CONVENTION A GRAND SUCCESS.
Dear Comrades,
The Union
cabinet approved the finance Ministry’s proposal on terms of reference of the 7th
CPC, we have placed the full text of the same on our website. None of the
suggestions made by the Staff Side was accepted by the Government.
However, our
concern over the date of effect seems to have been taken note of. The terms of
reference has left the effective date of its recommendations to be decided by the
commission itself. A united stand backed up by struggles will enable us to
clinch this demand in our favour. Undoubtedly it has been our endeavors and
the two days strike action that has compelled the Government to have rethinking
on their earlier stand of Decennial (Ten years) wage revision for Central
Government employees and the date of effect as 1/1/2016.
Unlike on the
earlier occasion, the Government has not decided to grant Interim Relief and
merger of Dearness allowance. Nor has it asked the Commission to consider and
make appropriate recommendation in this regard specifically. As pointed out in
our earlier communication, inclusion of a labour representative in the
commission being not an idar the UPA Government cherishes, for it is diametrically
opposite to its economic policies and ideology, they have stuck to the position
of sandwiching the Honorable Judge with bureaucrats. In the light of the
agreement penned by Com. Mahadeviah, the General Secretary of the recognized
GDS union with the Postal Board to the
effect that a separate one man committee will look into the service conditions
of the Grameen Dak Sewaks, it is not surprising that the Government chose to
ignore our demand to cover them within the ambit of the 7th CPC. Our
demands for parity between the past and present pensioners and scrapping of the
new pension scheme also stand rejected.
As you are
aware, the 6th CPC (and the earlier Commission also) had refused to
entertain the demand for removal of anomalies despite Government referring the
same to the Commission specifically. Therefore, the omnibus clause in the terms
of reference requiring the Commission to submit interim reports may not be of
any help to us to raise the anomalies before the 7th CPC.
At the
conclusion of the meeting held on 24/10/2013 by Secretary, DoPT, with the staff
side on terms of reference of the 7th CPC, it was agreed that the
Government will consider our suggestion in the matter and will convene another meeting
with the presence of Secretary (Expenditure) to iron out the differences, if
any, and explore the possibilities of an agreement in the matter. But no such
meeting was convened and no attempt was made by the official side to arrive at
an agreed Terms of Reference.
We must now
react to the arbitrary and unilateral decision of the Government. We appeal all the State
Secretaries, District Secretaries and Branch Secretaries of the affiliated organisations
and the State/District COCs to immediately send the following Savingram to the
Prime Minister.
THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES WORKING IN THE ,................................................…………….(NAME
OF STATION)/OFFICE OF……………………………………….CONDEMN THE ATTITUDE OF THE GOVERNMENT IN
NOT HONORING ITS COMMITMENT OF HOLDING DISCUSSION WITH THE STAFF SIDE JCM
NATIONAL COUNCIL BEFORE FINALIZING THE TERMS OF REFERENCE OF THE 7TH
CPC AND DEMAND IMMEDIATE ACCEPTANCE OF :
- Interim Relief
- Merger of DA
- Bringing the Grameen Dak Sewaks within the ambit of the 7th CPC.
- Date of effect from 1/1/2014
- Parity in Pension entitlement between the past and present pensioners
- Coverage of the existing defined benefit pension scheme to employees recruited on or after 1.1.2014.
- Include a representative of the Labour in the 7th Central Pay Commission.
- Settle the anomalies raised in the National Anomaly Committee.
While the
National Convention Scheduled to be held at Nagpur will chalk out detailed and
phased programmes of action, we call upon our State Committees and Affiliated Unions to organise massive
demonstration in front of all offices and important centres on 7th
March, 2014 (Friday) or any other immediate convenient date. Kindly
instruct all the Branches to mobilise their members so that the demonstration
has the participation of cent per cent of the membership of the concerned
branch. The State Units and affiliated Unions may issue pamphlets and poster
and ensure its wide circulation throughout the country.
As already declared by the
National Secretariat of the Confederation, We shall have to go for an indefinite strike
action immediately after the General Election if our demands are to be settled.
With Greetings,
Yours fraternally
M. KRISHNAN
Secretary General,
