CONFEDERATION OF CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES & WORKERS
(Central Head Quarters)
1st Floor, North Avenue Post Office Building, New Delhi - 110001
CIRCULAR NO. 8/2013 DATED – 28.09.2013
IMPORTANT CIRCULAR
CONFEDERATION NATIONAL SECRETARIAT WILL MEET ON 23.10.2013 TO DECIDE FUTURE COURSE OF ACTION
STRIKE BALLOT DEFERRED
NO CHANGE IN THE CAMPAIGN PROGRAMME OF CONFEDERATION OFFICE BEARERS
Dear Comrades,
The
National Secretariat of the Confederation congratulate the affiliates
and State Committees for the strenuous efforts put in by them to
propagate and campaign amongst the mass of the employees of the need for
an immediate wage revision and setting up of the 7th CPC and
enlist the massive participation of the Central Govt. employees for a
long drawn out struggle, which commenced in 2011 and the first phase of
which was culminated on 12th December, 2012 in a one day
strike action. We are proud of the fact that our efforts has borne
fruit as the Government had to announce the setting up of the 7th CPC on 25th.
Confederation, as you are aware, had always been in the forefront in
formulating demands of the CGEs, presenting and articulating the issues
in spearheading struggles and negotiating the demands to reach
settlement. This time also Confederation was the organization which
raised the setting up of the 7th CPC and wage revision; demanded that the 7th CPC’s recommendation must be effective from 1.1.2011; insisting that the tenure of the recommendation of the 6th CPC
must be ended on the expiry of the five years on par with the wage
tenure of the Public Sector undertaking workers as early as in 2010. It
could justify the demands with facts and figures of the unprecedented
erosion of the real value of the wages of the Central Government
employees due to the high rate of inflation in the economy and shooting
up of the prices of all essential commodities. The campaign and
propaganda unleashed by us together had its salutary impact on the
thinking process of other sister organizations, compelled them to take
note of the growing discontent amongst the rank and file of their
membership and to realize the fact that the wage structure had become
incapable of making both ends meet especially for those employees at the
lower levels of the hierarchy. They had to perforce take up the issue
of wage revision and setting up the 7th CPC due to the
ambience created by the Confederation and its affiliates by organizing
series of struggles during the period and at the same time spurning
every of our attempt for a joint action. We are quite aware that
sanctions cannot be generated without joint and united action of the
workers. This dichotomy practiced by the predominant organizations in
the JCM inflicted irreparable damage to the cause of the Central
Government employees.
We are happy that the
Government of India having realized that the large majority of the
Central Government employees have become mentally attuned to the path of
an inevitable struggle on wage revision decided to avert a
confrontation by announcing the setting up of the 7th CPC.
We must, however, realize that the decision of the Government
tantamount to a post dated cheque which is capable of encashment only
after a long period of two and half years. We must not take it lying
down. The agony and sufferings of the employees, especially those at
the lower levels cannot be mitigated by promises and assurances. There
must be a rise in their emoluments to make them capable of meeting the
ever increasing cost of essential needs. The Government must be told
categorically and compelled to agree for the merger of DA with pay; and
interim relief, which had all along been the case ever since the advent
of the system of Pay Commission for wage revision. We must bring home
the fact that there will be no question of any arrears arising from the
recommendation of the 7th CPC as the Commission is mandated to make its recommendation before the crucial date of 1st January, 2016.
Even though, it is
stated that the terms of reference would be finalized in consultation
with all stake holders, the question of inclusion of GDS within the
ambit of the Pay Commission, in all probabilities would be resisted by
the Government. In the light of the passage of the PFRDA Bill in the
Parliament, the Government might not agree to include the retirement
benefits in the terms of reference. This apart, the Government will now
refer all pending matters, be it at the National Anomaly Committee,
National Council or various Departmental Councils or taken up through
inter departmental references to the 7th CPC. In other
words for the next two and half years none of the issues of the CGEs
will be either discussed or settled. We must not allow the Government
to succeed in this nefarious objective.
We must note that the present announcement of setting up of the 7th CPC
has also the hidden political agenda, for many States including
Delhi are to go to polls in the next few months. The National
Secretariat of the Confederation will meet on 23.10.2013 at Delhi.
Formal notice is being sent separately. The Sectt. will decide upon the
future course of action. In view of the present announcement of the
Government setting up the 7th CPC it is necessary that we should defer the strike ballot decision, which is scheduled to be held on 11th to 13th November,
2013. It is however, our considered opinion that unless we tread the
path of struggle the demand for merger of DA with pay, date of effect,
inclusion of GDS within the ambit of the 7th CPC and other
issues in our charter of demands will not be settled at all. The
campaign chalked out must, therefore, be carried out with determination
and understanding that we will succeed. We request the leaders of the
affiliates, State Committees and National Sectt. Members to ensure that
the campaign programmes are implemented as planned.
With greetings,
Yours fraternally,
(K. K. N. Kutty) (M. Krishnan)
