D-11/23

Dated: I5th January, 2009.

The meeting of the National Executive of the Confederation was held at New Delhi today to review the preparation for an indefinite strike action scheduled to commence from 20th January, 2009. The meeting heard the Secretaries of the affiliated Associations/Federations and Unions as also the secretaries of the Co-ordination Committees. The Comrades who were deputed to attend the State level Conventions also made their observations at the meeting. Most of the Speakers expressed the need for further time to reach out the membership in far flung areas. The meeting came to the conclusion that more intensive mobilization and campaign programmes are needed to successfully carry out the strike action with full participation of the membership. It was therefore decided not to commence the strike action from 20th January, 2009 but defer the same to a future date and carry out an intensified campaign amongst the mass of the employees. All affiliates will advise their State leadership to visit all branches and hold meetings to explain the Charter of Demands, educate and mobilise their employees for the eventual strike action. Campaign material circulated by the Confederation (CHQ) (available at its website: confederationhq.blogspot.com) will be translated into vernacular and circulate amongst the members. The said campaign should be concluded by 15.02.2009. The National Executive will meet again in February to take further decision in the matter.

The representatives of the Confederation were to meet the Hon'ble Prime Minister today in a delegation with Com.Basudeb Acharya, MP to seek his intervention in bringing about a settlement of the Charter of Demands . This meeting could not take place due to the preoccupation of the Hon'ble Prime Minister. The meeting is likely to take place on 22nd January, 2009.

The copy of the letter addressed to the Cabinet Secretary to convey the decision of the National Executive is enclosed.

With greetings

Yours fraternally,

Conf/24/2009

Dated: 2nd January, 2009

Dear Comrade,

 

            With an impressive rally organized at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi, participated by thousands of comrades who came from various States, mostly from Delhi, the Confederation today served the strike notice on the Government demanding the settlement of the 20 point charter.  The strike will commence from 20th January, 2009. The affiliates of the Confederation have also served the strike notice on their respective Heads of Departments.  Many comrades could not take part in the rally due to the late running of the trains on account of the inclement weather.  On behalf of the Sectt. we convey our sincere thanks, appreciation and gratitude to all comrades who participated in the rally and especially to those who took the trouble to travel thousands of miles to be part of this momentous Programme.  We place hereunder a copy of the Press Statement issued after the rally along with the copy of the Strike Notice.

 

            The State COCs will be organizing such rallies in all State Capitals on 5th/6th January, 2009.  Make it magnificent by ensuring the largest mobilization and participation of members and serve the copy of the strike notice on all heads of offices.  The CHQ may be supplied with a copy of the list of organizations which served the strike notices by all the State COCs through e mail.

 

            Intensive campaign is to be mounted in the coming days to force upon the unwilling Government to negotiate and settle the demands.  The campaign material already sent to you may be got translated into vernacular.  Kindly ensure that it reaches every member to make him/her realize the gravity of injustice and the intensity of discrimination indulged in by the top echelons of bureaucracy while implementing the recommendations of the 6th CPC.

 

            Let us march together, shoulder to shoulder, with determination, courage and sincerity for we know success is the product of struggles and strike is the weapon of the working class.

 

            With greetings,

 

Yours fraternally,

 

K.K.N. Kutty
