General Strike on 2nd September 2016 – Central Trade Unions
Central Trade Unions reiterate countrywide General Strike on 2nd September 2016 – Press Statement
Released in the Press Conference of CTUOs held on 31st August 2016 at Press Club, New Delhi
Press Communique
31st August 2016
Central Trade Unions Reiterate countrywide General Strike on 2nd Sept, 2016 Group of Ministers (GOM) Announcement an eyewash
The Central Trade Unions reiterate the call for countrywide general strike on 2nd September 2016 against the anti-worker and anti-people policies of the Govt. in view of utterly unresponsive and undemocratic attitude of the Govt. The CTUs view the announcements made by Committee of Ministers as an eyewash and decide to go ahead with the Strike. Meagre raise in minimum wage to Rs.9100/- per month in central sphere is not binding on the States.
The CTUOs expressed dismay over utterly negative attitude of the Govt. towards basic demands of the workers on minimum wages as per consensus formulation of the Indian Labour Conference, on universal social security including pension for all workers including those in unorganised sector, against mass scale contractorisation of permanent and perennial work, against onslaught on basic rights of the workers through so called labour-law-reforms through various state governments and also by the centre in the background of large scale violation of labour laws being promoted by both the central govt and also many state govts, desperate move for privatisation/disinvestment of strategic and sensitive public sector units, and promoting limitless FDI in sensitive sectors like Defence, Railways, Banks, Insurance, Retail and Pharmaceuticals etc. which is also against the interest of the national economy.
The CTUOs made it clear that the desperate bid of the Govt for changing the labour laws both through central and many state govts is basically designed to throw even the overwhelming majority of the organised sector workers out of the coverage and purview of all basic labour laws which would render all other rights and benefits of the working people virtually meaningless.
The CTUOs also noted with dismay that the Govt while making public statement on being positive on the demands of the workers, has actually been actively pushing through executive measures, one after another, just in the opposite direction, against the interest of the working people in the grab of ensuring so called “else of doing business”. All these proactive initiatives militate against the basic interests and rights of the working people. Even the non-striking Central Trade Union also officially recorded its opposition.
The CTUOs expressed satisfaction over the increasing response by the workers throughout the country to the call for united action. The strike is going to be complete in industrial sectors such as transport, financial, power, coal, textile, automobile, port and dock, steel, oil, defence production, scheme, education etc. sectors and Central and State Govts. employees. In some states it is going to be bandh like situation.
It is unfortunate that during the past one year, the Group of Ministers appointed for discussion with the CTUOs on 12 point charter has not convened even a single meeting but has been only talking to BMS which has not joined the strike call. The CTUOs denounce such undemocratic bias of the Govt.
The CTUOs condemn the move of the central govt to divide the workers in the face of ongoing strike campaign and create confusion through making misleading statements on its so called positive attitude on workers’ demands both directly and through their various agencies and allies.
While expressing confidence that such dubious action to divide the workers will not succeed, the CTUOs appeal to the working people of the country irrespective of affiliations to further widen their unity and unitedly combat the anti-worker, anti-people policies of the Govt through making the call for countrywide general strike on 2nd September 2016 a total success.

Office Memorandum
Subject: Monitoring/handling of Pensioners’ Grievances & uploading of quarterly lists of retiring employees by Pr. CCAs/CCAs/CAs/ AGs/Administrators of UTs/Delhi Admin and respective PAOs through ‘Web Responsive Pensioners Service’ of CPAO
1. Quick & satisfactory disposal of pensioners’ grievances has been on top priority of CPAO. For this purpose, a Grievance Cell is already functioning in CPAO and grievances received through different modes are settled by it. So far, grievances not pertaining to CPAO directly but involving other agencies for final disposal were being forwarded to the concerned agency i.e. Bank, PAO for necessary action through email/letter. However, no tracking/monitoring of disposal of such grievances was available either with the Ministries or with CPAO.
2. In order to fill this gap, CPAO has developed Grievance Redressal and Monitoring System in its website www.cpao.nic.in under the ’Web Responsive Pensioners Service’. Through this facility, pensioners’ grievances can be transferred online on the login of the concerned PAO from the CPAO website for early disposal and update thereon for pensioner’s information. For the grievances which need to be resolved by concerned HOO/DDO; PAO has been given facility to mark such grievances to the concerned DDOs for their response. Here, it may be noted that marking of grievances to the DDOs is only for reporting/tracking purpose. After marking the grievances through system, FAQ will require to send the same to the concerned 0005 through available modes i.e. letters/emails as DDOs are not connected through this system. Similarly, response from the 0005 taken through same modes will be updated by FAQs in the system through their login IDs. For the time bound disposal of grievances (within 30 days from the date of receipt at CPAO), monitoring is required. Therefore, facility of monitoring of disposal of grievances marked to PAOs has been provided in the CPAO website under the existing CCAs logins along with Dashboards and meaningful MIS reports.
3. It is further pertinent to mention that large numbers of grievances pertain to delay in start of pension for which late submission of pension papers from HOO to PAD is mainly responsible. For monitoring the timely submission of pension papers, facility to upload quarterly lists of the employees retiring in next 12/15 months has been provided to FAQ in CPAO website to facilitate the implementation of Rule 56 of CCS (Pension) Rules which provides ”that every Head of Department shall have a list prepared every three months each year, of all Government servant who are due to retire within the next twelve/ fifteen months and a copy of each such list shall be supplied to the Accounts Ofiicer concerned” . Under this facility, Pay and Accounts Officers will upload such quarterly lists on CPAO website by using their existing logins after collecting the same from concerned HOOs/DDOs. Facility to monitor timely uploading of quarterly lists and submission of pension papers thereof by the HOOs/DDOs is also provided in the logins of CCA along with Dashboard and required MIS reports.
4. In view of above, all the Pr. CCAs/CCAs/CAs/ AGs/Administrators of UTs/Delhi Admin are requested to use this online monitoring facility on regular basis and keep track of the disposal of grievances to ensure that all grievances received from CPAO are settled on priority and maximum within 30 days and status is updated on CPAO website by their FAQs. The period wise pendency information is available on their dashboards. It is also requested to ensure timely uploading of lists of retiring employees and submission of pension papers arising out of such lists. You are also requested to instruct your PAOs to use these online CPAO facilities as they are the nodal points for CPAO in respect of disposal of grievances and uploading of quarterly lists.
5. For familiarization with this facility, step by step user guidance along with relevant screenshots (for CCAs and FAQs) is attached.
6. In case of any difficulty in using this facility, Sh. Davinder Kumar, Technical Director, NIC, CPAO may be contacted on 011-26715338/ email – kumar.davinder[@]nic.in
This issues with the approval of Competent Authority.

Dear Comrades!
Sub: Brief of the meeting held today between the Government of India and the National Council (JCM) (Staff Side)
The Government of India has constituted a committee, under the Chairmanship of Addl. Secretary(Exp.) with J.S.(Pers.), JS(Estt.) and JS(Imp.) as members, to deal with the pending issues of our memorandum, submitted to the Empowered Committee, of which prominent are “Minimum Wage and Multiplying Factor”.
The first meeting of the said committee with the National Council(JCM) Staff Side was held today, i.e. 30th August, 2016, which remained almost introductory. Apart from the Official Side members, Shri M. Raghaviah, Shri M.S. Raja and I myself(from the Staff Side JCM) attended the said meeting.
We raised vehemently the issues of “Minimum Wage and Multiplying Formula” and made them very clear that; the VII CPC has accepted Dr. Aykroyd Formula for fixing Minimum Wage, but has not implemented the said formula in full sense, so, that is not acceptable to the Staff Side(JCM), therefore, Minimum Wage from Rs.18000 must be enhanced and accordingly Fitment Formula should also be changed.
It was agreed by the committee that, since we are again meeting on 1st September, 2016 with the Committee on Allowances, the next meeting of the said committee will be fixed in consultation with the Staff Side(JCM).
Thereafter, we also met the Cabinet Secretary(Government of India) and there also we shown our anguish about the inordinate delay in resolving those issues which were agreed to. The Cabinet Secretary said that, orders for the gratuity have been issued for the NPS covered employees, and orders for the PLB and arrears have also been issued. Many of the issues raised by the Staff Side(JCM) have been accepted and implemented and the remaining issues would also be pursued and settled.
Comradely yours,

Dear Sir,
Sub : Pay fixation in 7th CPC Pay Matrix level in the case of employees who are in 6th CPC – IS Pay Band (Rs.4440-7440) + GP 1300 – reg.
*******
On Zonal Railways etc., there are cases of employees continued in 6th CPC Pay Band of IS (Rs. 4440-7440) with GP Rs. 1300, as these employees probably have not been granted GP Rs.1800,PB-I due to non-acquisition of minimum qualification of X Pass or its equivalent. Now the issue of granting Pay Fixation for these staff in the 7th CPC level has arisen as on some Zonal Railways, doubts are expressed and revised Pay Fixation is not being done.
In this connection, NFIR conveys that vide Railway Board’s Notification – RBE No. 90/2016 – Part A, the revised Pay Fixation has been provided in the 7th CPC Matrix to those in GP 1800 (6th CPC) and above, it has not been indicated with regard to pay fixation of those who are in GP 1300/- (Pay Band -IS Rs. 4440-7440). In the absence of fitment chart in RBE No. 90/2016, the Pay Fixation for those in -IS is not being done. ln view of this, clear instructions are required to be issued by the Board to the GMs etc.
NFIR, therefore, requests the Railway Board to issue suitable instructions relating to Pay Fixation in the above cases. Federation also invites Board’s attention to the fitment table vide Annexure -E circulated under Board’s letter No. PC-VI/2008/I/RSRP/1 dated 11/09/2008 for appreciation. NFIR also requests the Railway Board to consider the skills and service experience gained by those staff who are presently in – IS Pay Band for the purpose of allotting them the Pay Matrix Level-1 (Rs. 18000/-). If Railway Board is of the view that Government’s approval is needed for placement of these staff in Pay Matrix Level-I, appropriate proposal be made to Ministry of Finance seeking approval as a special case.
Yours faithfully,
