No. NC/JCM/2015
Dated: January 11, 2015
The Cabinet Secretary,
Government of India,
Cabinet Secretariat,
Rashtrpati Bhawan Annexe,
New Delhi
Dear Sir,
I solicit your
kind attention to my letter in No.NC/JCM/2014 dated 16 th December,
2014, wherein we had conveyed the decisions taken at the National
Convention of representatives of the organisations participating in the
JCM. We are distressed that you have chosen not to respond to our letter
till date. We have so far not received any communication from any
quarter of the convening of the National Council of the JCM. No effort
has also been taken by any Ministry to convene the Departmental
Councils.
We have now
been given to understand that the Government has taken serious steps to
set up a corporation to carry on the functions of the 41 ordnance
Factories, presently functioning under the Ministry of Defence. We have
also noted that the report of the Committee set up by the Government to
corporatize the functions of the Postal Department. The inordinate delay
in settling the demands for Interim Relief and Merger of DA is causing
distress amongst the Central Government employees. The Railwaymen are
particularly agitated over the decision of the Government to induct FDI
to the extent of 100% in Railways, which we are aware cannot be done
without privatisation of the Railways. The declaration of the
Convention, which we had forwarded to you vide our letter cited had
amply explained the anguish of the Central Government employees.
In order to
register our opposition to the recent decision of the Government to
corporatize the functions of the Ordnance factories, we have amended
Item No.2 of the charter of demands. We send herewith the revised
charter of demands.
The National
JCA met today and took note of the silence on the part of the Government
to our pleadings. The meeting has, therefore, decided to go ahead with
the agitational programmes, the first phase of which will culminate in a
massive March to Parliament by Central Government employees on 28th
April, 2015. If no settlement is brought about on the 10 point charter
of demands, we will be constrained to go for an indefinite strike
action, the date of commencement of which will be decided on 28 th
April, 2015.
Thanking you,
Comradely yours,
sd/-
