I. CONFEDERAITON CHARTER OF DEMANDS AND FUTURE COURSE OF ACTION:
The meeting noted with grave concern the totally negative attitude of the Central Govt. towards the genuine and legitimate demands of the Central Govt. Employees including increase in Minimum Pay and Fitment formula, withdraw NPS, Implement Option-I for pensioners, Regularise GDS and Casual/Contract Labourers, Revision of Wages and pension of Autonomous body employees and pensioners, grant of equal pay for equal work and parity in pay scales, compassionate appointments etc. The meeting further noted the reluctance of the dominant organisations of NJCA to revive the deferred indefinite strike or to organise any serious agitational programmes on 7th CPC related issues. The meeting noted that the independent struggles programmes organised by Confederaiton including Parliament March on15th December 2016, One day nationwide strike on 16-3-2017, Mass protest dharna in front of Finance Minister’s office on 23-05-2017, Human Chain on 22-06-2017, Burning of HRA orders on 25-07-2017, One day dharna at all district headquarters on 19-09-2017, Mass dharna at all state headquarters on 17-10-2017, has its own impact and the entire Central Govt. Employees are agitated and supporting the demands raised by Confederation. Govt. responded in a negative manner, by imposing ban on conducting dharnas and demonstration by Confederation on 19-09-2017 and 17-10-2017. Inspite of the ban orders, dharnas were conducted in a massive manner at all district headquarters and state headquarters.
After detailed review of the whole situation, the National Secretariat decided to intensify the campaign and struggle for realisation of the demands raised in the charter of demands. National Secretariat decided to organise a National Convention of Central Govt. Employees at Hyderabad during the month of May/June 2018. Date and Venue of the convention will be declared shortly in consultation with the C-O-C Andhra & Telangana states. In the convention resolution will be adopted on the following 10 point charter of demands and phased programme of action culminating in strike will be declared. Details of draft resolution, phased programme of action and date of strike etc. will be finalised by the National Secretariat before the convention.
CHARTER OF DEMANDS:
1. Settle 7th CPC related issues including increase in Minimum Pay and Fitment formula, HRA arreas, MACP Bench mark, Option-I for pensioners etc.

III. PROTEST HUGER FAST AT NEW DELHI AND IN FRONT OF ALL GOVT. OF INDIA PRESSES JOINTLY BY CONFEDERATION AND FEDERATION OF PRINTING, PUBLICATION AND STATIONERY EMPLOYEES (NFPPSE).
Inspite of the intervention of MPs inside and outside Parliament, inspite of two-times unanimous recommedations of the Parliamentry Standing Committee, inspite of the protest programmes organised by Confederation and NFPPSE the Govt. is not ready to withdraw its decision to close down 12 Govt. of India Presses. Com. Tapan Sen, MP, raised the issue in Rajya Sabha and about 12 MPs supported his demand. Secretary, JCM National Council staff side also took up the issue and held discussion with the top-level officers, but they expressed helplessness as it is a Cabinet decision.
