Dear Comrade,
We invite your attention to the efforts undertaken by us after the 12th
December, one day strike action to bring about a united action by the Railway, Defense
and other Central Government employees on certain pressing demands. In
this connection you will recall that Com. S.K. Vyas, our President had been
writing and following it up with telephonic conversations to bring about such a
platform for action. We are happy to inform you that the AIRF and AIDEF has now
agreed to bring about a joint platform of action to project two important
demands of the CGEs. Viz. the setting up of the 7th CPC and the
withdrawal of the PFRDA Bill.
We send herewith the joint Circular letter issued by the three organizations on
23.3.2013 calling upon its units to organize a joint demonstration on 29th

Dear
Comrades,
As you are aware, the Government
in reply to a question raised in the Parliament has stated that setting up of
the 7th Central Pay Commission for effecting wage revision of
central Government employees is not presently under its consideration.
You will recall, that a similar statement was made by the then Finance
Minister, when the demand for setting up the 6th CPC was raised by
the employees. The Joint movement of the Central Government employees,
for which we created the platform of the Steering Committee of the
organizations participating in the JCM under the leadership of Late Com. J.P.
Chaubey, the then General Secretary of All India Railway men Federation could
ensure that the Government rescind its stand then and set up the 6th
CPC. The real value of wages determined by the 6th CPC has now
been eroded to the extent of above 100% due to the unprecedented inflation in
the economy and spiraling rise in the prices of essential commodities.
While the Government permits wage negotiation and revision in the fully owned
Public Sector Undertakings every five years, the denial to revise the wages of Central
Government employees despite such large scale erosion in the real value of
wages is absolutely unjustified.
The Government had been persisting with
the enactment of the PRFDA Bill in the Parliament in almost all sessions ever
since the UPA II Government took over. Ironically they could elicit
support from the main Opposition Party in the country for this ill advised
enactment. Lakhs of new workers who have joined in various organizations
of the Government since2004 are worried of their future, which is forlorn and
bleak, in the wake of the denial of an age old social security scheme of
Pension. We have been together opposing this move right from the day, the
NDA Government introduced the bill in the Parliament in 2003. However,
our efforts, actions and objections have all been ignored with disdain by the
Government. Though they could not muster enough support required to pass the
bill in the Parliament, the Union Cabinet has recently taken the decision to
allow 49% FDI in the pension fund.
We are to channelize our efforts
through a wider platform of Unity. Efforts are on anvil to bring about such a
platform. In the meantime, we have decided to call upon all Units and
Branches of AiRF, Confederation and AIDEF to organize Demonstration on 29th
April, 2013. in front of all offices and send the following telegram to the
Prime Minister.
"WITHDRAW PFRDA BILL AND SET UP THE 7TH CPC
TO EFFECT WAGE REVISION OF CENTRAL
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES."

DEMAND FOR 7TH CPC GAINING THE SUPPORT
AJAY MAKEN BACKS CRY FOR SEVENTH PAY PANEL
With a little over a year to go before the next general election, the
demand for a Seventh Pay Commission has started to gather momentum. Union
housing and urban poverty alleviation minister Ajay Maken has taken the lead in
endorsing the Central government employees’ request for setting up of the
new pay panel, citing the erosion of real wages due to high inflation since
implementation of the Sixth Pay Commission’s recommendations.
In a letter addressed to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Maken
underlined how every pay panel since the Second Pay Commission, barring the
Sixth Pay Commission, were set up in the third year of the decade. “We are
again in the third year of the ongoing decade and Central government
employees are justifiably looking forward to the Seventh Pay Commission,”
he said.
Recalling that it was under Singh that the last pay panel was set up in 2005,
after the NDA government failed to do so in 2003, Maken, in the communication
dated March 14, requested that a decision be “taken on priority” for constitution of
the Seventh Central Pay Commission. “A notification for constitution of
the 7th Central Pay Commission is the need of the hour, which is bound to have
bearing upon about 20 million employees,” he said.
Maken concluded by emphasizing that setting up of the new pay panel was in
“larger interest of government employees as well as the (Congress)
party”.

Circular 67 Date: 08-03-2013
Dear Comrades,
CWC AT JAIPUR A GRAND SUCCESS
AIPAEA
has successfully held its CWC at Jaipur from 27-02-13 to 01-03-13. Delegates
and Observers from 14 Circles attended the CWC. Com. M.Krishnan, Secretary
General, NFPE, Com. I.S.Dabas, General Secretary, P-4 and Com. Giriraj Singh,
General Secretary, R-3 attended and addressed the CWC. AIPAEA is privileged to
get the CWC inaugurated by Com. S.K.Vyasji, the senior leader and President of the
Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers.
CWC commenced with the flag hoisting by Com.
A.P.Sastry, former President of AIPAEA(National flag), Com.M.Krishnan,
Secretary General NFPE (NFPE flag) and Com.S.Santosh Kumar, President AIPAEA (AIPAEA
flag). Rich tributes were paid to Late Com. O.P.Gupta and other martyres. The
inaugural session was graced by Sri.Dinesh Jainy, D.A(P), Jaipur and wished
that the CWC a great success. Comrade S.K.Vyasji in his detailed inaugural
speech explained the genesis of each demand of the Central Government employees
and the struggles waged to achieve those demands. He exhorted one and all to take the movement
forward by total support and participation in future struggles. Com.
M.Krishnan, Secretary General, NFPE, congratulated all the Postal Accounts
employees for their participation in the 48 hours strike from 20-21 Feb.2013.
In his inspiring speech he narrated the sacrifices of our great leaders Com.
Babu Tarapada, Com.Dada Gosh, Com.Adi and Com. N.J.Iyer, on whose sacrifices
the NFPE has been built. It is the duty of each member to emulate these great
leaders. Com. Krishnan elaborated the movements launched against the
privatization and out-sourcing policies of the Central Government. The way the
entire working class of Kerala stood by the two dismissed employees by raising
24 lakhs of rupees in a single day to defend the cases and to support the
families of those dismissed employees is a shining example of the unity of the
working class. This was possible only through sustained efforts of the leaders
to organize the employees and workers. Com. Krishnan explained the sweeping
changes that are going to come in the Postal Department because of the
induction of large scale technology. Department is delaying the Cadre
restructuring and NFPE extends full support to AIPAEA to get its Cadre
restructuring proposal implemented. Secretary General advised the CWC to
discuss the changes and challenges and get prepared to protect the employees.
Com. I.S.Dabas explored the pre-and post 1991 scenario in the working class
movement. He said that the working class and common man of this country needs…”
Bheek nahin adhikar chahiye. Anudan nahin Rojgaar chahiye” and inspired the delegates to fight for
rights by strengthening the organizations through live interaction with the
membership. Com. Giriraj Singh, General Secretary, R-3 advised the CWC to
thoroughly review the strike participation and take measures to strengthen the
Association. He wished all success to AIPAEA. Com. Changania, Advisor CoC Rajasthan
also addressed the meeting.
All
the senior leaders of AIPAEA, Rajasthan attended the CWC. Though they retired

AIPAEA enriched the CWC with their presence. Com.A.P.Sastry is going to retire

best wishes to com. Mahato, Circle President, AIPAEA, Patna, who retired from

The
CWC has made thorough review of the 12-12-12 and 20-21Feb. 2013 strike and
discussed the steps to plug the weaknesses. The demand of the 7th

The
entire proceedings of CWC were conducted in a disciplined way and the excellent
arrangements made by Jaipur comrades under the leadership of Com. R.S.Gujar and
Com.S.R.Meena provided good environment
for deliberations. The cultural programmes on the Open Session mesmerized all.
The important thing to be noted is the involvement of all the activists, women
members and the Managing Committee members of Jaipur unit in organizing this CWC
meetings. Jaipur comrades should make a review in the Executive Committee
meeting and make efforts to keep up this tempo forever. CHQ and on behalf of all the delegates I
convey my sincere thanks to Jaipur unit for making this event a memorable one.
General
Secretary, AIPAEA summed up the entire proceedings of CWC on the final day of
the meeting. The focus of this CWC is to build the AIPAEA from grass root level
up to CHQ. All the Circle leaders are requested to take follow up action on the
suggestions to strengthen the Association and to involve the entirety of
membership in the union activities. Let’s strive hard to take the AIPAEA to the
new heights.
The
CHQ will forward all the Resolutions to the Authorities. The Resolutions are
not mere formality. We will back up these resolutions with appropriate
programme of action. CHQ soon will chalk out the programme and intimate the
units for implementation.
COURT CASES
CHQ
has filed the Caveat in the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi. CHQ also requesting
the Department to implement the stepping up judgment without further litigation. The case filed in the CAT Chennai
will come up for hearing in this month. CHQ will inform the further
developments in this case.
You
are all aware that the Railway Accounts Association has won the case of payment
of arrears from 01-01-1996 to 18-03-2003 in the parity matter. CHQ is keenly
watching the progress in this matter. Appropriate action will be taken by the
CHQ. In the CWC it has been decided to raise funds from the members to
fight
the cases in the Court of law. I request all the units to rise up to the
occasion.
GR.B STATUS TO THE SENIOR ACCOUNTANT
CADRE
Finally,
order has been issued by the PA wing and the same order could have been issued
by the PA wing two years back. AIPAEA has provided all the material and orders
to the Department, but of no avail due to the negative stand taken by some
officers. I convey my sincere thanks to all the Authorities for taking a
favourable decision in this regard.
FOUR ADVANCE INCREMENTS CASE
Now
the issue has reached the final stage. I thank Com. S.K.Vyasji for his efforts
in this case. It is expected that the file will be signed and sent to DOP soon.
PART – II EXAMINATION
Still
the stay order issued by Hon’ble CAT Patna is in force. The next date of
hearing in this case is on 20-03-13. Only after the vacation of the stay order
the Department can declare the results.
CELEBRATE INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY
March
8th is International Women’s Day. My greetings to all our women
comrades on this day. AIPAEA will always
remember the contribution of our lady members in strengthening our Organisation.
They are the cause of success of many movements launched by AIPAEA and NFPE.
There is every need to strengthen the participation of women employees in the
activities of AIPAEA. It is our duty to ensure that the funds in the gender budget at the Circle level is properly
utilized. At all Circles the AIPAEA
leadership should take up the issues of providing ladies room and other
amenities to our lady comrades. Involve
the lady comrades and get their needs represented through AIPAEA to spend funds
from the gender budget. Celebrate the International Women’s Day by organising
