Dear Comrades,
National
Secretariat meeting of the Confederation of Central Govt. Employees &
Workers held at New Delhi on 04-07-2019, after reviewing the entire scenario
prevailing in the Central Government Employees sector, has decided to organise
phased programme of action for settlement of the long pending demands of the Central Government Employees and
Pensioners. The “Big Bang” neo-liberal
reforms that are being unleashed by the BJP-led NDA Government has seriously
jeopardised the job security, wage security, social security and Trade Unon
rights of the Central Govt. employees and other sections of workers in general.
Our
efforts to organise joint programme of action of all Central Govt. employees
(including Railways and Defence) under the banner of NJCA has not yielded
positive response from the dominant leadership of the NJCA. All the Defence employees Federations have
joined together and given notice to Govt. for one month long definite strike
from 20-08-2019 to 19-09-2019 demanding withdrawal of the move to
corporatise/privatise Ordnance Factories.
Eventhough the major Railway Federations viz; AIRF & NFIR has not
yet given call for serious agitational programmes against the proposed move of
the Government to Corporatise/Privatise Railway Production Units (Coach
factories etc.), closure of Railway Printing Presses and introduction of private
passenger trains in selected routes through Public Private Partnership (PPP),
all other Unions/Associations like All India Loco-Running Staff Association
(AILRSA), Guard Council, Dakshin Railway Employees Union (DREU) etc. had
already given call for nationwide agitational programmes. All the Central Trade
Unions (except BMS) has also given call for joint protest demonstrations and
Rallies against the anti-worker labour law reforms and privatisation spree of
the Modi Government. Confederation of Central Govt. Employees and Workers,
being a part of the mainstream of the working class of our country, shall join
all the programmes announced by the Central Trade Unions. Further National Secretariat has decided to
extend full support and solidarity to the struggles of Railway, Defence, BSNL
employees and the agitational programmes conducted by the affiliates of
Confederation.
Confederation calls upon all the Affiliated organisations and
State/District level C-O-Cs to organise the above mentioned two phased agitational
programmes on 5th September 2019 and 15th October, 2019 and conduct campaign programmes among all Central Govt. employees
to educate them on the impending dangers of the neo-liberal reforms vigorously
pursued by the NDA Govt. and be ready to jumb into higher form of trade union
action, if situation warrants. Wide
publicity may be given through print, electronic and social media. Confederation’s
10 point charter of demands is enclosed to this circular. Next course of action will be decided by the
next National Secretariat meeting scheduled to be held in October/November
2019. Copy of the memorandum to be submitted to the Hon’ble Prime Minister
on 05-09-2019 will be published in the Confederation website. Copies of the same may be submitted to all
Head of Departments and Head of Offices at All India/State/District level by
the affiliated organisations and C-O-Cs.

2019 September 19th is the 51st
Anniversary day of historic 1968 September 19th one day All India Strike of
Central Govt. Employees demanding Need Based Minimum wage and 100%
Neutralisation of DA. Govt. has
unleashed brutal force of Military, CRPF and Police and as a result, 17
comrades lost their lives in Police firing, lathi charge etc. About 40000 employees were suspended and
dismissed. Thousands of leaders and
workers jailed. Thousands suffered due
to severe punishments and vindictive transfers.
Recognition of all Federations and Unions participated in the strike was
withdrawn and Govt. sponsored organisations were given recognition. Confederation National Secretariat calls upon
all Affiliated organisastions and C-O-Cs to observe 19th September 2019 as
“Martyrs Day” remembering those valiant fighters who laid down their life for
the posterity. Gate meetings, flag
hoisting, slogan shouting and honouring martyrs by erecting martyrs columns
etc. may be organised. Last year we have
celebrated the 50th anniversary of the 1968 September 19th strike, throughout
the country in a most befitting manner.
