The General Secretaries,
All
Affiliated Unions,
Dear Coms,
Sub: JOINT ACTION PROGRAMME
Your attention is
invited towards the resolutions passed by the 88th Annual Conference of All India Railwaymen’s Federation
wherein along with our other demands, we had emphasized on setting up of Seventh Central Pay Commission and scrapping New Pension
Scheme.
We have discussed the
issue with the leaders of the Confederation of Central Government Employees
& Workers as well as All India Defence Employees Federation and all of them
are in agreement with the view of All India Railwaymen’s Federation on the
above issued and have agree to forge a broad-base unity as also constituting a
Joint Forum of all the three organizations to fight out these issues with the
Central Government. Keeping this in view, all the three organizations, i.e. All India Railwaymen’s Federation,
Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers as well as All
India Defence Employees Federation, have decided to organize joint Demonstrations
in front of all the offices of all the offices at our Branch Headquarters throughout
the Indian Railways on 29th
April, 2013.
All the affiliated
unions of AIRF in Zonal Railways and Production Units are, therefore, requested
to organize demonstrations unitedly with the above-mentioned organizations for
setting up of Seventh Central Pay Commission
and withdrawal of PFRDA Bill.
All of you are
requested to send telegrams to the Prime Minister and report of these joint demonstrations
be sent to Zonal Headquarters of the unions as well as to AIRF office
positively by 3rd May, 2013.
We will review the situation in the month of May.
We know that all of
you would be hard pressed in the secret ballot elections, scheduled to be held
on 25-27 April, 2013 and during these days you will be too busy in mass contact
programmes.
I hope, this decision of the Action
Programme will be propagated by you among the mass while you will be on
tour for secret ballot elections campaign.
A copy of the Joint Letter of the aforementioned three organizations
is being enclosed herewith for you information which is self-explanatory.
Comradely yours,

Dear Comrades,
As you are aware, the Government in
reply to a question raised in the Parliament has stated that setting up of the
7th Central Pay Commission for effecting wage revision of central
Government employees is not presently under its consideration. You will recall,
that a similar statement was made by the then Finance Minister, when the demand
for setting up the 6th CPC was raised by the employees. The Joint
movement of the Central Government employees, for which we created the platform
of the Steering Committee of the organizations participating in the JCM under
the leadership of Late Com. J.P. Chaubey, the then General Secretary of All
India Railway men Federation could ensure that the Government rescind its stand
then and set up the 6th CPC. The real value of wages determined by
the 6th CPC has now been eroded to the extent of above 100% due to
the unprecedented inflation in the economy and spiralling rise in the prices of
essential commodities. While the Government permits wage negotiation and
revision in the fully owned Public Sector Undertakings every five years, the
denial to revise the wages of Central Government employees despite such large
scale erosion in the real value of wages is absolutely unjustified.
The Government had been persisting
with the enactment of the PRFDA Bill in the Parliament in almost all sessions
ever since the UPA II Government took over. Ironically they could elicit
support from the main Opposition Party in the country for this ill advised
enactment. Lakhs of new workers who have joined in various organizations of the
Government since 2004 are worried of their future, which is forlorn and bleak,
in the wake of the denial of an age old social security of Pension. We have
been Parliament in 2003. However, our efforts, actions and objections have all
been ignored with disdain by the Government. Though they could not muster
enough support required to pass the bill in the Parliament, the Union Cabinet
has recently taken the decision to allow 49% FDI in the pension fund.
We are to channelize our efforts
through a wider platform of unity. Efforts are on anvil to bring about such
platform. In the meantime, we have decided to call upon all units and branches
of AIRF, Confederation and AIDEF to organize Demonstrations on 29th
April, 2013, in front of all offices and send the following telegram to the
Prime Minister.
WITHDRAW
PFRDA BILL AND SET UP THE 7TH CPC
TO EFFECT WAGE
REVISION OF CENTRAL

EMPLOYEES.
