The General Secretaries,
All Affiliated Unions,
Dear Comrades,
Sub: Brief of the meeting held today, i.e. on 3rd September, 2018, with Hon’ble Minister for Railways and subsequently with Hon’ble Home Minister on burning issues/demands of the Railwaymen
—————–
I met today with Hon’ble Minister for Railways and handed him over a copy of our letter No.AIRF/24(C) dated 1st September, 2018, containing copies of our earlier letters dated 21st September, 2017, 14th October, 2017, 28th December, 2017, 14th March, 2018 and 30th July, 2018, which we written to him on various important demands of the Railwaymen.
The meeting was held in a very cordial atmosphere.
Hon’ble Minster for Railways, though, was very sympathetic to some of the demands, but at the same time, he mentioned that, operating ratio of the Indian Railways is decreasing and financial condition of the Railways is also deteriorating day-by-day.
I told him in a very clear way that, Railwaymen are not responsible for the economic problems of the Railways, because they are running trains 24X7 in all weathers and seasons, even by sacrificing their valuable lives, and not fulfilling the demands of the Railwaymen will not be able to satisfy them and prevailing dissatisfaction and discontentment can lead to breach of industrial peace which needs to be avoided.
I also met today with Hon’ble Home Minister, Shri Rajnath Singh Ji also and reminded him about the major pending demands of the Central Government Employees, particularly restoration of Old Pension Scheme, improvement in Minimum Wage and Fitment Formula.
He said that, he would talk to Hon’ble Finance Minister, and after that, would call a meeting with Hon’ble Finance Minister.
This is for your information.
Yours faithfully
