BILL ON NEW PENSION SCHEME IS ON THE AGENDA OF THE CURRENT SESSION OF THE PARLIAMENT - CONFEDERATION GIVES A CALL TO ALL CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES TO ORGANIZE TWO HOURS WALK-OUT ON THE DAY WHEN THE BILL IS TAKEN UP FOR DISCUSSION IN THE PARLIAMENT

CONFEDERATION OF CENTRAL GOVT. EMPLOYEES & WORKERS

1^st Floor, North Avenue PO Building, New Delhi – 110001

WITHDRAW CONTRIBUTORY PENSION SCHEME

SCRAP PFRDA BIL

As you are aware, Central Government is going ahead with their agenda on pension privatization. The controversial PFRDA Bill (Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority Bill) is listed as an agenda item for the current Parliament session. The bill may be taken up for discussion in Parliament on any day. Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers has opposed the Contributory Pension Scheme and also the PFRDA Bill from the very beginning.

We have conducted so many agitational programmes including strike. The left parties in the parliament have also strongly opposed the Bill. Inspite of the opposition from employees (both Central Government and State Government Employees & Teachers) and also from left political parties, the Central Government is not ready to withdraw the contributory Pension scheme or to scrap the PFRDA Bill.

The National Secretariat of the Confederation has viewed the move of the Government with grave concern and decided to call upon the entirety of the Central Government Employees & Workers to organize mass protest demonstration in front of all offices throughout the country after walking out from offices for two hours, on the day when the bill is taken up for discussion in Parliament or on the next day if information is received late.

All India office bearers, State level COCs and other COCs are requested to make the two hours walk out programme a grand success.
