measure to punish and victimise the employees.
(b) Withdraw all trade union victimisation and

Conventions,
General Body Meetings, gate meetings etc. may be held in all
offices/departments/state and intensive campaign and mobilisation work may be
organised to make the above programmes a grand success. Notices and leaflets may be printed and
circulated. Publicity may be given
through local media and maximum use of social media may also be made.
Comrades,
to defeat the anti-worker and anti-people policies of the NDA Government,
maximum unity of the working class is the need of the hour. Only through a united struggle of the entire
working class of the country these policies can be halted. Confederation being an organisation which is
in the forefront of all struggles against the neo-liberal policies and also
being the one and the only organisation which is continuously fighting for the
demands of the entire Central Govt. employees and pensioners, has an added
responsibility to make the struggle of the entire working class a grand
success. An alternative policy is
possible and only the working class can lead the struggle for an alternative
policy and save the workers and also the common people of our country. Let us be proud to be part of such a
patriotic struggle.
2. Towards
50th Anniversary of 1968 September 19th historic one day strike of Central
Government Employees:
2018 September 19th (next year) is the 50th
anniversary of 1968 September 19th strike.
Before independence and after independence, the Central Government
employees had conducted many strikes.
But 1968 September 19th strike is written in red letters in the history
of Indian Working Class. It is because
that the strike had raised the demand for a scientific wage revision based on
the Need Based Minimum Wage formula approved by the 15th Indian Labour
Conference held in 1957. Central Govt.
employees fought for the demand of entire working class of India ie. Need Based
Minimum Wage. The ruling class of India
understood that if the demand of the Central Govt. employees is accepted, all
other section of the working class including those in private sector shall go
on struggle for implementation of Need Based Minimum Wage to them also and
ultimately it will result in changing their pro-capitalist economic policy
itself, which they never want to change.
The ruling class let loose all destructive forces and repressive
measures at their command to crush the
strike. The Cental Government employees had to pay a heavy price -seventeen
(17) comrades had been brutally murdered
by the ruling class. In addition 40000 suspensions, 64000 termination notices, arrets,
imprisionment, chargesheets , heavy punishments, transfers etc. Even today, the
Central Government employees and other sections of the working class are on
struggle path demanding Need Based
Minimum Wage.
To make the begining of the 50th
anniversary of the historic strike, this year’s Martyrs day
on 19-09-2017 should be organised in a befitting manner at all places by
hoisting flags, paying homage to martyrs etc. Before the 50th anniversary day
on 2018 september 19th, seminars, honouring of those who are victiimseld in the
1968 september 19th strike etc may be organised at all important centres. The
details of other programmes to be organised in connection with the 50th
anniversary will be decided in the next
National Secretariat meeting of the confederation to be held at Mumbai on 10-01-2018.
