Dated: 30th April,
2012.
Dear Comrade,
The National Executive meeting of
the Confederation was held at Kolkata on 28th April 2012 as
scheduled. The meeting was chaired by Com. S.K.Vyas, President. Of the 27
members of the Sectt., twenty comrades attended the meeting. Com. D.P.S
Madan and Com. Seethalakshmi did not attend the meeting. The other five
comrades had intimated their inability due to unavoidable circumstances to be
present at Kolkata. Eighteen National
Executive
Members representing affiliated Associations/Federations having more than 3000
members did attend the meeting. The prominent absentees were the
representatives of: (a) Central Sectt. Employees Federation, (b) CPWD Workers
Union (c) CGHS employees Association and (d) Marine Engg. Employees'
Association. However, the following affiliates, even though having less
than 3000 membership, sent in their representatives to attend the meeting as
observers.
Farakka Barrage Engineers
Association, Farakka Barrage Group D Employees Union, NSSO Ministerial Staff
Association, Botanical Survey of India Employees Association, ICMR Employees
Association, National Library Employees Association. Of the 18 State
Committees, barring Gujarat, Rajasthan, North West Region (Haryana and Punjab)
and Himachal Pradesh, all sent in their representatives to attend the
meeting. It was, therefore, the best attended National Executive meeting
of the Confederation. We thank profusely the comrades who took the
trouble to make it possible. The West Bengal State Committee had made
very good arrangements for the conduct of the meeting. Excellent food and
very good lodging arrangements had been there. The decisions taken
at the meeting are briefly placed hereunder.
1.
At the request of the house, Com. President agreed to include
to discuss the organisational matters and organisational review was included in
the agenda.
2.
Agenda No.1: Programme of Action -
Unanimously decided to organise a March to Parliament on 26th
July, 2012(Thursday) with a participation of about 50,000 comrades.
3.
Series of demonstrative action programmes will be carried
out during the months of August to November, 2012.
4.
The programme will be culminated in a One day Strike on a
date to be fixed by the Sectt. and announced at the rally on 26th
July, 2012. The proposed one day strike will be on a day between the
last fortnight of November and the first week of December, 2012, depending upon
the period of the Monsoon session of the Parliament.
5.
Agenda No. 2: Campaign programmes - The first phase of the
campaign programme will be concluded by 20th July, 2012. The
National leaders will visit all States. Meetings will be organised at
least in three places in each State. The State Committee immediately on
receipt of this communication will decide upon the tour programme for each
station in the State. The affiliates will book accommodation at Delhi for
the participants who will have to reach Delhi a day prior to the programme.
The Comrades who will be going over to Delhi may be advised to book both the to
and fro journey tickets. The Tour programme of the National leaders is
given in the annexure to this Circular. Both the State Committee and the
deployed comrades may seek changes in the date and place within one week of the
receipt of this communication. Whatever adjustments are possible, it
would be done by the CHHHQ. After a week no change could be possibly done. The
State/District Committees and the affiliates" State leadership will ensure
that the railway tickets are booked immediately and the list of volunteers to
participate in the March to Parliament programme finalised. The States
Committees of Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Delhi and Madhya Pradesh are specially
requested to mobilize large number of comrades who are stationed in and around
Delhi for participation in the March to Parliament programme. If
necessary they may hire buses etc. to bring the participants.
6.
Review of 28th Feb. 2012
Strike participation: As per the
reports presented by both the State Committee and the affiliates, it is evident
that the strike participation of CGEs on 28th Feb. 2012 had
surpassed all records and have enthused the rank and file of the workers. Most
of the comrades reported that the proposed strike action in November/December,
2012 will have larger participation of CGEs in view of the CGE specific demands
in the charter. It emanated from the discussion of the organizational review
that the organizational state of affairs in North West Region and Gujarat is
quite pathetic and serious attention to revive the functioning of the state
Committees must be made. The U.P State Committee will hold their conference in
June, 2012. The State Conference of Orissa has already been held and a
new set of office bearers have been elected. The Trineal State Conference of
Conference was held with participation of all District Committees. The State
Committees have been formed in Uttarakhand, Jharkhand and Chattisgarh.
The continued inability of H.P. State Committee to participate in the strike
action as well as in the NE meetings has been noted and it was decided that the
National leaders must pay attention to this aspect immediately. The
Rajasthan State Committee's Conference is overdue and steps must be initiated
to hold the Conference. In many districts of Tamilnadu, Committees are
yet to be formed and the State Committee's repeated assurance in the matter has
not been fructified.
Many affiliates have reported the
non functioning of the JCM Departmental and Office councils and the non grant
of recognition despite completion of all formalities. The assigning of
Group B. Non Gazetted Ministerial status to the employees with grade pay of Rs.
4200 has created problems for many organisations. Taking all these into
account, the Committee decided to hold demonstration in front of all offices
and send the following telegram to the Cabinet Secretary and the Secretary
Personnel respectively.
The demonstration is to be organized in front of all offices
on 25th May, 2012 and
the following telegrams/savingrams sent:
_________________________________________________________________________________
To Cabinet Secretary: Rashtrapati
Bhawan Annexe, New Delhi.
REQUEST FOR ISSUANCE OF DIRECTIVE TO
ALL DEPARTMENTS TO HOLD DEPARTMENTAL COUNCIL MEETINGS AND GRANT RECOGNITION TO
SERVICE ASSOCIATION WHEREVER THE ASSOCIATIONS HAVE COMPLIED WITH THE CCS(RSA)
RULES.
________________________________________________________________________________
To
The Secretary (Personnel) North
Block, New Delhi.
KINDLY CONVENE THE NATIONAL ANOMALY
COMMITTEE MEETING AND SETTLE THE ANOMALY ITEMS IMMEDIATELY.
________________________________________________________________________________
7.
Many comrades who participated in
the discussion agreed with Com. T.K. R. Pillai that the 6th CPC has
done great injustice to the cadre of LDCs and UDCs and the MACP scheme has
compounded it. The restructuring of the UDCs cadre in the Central Sectt.
has accentuated the injustice and has disturbed the parity which had all along
been in existence with the Sectt and subordinate office staff. The
decision of the Govt. was in complete contravention of the 6trh CPC
recommendation to the effect that there must be parity in the pay scales of
Sectt and staff in the subordinate offices. The restructuring ought to have
been automatically extended to all field formation as the Department of
Personnel is the nodal cadre controlling authority for all common categories,
he added. The house, hearing the views of others, decided that the
National leaders should immediately take up this matter as also the settlement
of MACP related issues with the Government by holding discussions. Com.Prasad
raised the issue of denial of transport allowance for those who are on field
duty which put them into great financial loss.
The house directed the Sectt.to take up the matter with the Govt. for
the removal of conditions for the grant of Transport allowance.
8.
The other suggestion that has
emerged from the discussions were:
(a)
The National leadership of
affiliated Associations should pay visit to the States periodically and the
problems of the employees discussed;
(b)
The CHQ must monitor and ensure that
the State conferences are held within the time schedule prescribed under the
constitution;
(c)
The Confederation's decisions must
be endorsed by all affiliates and communication to that effect issued to all
field formations with copy to the State Committees and CHQ.
(d)
The CHQ leaders will interact with
the leaders of CGHS and Central Sectt. To elicit their participation in the
Confederation meetings.
9. The
meeting also discussed the probability of the PFRDA Bill getting enacted in
this session of the Parliament, especially in the background of the stated
position of the BJP to support such an enactment. BJP seems to have
watered down its avowed position and they may not perhaps insist upon guarantee
even for a minimum pension. If not altogether dropped, they may
allow it to be reduced to a pittance The meeting was of the opinion
that the Confederation as decided earlier, must register its opposition to the
bill as and when it is taken up for adoption, through a separate
programme. Accordingly, it is decided that a demonstration for two
hours on either the day the bill is taken up in the Parliament for discussion
or the next day must be organised.
The State Committee and the affiliates
are requested to kindly take the campaign programme very seriously as an
intensified and widespread mass contact will not only rejuvenate our movement
but will also ensure larger participation in the 26th July, 2012
March to Parliament. We must reach out to our members even at the remote
corners of the country and we are certain that this campaign will help us to
bring about a strong organisational base before we embark upon the strike
action.
Expecting your utmost co-operation
in making the programme of action a magnificent success,
With greetings,
Yours fraternally,
Sd/-

Secretary General.
