7th CPC ToR : Confederation demonstration on March 7th and indefinite strike after elections

The confederation have issued a circular expressing the dissatisfaction over the Cabinet approval of the Finance Ministry’s proposal on terms of reference of the 7th CPC.

It states

Unlike on the earlier occasion, the Government has not decided to grant Interim Relief and merger of Dearness allowance. Nor has it asked the Commission to consider and make appropriate recommendation in this regard specifically. As pointed out in our earlier communication, inclusion of a labour representative in the Commission being not an idea the UPA Government cherishes, for it is diametrically opposite to its economic policies and ideology, they have stuck to the position of sandwiching the Honourable Judge with bureaucrats. In the light of the agreement penned by Com. Mahadeviah, the General Secretary of the recognised GDS union with the Postal Board to the effect that a separate one man committee will look into the service

conditions of the Grameen Dak Sewaks, it is not surprising that the Government chose to ignore our demand to cover them within the ambit of the 7th CPC. Our demands for parity between the past and present pensioners and scrapping of the new pension scheme also stand rejected.

The confederation is demanding immediate acceptance of the following

Interim Relief

Merger of DA

Bringing the Grameen Dak Sewaks within the ambit of the 7th CPC

Date of effect from 1/1/2014

Parity in pension entitlement between the past and present pensioners

Coverage of the existing defined benefit pension scheme to employees recruited on or after 1.1.2004.

Include a representative of the Labour in the 7th Central Pay Commission.

Settle the anomalies raised in the National Anomaly Committee

The confederation is planning to go for an indefinite strike action immediately after the General Election if the demands are to be settled.
