Notional increment on retirement: an employee ISW entitled to annual increment if he completes 6 months and hence 30th june in the demand should be replaced.

Many anomolies are there from 4th PC. But they do not get redrssed and is forgotten once the nxt PC is announced and implemented & the new anomolies are raising for redressal and so on. None of the PC or the unions or admin is shown any interest in resolving the old PC anomolies or covering them and are floated and the focus is on the current PC and its anomolies. The Govt. is also not implimenting the PC as recommended and tinkering to its convenience under the name of financial implications and adding fuel to the fire. The purpose of PC itself seems to give benifit to some top official for five more years and again as publicity to silence the unions and public and the employees.The CPC is also not covering the defects, and covering the old anomolies. When not able to impliment as it is there is no point in fixing any commission.
The 7 CPC is announced well in advance (as against the other CPC and is also not implimented by the GOVT. nearly 5 years over. The whole attitude seems to be only an eye was and publicity.

It appears that such strike is not going to make impect on Gov . Unless it is prolonged to a constable time frame . Govt has made it cler that it has no intension to remain in business activity . In it’s principle even Telecom , Railway , Oil. companies etc etc are business activities and not the backbone of the nation which needed gov shoulder to survive and be away from profitability competition . It’s not only a fight for employees and pensioners but also the fight for the welfare of national backbone .

Strike is not good at this time since entire world and India struggling to save life of thousands of people. Even strike is called for by the entire Central staff nothing will happens unless Railways too join with the strike..
There is nothing good than to appoint 8th cpc when govt is not releasing the DA&DR.
For each time is important for calling nationwide strike. Remember
Central govt is bold and strong.
Not only railways but the entire central govt organisations should be privatised. See there are 16 central government institute for the sake of fisheries and what is its contribution to tne nation when they are paid from budgets.
