Comrade
M. Krishnan, Secretary General of CCGE&W inaugurated the inaugural cum open
session of the CWC meeting. In his address com. Krishnan elaborately explained
the developments since the appointment of 7th CPC till date and the present
status of various committees constituted by the government to look into the
issues of Central Government employees after implementation of 7th CPC.
He
informed that the government has backed out from the promise given to the NJCA
by G.O.M. in the meeting held on 30/06/2016. All the committees are only
eyewash and the genuine demands of the Central Government employees like
minimum wage, increase in fitment formula, allowance including HRA & TPA,
option-I of pension are not adhered to by the government. He told that the
Confederation has a history of struggle and conducted a successful one-day
strike on 16 March 2017 on 21-point charter of demand. He appealed to the house to be ready for more
struggle in the near future to achieve our demands.
Shri.
Shrinivas khandewale, the renowned economist the main speaker in the open
session, spoke at length on the issues faced by the common man of the country.
He said that the root cause of all the miseries of common people lies in the
adverse impact of the new economic policies being pursued by the successive
governments in the country. New economic policies are responsible for jobless
growth and are widening the gap between the rich and the poor. Natural
resources and the wealth are controlled by the miniscule number of rich and
power full corporate houses. MNCs and corporate houses are influencing &
dictating terms in formulation of programmes and policies of the government. He
said that the forces that once propagated and pursued the policies of
globalization, liberalization are now talking of de-globalization after Donald
Trump taking charge at the helm of affairs in USA. He
said that the working class has to educate the other sections of society and
has to wage a long battle to compel the political leadership to reverse the new
economic policies.
Almost
the problems faced by the units were common in nature; all the units were
facing acute shortage of staff in all cadres, inadequate provision of
infra-structure, no provision for training, threat of decentralization of PAO
after implementation of CSI etc. General Secretary while summing up the
discussion gave replies to the queries of the units and placed before the
house, the latest updates on various issues faced by the units. He
categorically said that the committee on the re-structuring of PAO after
implementation of CSI, has submitted its report to Dte, and because of tough
stand taken by AIPAEA, the threat of Decentralization of PAO has been
thwarted/averted. He appealed to house to be cautious on the issue and assured
that association will protect interest of its member at any cost. He told that
repeated representations and negotiations are not yielding results, so on 5
point charter, he proposed three phased agitation programme (a) Lunch hour
demonstration and sending resolutions to authorities. (b) Day long protest by
wearing black ribbon/badges (c) day long Dharna.
