POINT CHARTER OF DEMANDS OF CONFEDERATION
Please see Circular dated 09-08-2917.
Add the following:
Item
(6) - (a) No
Downsizing, Privatisation, Outsourcing and contractorisation of Government
functions (b) Stop the proposed move to close down Govt. of India Presses.
Item
(8) - (a) Withdraw
the draconian FR 56(J) and Rule 48 of CCS (Pension) Rules 1972 which is being
misused as a short-cut as purity measure to punish and victimise the employees.
(b) Withdraw
all trade union victimisation and attack on trade union facilities.
Conventions, General Body Meetings, gate meetings etc. may be held in
all offices/departments/state and intensive campaign and mobilisation work may
be organised to make the above programmes a grand success. Notices
and leaflets may be printed and circulated. Publicity may be given
through local media and maximum use of social media may also be made.
Comrades, to defeat the anti-worker and anti-people policies of the NDA
Government, maximum unity of the working class is the need of the
hour. Only through a united struggle of the entire working class of
the country these policies can be halted. Confederation being an
organisation which is in the forefront of all struggles against the neo-liberal
policies and also being the one and the only organisation which is continuously
fighting for the demands of the entire Central Govt. employees and pensioners,
has an added responsibility to make the struggle of the entire working class a
grand success. An alternative policy is possible and only the
working class can lead the struggle for an alternative policy and save the
workers and also the common people of our country. Let us be proud
to be part of such a patriotic struggle.
2. Towards
50th Anniversary of 1968 September 19th historic one day strike of Central
Government Employees:
2018 September 19th (next year) is the 50th anniversary of 1968
September 19th strike. Before independence and after independence,
the Central Government employees had conducted many strikes. But 1968
September 19th strike is written in red letters in the history of Indian
Working Class. It is because that the strike had raised the demand for
a scientific wage revision based on the Need Based Minimum Wage formula
approved by the 15th Indian Labour Conference held in 1957. Central
Govt. employees fought for the demand of entire working class of India ie. Need
Based Minimum Wage. The ruling class of India understood that if the
demand of the Central Govt. employees is accepted, all other section of the
working class including those in private sector shall go on struggle for
implementation of Need Based Minimum Wage to them also and ultimately it will
result in changing their pro-capitalist economic policy itself, which they
never want to change. The ruling class let loose all destructive
forces and repressive measures at their command to crush the strike.
The Cental Government employees had to pay a heavy price -seventeen
(17) comrades had been brutally murdered by the ruling class. In
addition 40000 suspensions, 64000 termination notices, arrets, imprisionment,
chargesheets , heavy punishments, transfers etc. Even today, the Central
Government employees and other sections of the working class are on struggle
path demanding Need Based Minimum Wage.
To
make the begining of the 50th anniversary of the historic strike, this
year’s Martyrs day on 19-09-2017 should be organised in a
befitting manner at all places by hoisting flags, paying homage to martyrs etc.
Before the 50th anniversary day on 2018 september 19th, seminars, honouring of
those who are victiimseld in the 1968 september 19th strike etc may be
organised at all important centres. The details of other programmes to be
organised in connection with the 50th anniversary will be decided in
the next National Secretariat meeting of the confederation to be held at Mumbai
on 10-01-2018.
