better late, than
never!!
at last department of posts and
ministry of communications admitted that mckensey
model (mnop) l1, l2
model (mnop) l1, l2
is a total failure
orders issued to restore the old
position
name remains (l1, L2) but the scheme stands
scraped
the stand taken by the jca (nfpe
& fnpo)
from the very beginning has been
proved right.
it is a victory for our
continuous campaign and struggles including the decision for indefinite strike
which compelled the department to give an assurance that no rms offices will be
closed.
nfpe congratulates the entire
postal and rms
employees for this victory.
Now the question to be answered
by the authorities are:
1.
Who is responsible for the delay caused to the public mails due to back-routing
for the last two years?
2.
Who is responsible for the loss of public faith and trust in the Postal
department due to heavy delay caused due to L1, L2 in processing and
transmission of public mails?
3.
Who is responsible for paying an amount of more than 100 crores to be Mckensey
Consultancy for this anti-people, anti-worker, “Tuglak Model” reforms?
4.
Who are those behind this shady deal with the Mckensy consultancy? Why
are they not taken to task?

___________________________________________________________________________________
THIS IS THE OPPORTUNE MOMENT TO STRIKE THE IRON
– STRIKE IT HARD
Dear Comrades,
Confederation of
Central Government Employees And Workers in its National Council held in the
year 2010 at Mumbai has raised the demand of revision of wages of Central
Government employees for every five years. Since then CCGEW is consistently
agitating over the 15 point charter of demands which includes appointment of 7th
CPC and merger of 50% D.A. with the pay for all purposes. All these protests have culminated into a
historical one day strike on 12-12-12. This strike stirred other major unions
in the Railways and Defence and paved way for united action in the coming days
to achieve the major demands of the Central Government employees.
Central Head Quarters
of the CCGEW has reviewed the entire developments on the charter of demands in
its National Secretariat meeting held at New Delhi on 22.07.2013. It is decided
to step up the campaign and prepare the rank and file for the ultimate trade
union action to achieve the demand of appointment of 7th CPC, 50%
merger of DA with Pay for all purposes, scraping of New Pension Scheme and
other demands. Confederation has chalked out the following programme of action.
1.
State level joint strike conventions in the month
of August 2013.
2. Mass

September 2013.
3.

September 2013.
4. Holding of Central Working Committee/National
Executive meetings of all the affiliated unions before the first week of
October 2013.
Confederation is spearheading the protest actions with a clear cut
vision and strategy. Vision is to achieve the wage revision for every five
years and the strategy is to unify all the Central Government employees
including Railways and Defence for the ultimate showdown. To take the Charter
to each and every Central Government employee and to register his/her anger and
protest, the strike ballot is thought of, though it is not a mandatory
requirement for strike action. Massive mobilization and expression of our
determination by total participation in the calls given by CCGEW will ensure
the achievement of our demands even without using the ultimate weapon.
