EXTEND FULL SUPPORT AND
SOLIDARITY TO
DEFENCE EMPLOYEES ONE
MONTH LONG ALL INDIA STRIKE
FROM 20.08.2019 TO
19.09.2019.
Dear Comrades ,
As already
communicated in Confederation's circular dated 01.08.2019 (published in website
and also sent by post to all Affiliated Organizations , COCs and National
Secretariat Members), the National Secretariat of Confederation of
Central Govt Employees and Workers has decided to extend full support and
solidarity to the one month long All India Strike of all Defence Employees
Federations/Unions/Associations from 20.08.2019 to 19.09.2019. In addition we
have published in website in August 2019 itself, three important
documents relating to Defence Employees strike including propaganda materials
published by All India Defence Employees Federation (AIDEF). Unfortunately, it
has come to our notice that whatsApp messages are circulated from certain
quarters, as if nothing related to Defence Employees Strike is there in the
Confederation website.
As already mentioned in Confederation
circular dated 01.08.2019 and also in the three important documents published
in website, the main demand of the strike is "withdraw the
decision of the NDA Government to corporatize/privatize Ordnance Factories" The decision of the Govt to
corporatize/privatize Ordnance Factories will adversely affect the job security
of about 40000 defence employees working in these factories, as happened in
BSNL after Telecom Corporatization. Further it is against the interest of our
Nation also. Govt has also made it clear that in the 100 days action programme
of Communication Ministry, in addition to already formed Postal
Savings Bank Company (India Post Payments Bank) another company called Postal
Life Insurance (including Rural PLI ) will be formed in Postal Sector as
recommended by Task Force Committee Report. Closure orders of 12 Govt of India
Printing Presses issued by the previous NDA Govt is not yet withdrawn.
In Railways also privatization of Coach/ Engine production centres , closure of all Railway Printing Presses, running of two private (Rajadhani type) Passenger trains are included in the 100 days action programme. In the coming days more and more privatization and outsourcing/closure of Central Govt functions and Departments are going to take place as a part of "BIG BANG" reforms declared by Modi-2 Government. The Defence Employees Federations have taken a bold and historic decision to heroically fight back the Corporitization / privatization policy of the Central Government.

Confederation National Secretariat once
again calls upon all its Affiliates and State/District COCs to organize mass
demonstrations in front of all Defence Establishments and at all important
centres from 20.08.2019 onwards, extending full support and solidarity to the
striking Defence Employees. It is also requested to extend all help to make the
strike a thundering success by forming Strike Aid Committees, organizing
public meetings, protest rallies etc., jointly with Central Trade Unions and
other like - minded organizations .
Fraternally yours
