RESOLUTION
ADOPTED AT THE MASSIVE RALLY AT JANTAR MANTAR (PARLIAMENT STREET) ON 28 APRIL
2015
The massive congregation of the
representatives of Central Govt Employees who have come from various parts of
the country held at Jantar Mantar before the Indian Parliament on 28-04-2015
decided to commence the indefinite strike action from 23rd November 2015 from 6 AM having failed
to elicit any positive response from the Government in settlement of the 10
point Charter of Demands submitted months back. It was also decided that the
Railways and Defence organizations will conduct the strike Ballot as per the
provision of the Industrial Disputes Act and Recognition Rules before
commencing the strike from 23-11-2015.
The massive gathering adopted the
resolution unanimously exhorting the central Govt. Employees to prepare for the
eventual strike action in all earnestness and make it a historic one.
The meeting congratulates the employees
for forging exemplary unity and carrying out various programmes chalked out by
the National Joint Council of Action (NJCA) after the national convention on 11th December 2014. Even though the Govt.
was compelled to set up the 7th CPC
on account of the sanctions generated through the action programmes, Govt. has
refused to grant Interim Relief and merger of DA and excluded the Gramin Dak
Sewaks of the Postal Department from the ambit of the 7th CPC.
It is a matter of regret that in spite
of public admission of non-privatisation of Indian Railways by Prime Minister
of India and assurance of Minister of Railways on various occasions, including
Parliament, Dr. Deb Roy Committee had submitted a report which is a clear
roadmap for privatisation of IR.
The meeting noted that the Government
has purposely ensured the closure of Joint Consultative
Machinery, the negotiating forum set up
in 1966 for Central Government Employees to discuss and bring about settlement
of their demands.
The meeting chaired by Secretary
(Personnel) on 25th February
2015 did not bring about settlement on any single issue of the Charter of
Demands.
The meeting unanimously decided to
demand before the Government to convene the meeting of National Council, JCM
immediately and settle the following charter of demands, if at all it wants to
avoid confrontation with its own employees.
CHARTER OF DEMANDS:
1. Effect wage revision of the Central Government Employees from
01.01.2014, accepting the memorandum of the Staff Side JCM; ensure 5-year wage
revision in future; grant Interim Relief and Merger of 100% of DA. Ensure
submission of the 7th CPC
report within the stipulated time frame of 18 months; include the Grameen Dak
Sewaks within the ambit of the 7th CPC.
Settle all anomalies of the 6th CPC.
2. No privatisation, PPP or FDI in Railways and Defence Establishments and
no corporatisation of postal services.
3. No Ban on recruitment/creation of post.
4. Scrap PFRDA Act and re-introduce the defined benefit statutory pension
scheme.
5. No outsourcing; contractorisation, privatisation of governmental
functions; withdraw the proposed move to close down the Printing Presses; the
publication, form store and stationery departments and Medical Stores Depots;
regularise the existing daily rated/casual and contract workers and absorption
of trained apprentices.
6. Revive the JCM functioning at all levels
as an effective negotiating forum for settlement of the demands of the CGEs.
7. Remove the arbitrary ceiling on compassionate appointments.
8. No labour reforms which are inimical to the interest of the workers.
9. Remove the ceiling on payment of Bonus.
10. Ensure five promotions in the service career.
The meeting authorized the National JCA
to take appropriate and necessary steps needed to make the indefinite strike
beginning from 23rd November
2015 an unprecedented and grand success.
