Email id-smohan1958@gmail.com
Dear
Comrade,
Sub: An Appeal for participation in the agitational programmes of
confederation for realisation of 20 point charter of demands.
As yoy are aware, the general attitude of the
Central Government towards the demands of the Central Government employees, especially demands related to 7th
Central pay Commission, is totally negative.
Even the assurance given by three group of Ministers in the wake of an
impending indefinite strike from July 11th 2016, that the minimum pay and
fitment formula will be revised, is not yet implemented, eventhough the promised time frame of four months are almost
over. All the revised allowances
including HRA and Transport Allowance is not paid yet. The one and the only favourable
recommendation of 7th CPC ie; option -I party for pensioners is not accepted on
the plea of '' non-feasibility''. All
anomalies are pending. Government is
deliberately dealying and denying the
legitimate benefits of the Central Government employees which is due from 01-01-2016. You may agree that the position is equally
applicable to Gazetted officers also.
In the above circumstances/the
National Secretariat of /confederation of Central Government employees and
workers has decided to organise phased
agitational programes culminating in strike action. Demonistrations are conducted in front of all
offices on 20-10-2016, next phase is mass dharna at all important centres on
7th November 2016, Third phase is massive Parliament March on 15th December
2016.
I request you to consider the above
stituation and also the programmes of action of Confederation and to call upon
your affiliates to participate in the Parliament March on 15th December 2016
under the banner of CCGGOO, in good number
Awaiting favourable response,
Your’s
fralindly

No. Confdn/Genl/2016-19 Dated - 28-10-2016
An Appeal to Employees
& Organisations of Govt. of India Autonomous Bodies
To
All Organisations &
Employees of
Govt. of India Autonomous
Bodies.
Dear Friends and Comrades,
As you are aware, the
extension of benefits of revised pay structure as per CCS (RP) Rules 2016, to
employees working in autonomous bodies, is still pending. There is total uncertainty regarding grant of
7th CPC benefits. Bonus payment is also
pending. Everything depends upon the policy decision of the Government. The employees of autonomous bodies are
totally upset, frustrated and disappointed.
Discontentment of the employees are growing day by day. As the autonomous bodies are scattered all
over the country, a joint struggle by them alone is not an immediate
possibility.
It is in this background, the
Confederation of Central Govt. Employees & Workers has decided to include
the demand for wage revision of autonomous employees also in its charter of demands
and agitational programmes. Accordingly
mass demonstrations were conducted in front of all offices on 20-10-2016. The next phase of programme is mass dharna on
7th November 2016. Third phase is
massive Parliament March on 15th December 2016 at Jantar Mantar (Parliament
Street), New Delhi.
I request all the
organisations and employees of autonomous bodies to join the Confederation’s
agitational programme so that Government will understand your anger, protest
and discontentment. I appeal to you all,
to participate in the Parliament March on 15th December 2016, with your flags,
banners and placards. Let the message go
to the Government that the employees of autonomous bodies will not continue to
keep silent and may be forced to go for direct action, including strike if
situation warrants, for their legitimate demands.
Come one, Come all, Come in
hundreds and thousands.
Let us make the Parliament
March a historic success.
Govt. will not be allowed to
indefinitely delay or deny our rights.
Fraternally
Yours,
M.
Krishnan,
Secretary

CABINET APPROVES RELEASE
OF AN INSTALMENT OF DEARNESS ALLOWANCE TO CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES AND
DEARNESS RELIEF TO PENSIONERS DUE FROM 01.07.2016
The
Union Cabinet under the Chairmanship of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has
given its approval to release an instalment of Dearness Allowance (DA) to
Central Government employees and Dearness Relief (DR) to Pensioners w.e.f.
01.07.2016 representing an increase of 2% of the revised Basic Pay/Pension, to
compensate for price rise. The increase is in accordance with the accepted
formula, which is based on the recommendations of the 7th Central Pay
Commission.
The
combined impact on the exchequer on account of both Dearness Allowance and
Dearness Relief would be Rs. 5622.10 crore per annum and in the Financial Year
2016-17 for the period of 8 months (i.e. from July 2016 to February 2017), it
would be Rs.3748.06 crore. About 50.68 lakh Government employees and 54.24 lakh
pensioners will be benefitted.
PIB: 27.10.2016
DA DUE FROM 01-07-2016
In the JCM Standing Committee Meeting, the Staff Side
expressed their concern that DA due from 01.07.2016 is not yet announced by the
Government. We requested to JS (Pers) DOE to consider the representation of the
Staff Side with regard to the calculation of DA percentage. According to the DA
index Central Government Employees are eligible for 3% DA and not 2 percent. The
JS (Per) informed that the representation of the Staff Side is under
consideration and Government would take a decision very soon.

CIRCULAR
DATED 26TH OCTOBER 2016
REVISION OF MINIMUM PAY AND FITMENT FORMULA
2ND MEETING OF THE GROUP OF SENIOR OFFICERS
WITH JCM (NC) STAFF SIDE
DISAPPOINTING
2nd Meetings of the Group of
Senior Officers (Constituted as per the assurance given by Group of Minister to
NJCA) to discuss the grievances arising out of recommendations related to 7th
Central Pay Commission, was held with JCM (NC) staff side on 24.10.2016 at 4
PM. The staff side explained in detail the justification for modification in
the minimum pay and fitment formula, which was already explained in the memorandum
submitted to Cabinet Secretary on 10th December 2015 and also in the
presentation made before Joint Secretary Implementation Cell and Empowered
Committee of Secretaries headed by Cabinet Secretary.
From the response of the Senior
Officers, it is not clear whether they are mandated to submit a proposal on
increasing the Minimum Pay and Fitment formula to Government, as assured by the
Group of Ministers on 30th June 2016. Eventhough, the time frame of
four months is almost over, the urgency and seriousness was lacking on the part
of the Group of officers. It seems that that Government is adopting a delaying
tactics or to deny the assured increase. Perhaps, they may recommend an increase
in minimum pay and fitment formula at a later date, but it is quite uncertain.
Confederation National Secretariat
after reviewing these developments has decided to intensify the campaign and agitational
programmes demanding the Government to honour its assurance given to NJCA
leadership and also to settle the 20 point charter of demands. Make the 7th
November 2016 mass dharna programme a grand success. Ensure maximum participation of employees in the 15th
December 2016 massive Parliament March. Get ready for strike.

AUTONOMOUS
BODIES – EXTENSION OF 7TH CPC REVISED PAY STRUCTURE AND PENSIONARY
BENEFITS
The issue was raised in the JCM
Standing Committee meeting held on 25.10.2016 by the staff side. The official
side informed that an overall review regarding the performance and financial viability
etc. of each Autonomous body is being carried out by the Government. Only after
completing the process decision regarding extension of 7th CPC
revised pay structure and pensionary benefits, Bonus etc. will be taken.
Extension of the benefits depends upon the policy decision of the Government. Hence

Confederation has already included the
demands of the employees of the autonomous bodies in its 20 point charter of
demands. All Unions/Associations/Federation and employees of all autonomous
bodies are requested to understand the gravity of the situation and make the 7th
November 2016 mass dharna programme and 15th December 2016
