MAGNIFICENT STRIKE BY CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES

Posted by Secretary General on 2/29/2012 11:16:00 AM with No comments


CONFEDERATION OF

CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES AND WORK
 Manishinath Bhawan, A/2/95 Rajouri Garden

 New Delhi. 110 027                                                               Date: 28th February 2012

PRESS STATEMENT

The General Strike of Indian working class for which the call was given by the Central Trade Unions and endorsed by all the Federations and the Central and State Govt. Employees elicited the largest participation today. The increased participation of workers in the industrial action was indicative of the growing realization of the need to struggle against the present economic policies of the Govt. of India.

The Central Govt. employees throughout the country responded to the call admirably in as much as the strike was almost total in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, Manipur and about 80% in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, and partial in Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Arunachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Orissa and Gujarat.

The strike was no doubt an impressive reflection of the total discontent of the employees over the various policy decisions like scrapping of the existing pension scheme, outsourcing, contractorisation and privatisation which have threatened the job security. The increasing prices of essential commodities had added to the agony and despite periodical wage increase through the system of Dearness Compensation, the employees found it difficult to make the both ends meet with the existing emoluments.

The Confederation National Secretariat while congratulating the Central Govt. Employees in general for the total co-operation in making the strike action a grand success, particularly place on record the exemplary and magnificent achievement of Income Tax Employees Federation and All India Central Ground Water Board Employees Association, who could make cent percent of their members to participate in the strike.

We once again call upon the affiliates to go ahead with the preparation of the next strike action in pursuance of the 14-point Charter of Demands which are of exclusive concern to Central Government Employees.

Dear Comrades,
                  As decided in the Central Executive Committee Meeting of the AICEIA held at Hyderabad on 27th and 28th of January, 2012, the Association served its Strike Notice on 6th of February, 2012; a few Circles and Branches had already forwarded Strike Notice and charter of demand to the respective authorities; Circles & Branches who have not yet forwarded the strike notice yet are requested to forward the same immediately to their respective authorities.
All the circles and branches are hereby requested to hold unit level meeting in every corner of their respective cadre controlling zones on the issues pertaining to the 28th February Strike.
               As decided in the CEC Hyderabad, office bearers asked for an appointment with the Chairman & Mem(P&V) on the following points:

  • Minimum fixation after correction of Grade pay from Rs. 4200/- to Rs. 4600/- should be implemented forthwith.
  • Clarifications on the Inter Commissionerate transfer as requested by the association should be issued immediately.
  • Implementation of Judgment dt.17.1.2012 of the CAT Bombay Bench for notional fixation of revised pay scale from 01.01.1996.

  • PFRDA bill should be scrapped and all possible help to the working classes organisation would be initiated for this.
  • Inspectors of 2002 batch should be promoted in this restructuring across the country.
  • Base cadre seniority to be taken as the criteria for the promotions to Gr.A posts in the CBEC.
  • Regional disparities in the grade of Inspector to Superintendent promotion should be wiped off in the ensuing cadre restructuring.
  • Superintendent’s grade pay should start from 5400/- grade pay.
  • All vacancies in the Inspector grade should be filled up immediately.

In the letter itself it was intimated to the Board that the Association was going for a lunch hour demonstration on 8th Feb, 2012. Board, thereafter, called us and a meeting took place under the Chairmanship of the Member (P&V), Joint Secretary(ADMN.), D.G (HRD), ADG(HRM), Director (AD-IIA) & Deputy Secretary(AD-IIIB).
The gist of the outcome of the meeting as stated by the official side:
·         Board has sent the reply to the queries made by the D.O.P&T
·         Special dispensation has already been made for North Eastern Region to remove stagnation, for the other eight zones Board is in the process of working it out.  
·         Regional disparity would not be solved immediately, but a few stagnating zones like Maharastra, M.P & Chattisgarh, Pune & Chandigarh etc shall get relief through this restructuring.
Base cadre seniority & Grade Pay of Rs. 5400/- could not be resolved as both the issues are purportedly sub-judice.

·         Regarding the notional fixation wef 1.1.1996,  Board is ready to forward our file to expenditure as soon as the CAT Bombay Bench Judgment is implemented in CBDT. In fact it is intimated to us that a file containing similar proposal and two VVIP references are still pending in Expenditure.

The meeting was presided over by Mr. Gaikwad from Central Excise and Sri B.D.Survey from Customs. The meeting observed with great despair that the CBEC has not yet bothered to call Joint Action Committee after a lapse of one complete year.
It was unanimously decided that Board and the different formations of Government of India have to complete the Cadre restructuring process immediately taking in to account the submission made by the Joint Action Committee in CBEC on 25.01.2011; Hence, it was unanimously decided that All the organizations shall:
