CIRCULAR DATED 16-08-2017
NATIONAL SECRETARIAT
DECISIONS DATED 09-08-2017

Workers held at Income Tax Bhavan Auditorium, Bengaluru on 09-08-2017, under

The
meeting decided that the names of those National Secretariat members who are
continuously absent from the National Secretariat Meetings for more than 50%
meetings, without any valid reason, need not be considered for election as
National Secretariat members to be elected in the next National Conference of
Confederation.
2. 7th CPC
related issues - Review of agitational programmes organised by Confederation
and the present position of the various demands raised in the charter of
demands - Future course of action.The National Secretariat reviewed various agitational programmes
independently organised by Confederation viz: Massive Parliament March on
15-12-2016, one day nationwide strike on 16-03-2017, Mass Dharna organised in
front of Finance Minister’s Office on 23-05-2017, Human Chain of Central Govt.
employees on 22-06-2017 and Burning of the HRA orders on
25-07-2017. It is reported by all National Secretariat members that
the employees and pensioners had participated in large number in all the above
programmes.
The
Government has already implemented Revised Pay Scales, Revised Allowances and
Revised Pension based on 5th CPC recommended parity formula for pre-2016 pensioners. The
assurances given by Group of Ministers on 30-06-2016 regarding increase in
Minimum Pay and Fitment formula still remains unimplemented. Govt.
has not considered the demand to restore HRA rate to 30%, 20% and 10% and
implement it from 01-01-2016. All revised allowances are
implemented prospectively from 01-07-2017 thereby denying arrears from
01-01-2016. The Option-I parity for pensioners recommended by 7th
CPC is rejected by the Government, instead 5th CPC recommended parity is
extended to all pre-2016 pensioners. The “very good” bench mark
condition imposed for grant of MACP is not yet modified. Even though
NPS Committee constituted by Govt. for streamlining NPS has submitted its
report to Government, its recommendations are still not made
public. The demand for withdrawal of Contributory Pension Scheme and
guaranteeing minimum pension (50% of the last pay drawn) is still
pending. All other demands raised in the confederation and NJCA
charter of demands are also remaining
unsettled.
Unfortunately,
inspite of the totally negative attitude and non-honouring of the assurance
given to NJCA by the BJP-led NDA Government, the dominant leadership of NJCA is
not in favour of reviving the deferred indefinite strike and no serious
agitational programmes was organised after 6th July 2016 (i.e. after deferring
the strike) under the united banner of NJCA, which compelled the Confederation
to demarcate and organise independent struggle programmes as mentioned above including
one day nation-wide strike.
The
National Secretariat meeting took note of the above situation and decided to
request once again the Railway Federations which are leading the NJCA as
Chairman (NFIR) and Convenor (AIRF) to chalk out serious agitational programmes
including strike under the banner of NJCA. Confederation National
Secretariat strongly felt that to make the Govt. to honour its assurance on
Minimum Pay and Fitment formula, to grant enhanced rate of HRA from 01-01-2016,
to get Option-I parity implemented for pre-2016 pensioners, to modify the
retrograde bench mark condition for MACP, to scrap NPS and ensure guaranteed
minimum pension, to settle the justified demands of Gramin Dak Sevaks and
Casual, Contract Workers, a united indefinite strike under the banner of NJCA
(Railway, Defence & Confederation) is the need of the hour.
In
the absence of a united struggle under the banner of NJCA, the Confederation
National Secretariat decided to organise the following agitational programmes
in a phased manner.
1. Mass dharna
at all District headquarters demanding settlement of modified charter of
demands of Confederation on 19th September 2017 (Tuesday).
2. Mass dharna
at all state capitals on 17th October, 2017 (Tuesday).
3. Three days massive relay
dharna in front of Parliament from 9th November to 11th November 2017 along
with Central Trade Unions.
4. Indefinite
strike in 2018 jointly along with Central Trade Unions. (Date will
be finalised by the Central Trade Unions and independent Federations including Confederation).
All
affiliated organisations and COCs are requested to make the above programmes a
grand success. As the NDA Government is aggressively implementing the
neo-liberal policies in all sectors, it is our responsibility to join hands with
the entire trade unions and unitedly resist the onslaught. If the
Govt. is not ready to change its destructive policies, the workers have no
option but to embark upon a prolonged struggle jointly with the suffering
common people of our country, to change the Government. It is in
this background Confederation National Secretariat decided to join with the 3
days mass dharna at New Delhi and indefinite strike. In the
meantime, if NJCA meets and take decisions for any agitational programmes,
confederation shall implement the programmes of NJCA also. Modified
charter of demands of the Confederation is also enclosed herewith.
3. 2017 June 10th National
Convention of Central and State Govt. Employees (Confederation and All India
State Government Employees Federation) on “NPS & Outsourcing” - Review and
implementation of the decisions taken by the National Convention.
The
National Secretariat decided to implement the following decisions of the 2017
June 10th National Convention on “NPS & Out sourcing” jointly organised by
Confederation and AISGEF. Confederation C-O-Cs should contact the
AISGEF leaders of their respective states and chalk out detailed plan for
implementing the decisions. Large scale participation of employees
on behalf of Confederation should be ensured in all the programmes:

All the
Central Trade Unions and Independent Federations (other than BMS) had Organised
a massive National convention of workers on 8th August 2017 at Talkatora
Stadium New Delhi against the anti-Labour and anti-people polices of NDA Govt.

6. All
India Women’s Trade Union Workshop-2017
The
National Secretariat decided to organise ''All India Women’s Trade Union
Workshop-2017'' in the month of November/December 2017. C-O-C
Maharashtra (Mumbai) is requested to discuss and inform their readiness to hold
the workshop at Mumbai as there is larger concentration of women employees in
Mumbai. In order to reduce the financial burden of the Reception
Committee it is decided that delegate fee will be Rs.1000/- (Rs. One thousand
only) per head. As the train reservation commences four months
before, the decision of the C-O-C Mumbai should be communicated to
the CHQ before 21-08-2017. On confirming the place only quota to
each organisation and C-O-Cs etc. are to be fixed. The C-O-C Mumbai
is requested to communicate their decision immediately.
7. Holding
of a special convention/meeting of Autonomous body employees organisations and Autonomous body pensioners organistions.
The
National Secretariat discussed the situation arising out of abnormal delay in
revision of pay of Autonomous body employees and also non-issuing of orders for
revision of pension of autonomous body pensioners by the concerned Autonomous
bodies/Administrative Ministries. In the case of Autonomous
body employees, eventhough the Finance Ministry has issued orders extending the
7th CPC pay scales to autonomous body employees on 13-01-2017, the
orders are not implemented in 95% of the autonomous bodies due
to the stringent conditions imposed by the Finance Ministry. In the case
of Autonomous body pensioners, the stand taken by Finance Ministry and Pension
Ministry is that they will not issue any orders for revision of pension or
grant of Dearness Relief to Autonomous body pensioners. Earlier
during 5th CPC and 6th also they have not issued any separate orders, Once
Govt. issues orders for revision of pension and grant of dearness relief toCentral
Govt. Pensioners, it is upto the autonomous bodies to issue orders based on
that orders, in consultation with their Administrative
Ministries. But no Administrative Ministry has taken action for
revision of pension and grant of dearness relief to Autonomous body
pensioners. In short a serious crisis has developed regarding revision
of pay scales of Autonomous body employees and Revision
of Pension and grant of dearness relief to Autonomous body
pensioners.
In
the view of the above it is decided to convene a special meeting of all
Autonomous body employees organisations and Autonomous body pensioners
organisations to discuss and decide future course of action. Date
and venue of the meeting will finalised shortly.
13. Problems
