CONFEDERATION DISOWNS THE STATEMENT OF SECRETARY, STAFF SIDE, NATIONAL COUNCIL JCM

Com Shiv Gopal Misra, Secretary, Staff Side, National Council JCM & General Secretary, All India Railway Men's Federation has issued a Press statement "welcoming and thanking " the decision of the Central Government regarding implementation of the revised allowances to Central Government employees . The statement has created an impression among some section of employees that all the organisations of National Council JCM (including organisations affiliated to Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers)  are of the same opinion and all the leaders of the JCM Staff Side has cheated the employees. To put the records straight, Confederation National Secretariat like to make it clear that our opinion was not sought by Secretary, Staff Side, National Council JCM, before issuing such a statement. We have already given a call to the employees to hold nationwide protest demonstrations against betrayal of the NDA Government. Confederation alone has conducted a series of agitational programmes against the negative attitude of the NDA Govt. towards Employees and Pensioners, including 15th December 2016  Parliament March, 16th March 2017 one day strike , 23rd May 2017 Mass dharna in front of Finance Ministers office , 22nd June 2017 Human Chain etc. Confederation National Secretariat strongly disagree with certain views and comments made by Secretary, Staff Side, and organisations affiliated to Confederation who have representation in JCM totally disown the statement. We strongly condemn the unilateral attitude of Secretary, Staff Side, National Council JCM. The statement issued by the three Standing Committee Members of Staff Side National Council JCM who are representing Confederation in the JCM Standing Committee is furnished below.

DATED – 30.06.2017

STANDING COMMITTEE MEMBERS, STAFF SIDE NATIONAL COUNCIL JCM, REPRESENTING CONFEDERATION DISAGREE AND DISOWN THE STATEMENT OF SRI. SHIV GOPAL MISRA, SECRETARY, STAFF SIDE, NATIONAL COUNCIL JCM

It was extremely unfortunate that the Staff Side Secretary through his press statement issued yesterday has chosen to praise the Modi Government over the decisions it had taken on various demands of the Central Govt. employees. The said statement was issued apparently without causing any consultation either formally or informally with the other members of the Staff Side, in any case not at all in consultation with the signatories of this statement.  We, being the members of the Standing Committee, emphatically disagree and distance ourselves from the position taken by him in the Press Statement.

There had been no justification for the 7^th CPC to reduce the rate of HRA by an imagined factor of 0.8. Neither during the discussions, the staff side had with the committee headed by the Expenditure Secretary, nor in the press release issued after the Cabinet meeting, the Govt. had advanced  any logic for their decision to restore the rate of HRA only for those who draw pay at the level of Rs.18000. There had been no appreciation of any of the concerns or issues raised by the staff side and whatever decisions so far taken by the Govt. was inconsonance with the views and recommendations of the top echelons of the bureaucracy,  be in the matter of allowances, minimum wage, fitment factor, rejection  of option no.1 for the pensioners or withdrawal of  NPS.

The highly defective computation of minimum wage by the 7^th CPC and the consequent denial of a reasonable wage structure, withdrawal of existing allowances and benefits, virtual abrogation of the time bound promotion to the lower category of employees; rejection of option No. 1 to pensioners, refusal to grant atleast a  minimum guaranteed pension under NPS   require the  strongest condemnation.

The fact that decisions taken by the Govt. on 7^th CPC issues are clear reflections of Modi Government's. anti- labour attitude ought to have been, what the staff side secretary conveyed through his press release. His statement has, as stated earlier sadly reflects the total disconnect between the common Central Govt. employees and JCM staff side leadership.

Had it been the statement on behalf of the AIRF, we would not have issued this denouncement  at all, as we consider that it is the prerogative of each organisation to view things in their perspective and formulate their  opinions.

POSTAL CASUAL LABOURERS STRUGGLE IN TAMILNADU

STRIKE DECLARED BY

NFPE CIRCLE CO-ORDINATING COMMITTEE

FAST IN FRONT OF CPMG OFFICE CALLED OFF

MOST INSPIRING STRUGGLE IN THE HISTORY OF CASUAL LABOURERS.

            As per the decision taken by the Central Working Committee of All India Postal Casual , Partime , Contingent and Contract Workers Federation , the fast infront of Chief PMG office Chennai commenced on 27th June 2017 demanding revision of wages of Casual Labourers with effect from 01.01.2006 and 01.01.2016 as per orders issued by Postal Directorate. Along with leaders of Casual Labour Federation , leaders of NFPE Circle Co-ordinating Committee (CCC) , Confederation State Committee also joined the programme extending full support and solidarity. The programme was organised under the leadership of NFPE CCC Tamilnadu Circle. More than 1000 casual workers participated in the struggle. Chief PMG held two round discussions with Circle Secretaries of NFPE on 27th June. CPMG took a stand that Directorate orders are not implemented in any circle and challenged our leaders to produce copies of the orders issued by Divisions in other circles. Next day morning Circle leaders produced before the Assistant Director ,  copies of orders issued and implemented in many divisions of Kerala , Andhra and Telangana including Vijayawada Region where the CPMG was working as PMG prior to his promotion as CPMG Tamilnadu. Understanding that his arguments stands demolished by NFPE Circle Unions , the CPMG , instead showing the courage to face the NFPE leaders again in the discussion table , suddenly left  Chennai (ran away !!) without intimating the leaders. It is learnt that he will not be available in Chennai for next four days.  NFPE COC held an emergent meeting and decided to declare one day strike on 13th July 2017 protesting against the negative stand of the Circle administration and demanding immediate wage revision of Casual Labourers. Accordingly 14 days legal notice for the strike was served on 28th June 2017. Entire employees of Tamilnadu Circle  (P3 , P4 , R3 , R4 , Admin , Postal Accounts , SBCO , GDS and Casual Labourers)  will go on strike for the cause of Casual Labourers declaring -- "an injury to one is an injury to all" !!!. As strike is declared , NFPE CCC decided to call off the fast in front of CPMG office and the mass fast ended at 5 PM on 28th June with thundering slogans.

            The Fast was inaugurated by Com M.Durai Pandian , General Secretary , Confederation Tamilnadu state. Com: T.K.Rangarajan , MP (CPIM) and Shri R.S.Bharati , MP (DMK) addressed the programme.

            Red Salute to the NFPE / Confederation/ Casual Labour leaders and members who made it a historic struggle.

NATIONWIDE PROTEST DEMONSTRATIONS AGAINST THE CABINET DECISION ON ALLOWANCES TO CG EMPLOYEES

CENTRAL GOVT EMPLOYEES AGAIN BETRAYED BY NDA GOVERNMENT.

DATE OF EFFECT FROM 01-01-2016 AND RESTORATION OF RATE OF HRA DENIED

HOLD NATIONWIDE PROTEST DEMONSTRATIONS IN FRONT OF ALL OFFICES

NDA Government has once again betrayed the entire Central Govt Employees. The demand of the employees to restore HRA to 30, 20 & 10% is denied. Date of effect for allowances is fixed as 01-07-2017 denying 18 months arrears.

The BJP lead NDA Government deliberately delayed the legitimate right of the employees. The assurance given by Cabinet Ministers regarding increase in Minimum Pay and Fitment Formula  is also not honoured till date. NDA Government is the worst Government as far as employees and workers are concerned.

Confederation National Secretariat calls upon entire Central Govt Employees to hold demonstrations in front of all Central Govt Offices protesting against the anti-employees, anti-workers stand of the NDA Government.

INDEFINITE HUNGER FAST IN FRONT OF CPMG OFFICE BY CASUAL LABOUR FEDERATION WITH THE LEADERS OF CONFEDERATION & NFPE (TN)

            Massive turn out of postal casual labourers and postal workers at the venue of Chief PMG office, Tamilnadu marked the beginning of indefinite fast by CHQ leaders of Postal Casual Labourers Federation today (27-06-2017) morning. The indefinite fast is for the single demand of implementation of DG orders on Casual labourers revision of wages in Tamil Nadu from 01-01-2006.

            The indefinite hunger fast continued for 28th June 2017 (2nd day) also.

Indefinite fast called off on serving of Strike Notice by NFPE COC TN Circle ! 

            On the face of CPMG going away from Chennai without meeting the leaders even after supplying proof of disbursement of arrears as per the orders of Directorate for implementation of revised wages of 6th CPC in Kerala & Andhra, the COC had no option but to serve strike notice. 

            Accordingly a strike notice was served on the Chief PMG for a strike of Postal Employees of Tamilnadu on 13th July. 

            Now the focus is on campaigning for the success of strike to win implementation of directorate orders for 6th CPC wages order to casual labourers in TN Circle. The indefinite fast by CHQ leaders under the leadership of Comrade M Krishnan (SG Confederation) is a new history in the movement of casual workers. 

            Before closing the programme comrade S.Theagarajan SG FNPO addressed the gathering and assured all possible support to 13th strike after consultation with FNPO circle unions. The Circle Administration is thus paving way for a militant state wide agitation of Tamil Nadu  Postal working class .

Extend solidarity to the indefinite hunger fast by Casual Labour Federation in Chennai

To

All  Circle / Divisional Secretaries of NFPE affiliates,

Dear Comrades,

Please the above report regarding the indefinite fast  commenced by leaders of Casual Labour Federation at Chennai along with NFPE Tamilnadu Circle leaders. All units are requested to organize lunch hour demonstration in support of the struggle.

Massive mobilization at the venue of indefinite fast headed by Com.M.Krishnan, SG, Confederation

A massive turn out of postal casual labourers and postal workers at the venue of Chief PMG office, Tamilnadu marked the beginning of indefinite fast by CHQ leaders of Postal Casual Labourers Federation today (27-06-2017) morning. The indefinite fast is for the single demand of implementation of DG orders on Casual labourers revision of wages in Tamil Nadu from 01-01-2006.

On seeing the most unjustified stand of Circle Administration that denies to revise wages of casual labourers on the basis of 6^th and 7^th CPC wages as ordered by Department of Posts. The CHQ in its CWC decided to undertake indefinite fast by CHQ leaders under the leadership of  Com. M.Krishnan (CHQ President), Comrades P. Mohan (CHQ G/S), Y.Nagabhushanam (Wkg. President CHQ), D.Sivagurunadhan (CHQ Treasurer), and S. Balamurugan (CHQ OGS)  as well as comrades J.Ramamurthy (President P3 CHQ), B.Parandhaman (NFPE CoC President), G.Kannan (Convener, NFPE CoC), also in the indefinite fast along with Comrade Krishnan.

Com. M.Duraipandian COC, G/S, Tamilnadu  inaugurated and several leaders of Confederation affiliates too graced the agitation. The important point to be highlighted is that the programme was held despite the negative stand of denial of permission to the indefinite fast by Circle Administration.
