nation wide two days strike on
8th & 9th january 2019
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”.
