CONFEDERATION NATIONAL SECRETARIAT CALLS UPON ALL CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES
Observe 6th March 2017
as BLACK DAY
- Against the betrayal of Central Government employees and pensioners by Group of Ministers of NDA Government.
- Demanding increase in minimum pay and fitment formula.
Dear comrades
We know that all of you are in the midst of hectic preparation and campaign for making the 16th March Strike action a great success. As has been explained in the article, which we have placed on our website, the NDA Government, led by BJP has exhibited the worst anti-employee attitude in the post independent era of our country. This Government has treated its own employees as its worst enemy. The decision taken by the Union Cabinet on 29th June, 2016 rejecting even the recommendations made by the high level committee chaired by the Cabinet Secretary was unprecedented. Even the setting up of various committees was nothing but an eye wash. Nothing will come out of that. Even the NPS Committee on which the young comrades had pinned some hope of at least getting a minimum guaranteed pension will produce nothing. The discussions at the JCM fora has been converted into mostly monologues i.e. the official side simply listening and not reacting. The Government, it appears, has made the Pension department to reject the one and only recommendation of the 7th CPC which was considered to be positive i.e. Option No.1 for pensioners on the specious ground that the same is not feasible to be implemented. The allowances committee has dilly dallied its deliberation and would now submit its report after the extended period of 6 months expires on 22.02.2017. Even if they make any positive recommendation, which is seldom expected, the NDA Government would not act upon it. They have very successfully postponed the payment of the revised allowanced for 15 months.
In the face of such terrible onslaught, betrayal and chicanery, which no Government in the past has every indulged in, it is surprising that some of our friends who has a predominant role in the movement of the Central Government employees has unfortunately chosen to wait and watch. It appears that they have chosen to wait endlessly hurting the cause of the workers.
We have no hesitation to affirmatively state the obvious that we have chosen the right path, the path of struggles, which can only the choice of the working class against tyrannical attitude of the employer, howsoever, powerful they may be. We must realize that those who are in the saddle of power today are not permanently posted there. We were witness to the abysmal downfall of persons who were arrogant personified. It appears that the reasonableness, righteousness and patience we had exhibited have been taken as signs of cowardice. The undeniable fact is that those who fight, only can win. We, therefore, appeal to you to carry on with conviction and courage.
Eight months will be over on 6th March, 2017, when the Group of Ministers held out the assurance of revisiting the minimum wage and multiplication factor. It is now crystal clear that that was an act of chicanery. No committee was set up and no discussions were held to seriously consider the issue. We, therefore, appeal to all of you to ensure that the day, i.e. 6th March, 2017 is observed as a day of betrayal and all our members are requested to wear a Black badge with the following words inscribed on it in bold letters and conduct demonstrations in front of all Central Government offices.
HONOUR THE COMMITMENT MADE ON
30th June & 6th JULY, 2016
REVISE THE MINIMUM WAGE AND
MULTIPLICATION FACTOR
6TH March 2017 must be yet another occasion to mobilize our members to ensure their participation in the 16th March, 2017 strike action and ultimately win all the demands in the charter.
We fight to win and we shall win.
With greetings,
Yours fraternally,
(M Krishnan)
Secretary General

Sh. Krishnan Ji, what about De-linking of Entitlement of Govt Accommodation Basic Pay and linking with Grade Pay/ Level which is highly DISCRIMINATORY and SMELL NEW FORM OF BRAHMINICAL CASTIEST SYSTEM. Why everyone is silent on this issue. What financial implication was involved if continued with previous system of Entitlement of Govt Accommodation Linked with Basic Pay Drawn by employee.

When there was good hope for strike in 2015 nothing done Now let us see what the govt is going to do. A government now ruling at central submitted a budget to the people’s parliament on 1.2.2017.. But there was not a word of about the pensioners and serving government employees. That itself tells everything. The strength of pensioners and employees goes beyond one crorer.

Govt. is inclined to crush the old pensioners and all employee of its Govt. Govt. which is not good on its part. When 7th CPC has give recommendations after lapse of 10 years why it should not be implemented in toto. It should be made effective from 1st Jan.2016.
It is surprising GOVT. is spending enormous funds in some of the useless Projects for example one like “HIGH SPEED TRAIN/BULLET TRAIN only from NEW DELHI to MEERUT” which will take 60 minutes to REACH MEERUT. Which is totally unviable technically & FINANCIALLY.
There are other technically/economically viable option. Why not the existing road can be made 2-tier by providing a OVER HEAD ROAD right fro Delhi to Meerut. Its cpst will be almost 1/3rd of the High Speed Train that to it can be BUILT BY GOVT. ON PPP MODEL.
Being viable & economical and with less time nearly 50% of the HIGH SPEED. You must get it examined by your EXPERT GROUP and see?. I am sure there will be enormous svaing of public money.
In view of such expenditure Govt. should have a positive view view towards it employee/pensioners. . .
