Finance and DOPT immediately after the meeting of 25th November pointing out the discussions held in the earlier meetings and demanded implementation of the award notionally w.e.f. 1-1-86 and effectively from 1-1-2006.

 

After threadbare discussion, the meeting adopted the following demands as draft charter of demands- 

1.       Implement arbitration award by granting higher pay scale notionally w.e.f.1-1-1986 and effectively w.e.f 1-1-2006.

2.       upgrade LDCs by re-designating them as Acctts/Audit Assistants and following pay sales to different cadres-

Accounts/Audit Assistant                                           PB-1 with Grade Pay Rs.2800

             Accountant/Auditor/ Steno Gr.II                                PB-2 with Grade Pay Rs.4200

             Sr. Accountant/Auditor/ Steno Gr.I                            PB-2 with Grade Pay Rs.4600

             SO/JAO/AAO/PS                                                        PB-2 with Grade Pay Rs.4800

                                                                                                  PB-3 with Grade Pay Rs.5400

                                                                                                  On completion of 4 years.

3.       Grant ACP on departmental hierarchy basis.

4.        Grant one increment and Grade pay of Rs.4800 from the day of passing JAO/SOG examination.

5.       Grant three increments on passing departmental confirmatory examination.

6.        Step up pay of Senior Promotees who exhausted ACP in the event of junior drawing more pay and getting ACP in compliance with apex court judgment.

7.       Grant recognition to Railway Accounts Staff Association.

 

The meeting also decided that the charter of Demands shall be circulated to all for sending their view and suggestions.

 

It has also been decided by the meeting that the apex JAC shall meet at Chennai on 11th January 2009 to finalise the charter of demands and decide about the course of organisational action(s) to be taken in support of the demands. All local JAC representatives are also to attend.

 

As the National Executive meeting of the Confederation has taken the decision of indefinite strike from 20th January 2009 and asked its affiliates to incorporate departmental demands in addition to the charter of demands adopted by the Confederation for the Strike, the JAC has decided that the constituents of apex JAC shall incorporate first six demands from the above charter of demands in their departmental charter of demands. 

 

With warm greetings,

 

 

Yours fraternally,

Dear Comrades,

 

MANIFEST SOLIDARITY WITH INSURANCE WORKERS

Hold demonstration, rally in support of flash strike by Insurance workers

Lakhs of Insurance workers would strike work on 23rd December 2008, the day after the bill permitting FDI upto 49% in Insurance Sector would be tabled in the Parliament.

At a time when the world is experiencing one of the worst financial recession, when banks in US have gone burst, the proponents of 'all' privatisation and competition is pumping people's tax money to save private, mismanaged corporate houses, in India if no banks have gone bankrupt, or insurance did not face the shock it was because public sector pays the pivotal role.   This was ensured by the consistent and sustained fight of the workers. Similarly workers and employees did not lose their provident fund money or pension in India as it happened in Europe and US as we fought and stopped the PFRDA bill.

In US, AIG (American International Group) - the biggest Insurance company – and ilk have to be saved by the US government by its rescue operation worth 70000 million dollars (nearly 3.5lakh crores of Rupees), resulting into government's take over of the companies.

When the role models of privatisation are rolling back their actions and nationalising the private corporate entities, in India despite the clear writing on the wall we are moving a bill to increase the FDI cap in insurance sector! No doubt, it is a precursor to pushing of PFRDA Bill and amendment to Banking Regulatory Act. And it is to help transnational corporate sharks to appropriate the people's money to make good of their losses elsewhere. That much is the commitment of the present government to the workers and employees and loyalty to international fraudsters!

When the workers of the Insurance sector would be on strike, it is our bounden duty, nay, it is in our own interest that we join the protest by manifesting our solidarity by holding demonstrations and rallies.

The solidarity action may be done, as far as possible, under the COC/Confederation banner.

            With greetings,

Yours fraternally

Dated: 17th December, 2008

Dear Comrade.

This is in continuation of our Circular No. D-20/ dated 13.12.08. As discussed in National Executive, the modified Charter of Demand is enclosed.

The National Executive has decided to organize campaign conventions in all state capitals preferably between 6th and 9th June 2009. The tour programme of the members of the Sect. of the Confederation is enclosed. The COC may kindly take steps to convene the convention on the prescribed dates without fail. It will be difficult to change the date as such change will bring about a cascading effect and will make the programme impracticable. Therefore, the COCs may adhere to the date. The Convention for Gujarat has to be changed for 12th Jan. 08 beyond the time schedule prescribed by the National Executive. This was unavoidable due to the reason that Com. S.K.Vyas would not be able to reach Mumbai on 8th Jan. 2009.

The Rally to be organized at Delhi on 2.01.09 must have representative participation from all over the country. The No. of comrades who must be deployed by the concerned COC for the purpose of joining the said rally is indicated hereunder. The COC may kindly ensure that they do deploy the stipulated No. of Comrades i.e. the minimum for participation in the rally.

With greeting
