Dear Comrades - The following is the News Flash on Pay Commission and GDS Committee.
1. PAY COMMISSION: A High level meeting of the Cabinet Secretary, DOPT Secretary and the Expenditure Secretary was held on last Monday on 21.07.2008. Now on coming Monday on 28.07.2008 they will interact with the PMO. The Meeting of the Empowered Secretaries Committee would meet only after the above interaction with the PMO. Whether the Empowered Committee would invite Staff Side or confine their meeting only amongst the Secretaries is not yet clear. Any how it appears that the process of finalization preparatory to implementation is on and we may expect fast development soon.
By the way our comrades are once again reminded of our position on the matter of implementation of pay commission. We are clear that if our basic modifications in the recommendations are not accepted by the Government, then we have no option but to sit in an emergency Extended National Executive Meeting of Confederation and take a decision for industrial action.
2. GDS Committee: The Government has granted three months additional time to Natraja Murti Committee irrespective of the stiff opposition from the GDS Union and the NFPE. The reason appears to be that the Agency to whom the GDS Committee had entrusted some statistical work has not yet finalised its work. The CWC Meeting of the GDS Union is scheduled to meet at New Delhi from 29th to 31st July 2008. The GDS GS is already in consultation with the NFPE also. After the CWC meeting an appropriate decision would be taken on the matter of this negative development. NFPE is clear that any agitation of the CG Employees shall include the issue of important GDS Demands in the Charter and simialrly any Postal Employees agitation on pay commission related issues shall include basic GDS demands also
