“DEFEAT
THE DISASTROUS NEO-LIBERAL POLICIES
DEFEAT
THE ANTI-LABOUR RULING CLASS POLITICS BEHIND IT”
10th JUNE 2018-HYDERABAD
STRIKE
DECLARATION NATIONAL CONVENTION OF CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES
Venue : SUNDARAIYYA
VIGNANA KENDRAM, BAGALINGAMPALLY, HYDERABAD
Time : 10
AM to 5 PM
Dear
Comrades,
Attack
on the working class and peasants as a whole and Central Government Employees
in particular are mounting day by day. The entire working class and peasantry
are on struggle path. The farmers long march in Maharashtra is the latest mass
struggle. None of the 7th CPC related demands of Central
Government Employees are settled. The assurance given by the Group of Ministers
to the NJCA leaders regarding increase in Minimum Pay and Fitment formula is in
paper even after a lapse of 20 months. Now the Finance Minister has replied in
Parliament that “no change in Minimum Pay and Fitment formula is at present
under consideration”. Employees who joined service after 01.01.2004 are
retiring with a megre pension of 1000 to 2000 rupees only under the NPS Scheme.
In effect, New Pension System has become No Pension System. Six lakhs posts are
lying vacant for the last many years and now Govt. has issued orders to abolish
all posts lying vacant for more than five years. HRA arrears, MACP Bench mark,
Option-I for pensioners – Govt. is not ready to reconsider their stand. Three
lakhs Gramin Dak Sevaks of the Postal department are waiting for two years for
their legitimate wage revision. Exploitation of Casual and contract workers
continue and equal pay for equal work is denied to them. Large scale
outsourcing and privatization has become the order of the day. Privatisation of
Railways and outsourcing of the work done by Defence employees are in full
swing. 12 out of 17 Govt. of India Printing Presses are ordered to be closed.
Same is the fate with other departmental printing presses including Railway
printing presses. Autonomous body employees and pensioners are denied their
rightful wage revision and pension revision due to the stringent conditions
imposed by the Finance Ministry. Compassionate appointments have become a
mirage.
Trade
Union rights are denied. Orders banning dharna and demonstrations are issued.
The draconian FR 56 (j) and Pension Rules 48 are misused as a short-cut to
punish and victimize employees. JCM forums have become mere talking shops
without any positive results. Recognition under CCS (RSA) Rules are delayed and
Departmental Councils have become dead in many departments. Govt. sponsored unions
are given undue patronage. Recognition of fighting organisations are withdrawn
on flimsy grounds and trade union facilities are denied to the Chief Executives
of recognised Associations.
It is
in this background the National Secretariat of Confederation of Central
Government employees & Workers has decided to fight back these retrograde
policies by mobilizing the entire Central Government employees by unleashing
intensive campaign throughout the country culminating in strike. To
declare the compaign programme and the strike, a “National Convention of
Central Government Employees” will be held at Hyderabad on 10th June
2018 Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM.
Eminent
trade Union leaders will attend the Convention. Venue of the National
Convention is Sundaraiyya Vigmana Kendra, Bagalingampally, Hyderabad. About
1000 delegates from all states will attend the Convention.
The
following quota is fixed for affiliates and COCs outside Andhra and Telangana.
