2nd SEPTEMBER 2016 -ALL INDIA GENERAL STRIKE MAKE IT A GRAND SUCCESS

2^nd SEPTEMBER 2016 -ALL INDIA GENERAL STRIKE

MAKE IT A GRAND SUCCESS

The Joint platform of Central Trade Unions (CTUs) of the Country along with Independent National Federations of employees of different industries and services including Confederation of Central Govt. Employees and Workers, have decided to organize All India General Strike on 2^nd September 2016, against the anti-people, anti-workers policies and authoritarian attitude of the NDA Government. Intensive campaign and preparation to make the general strike a resounding historical success is going on in full swing throughout the country. The attitude of the NDA Government is profoundly negative and hugely challenging to the working class including Central Govt. employees. The issues in the Charter of demands submitted by the Trade Unions to the Govt. relate to basic interest of the country’s economy and also issues concerning the livelihood of the working people of both organized and unorganized sectors.

Govt. has not taken any meaningful step to curb price rise of essential commodities and to generate employment except making tall baseless claims. Govt. is mysteriously silent on the question of retrieving the black money stashed abroad and recovering lakhs of crores of rupees of bad debts of public sector banks. Whole range of social security measures are under severe attacks including the pension of post – 2004 entrants in Central Govt. Services. Govt. has launched atrocious attack of drastic cut in interest on small savings deposits. Totally ignoring the united opposition of the working class, the Govt. has been moving fast to demolish existing labour laws thereby empowering the employers with unfettered rights to “hire and fire” and stripping the workers and trade union of all their rights and protection provided in laws. Alongwith the peasantry and agri- labourers are also under severe attack. Attack on public sector has been pushed to unprecedented height with Govt. announcing mega strategic sale and also allowing unlimited FDI in strategic sectors like Railways, Defence and financial Sector as complimentary to the move of privatization and Public Private partnership etc. The anti-worker and authoritarian attitude of the Government is also nakedely reflected in their refusal to implement the consensus recommendations of 43^rd, 44^th and 45^th Indian Labour Conference for formulations of minimum wages, equal wage and benefits of regular workers to the Contract workers.

The neo-liberal economic policies pursued by the Govt. has landed the entire national economy in distress and decline affecting the working people the most.

Central Govt. Employees worst affected:

The policy offensives of the Govt. like downsizing, outsourcing, contractorisation, corporatization and privatization has affected the Central Govt. departments and employees in a worst manner. Ban on creation of new posts and non-filling up of about six lakhs vacant posts had increased the work load of the existing employees and adversely affected the efficiency of the services. The New Pension Scheme (NPS) implemented with affect from 01.01.2004, is nothing but a “No Pension Scheme”, as it is fully dependent on the vagaries of share market forces. The Govt. is not ready to grant civil servant status to Gramin Dak Sevaks and to regularize the services of causal, contingent and contract workers. The 5% ceiling on compassionate appointment is not yet removed. The bonus ceiling enhancement from Rs.3500/- to Rs. 7000/- is not made applicable to Central Govt. Employees. Govt. is not ready to modify the 7^th CPC recommendations, which is worst ever made by any pay commissions. The assurance given to the staff side regarding enhancement minimum pay and fitment formula is yet to be implemented. All other retrograde recommendations like reduction in the percentage of HRA, abolition of 52 allowances etc. are yet to be modified. Overall the attitude of the Modi Govt. is totally negative towards the Central Govt. employees and pensioners.

The National Secretariat is of the firm opinion that unless the policy of the Govt. is changed, more attacks are likely to come on the Central Govt. employees and working class. To change the policy the united struggle of entire working class is required. It is in this background the Confederation of Central Govt. employees and workers has decided to join the General Strike along with other sections of the working class of our country.

The Confederation National Secretariat calls upon the entirety of Central Govt. employees to make intensive campaign and preparation for making the 2^nd September 2016 strike a grand success. Along with the 12 Point charter of demands of the working class, the Confederation has decided to submit the demands pertaining to the Central Govt. employees also as Part-B of the Charter of demands to the Govt. The Chater of demands (Part A and B) is furnished below:

2016 September 2^nd General Strike 12 Point Charter of Demands of Joint Platform of Central Trade Unions submitted to government:

To

            The Secretary,

            Department of Posts,

            Dak Bhawan,

            New Delhi-110 001.

           Sub: -Bifurcation of A.P. Circle in to A.P and Telangana Circles w.e.f 01.07.2016-Calling for the options from the Circle cadre officials – Reg

           Ref: -  1. Directorate O.M No38-3/2014-PE – II dated 01.07.20162. CO Lr.No.ST/Bifurcation/A.P.Circle/2016 dated 15.07.2016.

Sir,

            Your kind attention is invited to the reference cited above on the subject, where in the A.P. Circle has been bifurcated in to A.P. and Telangana Circles vide reference cited (1) above. It has been clarified vide point No.9 of Annexure-III of directorate OM cited above that “Distribution of the staff will be as far as possible, based on willingness. One time option facility may be given to all staff concerned”.

            A.P. Circle vide CO letter cited under reference (2) above, issued instructions to the divisions/units to obtain the options from the officials belongs to circle cadre only i.e from LSG and above cadres and PA and MTS of RO/CO cadres only.

            I would like to invite your kind attention towards the recent recruitment of Postal Assistants in the circle where in the recruitment was held circle level and the candidates were allotted to the divisions/Regions on the basis of their merit in the selection list and options submitted by the candidates. In that process some of the candidates belong to present A.P. Circle posted to Telangana Circle and candidates belong to Present Telangana Circle posted to A.P. Circle based on their merit in the selection list and availability of vacancies at that time.  Now they have to wait for completion of 5 years of service to apply for Rule-38 transfer according to the existing rules on the subject.

            Khammam Division has been given to Hyderabad Region Telangana Circle, as the said division is under the revenue control of Telangana state. Earlier it was under the control of Postmaster General Vijayawada present A.P. Circle. The division jurisdiction is nearer to Vijayawada and east and west Godavari Districts and the officials belongs to neighbouring areas of those districts are working in the Khammam Division. The officials working in Khammam division are willing to opt for A.P. Circle also.

            Further I would like to mention that few villages/towns which were under the control of Khammam Postal Division and fall within the administrative control of Andhra Pradesh State. The options of the officials working in those post offices have to be taken in to consideration while allotment ofp staff on bifurcation.

            It is pertinent to mention that in the undivided A.P. Circle, the implementation of cadre restructuring has not taken place. If the circle administration implement the cadre restructuring, the number of posts of circle cadre will be increased and the officials working in those posts fall within the purview of circle cadre posts and they are eligible for giving their options while bifurcation. Now these officials are deprived off their opportunity to give their options because of non implementation of cadre restructuring in the circle. Though the order of cadre restructuring came much earlier than the circle bifurcation, the circle administration is implementing the bifurcation order without completing the cadre restructuring.

            Keeping in view the circumstances explained above, it would be more beneficial to the officials of PA cadre if the one time options may be called for from the Postal Assistants working in the Circle and the staff may be adjusted as per the sanctioned strength in the two circles.

            It is therefore , requested to kindly  cause  necessary instructions for calling for the options from all the officials in the circle as one time measure so that they can be accommodated as per their willingness after bifurcation of the circles.

            An early action in this regard is highly appreciated.

With regards,

Yours faithfully,

(R.N. Parashar)

Secretary General
