NFIR requests for payment of Nov 2016 Salary by cash for Railway Employees

NFIR
National Federation of Indian Railwaymen

No.I/3/Part I

Dated : 16/11/2016

The Member Staff,
Railway Board
New Delhi

Dear Sir,

Sub: Invalidation of currency notes of Rs.500 and 1000 denomination- hardship being faced by Railway employees-reg.

*************

Consequent upon the invalidation of Rs.500 and 1000 denomination currency notes, the Government have clamped several restrictions for drawal of money from the accounts of Account Holders. Restriction has also been imposed. limiting withdrawal to Rs.2500/- only per day through ATM.

The Railway Board is aware that vast percentage of Rail Workforce resides and performs duties at remote places, jungle areas, away from towns and villages. In these areas the Ranks/ATMs are not available at nearby work places. Where the Banks are located, the withdrawal of money by the Account Holder is restricted to Rs. 24 thousand per week. The nature duties of Railway Employees is such that they cannot afford to visit Banks/ATMs regularly and wait for hours together in the long queue for the purpose of drawing cash on daily basis.

The Railway employees in general anxiously wait for their monthly salaries for the purpose of purchasing commodities for daily needs and for paying house rent, eelectricitybills etc. As the salaries are credited to the Bank Accounts of the Railway employees and restrictions have been clamped on drawal of their salaried money, the Railway eemployees will be put to untold hardships. They are already facing severe hardship in exchanging currency notes as well drawing their own money from their Bank Accounts due to restrictions.

In order to overcome above hardships, NFIR requests the Railway Board (MS) to arrange to take immediate action for ensuring payment of salaries of November 2016 (to be paid on 30/11/2016) and arrears of DA in cash to each Railway employee as a special case instead of crediting to their Bank Accounts.

Yours faithfully

(Dr. M. Raghavaiah)

Confederation request all the employees of autonomous bodies to join the Confederation’s agitational programme

CONFEDERATION OF CENTRAL GOVT. EMPLOYEES & WORKERS
1St Floor, North Avenue PO Building, New Delhi – 110001

No. Confdn/Genl/2016-19

Dated – 28-10-2016

AN APPEAL TO EMPLOYEES & ORGANISATIONS OF GOVT. OF INDIA AUTONOMOUS BODIES

To

All Organisations & Employees of
Govt. of India Autonomous Bodies.

Dear Friends and Comrades,

As you are aware, the extension of benefits of revised pay structure as per CCS (RP) Rules 2016, to employees working in autonomous bodies, is still pending. There is total uncertainty regarding grant of 7th CPC benefits. Bonus payment is also pending. Everything depends upon the policy decision of the Government. The employees of autonomous bodies are totally upset, frustrated and disappointed. Discontentment of the employees are growing day by day. As the autonomous bodies are scattered all over the country, a joint struggle by them alone is not an immediate possibility.

It is in this background, the Confederation of Central Govt. Employees & Workers has decided to include the demand for wage revision of autonomous employees also in its charter of demands and agitational programmes. Accordingly mass demonstrations on 20-10-2016 and mass dharna on 7th November 2016 was already conducted throughout the country. Third phase is massive Parliament March on 15th December 2016 at Jantar Mantar (Parliament Street), New Delhi.

I request all the organisations and employees of autonomous bodies to join the Confederation’s agitational programme so that Government will understand your anger, protest and discontentment. I appeal to you all, to participate in the Parliament March on 15th December 2016, with your flags, banners and placards. Let the message go to the Government that the employees of autonomous bodies will not continue to keep silent and may be forced to go for direct action, including strike if situation warrants, for their legitimate demands.

Come one, Come all, Come in hundreds and thousands.
Let us make the Parliament March a historic success.
Govt. should not be allowed to indefinitely delay or deny our rights.

Fraternally Yours,

M. Krishnan,
Secretary General, Confederation,
