2nd SEPTEMBER 2016 -ALL INDIA GENERAL STRIKE
MAKE IT A GRAND SUCCESS
The Joint platform of Central Trade Unions (CTUs) of the Country along with Independent National Federations of employees of different industries and services including Confederation of Central Govt. Employees and Workers, have decided to organize All India General Strike on 2nd September 2016, against the anti-people, anti-workers policies and authoritarian attitude of the NDA Government. Intensive campaign and preparation to make the general strike a resounding historical success is going on in full swing throughout the country. The attitude of the NDA Government is profoundly negative and hugely challenging to the working class including Central Govt. employees. The issues in the Charter of demands submitted by the Trade Unions to the Govt. relate to basic interest of the country’s economy and also issues concerning the livelihood of the working people of both organized and unorganized sectors.
Govt. has not taken any meaningful step to curb price rise of essential commodities and to generate employment except making tall baseless claims. Govt. is mysteriously silent on the question of retrieving the black money stashed abroad and recovering lakhs of crores of rupees of bad debts of public sector banks. Whole range of social security measures are under severe attacks including the pension of post – 2004 entrants in Central Govt. Services. Govt. has launched atrocious attack of drastic cut in interest on small savings deposits. Totally ignoring the united opposition of the working class, the Govt. has been moving fast to demolish existing labour laws thereby empowering the employers with unfettered rights to “hire and fire” and stripping the workers and trade union of all their rights and protection provided in laws. Alongwith the peasantry and agri- labourers are also under severe attack. Attack on public sector has been pushed to unprecedented height with Govt. announcing mega strategic sale and also allowing unlimited FDI in strategic sectors like Railways, Defence and financial Sector as complimentary to the move of privatization and Public Private partnership etc. The anti-worker and authoritarian attitude of the Government is also nakedely reflected in their refusal to implement the consensus recommendations of 43rd, 44th and 45th Indian Labour Conference for formulations of minimum wages, equal wage and benefits of regular workers to the Contract workers.
The neo-liberal economic policies pursued by the Govt. has landed the entire national economy in distress and decline affecting the working people the most.
Central Govt. Employees worst affected:
The policy offensives of the Govt. like downsizing, outsourcing, contractorisation, corporatization and privatization has affected the Central Govt. departments and employees in a worst manner. Ban on creation of new posts and non-filling up of about six lakhs vacant posts had increased the work load of the existing employees and adversely affected the efficiency of the services. The New Pension Scheme (NPS) implemented with affect from 01.01.2004, is nothing but a “No Pension Scheme”, as it is fully dependent on the vagaries of share market forces. The Govt. is not ready to grant civil servant status to Gramin Dak Sevaks and to regularize the services of causal, contingent and contract workers. The 5% ceiling on compassionate appointment is not yet removed. The bonus ceiling enhancement from Rs.3500/- to Rs. 7000/- is not made applicable to Central Govt. Employees. Govt. is not ready to modify the 7th CPC recommendations, which is worst ever made by any pay commissions. The assurance given to the staff side regarding enhancement minimum pay and fitment formula is yet to be implemented. All other retrograde recommendations like reduction in the percentage of HRA, abolition of 52 allowances etc. are yet to be modified. Overall the attitude of the Modi Govt. is totally negative towards the Central Govt. employees and pensioners.
The National Secretariat is of the firm opinion that unless the policy of the Govt. is changed, more attacks are likely to come on the Central Govt. employees and working class. To change the policy the united struggle of entire working class is required. It is in this background the Confederation of Central Govt. employees and workers has decided to join the General Strike along with other sections of the working class of our country.
The Confederation National Secretariat calls upon the entirety of Central Govt. employees to make intensive campaign and preparation for making the 2nd September 2016 strike a grand success. Along with the 12 Point charter of demands of the working class, the Confederation has decided to submit the demands pertaining to the Central Govt. employees also as Part-B of the Charter of demands to the Govt. The Chater of demands (Part A and B) is furnished below:
2016 September 2nd General Strike 12 Point Charter of Demands of Joint Platform of Central Trade Unions submitted to government:

India Post Payments Bank Incorporated
The India Post Payments Bank Limited has
received the Certificate of Incorporation from the Registrar of
Companies, Ministry of Corporate Affairs yesterday under the Companies
Act 2013. This would be the first PSU under the Department of Posts.
This has happened in the wake of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s
Independence Day address, raising the expectations of the people from
the soon to be set up India Post Payments Bank. With this move the
Department of Posts has cleared an important milestone on this journey.
With the incorporation, the Board of the
India Post Payments Bank Limited is likely to be constituted soon. The
incorporation of the IPPB Ltd is a significant step forward as this also
paves the way for the bank to begin hiring of banking professionals to
set up the bank and begin its operations in 2017. The Department of
Posts is expected to complete the roll out of its branches all over the
country by September 2017. This could be the fastest roll out for a bank
anywhere in the world.
The aspiration for the India Post Payments
Bank is to become the most accessible bank in the world riding on state
of the art banking and payments technology. Coupled with the physical
presence across 1.55 lakh post offices and the reach of “The Dakiya”,
the India Post Payments Bank aims to become a powerful and effective
vehicle of real financial inclusion in the country. It is poised to
create a national payments architecture riding on a modern payments
platform and ubiquitous information and communication technologies that
can be accessed by all users and service providers like never before.
The stakeholders of the India Post Payments Bank within the Government
and outside are looking at this new entity as a catalyst to social and
financial inclusion.

the Cabinet Sub Committee constituted by Prime Minister under the
Chairmanship of Finance Minister to hold meaningful negotiations, Govt.
understands the language of struggle and strikes, need of intensive
campaign to take the message of Sept. 2nd strike and charter of demands
to every nook and corner of the country, social oppression in the name
of caste and religion taking place in various parts of the country which
has become a great challenge to the unity of the working class, need
and importance of united struggle to defeat the neo-liberal policies and
also communalism. Finally he called upon the leaders, delegates and
observers attending the Conference to make the 2nd September 2016 strike
a historic success, especially in the Central Govt. employees sector.
Sri.R.S.Bharati, MP, DMK addressed the National Conference and conveyed best wishes.
Com.T.M.Murthy, National Secretary, AITUC, in his address to the
Conference narrated in detail the importance of September 2nd strike and
the issues raised in the charter of demands. He criticised the totally
negative attitude of the NDA Government towards working class and the

to the conference.

the open session. All the three leaders explained in detail, the
developments which resulted in the deferment of the 11th July indefinite
strike call of NJCA. They pointed out that it is only because of the
total unity and preparedness of the entire Central Govt. Employees
including Railways, Defence, Postal and Confederation, the Govt. finally
came down and the Prime Minister intervened and directed the Senior
Cabinet Minister’s Committee to negotiate with the NJCA. Govt. initially
was under the impression that once the pay commission recommended pay
scales and benefits are announced by the Cabinet, the NJCA’s strike
threat will automatically fizzle out. But Govt’s calculations went
wrong and NJCA took a firm stand. On 30th June Group of Ministers
assured increase in the minimum pay and fitment factor and appointment
of a High Level Committee to make recommendations for fulfilling their
assurance. The leaders made clear that in case the Government go back
from its assurance, the deferred indefinite strike will be revived by
the NJCA. They assured that the NJCA and JCM staff side will make
maximum efforts to get positive results from the five committees
proposed by the Govt. viz. 1) Allowance Committee headed by Finance and
Expenditure Secretary, 2) Anomaly Committee, 3) Committee to take
decision on the feasibility of option-I of Pension Fixation
recommendation of 7th CPC, 4) Committee for streamlining the
implementation of the New Pension System (NPS), 5) High Level Committee
as per the assurance of Group of Ministers. They stressed the need to
further strengthening of unity and NJCA.
