CONFEDERATION NATIONAL SECRETARIAT CALLS UPON ALL CENTRAL GOVERNMENT
EMPLOYEES
Observe 6th March 2017
as
BLACK DAY
v Against the betrayal of Central Government employees and pensioners by Group of Ministers of NDA Government.
v Demanding increase in minimum pay and fitment formula.
Dear comrades
We
know that all of you are in the midst of hectic preparation and campaign for
making the 16th March Strike action a great success. As has been explained in the article, which
we have placed on our website, the NDA Government, led by BJP has exhibited the
worst anti-employee attitude in the post independent era of our country. This Government has treated its own employees
as its worst enemy. The decision taken by the Union Cabinet on 29th
June, 2016 rejecting even the recommendations made by the high level committee
chaired by the Cabinet Secretary was unprecedented. Even the setting up of
various committees was nothing but an eye wash. Nothing will come out of
that. Even the NPS Committee on which
the young comrades had pinned some hope of at least getting a minimum guaranteed pension will
produce nothing. The discussions at the
JCM fora has been converted into mostly monologues i.e. the official side
simply listening and not reacting. The
Government, it appears, has made the Pension department to reject the one and
only recommendation of the 7th CPC which was considered to be
positive i.e. Option No.1 for pensioners on the specious ground that the same
is not feasible to be implemented. The allowances committee has dilly dallied
its deliberation and would now submit its report after the extended period of 6
months expires on 22.02.2017. Even if they make any positive recommendation,
which is seldom expected, the NDA Government would not act upon it. They have very successfully postponed the
payment of the revised allowanced for 15 months.
In the face of such terrible
onslaught, betrayal and chicanery, which no Government in the past has every
indulged in, it is surprising that some
of our friends who has a predominant role in the movement of the Central
Government employees has unfortunately chosen to wait and watch. It appears that they have chosen to wait
endlessly hurting the cause of the workers.
We have no hesitation to
affirmatively state the obvious that we have chosen the right path, the path of
struggles, which can only the choice of the working class against tyrannical
attitude of the employer, howsoever, powerful they may be. We must realize that
those who are in the saddle of power
today are not permanently posted there. We were witness to the abysmal downfall
of persons who were arrogant personified.
It appears that the reasonableness, righteousness and patience we had
exhibited have been taken as signs of cowardice. The undeniable fact is that
those who fight, only can win. We, therefore, appeal to you to carry on with
conviction and courage.
Eight months will be over on 6th
March, 2017, when the Group of Ministers held out the assurance of revisiting
the minimum wage and multiplication factor.
It is now crystal clear that that was an act of chicanery. No committee was set up and no discussions were held to seriously
consider the issue. We, therefore,
appeal to all of you to ensure that the day, i.e. 6th March, 2017 is observed as a day of betrayal and all
our members are requested to wear a Black badge with the following words inscribed
on it in bold letters and conduct demonstrations in front of all Central
Government offices.
HONOUR THE COMMITMENT
MADE ON
30th June & 6th JULY, 2016
REVISE THE MINIMUM
WAGE AND
MULTIPLICATION
FACTOR
6TH
March 2017 must be yet another occasion to mobilize our members to ensure their
participation in the 16th March, 2017 strike action and ultimately
win all the demands in the charter.
We fight to win and we shall
win.
With greetings,
Yours fraternally,

ANSWER
MINISTER OF STATE (IC) FOR LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT
(SHRI BANDARU DATTATREYA)
MINISTER OF STATE (IC) FOR LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT
(SHRI BANDARU DATTATREYA)
(a) to (e): A statement is laid on the table of the House.
STATEMENT
REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) TO (e) OF THE LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO.
48 FOR 06.02.2017 BY SHRI KUNWAR PUSHPENDRA SINGH CHANDEL AND PROF.RAVINDRA
VISHWANATH GAIKWAD REGARDING MINIMUM WAGES.
(a): The proposed amendments to the Minimum Wages Act, 1948,
inter-alia, includes applicability of minimum wages to all employments, changes
in the definition of “Appropriate Government”, fixation/review/revision of
minimum rates of wages by the State Government, introduction of National
Minimum Wage by the Central Government, enhancement of penalty, etc.
As a step towards a uniform wage structure, the concept of
National Floor Level Minimum Wage (NFLMW) was introduced by the Government in
1996 on a voluntary basis. It is revised from time to time taking into account
the increase in the Consumer Price Index Number. NFLMW has been revised to
Rs.160/- per day w. e. f 01.07.2015.
(b) & (c): Under the provisions of the Minimum Wages Act,
1948, both Central and State Governments are appropriate Governments to fix,
review and revise the minimum wages of the workers employed in the scheduled
employment under their respective jurisdictions. As regards minimum wages in
States, there is disparity due to variations in socio-economic and
agro-climatic conditions, income, prices of essential commodities, paying
capacity, productivity and local conditions. As per the available information,
a statement showing the range of rates of minimum wages in all the States/Union
Territories is at Annexure.
The Act does
not discriminate on the basis of gender and the female workers are entitled to
same wages and other facilities as fixed by the Central Government for the
workers engaged in the scheduled employments. No separate wages are fixed for
urban and rural areas.
(d) & (e): The implementation of the Act is carried out by
the Centre as well as the States in respect of their respective jurisdiction.
In the Central Sphere, the enforcement is secured through the Inspecting
Officers of the Chief Labour Commissioner (Central) commonly designated as
Central Industrial Relations Machinery (CIRM), the compliance in the State
sphere is ensured through the State Enforcement Machinery. They conduct regular
inspections and in the event of detection of any case of non-payment or
under-payment of minimum wages, they advise the employers to make payment of
the shortfall of wages. In case of non-compliance, penal provisions against the
defaulting employers are invoked.
