2nd 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 2nd 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 43rd,
44th and 45th 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 7th 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 2nd 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:

Strike call of Central Trade Unions and independent Federations , role of BMS

Railways, defence and strategic sale of Public Sector undertakings, Govt’s
refusal to hold serious negotiations with the Central Trade Unions, the
reluctance of the Cabinet Sub Committee constituted by Prime Minister under the
Chairmanship of Finance Minister to hold meaningful negotiations, Govt. understands
only the language of struggle and strikes, need of intensive campaign to take
the message of Sept. 2nd strike and charter of demands to every nook and corner
of the country, social oppression in the name of caste and religion taking
place in various parts of the country which has become a great challenge to the
unity of the working class, need and importance of united struggle to defeat
the neo-liberal policies and also communalism. Finally he called upon the
leaders, delegates and observers attending the Conference to make the 2nd
September 2016 strike a historic success, especially in the Central Govt.
employees sector.
Sri.R. S.Bharati, MP, DMK addressed the National Conference and conveyed best
wishes.
Com.
T. M. Murthy, National Secretary, AITUC, in his address to the Conference
narrated in detail the importance of September 2nd strike and the issues raised
in the charter of demands. He criticised the totally negative attitude of
the NDA Government towards working class and the common people of the

General, AIDEF and Member NJCA also addressed the open session. All the
three leaders explained in detail, the developments which resulted in the deferment
of the 11th July indefinite strike call of NJCA. They pointed out that it
is only because of the total unity and preparedness of the entire Central Govt.
Employees including Railways, Defence, Postal and Confederation, the Govt.
finally came down and the Prime Minister intervened and directed the Senior
Cabinet Minister’s Committee to negotiate with the NJCA. Govt. initially was
under the impression that once the pay commission recommended pay scales and
benefits are announced by the Cabinet, the NJCA’s strike threat will
automatically fizzle out. But Govt’s calculations went wrong and
NJCA took a firm stand. On 30th June Group of Ministers assured increase
in the minimum pay and fitment factor and appointment of a High Level Committee
to make recommendations for fulfilling their assurance. The leaders made
clear that in case the Government go back from its assurance, the deferred
indefinite strike will be revived by the NJCA. They assured that the NJCA
and JCM staff side will make maximum efforts to get positive results from the
five committees proposed by the Govt. viz. 1) Allowance Committee headed by
Finance and Expenditure Secretary, 2) Anomaly Committee, 3) Committee to
take decision on the feasibility of option-I of Pension Fixation
recommendation of 7th CPC, 4) Committee for streamlining the implementation of
the New Pension System (NPS), 5) High Level Committee as per the assurance of
Group of Ministers. They stressed the need to further strengthening
of unity and NJCA.
