HOLD DEMONSTRATIONS AT THE CALL OF CONFEDERATION OF CG EMPLOYEES ON 10.03.2010

Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers has issued a Call for

Nationwide Demonstrations on 10.03.2010

 

Demonstrations are against the 'Introduction of Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority Bill' and 'New Tax Code' by the Government in the current Budget Session of Parliament. Demonstration is also against the Price Rise.

 

If the PFRDA Bill is adopted then the future of all Central Government Employees will become unsafe - The Government may subsequently order inclusion of all existing Government Employoees also under the Act and make the Contributory Pension Scheme compulsory for one and all. The total Privatisation of Pension will lead to a disaster of lives of millions of Government Employees. It is time to voice our protest so loudly that the law makers of the Parliament understand our concerns.

 

The New Tax Code is attacking even the lowest paid employees while extending concessions to upper wage earning brackets. We demand re-introduction of Standard Deductions and upward ceiling revision of non-taxable income.

 

The Price rise goes unchecked and whatever cushion we, the CG Employees got due to implementation of 6th CPC recommendations is fastly disappearing. We cannot against such a steep and unprecedented price rise. The current budget proposals of petrol and diesel  price hike and increase of Excise Duties will further push up the prices of all essential commodities.

 

Confederation of CG Employees has called upon for a protest demonstration all over India on 10.03.2010 for the above three issues.

 

NFPE Calls upon its rank and file Circles / Divisions / Branches to implement the call of the Confederation without fail.
