“ORGANISE”
“Organise
if you want real living wages,
Organise if you want to have your working
hours reduced,
Organise if you desire better treatment from
you superior officers,
Organise if you want that the authorities
should consult and consider your
opinion in all administrative
measures affecting you”.
- Babu Tarapada Mukherjee, 1921 Lahore Speech
“We
must therefore, determine to have our pay increased and working hours reduced.
We must fight and fight and fight strenuously to secure what alone can make
life worth living. We must make up our minds whether we shall continue to live
as human cattle or “take up arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing, end
them”.
- Babu Tarapa Mukherjee, 1921 Lahore Speech
JAWAHARLAL NEHRU ON 1946 P&T STRIKE
“We
have a very big gap between the cost of living and wages, and it is that gap
which causes hunger and distress and ultimately strike. The point is that all
over India there is that gap today and unless that gap is bridged, there will
be industrial troubles. These can be bridged either by lowering the prices or
by raising the wages. I see today vast fortunes accumulated in the hands of a
few. On the other hand, the vast number of people are being faced with a heavy
burden of prices. How are we to meet this question of strike? It is not possible
or desirable to use the powers of the state (Govt.) against the strike”.
(Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru
-Address to the Associated chamber of India in Kolkata on 12-12-1946).
“UNITY FOR STRUGGLE & STRUGGLE FOR UNITY”
K.G. BOSE
“When
the living conditions of the employees have been made critical by the
accentuating economic crisis and the Govt’s persistent efforts to make the
employees bear the burden of such crisis, when the discontentment among the
employees are generating due to Govt’s refusal to come to the succor of the
employees in such a critical living condition and when this discontentment is
on the point of bursting out on surface particularly centering around the issue
of Pay Commission - a great urge for unity among the employees and workers is being
increasingly found manifest. The urge being found expression whenever call for united
mass actions have been initiated in recent times to defend the living
conditions and democratic rights of the workers and employees. Struggle for
building up unity at the grass roots level, which can alone can ensure success
at our struggles for higher wages for better living conditions and for
democratic rights, is the key-task today”.

PRESS
STATEMENT
About a million Central Government employees
will take part in the one day token strike tomorrow, the 12th December, 2012. The
employees organisations in the Postal, Income-tax, Audit and Accounts, Printing
and Stationery, Geological Survey of India, Survey of India, Customs, Central
Excise, Indian Bureau of Mines, CGHS, Ground Water Board, Central
Water Commission, Central Public Works, Census, Atomic Energy Commission,
Defence Accounts, Indian Space Research Organisation, Andaman Nicobar and
Pondicherry Administration, Medical Stores depot and many other Public Utility
Departments of the Government of India have confirmed their participation in the
strike action. The strike is organised by the apex level
Confederation of Central Govt. employees and workers, New Delhi on the basis of
the strike notice served on 19.11.2012 for a settlement of the 15 Point charter
of demands (copy enclosed)
The Central Government employees throughout the
country are agitated over the Government's fresh move to enact the PFRDA Bill in
this session of the Parliament. It is surprising that even after
the uncontested findings of the Committee set up by the Government that the new
Contributory Pension Scheme will only increase financial outflow for the
Government and the beneficiaries also stand to lose heavily on account of it,
the Government has chosen to go ahead with the New Scheme. The
recent decision of the Government to allow FDI in pension sector will only
further help the transnational corporation to access to the hard earned savings
of the Indian Common people to maximise their profit.
Apart from scrapping the New Pension scheme, the
employees are demanding the setting up of the 7th Central Pay Commission for wage
revision, reintroduction of the Universal Public Distribution system stoppage of
outsourcing of Governmental functions, contractorisation, privatisation etc.
regularisation of Grameen Dak Sewaks, contingent, casual and daily rated
workers, lifting the ban on creation of posts, filling up the vacant posts
revival of the negotiating forum, JCM etc.
Due to the breakdown of the negotiating
machinery, there had been no dialogue between the Government and the employees
for the past several years. The employees are extremely critical
of the attitude of the Government using the sovereignty of the
Parliament to reject the award given in favour of the workers by the Board of
Arbitration which is not only contrary to the terms of arbitration but unethical
too. The continuing vindictive attitude of the C& AG
administration against the employees and union functionaries for normal and
peaceful trade union activities is highly deplorable.
If the
Government refuses to take note of the resentment and initiate steps to bring
about settlement, the agitation is bound to escalate in the form of indefinite
strike action encompassing even other section of the employees.
K.K.N. Kutty
Secretary General.
To the Chief Reporters/Editors for favour of
publication in your esteemed New paper.
