POLICY &
PROGRAMME RESOLUTION
Adopted by the 47th
Conference of at Nagpur on 8th to 11th August 2016
The
47th Conference of All India Audit & Accounts Association held
at Nagpur, Maharashtra from 8th to 11th August 2016 after
having deliberated on developments since the 46th Conference of 2013
at Guwahati in various fronts came to the conclusion that the attack on the
livelihood of the common man is on the rise. Misery upon misery is heaped on
the common man through different policy initiatives and legislations at the
behest of crony capitalist forces. The promised “achhe din”, the thrust of the 2014 electioneering by the
present day ruling dispensation, has just remained as slogan, as the common man
is subjected to every kind of misery, be it because of rising prices of
essential commodities or rising tensions on trivial issues.
The decisions to allow unbridled entry of FDI
in every sector including Railways, Defence and retail has thrown big question
mark on the future of the nation and its economic independence. The fast moves
to open up the Indian labour markets to the mercy of corporate world are
something that should alarm each one of us. The hard earned rights that the
worker earned through sacrifices of many are being upturned. The proposed
changes to the labour laws of the country are to be fought back at any cost.
The
All India Audit & Accounts Association welcomes the efforts of the Trade
Unions and mass organisations to bring the unity of all the working class and
democratic movements in the fight against these anti people policies of the
government. The united action of organising one day strike on 2nd
September 2015 and the decision to go for another one day strike on 2nd
September 2016 are the only hopes of suffering people to resist and repulse the
attack of the government on their livelihood. We hail the unity achieved by
these movements and now the Audit employees can safely join the movement under
the broad umbrella of the Central Trade Unions. This Conference is of the
conscious view that the naked anti people, anti worker and pro-capitalist force
policies of the government can be resisted and fought back through sustained
and continuous united actions of the working class and people at large. The 47th
Conference of All India Audit & Accounts Association held at Nagpur from 8th
to 11th August 2016 therefore, unanimously resolve to join every
struggle decided by the Central Trade Unions and independent Federations and
endorsed by Confederation of central Government Employees & Workers against
the anti worker, anti people economic policies, including the proposed one day
strike on 2nd September 2016.
Part – II
The
47th Conference records its total rejection of the recommendations
of the 7 CPC on the demands of the central government employees on minimum
wage, fitment factor, MACPS etc. The Conference further rejects its proposals
on the pay scales recommended to Audit & Accounts cadres, ignoring all
scientific and factual presentations. This Conference concludes that the
recommendations of the 7 CPC has perpetuated the ill-treatment of the audit and
accounts cadres at the hands of the executive.
The
47th Conference further resolves to continue the struggle under the
banner of Confederation of Central Govt Employees and Workers for securing
negotiated settlement on all the outstanding issues and also for revival and
effective functioning of JCM at all levels.
The
demand for restructuring of cadres in IA&AD is not going to be achieved by
merely raising demands. This Conference
of the considered view that long drawn struggles are required to achieve it.
The 47th Conference, therefore, resolves to pursue the demands
organisationally and legally, wherever required and feasible, independently as
well as under the banner of Joint Action Committee of Accounts and Audit Employees
and Officers Organisations.
This
47th Conference calls upon all the personnel in IA&AD to rally
under the banner of All India Audit & Accounts Association in pursuance of
the charter of demands given below. This Conference makes a special appeal to all
those who were misled to return to the parent organisation, in the larger
interest of the audit and accounts fraternity.
This 47th
Conference here-by adopts the following Charter of Demands.

SUCCESSFUL STRIKE ON 2ND
SEPTEMBER 2016 -
MORE THAN 15 CRORE WORKERS STRUCK
WORK
HQrs
of All India Audit & Accounts Association extends its warm greetings to
more than 15 crore workers for the successful strike on 2nd September
against the disastrous economic policies pursued by the government of the day
and in pursuance of the 12 point charter of demands. We also greet all the
central government employees for their participation in the strike called by
the Central Trade Unions.
Our
members participated in the strike in Kerala, Bengaluru, Guwahati, Agartala,
Kolkata and Chandigarh (Punjab). In Hyderabad, Gwalior and Delhi the Executive
Committee went on strike and held demonstrations. In Chennai, Allahabad and
Bhopal lunch hour demonstrations were held. In Kolkata, the Executive Committee
and activists participated in the strike and sat on dharna in offices of AG
(A&E), AG (Audit) and DGA (Central) whereas the strike was total in other
offices.
We
once again greet all the workers for their splendid participation in the one
day strike on 2nd September 2016. Press Statement issued by
Confederation is enclosed.
We
take this opportunity to have self introspection with regard to the
participation of audit & accounts personnel in the strike so that
corrective steps are taken for future.
CONDEMN INVOKING OF ESMA ON NURSES’
STRIKE IN DELHI
The
Aam Aadmi Party led Govt in Delhi and Lt General of Delhi are one in crushing
the strike by Nurses of various state & central govt hospitals of Delhi
demanding rectification of anomalies out of 7 CPC recommendations. Instead of
engaging the striking Nurses through negotiations the Delhi Govt has invoked
Essential Service Maintenance Act (ESMA) to deal with the strike. This shows
the anti-working class character of AAP Govt of Delhi. We condemn the brutality
unleashed on the Nurses of Delhi.
With
greetings,
Yours fraternally
(M.S.Raja)
Secretary General
