Continuing the process of dialogue which had started from 14 August 2019, the fourth meeting was held yesterday with the office bearers of AIDEF, INDWF, BPMS and CDRA under the Chairmanship of Secretary, DDP. While reaffirming that the proposed corporatisation of OFB is under examination of the Government, Secretary, DDP patiently listened to the concerns expressed by the Employees Federations regarding how the benefits/interests of employees in terms of wages, health facilities and other service matters may be affected due to corporatisation of OFB.

The Employees Federations inter-alia suggested that their views should be considered while preparing the roadmap for increasing the turnover of the proposed entity from the current levels. After detailed deliberations, it was agreed to recommend to the Government, the setting up of a High Level Official Committee to interact with Employees Federations to examine their concerns and other aspects of the proposed new entity.

The Federations on their part have agreed to withdraw the ongoing strike and continue with the process of dialogue. With this, employees will now be resuming their duties with effect from Monday, 26th August, 2019.

Sir,

Sub: Workers agitation against corporatization of ordnance factories kind intervention requested.

At the outset, I request that I may be excused for encroaching upon your valuable time through this letter.

In the wake of Government’s decision for corporatization of ordnance factories under Department of Defence Production, the employees of ordnance factories in the country are extremely agitated as they fear that their career and future will be doomed. Almost all employees of ordnance factories are on “Strike”, in order to ventilate their agony with fond hope that the Government would review and withdraw its decision corporatization of ordnance factories.

I trust, you would kindly appreciate that the present situation needs to be handled with maturity combined with positive approach by the Government for finding solution. The Defence Civilian workforce committed to give output qualitatively and quantitatively for meeting the requirement of Nation. Therefore, their appeal for withdrawal of corporatization decision deserves to be considered so as to preserve healthy industrial relations.

May I therefore request you to kindly intervene for resolving the issue under your able leadership which would facilitate the workforce to work with greater accountability and make the ordnance factories highly efficient. You may kindly consider, calling the leaders of Defence Employees Federations and listen their plea for finding an amicable solution in the overall interests of Nation and employees.

With pranams,

Yours sincerely,

(Dr. M. Raghavaiah)

PLB for the Financial Year 2018-19 to Railwaymen – AIRF to Rly Board

Productivity Linked Bonus for the Financial Year 2018-19 to Railwaymen – AIRF to Rly Board

No.AIRF/387 Dated: August 19, 2019

The Chairman,
Railway Board,
New Delhi

Dear Sir,

Sub: Productivity Linked Bonus for the Financial Year 2018-19 to Railwaymen

You may recall that, Productivity Linked Bonus has been an outcome of bilateral agreement arrived at between Ministry of Railways(Railway Board) and Staff Side (Federations) on 22.11.1979. The formula for calculation of PLB, that was formulated as a result of aforementioned agreement, is sacrosanct, on the basis of which payment of Productivity Linked Bonus is being made to all eligible Railway employees every year till last financial year.

It is worthwhile to mention here that, the Indian Railways are running around 22,000 pairs of trains per day, carrying more than two-and-a-half crore passengers and a substantially high volume of freight traffic. This is only possible with the dedicated and sincere services rendered by the Railway employees, the number of whom has drastically reduced over the years despite tremendous increase in the workload with addition of new trains, new railway lines, stations and other installations during this period. It is only because of their dedication and sincere efforts that, the wheel of the Indian Railways are moving in a hassle-free manner in all weathers, and even under arduous conditions round-the-clock, which is ultimately a tool of progress of our country. It is also a well-established fact that, the Railwaymen, to the tune of 400-600, sacrifice their lives while performing their duties every year, and this figure is even higher than the number of Armed Force Personnel.

It is worth-mentioning here that, the Railwaymen, putting their all efforts, have increased Net Tonne Kilometres and broken the record of carrying Freight as well as Passengers.

It would, therefore, be in all appropriateness, that the number of days, calculated for PLB, should be enhanced this year.

Yours faithfully,

(Shiva Gopal Mishra)
