LDC-UDC ISSUE: A STEP FORWARD

DEPARTMENT OF EXPENDITURE WRITES TO FA, DoPT

Dear friends,

While going through the letter of the Ministry of Finance, as given below, it has become more clear that the Ministry of Finance is not willing to consider the genuine case of  Lakhs of LDC & UDC of the Government of India Offices. It appears, the Ministry of Finance proposes Ministry/Department wise restructuring(with the provision of reduction of number of posts while applying matching/saving) of the posts. the proposal is not practical since the LDC & UDC are common cadres and spread over the entire Government of India Offices of various Ministries unless the MoF/DoPT clarifies the position further. In this context, the matter was discussed  in the National Executive Meeting of the Confederation and the decision taken in it is given below. Thus all of us should prepare for the action as proposed by the Confederation. I feel it would be better if we exibit our unity/strength in the proposed Nation wide Mass Dharna called by the Confederation  on 9th January 2014 at Delhi. I have discussed the matter with some like minded Associations who will also attending the Dharna Programme. All our friends are requested to give their valuable comments/opinion so that we may take the appropriate action on the matter.

UPGRADATION OF GRADE PAY OF LDC-UDC – LETTER RECEIVED FROM FINANCE MINISTRY

Copy of the letter received from Ministry of Finance is exhibited below. Com. T. K. R. Pillai, General Secretary, All India Association of Ministerial Staff (NG)  has raised this issue in the National Secretariat meeting of the Confederation held at New Delhi on 28.11.2013. After detailed deliberations Com. S. K. Vyasji, Advisor, Confederation & JCM National Council, Standing Committee member has opined that eventhough this issue is a part of Anomaly Committee, due to non-holding of the Committee no finality has been reached till now. As Government has announced 7^th CPC there is every possibility of Government referring the anomalies to 7^th CPC. Hence he advised Com. T. K. R. Pillai to seek legal remedy also while continuing our efforts to settle the issue in the Anomaly Committee.

GET READY FOR STRIKE

CONFEDERATION OF CENTRAL GOVT. EMPLOYEES & WORKERS

      1^st Floor, North Avenue PO Building, New Delhi – 110001

CIRCULAR NO. 10                                                                                            DATED – 29.11.2013

GET READY FOR STRIKE

CONFEDERATION NATIONAL SECRETARIAT DECIDES TO ORGANIZE PHASED AGITATIONAL PROGRAMMES CULMINATING IN STRIKE

NO COMPROMISE ON THE TERMS OF REFERENCE OF 7^th CPC SUBMITTED BY THE STAFF SIDE

1.         The National Secretariat of the Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers met at New Delhi on 28.11.2013 and reviewed the situation arising out of the Government’s announcement of Seventh Central Pay Commission and the subsequent developments thereon.

2.         Eventhough Government has announced constitution of 7^th Central Pay Commission, the appointment is yet to take place. In the meanwhile one round of discussion was held with Secretary, DOP&T on terms of reference. Subsequently, the staff side, JCM National Council has submitted a unanimous proposal on the items to be included in the terms of reference of the 7^th CPC, which includes (i) date of effect as 01.01.2014 (2) merger of DA with pay (3) grant of interim relief (4) inclusion of GDS under the ambit of 7^th CPC (5) statutory pension for those entered into service on or after 01.01.2004 (6) settlement of anomalies of 6^th CPC (7) cashless/hassle-free medicare facilities etc.

Government while announcing the 7^th CPC has made it clear that the date of effect will be 01.01.2016. Further nothing has been mentioned about DA merger and interim relief. Regarding GDS the declared stand of the Government is that GDS are not civil servants and in the past also every time when CPC is appointed, the Government refused to include them in the Pay commission. Last time also inspite of the strong protest and agitational programmes conducted by NFPE and Postal JCA, the Government has appointed a bureaucratic committee. Regarding statutory pension to those who entered into service on or after 01.01.2004, the Government’s stand is well known and it may refuse to include this item also in the terms of reference.

This being the position, our past experience shows that unless and until the demands raised in the staff side proposal submitted to Government on terms of reference of the CPC is backed by serious agitational programmes, rallying the entire Central Government Employees and create compulsion on the Government to accept our justified stand, there is every possibility of Government rejecting the above proposal.

Further all of us are aware that the political situation in the country is gradually getting in election mode. This is bringing forth before the working class movement a crucial task of front-loading our class issues in the ensuring political battle. We have to keep in mind that the corporate class and corporate controlled media has started making effort for relegating the working class issues and the economic policy related issues in particular to the background. It is our duty to bring the demands of the working class to the fore-front and conduct intensive campaign against those policies and also against those who are supporting the neo-liberal globalization policies. Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers being the part and parcel of the mainstream of the working class of our country has got an added responsibility to rally the entire Central Government Employees in the joint struggle against the anti-people and anti-worker policies of the Government which shall ultimately lead to a change in the political equation ensuring implementation of pro-people, pro-worker alternative policy.

Taking into Consideration all the above facts and circumstances, the National Secretariat of the Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers met at new Delhi on 28.11.2013 took a unanimous decision to go for strike if the Government refuse to accept the staff side proposal on terms of reference. Confederation further decided to organize series of phased programme of action and campaign from now onwards so that the employees will be ready to go for strike on short notice.

It is further decided that Confederation shall not go for any compromise on the demands raised in the proposal submitted by the JCM Staff side on terms of reference of 7^th CPC.

2.      The modification made in the Confederation Charter of Demands regarding date of effect of the 7^th CPC (i.e. from 01.01.2011 to 01.01.2014) is approved as it was necessitated for arriving at unanimity among the staff side on term of reference which will strengthen further the unity of all Central Government organizations including Railways and Defence.

CONFEDERATION: ALL INDIA TRADE UNION EDUCATION CAMP-2013-MUMBAI

CONFEDERATION: ALL INDIA TRADE UNION EDUCATION CAMP-2013-MUMBAI

Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers (CCGEW) organized two days Study Camp on 15th & 16th November 2013 at CLI Auditorium, Central labour Institute, Sion, Mumbai. The Camp was inaugurated by Com. Tapan Sen, MP, and the General Secretary of CITU, New Delhi. The inaugural lecture by Com. Tapan Sen was on “Two decades of Globalisation policies and the Task of the Trade Unions”. Com. Tapan Sen narrated in detail about the impact of gloabalisation in the country in general and specifically on working class. In this era of globalisation regular workers are becoming minority and contract workers and casual workers became majority.  Hence, he called upon the entire work force to work for bringing change in policies of the Government and also change in the composition of the forces in the parliament so that there shall be enough strength in the parliament for progressive forces to take decisions in favour of working class. He concluded his presentation with a call to all to prepare their organization in such a manner so that the above message shall reach to everybody by motivating and convincing them on the issues and to prepare them mentally and physically to participate in campaign programme as well as in the agitational programme including strike for changing the neo-liberal economic policies and for bringing an alternative policy in its place.

Thereafter Com. Vivek Monterio, Secretary CITU Maharashtra State Committee spoke on the “impact of Globalisation in the Contracturisation”.  He opined that the issue of the contract labour system is no longer an incidental issue of the working class movement. Today it has become a core concern of the Indian trade union movement. Due to the government’s so called policy of ‘non recruitment’, the number of permanent workers is steadily decreasing. They are replaced by contract workers. While concluding his speech he appealed to all to work for the cause of the unorganized workers rising to the occasion. The time is ripe for our more active intervention on matters of labour and economic policy. We must use our influence on different political parties to prevent retrograde policies. We must conduct joint struggles at national level. We must move forward confidently to reassert, reaffirm and reestablish the relevance of our Constitution and its Directive Principles as a guide to our nation’s future.

Com. M.S. Raja Working President CCGEW presided over the pre lunch session.

Post-lunch session started with presentation by Com. S.K Vyas, Adviser CCGEW on“Joint Consultative Machinery & the Pay Commissions”.  In his presentation he elaborately explained the back ground of the introduction of Joint Consultative Machinery for bilateral discussion with the Government and its role in formation of service rules and facilities for Central Government Employees. He also narrated the history of all the pay commissions and the role played by the CCGEW. He made it clear that without organizing agitational programmes backing the demands, the JCM body will become an ineffective one.

The session was presided by Com. Giri Raj Singh Vice President CCGEW.

 After tea break Com. Ashok Dhawle, Secretary All India Kisan Sabha presented paper on the “Alternative Policy to the Present Crisis”. Com. Dhawle explained the crisis facing the world in general and our country in specific.  He projected the co-relation of political – economical – and class character of the ruling class and emphasized the need for change in the policies to overcome the crisis facing today.

Com. KKN Kutty, President CCGEW presided over the session. After the class by Com Ashok Dhawle the workshop adjourned for next day.

On 16th November 2013 the sessions started with the lecture by Dr. A Raghu Kumar, Advocate on the “Impact of Globalisation on Labour laws & Service Rules”.Dr. Raghukumar mentioned that  the present study attempts to understand the changing patterns of labour and service law jurisprudence in Indian courts, in three phases of India’s legal history i.e., from 1950-1975, 1975-1990 and 1991-2000.   These three periods show certain discernible patterns, and raises certain important questions on labour and service jurisprudence.  In the first phase (1950-1975) we find the expressions of Constitutional ‘socialism’, welfare-State ideas, beneficial or liberal constructions of law, reflecting the anti-colonial mood of nascent free-State, and its anxiety to get rid of ‘common law’ theories.   In the second phase (1975-1990), marked by more discussion about ‘socialism’ inserted into the Constitution by virtue of the 42nd Constitutional amendment, where we find in the judgments of the courts reverberating with the invocations of ‘socialist’ justice, giving pre-eminence status to ‘Directive Principles of State Policy’ over and above the idea of ‘Fundamental Rights’.   The third phase (1991- till date), has began with the introduction of the New Economic Policy of the Government in 1991, and internationalization of the Indian economy (Globalization, liberalization and privatization).He explained in detail all the three phases and opined that after 1990s the court has again tended to be in of favour of rich! He concluded his speech with a call to be beware of the situation and to react.

Com. Jayaraj. K.V, Assistant Secretary CCGEW presided over the session.

After the tea break Com. A.D. Golandaz, Vice President AITUC Maharashtra spoke on the subject of “Need of unity in TU movement in the Present scenario”. He elaborately explained the joint struggle in the recent past carried out in the country against the neo liberal policies and how it slow down the government attempt on implementing the policies under the dictates of IMF & World Bank. He called upon to all Central Government Employees to join in the united trade union movement.

Com. R.P Singh, Organising Secretary CCGEW presided  the session.

After lunch Com. K.K.N Kutty, President CCGEW presented paper on the “history of Central Government Employees movement”.  Com. Kutty explained the back ground of the formation of Confederation of Central Government Employees, situation prevailed immediately after the independence era, the approach of the Jawaharlal Nehru Government on central government employees & Workers, the State of affairs of Civil Service Unions in 1950s, the second pay commission and the strike in 60s, and one day strike in 1968 and bonus struggle during 70 & 80s, struggle in the era of globalization initiated by confederation. He focused the role of CCGEW in formulating the agenda for the struggle for Government Employees and opined that always the Confederation took lead for campaign, agitation and struggle on issues.

The concluding session started with the presentation of Com. M. Krishnan on“Building up of the organisation and future tasks”. Com. Krishnan emphasized the need of the militant organisation. He also said that to build an organisation it is necessary to strengthen the organisation ideologically and politically. To become such an organisation this type of workshop, seminar, etc are necessary and the leadership should actively take part in it, apart from the day-to-day activities of the organisation. He further said to work unitedly to achieve our task. He emphasized the need for bringing younger generation into the leadership of our organizations as otherwise we will be failing in our durty towards building up a vibrant and class-oriented militant organisation. Confederation of CG Employees & Workers already placed 15 points charter of demand and started campaign prgrammes and agitations right from 2011. Government was forced to declare 7^th CPC. Credit goes to confederation. To carry forward the agitation, more and more unions and association should be brought under the banner of CCGEW. The inactive organizations should become functional. In various sectors we have to move further. The role of the CCGEW become important in the present scenario and we should take all steps to unite & strengthen the movement. Without fighting the policies of the Government which intends to dismantle the government sector and public sector, we cannot protect our hard earned benefits.

Com. P. M. Worlikar, President CCGEW Mumbai presided in the post lunch session.

The Camp was hosted by Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers Mumbai. The participants were the leaders of various Central Government Employees’ organizations. Eight lectures were organized during the two days camp in which more than 250 delegates representing about 45 organizations of 25 Ministries and Departments from various part of the country took part. Com. K. V. Jayaraj, Asst. Secretary, CCGEW, presented the credential report.

The camp concluded with the resolve to strengthen the movement of Central Government Employees making it capable of organizing struggles and participating in the trade union movement of the working class against the ruling class to abandon the anti people Economic Policies pursued by the successive Governments since 1991. Com M. Krishnan Secretary General CCGEW while concluding the study camp assured of organizing such camps in different parts of the country and appropriate struggle programme on the need for merger of DA, Interim Relief, including of the GDS in the ambit of 7th CPC, reversal of New Pension Scheme, etc. will be decided at the National Executive Meeting of CCGEW slated for 28th November 2013.
