Minimum wage and Fitment formula
Comrades,
The
Staff side had demand of minimum wage of Rs 26000/- & fitment formula of
3.71. Against this the 7th CPC had recommended minimum wage of
Rs 18000/- & fitment formula of 2.57. The 7th CPC
recommendations has provided only at 14% wage hike at Group “C” level it is
only ranging from Rs 2240/- to Rs 3500/- increase per month, and at
Group “B” level ranging from Rs 4000/- to Rs 6500/- increase per
month. After deductions & income tax the net increase will be just from Rs
500/- to Rs 3000/- only .
This increase is
lowest by any pay commission, hence vast changes are required as the prices of
essential commodities have gone up and also the inflation rate has gone up.
There are various
reports on 7th Central Pay commission on the media reports on minimum wage of
Rs 21000/- & fitment formula of 3.00, (which is at 34% wage hike against
the 14% wage hike recommended by the 7thCPC).
The Empowered committee
of Secretaries have not finalised any such minimum wage and fitment formula,
the meeting is scheduled on 11th June 2016.
Please go through
minimum wage as on 1/1/2016 using the prices as on 1/7/2015 of the Director of
Economic & statics , Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Government of India, New Delhi.

We should add 10% for
difference between retail price and Government rates. It is clear that we should get minimum
wage of Rs 24500 and fitment formula is 24500/ 7000 is 3.40 that is 50% wage
hike .
The 7th CPC had provided wrong prices for example
Rice/Wheat Rs 25.93 per kg
Dal (Toor/Urad/Moong) Rs 97.84 per kg
If correct prices were
adopted by the 7th CPC and correct methodology is adopted we
would have got better minimum wage and fitment formula,
Comrades it is the
time to struggle, we should educate the members and prepare for struggle, so
that we should get at least 50 % wage hike without allowances, as allowances
are not taken into pension benefit.
Only struggle will get
us benefit. Please don’t believe on rumours. Now it is now or never.
Serve strike notice on 9th June 2016.
P.S.Prasad
Karnatak COC
It is humbly submitted that Unions, Associations and National JCM(Staff) have failed in resolving the anomalies of 6th CPC till date. Indifferent attitude of the National JCM(Staff Side) had spoiled the bargaining capacity of the employees. MACP anomaly could not be solved by Anomaly Committee. Individuals are fight the case in the Supreme Court. what is doing the National JCM(Staff Side)? There is an old proverb that barking dogs never bite. This is what happening in this country. Expecting from the strikes is no use. National JCM(Staff side) can show a single they negotiated to resolve the issue.
