CONDUCT INTENSIVE CAMPAIGN AND MAKE THE 4TH APRIL NAGPUR NATIONAL CONVENTION A GRAND SUCCESSDear Comrades,
The Union Cabinet approved the Finance Ministry’s proposal on terms of reference of the 7th CPC. We have placed the full text of the same on our website. None of the suggestions made by the Staff Side was accepted by the Government.
However, our concern over the date of effect seems to have been taken note of. The terms of reference
has left the effective date of its recommendations to be decided by the
Commission itself. A united stand backed up by struggles will enable
us to clinch this demand in our favour. Undoubtedly it has been our
endeavours and the two days strike action that has compelled the
Government to have a rethinking on their earlier stand of Decennial (Ten
years} wage revision for Central Government employees and the date of
effect as 1/1/2016
Unlike on the earlier occasion, the Government has not decided to grant
Interim Relief and merger of Dearness allowance. Nor has it asked the
Commission to consider and make appropriate recommendation in this
regard specifically. As pointed out in our earlier communication,
inclusion of a labour representative in the Commission being not an idea
the UPA Government cherishes, for it is diametrically opposite to its
economic policies and ideology, they have stuck to the position of
sandwiching the Honourable Judge with bureaucrats. In the light of the
agreement penned by Com. Mahadeviah, the General Secretary
of the recognised GDS union with the Postal Board to the effect that a
separate one man committee will look into the service conditions of the
Grameen Dak Sewaks, it is not surprising that the Government chose to
ignore our demand to cover them within the ambit of the 7th CPC. Our
demands for parity between the past and present pensioners and scrapping
of the new pension scheme also stand rejected.
As you are aware, the 6th CPC (and the earlier Commissions also) had
refused to entertain the demand for removal of anomalies despite
Government referring the same to the Commission specifically.
Therefore, the omnibus clause in the terms of reference requiring the Commission to submit interim reports may not be of any help to us to raise the anomalies before the 7th CPC.
At the conclusion of the meeting held on 24/10/2013 by Secretary, DoPT, with the staff side on terms of reference
of the 7th CPC, it was agreed that the Government will consider our
suggestion in the matter and will convene another meeting with the
presence of Secretary (Expenditure) to iron out the differences, if any,
and explore the possibilities of an agreement in the matter. But no
such meeting was convened and no attempt was made by the official side
to arrive at an agreed Terms of Reference.
We must now react to the arbitrary and unilateral decision of the
Government. We appeal all the State Secretaries, District Secretaries
and Branch Secretaries of the affiliated organisations and the
State/District COCs to immediately send the following Savingram to the
Prime Minister.
THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES WORKING IN THE ....... (NAME OF
THE STATION)/ OFFICE OF...........................CONDEMN THE ATTITUDE
OF THE GOVERNMENT IN NOT HONOURING ITS COMMITMENT OF HOLDING DISUCSSION
WITH THE STAFF SIDE JCM NATIONAL COUNCIL BEFORE FINALISING THE TERMS OF REFERENCE OF THE 7TH CPC AND DEMAND IMMEIDATE ACCEPTANCE OF :
(i) Interim Relief
(ii) Merger of DA

(vi) Coverage of the existing defined benefit pension scheme to employees recruited on or after 1.1.2004.
(vii) Include a representative of the Labour in the 7th Central Pay Commission.
(viii) Settle the anomalies raised in the National Anomaly Committee
While the National Convention scheduled to be held at Nagpur will chalk
out detailed and phased programmes of action, we call upon our State
Committees and Affiliated Unions to organise massive demonstration in
front of all offices and important centres on 7th March, 2014 (Friday)
or any other immediate convenient date. Kindly instruct all the Branches
to mobilise their members so that the demonstration has the
participation of cent per cent of the membership of the concerned
branch. The State Units and affiliated Unions may issue pamphlets and
posters and ensure its wide circulation throughout the country.
As already declared by the National Secretariat of the Confederation, we shall have to go for an indefinite strike action immediately after the General Election if our demands are to be settled.
With Greetings,
Yours fraternally,
M. KRISHNAN.
Secretary General.
