Com. S. K. Vyasji, the legendary leader of the Central Govt. Employees and Pensioners passed away on 13th February, 2015.
Com.

2006. He was the President and Secretary General of All India Audit
& Accounts Association for a long time. He continued as the Advisor
of the Confederation and also as the Secretary General of National
Co-ordination Committee of Pensioners Association (NCCPA) and Bharat
Central Pensioners Confederation (BCPC) till death.
Com.Vyasji has led various struggles and strike actions of the
Central Govt. Employees and was in the forefront of the leadership which
organised the first indefinite strike action of the Central Govt.
employees after independence, in the year 1960. Com. Vyas was jailed and
dismissed from service. He played an important role in rallying the
Central Govt. employees along with the striking Railway employees in the
year 1974. He was an able and uncompromising negotiator with the
Government in the JCM National Council and Standing Committee. He was
responsible for many of the benefits and allowances enjoyed by the
Central Govt. employees. The cost indexation of wages was earned by the
Govt. employees through the sustained struggles and efforts in 1960s
under his leadership. Confederation of Central Govt. employees and
workers representing about 15 lakhs Central Govt. employees is in the
forefront of the incessant struggle and strike actions organised by
Indian Working Class against the neo-liberal economic policies of the
Government. Com. S. K. Vyasji’s vision and ideological clarity has made
the Confederation, part and parcel of the mainstream of the working
class movement in India.
Com.
Vyasji was a friend, philosopher, guide and everything for the Central
Govt. Employees movement. In the more than six decades long trade union
life, Com.Vyasji endeared himself to every section of the Central Govt.
Employees. His death has caused irreparable and irreplaceable loss to
all of us. He was a great leader, symbol of simplicity, a gem of a
person and a leader who is down to earth, extremely polite, kind hearted
and compassionate; one of the finest human being, tallest leader, a
gentle mentor and a legend.
He
is in our hearts! His memories will be forever with us! His long saga
of struggle and sacrifice for the Central Govt. employees and
pensioners will inspire the generations to come.
The National Secretariat of Confederation of Central Govt.
Employees & Workers calls upon all affiliated organisations and
