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.
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 7th 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 7th CPC from 2014 and grant of IR.
3) Minimum wage of Rs 27,000/-
Comradely yours

Demands for Interim Relief and Merger of DA

No. NC/JCM/2015

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,
