CIRCULAR- 09

                                                                                                        Dated: 20.12.2010

                                           CIRCULAR- 09/10

Dear Comrades,

I take this opportunity to wish you Merry Christmas and a Happy & prosperous New Year 2011.

Let us all pray that the New Year should bring the best for all of us.

Confederation convened a national executive meeting in Mumbai on 1^st December 2010 our Vice President (South) and President Chennai Circle attended the meeting. The meeting had discussed of the need to make the Workers march to Parliament programme slated for 23^rd Feb. 2011 a grand success by eliciting the participation of large number of employees and workers.   We have to discuss the issue in our C.E.C meeting and have to take the decision to mobilise large number of our members in the march. 

        
 As discussed in Indore CEC the All India Association struggled hard to form a Joint Action committee at the apex level to fight out several atrocities unleashed by the Government as well as our department from time to time. A meeting of different recognized Associations of CBEC was held in Kolkata on 31.10.2010.  We are sorry to say that, this time also we could not catch hold of Superintendent Associations’ hand inspite of the fact that this Central Excise Gazetted Officers Association decided in their Association to include themselves in the Departmental Joint Action Committee.

         Now, it is well-known to you all that at the behest of Revenue Secretary, a meeting was convened at Member (P&V)’s chamber on 10^th of November 2010 and after a brief dithering the cadre restructuring proposal was handed over to the Joint Action Committee and all other cadre associations as well. On 25^th of November, 2010 Joint Action Committee submitted its cadre wise reaction on the draft proposal. On 16^th of December, 2010 all the Associations of Central Excise met Chairman at New Delhi, wherein it was assured by the Chairman that the cadre Associations will be called again and CBEC is trying to rectify the proposal taking into consideration representations given by the cadre Associations. It was assured to the representatives of our Association that a solution for regional disparity would be arrived and Associations shall get another opportunity to discuss over the subject.

        On 15^th instant we met Member (P&V) and discussed over the following:

·        Chennai High Court case on NFSG

·        Cadre Restructuring

·        ICT

We requested Member (P&V) not to go for appeal/ review application. In this regard, it was intimated that the file sent to Expenditure and it will be taken care of as and when it comes back form Expenditure. In the mean time we have enquired about the said subject in Expenditure and apprehension is there that Expenditure may go for S.L.P in Supreme Court. Hence it is decided that the Association would help the individual in filing CAVEAT and shall try to engage senior counsel in this regard. Hence, legal fund is utmost necessary. Accordingly, units are requested to contribute to this legal fund generously and quota for this legal fund would be intimated very soon.

16^th Convention of AICEIA could not be held now for (require) indecision of venue & fund (unwillingness from different zones) and for the point raised by various Branches and Circles to extend the tenure of the present committee for few more months as per Article 14 sub clause (i) of our Constitution in order to complete the ensuing cadre restructuring and few more burning issues which are on the card. Hence, All India Association is going to organise its 4^th CEC at New Delhi.

The Central Executive Committee of AICEIA is scheduled to meet at Banga Sanksriti Sadan, Muktadhara, New Delhi on On 5^th of February 2011, The copy of the notice of the said meeting follows. All Branches and Circles are requested to kindly make it convenient to send delegates/Office Bearers for the meeting.

We sincerely hope that we will be able to make up for the organisational weakness suffered by our cadre for the past few years and meaningfully proceed on matters concerning the cadre and department.

         I request the recipients of this Circular to kindly circulate it widely so that it reaches every one concerned. It is requested that this may kindly be taken as a personal invitation on behalf of the Cadre.

          Units which are not participating in our CEC meetings and not communicating with us regarding their subscription due to the All India Association will be declared non-members after the decision of the CEC, New Delhi.

            All the units have to reach New Delhi by 4^th of February 2011 as the meeting will be for a single day from 9.00 A.M. to 6.00 P.M. We express regret for the fact that the cost for food and lodging has to be borne by the individual Associations; we are going to book a Hotel room near the venue and that will be intimated in due time. Units willing to stay with All India Association may intimate us in advance.

           Once again hoping that representatives from all over India will meet at the CEC on 5^th of February and take important decisions and implement them in a decisive manner

To

The President,

All office Bearers,

Circle and Branch Secretaries                                              Comradely Yours
