Appeal to all the Central Government employee's associations

Dear Friends,

Non consideration of grievances of   Central Government Employees  by UOI is mounting day by day. The entire working class and peasantry are on struggle path.  None of the 7^th CPC related demands of Central Government Employees are settled. The assurance given by the Group of Ministers to the NJCA leaders regarding increase in Minimum Pay and Fitment formula is in paper even after a lapse of 20 months. Now the Finance Minister has replied in Parliament that “no change in Minimum Pay and Fitment formula is at present under consideration”. Employees who joined service after 01.01.2004 are retiring with a megre pension of 1000 to 2000 rupees only under the NPS Scheme. In effect, New Pension System has become --no Pension System. Six lakhs posts are lying vacant for the last many years and now Govt. has issued orders to abolish all posts lying vacant for more than five years. HRA arrears, MACP Bench mark, MACP anomaly to consider GP-5400 in PB-2 and GP-5400 in PB-3 are same as per court verdict, NFSG upgradation is not a upgradation under MACP , Option-I for pensioners – Govt. is not ready to reconsider their stand.. Large scale outsourcing and privatization has become the order of the day. . Compassionate appointments have become a mirage. In many departments however  particularly  direct recruit Inspectors of Central Excise are getting one promotion in their service career despite Court verdict to grant 3  actual promotions.

Trade Union rights are denied. Orders banning dharna and demonstrations are issued. The draconian FR 56 (j) and Pension Rules 48 are misused as a short-cut to punish and victimize employees. JCM forums have become mere talking shops without any positive results. Recognition under CCS (RSA) Rules are delayed and Departmental Councils have become dead in many departments. Govt. sponsored unions are given undue patronage. Recognition of fighting organisations are withdrawn on flimsy grounds and trade union facilities are denied to the Chief Executives of recognised Associations.

It is in this background all the  Central Government employee's  associations should  decide to fight back these retrograde policies by mobilizing the entire Central Government employees by unleashing intensive campaign throughout the country culminating in strike.
