19.09.2008 – Strike Declaration Day
* ORGANISE VIBRANT DEMONSTRATIONS.
* HIGHLIGHT 18 POINT CHARTER OF DEMANDS.
* FOCUS MINIMUM WAGE AND 41% FITMENT FORMULA.
* FOCUS ON GDS COMMITTEE AND STATUS/PENSION.
* FOCUS BONUS CEILING AND 60 DAYS CAP.
* FOCUS ON SDA TO ALL EMPLOYEES IN NE REGION.
* SEND SAVINGRAM TO FINANCE MINISTER ON BONUS.
* SEND SAVINGRAM TO SECRETARY [P] ON GDS.
Remember that we have to observe with all vigour and urgency the Strike Declaration Day on 19th September 2008.
Confederation National Executive has given this call in preparation for highlighting the 18 Point Charter of Demands to launch the nationwide campaign that should culminate in Strike Ballot and Indefinite Strike.
NFPE has given the call to launch the demonstration with special emphasis on 'Enhancement of Bonus Ceiling for all CG Employees' to 3500/= as per the amended Bonus Act.
NFPE also calls upon you to effectively focus the other demand in the Charter for 'Immediate Submission GDS Committee Report with grant of Status and Pension'. The Nataraja Murti Committee is delaying submission of its Report and this may cause some serious problems for us if elections are declared. Urgency is there to get the Report early.
We also remind our comrades that unless the Minimum Wage is improved on par with 15th ILC Norms we will be forced to bear heavy loss in future as there is not going to be any merger of DA in future.
Honourable President of India – Vice President of India – Governors have been offered a 300% rise in pay by Union Cabinet. We are happy that they are our Constitutional Heads and Dignitaries.
6th Pay Commission has provided for a maximum of 180% fitment benefit for Group A Officers. We are not unhappy over it. Let them enjoy the hike.
But the Pay Commission cheated the Group C and D employees to the maximum and Group B to certain extent. Not even the minimum rise of 41% ensured to the Group A Officers is extended to others. This is gross injustice. This is intolerable.
The Union Cabinet has come forward to improve the Grade Pay of Group A Officers beyond the recommendations of the Pay Commission. But no attempt to address the genuine grievances of Group C and D employees in their Pay Bands. The existing hierarchical benefit in ACP Scheme is taken away on one hand but Group A Officers who are hitherto not covered by ACP Scheme are also extended the additional benefit of 3 ACP Scheme.
The Transport Allowance of a Group A Officer is 7000/= per month. The minimum pay of a Group C is also 7000/= per month. Petrol charges of an Officer's car are equated with the total expenditure of a Group C family at the bottom. But the Cabinet refused to consider the Staff Side demand for rationalization of Transport Allowance to ensure minimum 1200/= in metro and 800/= in non-metros as Transport Allowance to lower grade employees.
A typical capitalist approach by the Pay Commission!
A Model Employer's discriminatory deal between Officers and Employees!
A Naked Attack on the interests of Group D employees through plans to outsourcing!
* MAKE THE 19TH SEP CALL A GRAND SUCCESS.
* AGITATE AND EDUCATE ALL.

Sir,
ReplyDeleteOne increment in january 06 for those having increment in Feb to June may also be demanded.
If this not done, there will be a heavy loss to them. It is equavlent to a punishment of withholding increment with cummulative effect for a period of 5 months (for officials having increment in FEB)for entire service. This will run into thousands of Rupees. Please take nessary action.
Technology implemented in DOP and present computerisation status has been achieved due to the hardwork of System Administrators for 15 years in the hope that Department of Post will give some reward but all are in dustbin....
ReplyDeleteThis is the time to think by DOP for their System Administrator...
Dear Comrade kanivel - this issue of grant of increment on the due date of increment and also on 1.7.2006 is being taken up by the Confederation to remove any loss to employees.
