To,
Com. Shiv Gopal Mishra
Secretary, JCM (NC) Staff Side
& Convenor, NJCA
JCM National Council Office
13-C, Feroz Shah Road, New Delhi - 110001
Dear Comrade,
Kindly
refer to your circular letter of 21st December, 2015 wherein
you have reiterated the decisions taken at the meeting of the NJCA on 8th December,
2015. We have already advised our affiliates to carry out the
programmes slated for 30th December, 2015 and 19 to 21st January,
2016. The employees have realized that the report of the 7th CPC
is the worst ever in the history of wage revision of the Central
Govt. employees. They have also realized that a show down is inevitable
to change the situation.
We feel
in the given situation, it is the bounden duty of NJCA to provide leadership,
unite the employees and lead the struggle, which alone can bring about tangible
improvements. Though for the Confederation and its affiliates, strike ballot is
not mandatory, we shall go through the process for it will enable our State and
District level leaders to explain the various retrograde recommendations of the
7th CPC to the rank and file of the membership.
We,
however, feel that the strike ballot, if taken say by the end of January, will
help us to create a salutary impact at the time of discussions. We also
feel that the Government might hold consultation with us only once at the level
of the Cabinet Secretary. Besides, As per the decision of the
meeting of NJCA of 8th December, 2015, we are to conclude
the negotiation with the Government by the first week of February so that we
would be able to declare the date of strike in the slated meeting of the NJCA
on 8th Feb. 2015. In the circumstance, we suggest
that the decision for the strike ballot may be taken immediately and the same
is concluded by the end of January, 2016 i.e., before the declaration of the
date of commencement of indefinite strike. You may kindly hold discussions with
the NJCA members over the phone and if agreed upon take appropriate decision to
hold the strike ballot by the end of January, 2016.
We make
this request for it may pose some difficulties for us to go in for the strike
ballot later than January. 2016.
With
greetings,
Yours fraternally,
(M. Krishnan)

Reduction in the time period for Restoration of Basic
Pension- Request for reconsideration to review the matter.
Dated : 24.12.2015
To
Shri
Pradip Kumar Sinha
Cabinet
Secretary,
Govt.
of India
Rashtrapati
Bhavan Annexe
New
Delhi-110001
Sub: Reduction
in the time period for Restoration of Basic Pension- Request for
reconsideration to review the matter.
Sir,
This
is to bring to your kind notice that ‘Analysis and Recommendation’ on
the above subject, by VII CPC is not based on the facts and needs to be
reconsidered to review the matter on the basis of following points:-
1-The
recovery of commuted basic pension is made on the basis of commuted amount of
basic pension and it is not based on the percentage of commutation whether it
is 30% or 40%.
2- The
fact is that the recovery of commuted basic pension is made in 12 years as
per Hon’ble Supreme Court judgement referred by VII CPC vide para 10.1.43.
Further in the same para it is also stated that “since there is a risk factor
and some of the states are restoring pension after 15 years” should not be the
proper reason on the basis of which Central Govt. should also restore it after
15 years because there is no comparison between central Govt. and other State Govts.
in respect of making payments to their respective employees. I would like to
quote an example that, Govt. of India is extending the benefit of MACP to its
employees on completion of 10, 20 & 30 years of service in the
hierarchy of Pay Band and Grade Pay while on the other hand the State
Govts. like Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh are extending the MACP benefit on
completion of 10,16 & 26 years of service and that to in their respective
promotional hierarchies.
3- In the
same para, VII CPC has quoted V CPC had recommended restoration period after
12 years but VII CPC has not given any reason in contradiction of the
recommendation of V CPC.
4- As
mentioned by VII CPC that VI CPC had not recommended for restoration of
commuted basic pension on completion of 12 years, is not the proper reason or
the analysis given by VII CPC, while restoration after 12 years was recommended
by V CPC and the fact is accepted to the Govt. that the recovery is completely
made in 12 years.
5- The VII CPC has not given any analysis of the data if any with
the Govt., of those
Pensioners who died every year before completion of 12 years
after their retirement
from Govt. service, on the basis of which the risk
factor is based to let the recovery
continue for 15 years even if the recovery completes in
12 years.
6- Even if there is any risk factor, the Govt.
itself should bear it in public interest rather than making recovery from those
poor pensioners who survive even after 12 years of their retirement and fight
with different kinds of problems in their old age period.
Therefore the Analysis
and Recommendation, on the aforesaid subject, made by VII CPC by ignoring
the facts is not sustainable. The demand made on this subject is genuine which
should be reconsidered to review the matter on the basis of the points brought
to your kind notice.
Yours
Sincerely
(

VII th Pay Commission Injustice
Dear Sir,
I am bringing the following to your knowledge
and information of Central Government Staff that VIIth Pay commission has done
injustice to 98% of the Central Government Staff by just giving a
multiplication factor of around 10 times their existing Grade Pay but
generously awarded more than 14 times multiplication benefit to higher
officials. So please fight for uniform multiplication of 14 times of the Grade
pay and for each year of service one increment at the new scale as recommended
to retired employees to give justice to all.

EDITORIAL POSTAL CRUSADER: JANUARY-2016
MINIMUM WAGE STILL A DREAM FOR WORKERS
68 years have passed after independence of India. But the need based minimum wage still appears a dream for working class. After reaching a tripartite agreement in 15th Indian Labour Conference in 1957 a scientific formula called as Dr. Akroid formula based on minimum needs of a workers to survive and work, was accepted. Based on this formula all Central trade unions and independent federations are struggling since long to achieve the demand of minimum wage.
This time also National council JCM demanded Rs. 26000 as minimum wage to a lowest class employees based on Dr. Akroid formula as on 01.01.2014 taking the commodity prices as Rs. 11344. The rates were taken as an average price of actual market from various cities throughout the India and actual receipts obtained from the shops and consumer stores were also produced as evidence. After adding component of housing, children education and social obligations it comes to 26000.
But the pay commission has recommended Rs. 18000 as minimum wage taking 12 monthly average of commodity prices quoted by Labour bureau Shimla which is totally contrary to Dr. Akroid Formula and the figures are imaginary not realistic.
The pay commission has also reduced the component of expenses on social obligation and children education as 15% contrary to the Supreme Court judgment of 25% on the plea that the employees are paid children Education allowance separately. The Children Education allowance is not fully reimbursed and expenses on education have increased heavily after liberalization of the education sector. The housing component has also been reduce by the pay commission stating that employees are paid HRA separately. House Rent Allowance is not full compensation of expenditure incurred on rent of accommodation obtained by an employee Earlier 3rd Pay commission has given 7.5% as the factor for housing.
Thus this 7th CPC has drastically cut the minimum wage.
The website of Agriculture Ministry also maintains the record of prices of commodities which are required to compute the minimum wage. Though these prices also vary from the real retail market. But if these prices had been taken by the pay commission as an all India average of the prices as on 01.07.2015. It will work out Rs. 10810. Thus the computation of minimum wage will arrive as Rs. 19880. After adding 25% for arriving at MTS scale it will come as Rs. 24850 and to convert it as on 01.01.2016 after adding 3% as suggested by 7th CPC. The final computation will come as 25596 when rounded off it shall be Rs. 26000/-
Without modification of minimum wage, no improvement is expected in the higher pay scales. Therefore it requires recomputation and revision. If it is revised consequently the fitment formula, multiplication factor and pay matrix will have to be revised.
Thus it is the urgent need to revise the minimum wage.
The NJCA, Confederation and NFPE have given charter of demands to the Government of India seeking modification in so many demands failing which all Central Government Employees will be compelled to go on indefinite strike from 1st week of March-16.
