8th & 9th JANUARY 2019
STOP
THE DISASTROUS NEO-LIBERAL POLICIES.
DEFEAT
THE RULING CLASS POLITICS BEHIND IT.
National
Secretariat of Confederation unanimously decided to make the two days
nation-wide strike on 2019 January 8th & 9th a grand success in
the Central Govt. Employees Sector. The decision of the Central
Headquarters to postpone the one day strike on 15-11-2018 and to organise two
days nationwide strike on 2019 January 8th & 9th is ratified by the
National Secretariat. Srike will be organised on 10 points charter
of demands of Confederation (reproduced below). First
and most important demand of the strike will be “Scrap NPS & Restore OPS”. In
connection with the strike, following decisions are taken.
1. Strike
campaign is most important. The message of the strike and the
demands raised should reach each and every Central Govt. employee and
pensioner. Notices, pamphlets, posters etc. should be printed and
circulated among all employees. Maximum campaign through websites,
journals of affiliates, print and electronic media and social media should be
made by each affiliated Unions/Associations/Federations and
C-O-Cs. The campaign should be intensified in the coming
days.
2. Each
affiliated organization of Confederation should issue separate
circulars to their lower units instructing them to participate in the
two days strike and also to orgaise intensive campaign programmes for ensuring
100% participation of employees of each affiliate in the strike. It
is noticed that, during previous strikes, some of the affiliates had not issued
any separate circulars and no specific instructions to participate in the
strike was given to their lower units. This has created problem for
other organisations also at the lower level. This time every affiliate should
issue their own circulars to lower units.
3. All
State/District level C-O-Cs should convene their managing body meetings
immediately and work out detailed plan for intensive campaign among the
employees under their jurisdiction. C-O-Cs should play an effective
and leading role in making the strike a grand success.
4. All
affiliated organisations should plan and announce their own separate campaign
tour programme of their leaders for organising strike at all centres and all
offices. This is most important. Unless the leaders of
affiliates make their own campaign tour programmes, the strike cannot be
organised in an effective manner in all units.
5. Confederation
National Secretariat Members will be visiting only selected important centres
in each state for campaign meetings. The tour programme of National
Secretariat members will be published shortly. Programme may be finalised
by mutual consultation of C-O-C leaders and National Secretariat members
concerned. (Campaign by each affiliate and C-O-C is given top most
priority as the National Secretariat members are attending limited meetings
only.)
6. Strike
notice should be served by each affiliate seperately to their departmental head
on 12-12-2018 (6th
anniversary day of 12-12-2012 one day strike). Confederation Central
headquarters will serve strike notice to Cabinet Secretary on
12-12-2018. Copy of the strike notice should be served to all
lower authorities also organising mass demonstrations of maximum
employees. Complaints are received that some of the affiliates never serve
separate strike notice to their Departmental head and also never circulate the
copy of the strike notice served to lower units. As a result, when
C-O-C leaders approach, their lower unit leaders say that they have not
received any instructions from their Central headquarters to participate in the
strike. This
time Central Headquarters of all affiliated organisations should serve strike
notice to their departmental heads and should also issue instructions to their
lower units to participate in the strike. Affiliation of those
organisations which are not serving strike notice or issuing instruction to
their lower units to participate in the two days strike will be withdrawn, as
their is no meaning in continuing the affiliation of those organisations which
do not implement the decision of the National Secretariat of Confederation.
7. If
due to unavoidable circumstances, any organistion cannot serve the strike
notice on 12-12-2018, they may serve the strike notice on any other day before
23-12-2018.
8. Even
though all the leaders of Confederation and its affiliates are well aware of
the full details of each demand raised in the 10 point charter of demands
including NPS, it is decided to publish detailed note on each demands in the
Confederation website in coming days as campaign material and talking
points.
9. As
almost all Central Govt. employees and pensioners are agitated over the
unhelpful and negative attitude of the NDA Government, there is every
possibility of making the two days strike a thundering success, provided the
leadership of each affiliates and C-O-Cs rise upto the occasion and start
mobilisation now onwards with all seriousness.
Our
wages and other benefits are under attack.
Our
job security is under attack.
Our
social security is under attack.
Our
trade union rights are under attack.
Let
us intensify our struggles from defensive to offensive and defeat the
anti-worker policies of the Government. Central Govt. employees can
do it under the banner of Confederation. Make the two days strike historic
success. Remember, we are not alone, the entire working class of
India belonging to Banks, Insurance, BSNL and other public sectors, State Govt.
employees and Teachers etc. etc. are all on strike on 2019 January 8th &
9th. Don’t be a spectator, join the strike proudly and be a part of
the fighting working class of India. Our slogan is “change
the disastrous neo-liberal policies, or else we shall change the Government”.
OBSERVE 2018 DECEMBER 12
as “SCRAP NPS & RESTORE
OPS” DEMANDS
DAY
National
Secretariat of Confederation has decided to observe 12th December 2018 (strike
notice serving day) as Demands Day raising the demand - “Scrap NPS &
Restore OPS” throughout the country. All affiliates and C-O-Cs are
requested to observe the day in a befitting manner by conducting demonstrations
in front of all offices, organising gate meetings/general bodies and also
wearing badges with the slogan - “Scrap NPS & Restore OPS”. The
struggle against NPS is getting intensified day by day. Delhi State
Govt. has passed a resolution in the State Assembly demanding the Central Govt.
to scrap NPS imposed on Delhi State Govt. employees. State Govts. of
Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Tamilnadu has already appointed Expert Review
Committees to submit recommendations regarding modalities for scrapping of NPS
and restoring OPS. Tamilnadu State Government employees and Teachers
(all organisations) have decided to organise indefinite strike demanding
scraping of NPS and restoration of OPS. Confederation is in touch
with other organisations in Central Sector and is exploring the possibility of
organising higher form of trade union action including indefinite
strike. After the two days strike on January 8th & 9th, an
All India Convention of NPS employees along with other like-minded
organisations will be organised. Our ultimate aim is to organise an
indefinite strike, no sooner than later, exclusively on one demand ie; “scrap
NPS & Restore OPS”.
