Circular No. Conf/5/2012
Dated: 30th April, 2012.
Dear Comrade,
The National Executive
meeting of the Confederation was held at Kolkata on 28thApril 2012 as
scheduled. The meeting was chaired by Com. S.K.Vyas, President. Of the 27
members of the Sectt., twenty comrades attended the meeting. Com. D.P.S
Madan and Com. Seethalakshmi did not attend the meeting. The other five
comrades had intimated their inability due to unavoidable circumstances to be
present at Kolkata. Eighteen National
Executive
Members representing affiliated Associations/Federations having more than 3000
members did attend the meeting. The prominent absentees were the
representatives of: (a) Central Sectt. Employees Federation, (b) CPWD Workers Union
(c) CGHS employees Association and (d) Marine Engg. Employees'
Association. However, the following affiliates, even though having less
than 3000 membership, sent in their representatives to attend the meeting as
observers.
Farakka Barrage
Engineers Association, Farakka Barrage Group D Employees Union, NSSO
Ministerial Staff Association, Botanical Survey of India Employees Association,
ICMR Employees Association, National Library Employees Association. Of the 18
State Committees, barring Gujarat, Rajasthan, North West Region (Haryana and
Punjab) and Himachal Pradesh, all sent in their representatives to attend the
meeting. It was, therefore, the best attended National Executive meeting
of the Confederation. We thank profusely the comrades who took the
trouble to make it possible. The West Bengal State Committee had made
very good arrangements for the conduct of the meeting. Excellent food and
very good lodging arrangements had been there. The decisions taken
at the meeting are briefly placed hereunder:
1. At the request of the house, Com. President
agreed to include to discuss the organisational matters and organisational
review was included in the agenda.
2. Agenda No.1: Programme of Action - Unanimously decided to organise a
March to Parliament on 26th July, 2012(Thursday) in pursuance of the 14 Points of Charter of
Demands, with a participation of about 50,000 comrades.
3. Series of demonstrative action programmes
will be carried out during the months of August to November, 2012.
4. The programme will be culminated in a One
day Strike on a date to be fixed by the Sectt. and announced at the rally on 26thJuly, 2012. The proposed one day strike will be on
a day between the last fortnight of November and the first week of December,
2012, depending upon the period of the Monsoon session of the Parliament to win
the demands in the Charter.
5. Agenda No. 2: Campaign programmes - The first phase of the campaign
programme will be concluded by 20th July, 2012. The National leaders will visit all
States. Meetings will be organised at least in three places in each
State. The State Committee immediately on receipt of this communication
will decide upon the tour programme for each station in the State. The
affiliates will book accommodation at Delhi for the participants who will have
to reach Delhi a day prior to the programme. The Comrades who will be
going over to Delhi may be advised to book both the to and fro journey
tickets. The Tour programme of the National leaders is given in the
annexure to this Circular. Both the State Committee and the deployed
comrades may seek changes in the date and place within one week of the receipt
of this communication. Whatever adjustments are possible, it would be
done by the CHHHQ. After a week no change could be possibly done. The
State/District Committees and the affiliates" State leadership will ensure
that the railway tickets are booked immediately and the list of volunteers to
participate in the March to Parliament programme finalised. The States
Committees of Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Delhi and Madhya Pradesh are specially
requested to mobilize large number of comrades who are stationed in and around
Delhi for participation in the March to Parliament programme. If necessary they may hire buses etc.
to bring the participants.
6. Review of 28th Feb. 2012 Strike participation: As per the reports
presented by both the State Committee and the affiliates, it is evident that
the strike participation of CGEs on 28th Feb. 2012 had surpassed all records and have enthused the rank
and file of the workers. Most of the comrades reported that the proposed strike
action in November/December, 2012 will have larger participation of CGEs in
view of the CGE specific demands in the charter. It emanated from the
discussion of the organizational review that the organizational state of
affairs in North West Region and Gujarat is quite pathetic and serious
attention to revive the functioning of the state Committees must be made. The
U.P State Committee will hold their conference in June, 2012. The State
Conference of Orissa has already been held and a new set of office bearers have
been elected. The Trineal State Conference of Conference was held with
participation of all District Committees. The State Committees have been formed
in Uttarakhand, Jharkhand and Chattisgarh. The continued inability of
H.P. State Committee to participate in the strike action as well as in the NE
meetings has been noted and it was decided that the National leaders must pay
attention to this aspect immediately. The Rajasthan State
Committee's Conference is overdue and steps must be initiated to hold the
Conference. In many districts of Tamilnadu, Committees are yet to be
formed and the State Committee's repeated assurance in the matter has not been
fructified.
Many affiliates have
reported the non functioning of the JCM Departmental and Office councils and
the non grant of recognition despite completion of all formalities. The
assigning of Group B. Non Gazetted Ministerial status to the employees with
grade pay of Rs. 4200 has created problems for many organisations. Taking
all these into account, the Committee decided to hold demonstration in front of
all offices and send the following telegram to the Cabinet Secretary and the
Secretary Personnel respectively. The demonstration is to be organized in front
of all offices on 25th May, 2012 and the
following telegrams/savingrams sent:
To Cabinet Secretary:
Rashtrapati Bhawan Annexe, New Delhi.
REQUEST
FOR ISSUANCE OF DIRECTIVE TO ALL DEPARTMENTS TO HOLD DEPARTMENTAL COUNCIL
MEETINGS AND GRANT RECOGNITION TO SERVICE ASSOCIATION WHEREVER THE ASSOCIATIONS
HAVE COMPLIED WITH THE CCS(RSA) RULES.
To
The Secretary
(Personnel) North Block, New Delhi.
KINDLY
CONVENE THE NATIONAL ANOMALY COMMITTEE MEETING AND SETTLE THE ANOMALY ITEMS
IMMEDIATELY.
7. Many comrades who
participated in the discussion agreed with Com. T.K. R. Pillai that the 6th CPC has done great injustice to the cadre
of LDCs and UDCs and the MACP scheme has compounded it. The restructuring
of the UDCs cadre in the Central Sectt. has accentuated the injustice and has
disturbed the parity which had all along been in existence with the Sectt and
subordinate office staff. The decision of the Govt. was in complete
contravention of the 6trh CPC recommendation to the effect that there must be
parity in the pay scales of Sectt and staff in the subordinate offices. The
restructuring ought to have been automatically extended to all field formation
as the Department of Personnel is the nodal cadre controlling authority for all
common categories, he added. The house, hearing the views of others,
decided that the National leaders should immediately take up this matter as
also the settlement of MACP related issues with the Government by holding
discussions. Com.Prasad
raised the issue of denial of transport allowance for those who are on field
duty which put them into great financial loss. The house directed the Sectt.to take up the
matter with the Govt. for the removal of conditions for the grant of Transport
allowance.
8. The other suggestion
that has emerged from the discussions were:
(a) The National leadership
of affiliated Associations should pay visit to the States periodically and the
problems of the employees discussed;
(b) The CHQ must monitor and
ensure that the State conferences are held within the time schedule prescribed
under the constitution;
(c) The Confederation's
decisions must be endorsed by all affiliates and communication to that effect
issued to all field formations with copy to the State Committees and CHQ.
(d) The CHQ leaders will
interact with the leaders of CGHS and Central Sectt. To elicit their
participation in the Confederation meetings.
9. The meeting also
discussed the probability of the PFRDA Bill getting enacted in this session of
the Parliament, especially in the background of the stated position of the BJP
to support such an enactment. BJP seems to have watered down its avowed
position and they may not perhaps insist upon guarantee even for a
minimum pension. If not altogether dropped, they may allow it to be
reduced to a pittance The meeting was of the opinion that the
Confederation as decided earlier, must register its opposition to the bill as
and when it is taken up for adoption, through a separate
programme. Accordingly, it is decided that a demonstration for two
hours on either the day the bill is taken up in the Parliament for discussion
or the next day must be organised.
The State Committee and
the affiliates are requested to kindly take the campaign programme very
seriously as an intensified and widespread mass contact will not only
rejuvenate our movement but will also ensure larger participation in the 26thJuly, 2012 March to
Parliament. We must reach out to our members even at the remote corners
of the country and we are certain that this campaign will help us to bring
about a strong organisational base before we embark upon the strike action.
Expecting your utmost
co-operation in making the programme of action a magnificent success,
With greetings,
Yours fraternally,
Sd/-
KKN Kutty
Secretary General.
