The Statement made by Shri Narendra Modi, Honourable Prime Minister of the country at Varanasi to the effect that the Railways would not be privatised was misleading and intended to create confusion in the minds of the Railwaymen, especially in the background that the proposal to induct FDI in Railways to the extent of 100% is being pursued vigorously.
The Government has decided to set up a Corporation to carry on the functions of the 41 ordnance factories under the Ministry of Defence.
Except in a few States, the steps required to be taken for form the State level Committees of the JCA have not been undertaken.
In order to expedite the formation of such committee in all States, the NC JCM website will carry the names and addresses of the State leaders of the participating organisations
The Zonal Secretaries of AIRF will be asked to ensure that such committees are formed at all State Capitals before the end of this month and the convention is held on a mutually convenient date for all but before 15th February, 2014.
District conventions or March to Collectorates will be organised by the Committee in all District capitals of the country.
The entire month of March and the first half of April will be utilised for campaigning amongst the employees at all work- spots.
The March to Parliament will be organised on 28th April, 2015.
Every effort will be taken to reach a target of 5 lakh workers to participate in the said March. Target quota for each organisation will be fixed.
The State Committees will advise the National Convenor as to which organisations (those CGE organisations who are not presently participating in the JCM must be addressed to join the movement.
The State Committees after the convention will hold Press Conferences to give media publicity to the decisions taken including the decision to go on indefinite strike action.
The National JCA will hold a Press Conference at Delhi prior to the March to Parliament programme.
The Charter of demands will be amended (Item No.2) to include the following words: “and ordnance factories under the Ministry of Defence.”
Reminder letter will be sent to the Cabinet Secretary expressing distress over his silence and the non convening of the National Council, Anomaly Committee and Departmental Councils of the JCM.

7th CPC Demands and Prices

7th CPC Demands and Prices

Comrades,

Recently the international crude oil prices have come down from 145 dollars a barrel to 45 dollars a barrel. This shows how much reduction of 320 % in prices of crude oil, but the petrol and diesel prices have reduced by just 20 to 30%. The reduction in the international crude oil price has not been completely passed on the Indian consumer, the cess on oil has been increased four times and Central Government has already earned a revenue of more than Rs 20,000/- crores. The oil companies have also made enough money by not completely transforming the effect of the international crude oil price fall.

The inflation level has been at 5 %, in actual terms the prices of all commodities should have been reduced due to transportation cost reduction, many public transporters including the Railways , State Road Transport Companies have not passed the reduction in diesel prices. The Consumer Price Index from last five months has been stagnant at 253 points and by this DA expected is 6%. On the ground level the prices of vegetables, fruits and pulses are rising. Enough damage is done on the prices from last decade the prices have risen by over 250% and actual DA we got is just 107%.

To bridge this gap the pay rise should be more than 3.5 times the present wages of Central Government employees and immediate merger of DA and IR for CG employees is the need of the hour. Coming to the paying capacity of the Central Government it is noted that from past six months the revenue of the union of India has increased and due to the fall international crude oil price, the subsidy expenditure on fuel has reduced a lot. The expenditure on Central Government Employees wages has reduced in last decade from 8.8 % of total Expenditure of Central Government in 2001 to just 7.5 % in 2014 just 1.1 % of GDP.

CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS

The present overall revenue of the Central Government has also increased to 17.5 lakhs crores and Fiscal deficit of the budget has union budget is contained at just 4.1 % and also industrial growth has also improved in last six months, the climate is very good for 7^th CPC recommendations implementation, now it’s right time we strike for our demands.

1 1) DA Merger with effect from 2011.

2) Date of Effect of 7^th CPC from 2014 and grant of IR.

3) Minimum wage of Rs 27,000/-

Comradely yours

Demands for Interim Relief and Merger of DA

The inordinate delay in settling the demands for Interim Relief and Merger of DA is causing distress amongst the Central Government employees-NC JCM

The Cabinet Secretary,

Government of India,

Cabinet Secretariat,

Rashtrpati Bhawan Annexe,

New Delhi

Dear Sir,

I solicit your kind attention to my letter in No.NC/JCM/2014 dated 16 th December, 2014, wherein we had conveyed the decisions taken at the National Convention of representatives of the organisations participating in the JCM. We are distressed that you have chosen not to respond to our letter till date. We have so far not received any communication from any quarter of the convening of the National Council of the JCM. No effort has also been taken by any Ministry to convene the Departmental Councils.

We have now been given to understand that the Government has taken serious steps to set up a corporation to carry on the functions of the 41 ordnance Factories, presently functioning under the Ministry of Defence. We have also noted that the report of the Committee set up by the Government to corporatize the functions of the Postal Department. The inordinate delay in settling the demands for Interim Relief and Merger of DA is causing distress amongst the Central Government employees. The Railwaymen are particularly agitated over the decision of the Government to induct FDI to the extent of 100% in Railways, which we are aware cannot be done without privatisation of the Railways. The declaration of the Convention, which we had forwarded to you vide our letter cited had amply explained the anguish of the Central Government employees.

In order to register our opposition to the recent decision of the Government to corporatize the functions of the Ordnance factories, we have amended Item No.2 of the charter of demands. We send herewith the revised charter of demands.

The National JCA met today and took note of the silence on the part of the Government to our pleadings. The meeting has, therefore, decided to go ahead with the agitational programmes, the first phase of which will culminate in a massive March to Parliament by Central Government employees on 28th April, 2015. If no settlement is brought about on the 10 point charter of demands, we will be constrained to go for an indefinite strike action, the date of commencement of which will be decided on 28 th April, 2015.

Thanking you,

Comradely yours,

APPEAL TO EXTEND SOLIDARITY SUPPORT TO PENSIONERS ASSOCIATION

All General Secretaries/ Circle Secretaries & Divisional Secretaries of NFPE Unions are requested to extend solidarity support in holding protest demonstrations on 12.01.2015 as per the call given by All India Postal & RMS Pensioners Association .

Copy of call for protest demonstration by AIPRPA (CHQ) is placed below

CHQ AIPRPA CALLS FOR PROTEST DEMONSTRATIONS

AGAINST UNDUE DELAY OVER PAYMENT OF

ENHANCED FMA TO POSTAL PENSIONERS DRAWING

PENSION THROUGH POSB

PROTEST DEMONSTRATION

ON 12-01-2015

Hold Protest Demonstration on 12.01.2015 at a convenient time either at the lunch time or in the evening – Discuss with all Postal Unions Divisional Secretaries and enlist their support also.

Mobilize all Postal Pensioners and hold protest demonstrations before HPOs or Divisional Offices as per the convenience of Districts and Divisions. State Associations may mobilise all pensioners in the State Headquarters and hold the demonstration before the Chief PMG office. Take help from the NFPE Circle Secretaries in mobilizing before the Circle offices. AIPRPA CHQ has written to NFPE for extending support and solidarity to our call and requested the Federation to call for the support of all Divisional / Circle Unions.

The Ministry of Personnel and the Department of Pension and Pensioners Welfare had issued the orders enhancing the FMA from 300/- to 500/- per month w.e.f. 19.11.2014. The orders were issued on 19.11.2014 but even after the lapse of one and a half month, the payment is not ordered for Postal Pensioners holding POSB Accounts.

Payment to even the largest Central Government Department viz., the Railways have made the payment. The payment has been reportedly made by Banks to Postal Pensioners holding SB Account in their banks. We cannot understand as to why payment could not be made by POSB while Banks have already made the payment? This is absolutely not acceptable to us.

Divisional Offices and Head Post Offices say we have no instructions from above. This is illogical and not understandable because then how come the Banks could pay earlier?

All our CHQ Office Bearers, State Secretaries, General Convenors of State AIPRPA are requested to inform all Districts and Divisions to successfully hold the above protest demonstration on 12.01.2015.

All are requested to send their reports and photos about holding the programme to CHQ.

This is important – We cannot allow repeated delays of this nature to Pensioners – Arise, Mobilise, and Agitate on 12.01.2015.
