After the pronouncement of setting up of 7th Central Pay Commission by the Govt. of India, the leadership of Confederation openly raised the demand of GDS also in way of inclusion of GDS issues in the 7th CPC and DA merger to GDS.

PRESS STATEMENT
Central Government has announced the
constitution of 7th Central Pay
Commission. Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers has
been raising this demand before the Government right from 2011 onwards and has
conducted series of agitational programmes including Parliament March and one
day nationwide strike on 12th December 2012.
While welcoming the decision of the
Government, we are disappointed to note that our demand for five years wage
revision w.e.f. 01.01.2011 and merger of DA has not been considered favourably
by the Government. When the public sector employees are given five years wage
revision and the erosion in real wages has reached an all time high due to
steep price rise, grant of five year wage revision to Central Government
employees is fully justified. Similarly every time the Government appointed pay
commission merger of DA was also granted. This time Government has not acceded
the demand for merger of DA with pay now. Thus by appointing pay commission
employees will not be getting any financial benefit now. The demand for
inclusion of Gramin Dak Sevaks under the purview of the 7th CPC and grant of merger of DA to GDS is also pending.
In view of the above, the National
Secretariat of the Confederation of Central Government Employees and workers
urge upon the Government to consider the above demands also favourably failing
which the confederation shall be constrained go for further agitational
programmes.
