Department of Personnel & Training

North Block, New Delhi,
the 6th January, 2020.

Subject : All India Strike proposed on January 8, 2020 – Instructions under CCS (Conduct Rules), 1964 – Regarding.

It has been brought to the notice of the Government that the Central Trade Union (CTUs), except Bhartiya Mazdoor Sangh, and their affiliates in different sectors are mobilizing workers/employees for their proposed nationwide general strike on January 8, 2020. The strike is mainly to protest against Union Government’s labour reforms, FDI, disinvestment, corporation and privatization polices and to press for 12 — point common demands of the working class relating to minimum wage and social security, among others.

2. The instructions issued by the Department of Personnel and Training prohibit the Government servants from participating in any form of strike including mass casual leave, go slow etc. or any action that abet any form of strike/protest in violation of Rule 7 of the CCS (Conduct) Rules. 1964. Besides, in accordance with the proviso to Rule 17(1) of the Fundamental Rules, pay and allowances is not admissible to an employee for his absence from duty without any authority. As to the concomitant rights of an Association after it is formed, they cannot be different from the rights which can be claimed by the individual members of which the Association is composed. It follows that the right to form an Association does not include any guaranteed right to strike/protest. There is no statutory provision empowering the employees to go on strike. The Supreme Court has also agreed in several judgments that going on a strike is a grave misconduct under the Conduct Rules and that misconduct by the Government employees is required to be dealt with in accordance with law. Any employee going on strike in any form would face the consequences which, besides deduction of wages, may also include appropriate disciplinary action. Kind attention of all employees of this Department is also drawn to this Department’s O.M. No.33012/1/(s)/2008-Estt.(B) dated 12.9.2008, on the subject for strict compliance (enclosed as Annexure-A).

3. All officers are requested that the above instructions may be brought to the notice of the employees working under their control. All officers are also requested not to sanction Casual Leave or any other kind of leave to the officers and employees, if applied for, during the period of proposed strike, and ensure that the willing employees are allowed hindrance free entry into the office premises.

4. In case employees go on strike all Divisional Heads are requested to forward a report indicating the number and details of employees, who are absent from duty on the day of strike, i.e., 08.01.2020.

General Strike on 8 January 2020 Stands: Central Trade Unions

The Central Trade Unions conveyed their firm resolve after the meeting called by Union Labour Minister.

The Central Trade Unions were invited by the Labour Minister for a discussion on 2nd January 2020 at New Delhi.

In the meeting, Labour Minister in his initial comments stated that the Govt. of India has been taking all steps for the welfare of the workers and legislations on Labour Codes are a part of that.

The constituents of united platform of trade unions viz., AITUC, HMS, CITU, AIUTUC, SEWA, AICCTU, LPF and UTUC who were present in the meeting strongly contradicted and protested the statement of the Minister and stated that the entire Labour Codes are a design of imposing slavery on the workers and it is not acceptable to the trade union movement of the country and they will not surrender.

The United platform of Trade Unions strongly raised the issues of ignoring of INTUC and strongly condemn the Government political move to create selective rivalry within the Trade Unions.

The issues of Auto Sector particularly Honda Employer offensive in Gurgaon, illegal unfair practices like suspension of leadership of recognised trade union and not allowing thousands of contract workers on jobs since two months were also raised before the Minister.

None of the issues which have been continuously raised by the Central Trade Unions, including the basic issues of unemployment, minimum wages, social security and fourteen point charter of demands were addressed by the Minister. Doing away with all democratic practices, the government has not called the tripartite Indian Labour Conference after 2015. The unions further stated that against such anti labour policies of the Govt., along with other issues, the central trade unions have decided to go in for a countrywide General Strike on 8th January 2020 and the strike stands. The strike is going to take place in a massive way throughout the country with the active support of various sections of working class including the students, unemployed youth, peasantry and patriotic masses of the country.

The central trade unions further warned that the govt. must take the message and mend their ways and change the anti labour anti people anti national moves and policies.
