INDEFINITE STRIKE ?

WHY INDEFINITE STRIKE
SHOULD BE REVIVED BY NJCA ?
From the above it is
clear that the Government has gone back from all the assurances and is not
ready to take the JCM staffside seriously. All the
employees and
pensioners are totally disappointed and are voicing their anger and protest through
various forums including social media.
It is in this
background the much awaited meeting of NJCA was held on 17-01-2017.
Unfortunately, no consensus decision for revival of the deferred indefinite
strike could be taken in the NJCA meeting. As stated above, the revival of the
indefinite strike is the only option left before the NJCA.
SIGNIFICANCE OF 16th MARCH 2017, ONE DAY
STRIKE OF CONFEDERATION
The 25th National
Conference of the Confederation of Central Govt. employees & Workers, held
at Chennai had taken a decision to request all constituents of NJCA to revive
the deferred indefinite strike, if the Government is not ready to honour its
commitment before 30th October 2016, ie; before the four months timeline fixed
for fulfilling the assurances given to the NJCA leaders on 30-06-2016 by none
other than the senior cabinet Ministers, Shri. Rajnath Singh, Shri. Arun
Jaitley and Shri. Suresh Prabhu.
The AIC further
decided that, in case NJCA is not ready to revive the deferred indefinite
strike, the confederation should organise independent trade union action
including strike. Confederation strongly feels that, now that almost eight
months are over after the “sacred” assurances given by Honourable
Ministers, there is
no meaning in going on waiting indefinitely. Further Govt. has already conveyed
its decision that Option-I for Pensioners is rejected and withdrawal of NPS is
not within the purview of NPS committee. Govt. had unilaterally imposed
“adverse” conditions for grant of MACP.
Allowances are already delayed for 14
months (from the date of effect of 7th CPC) and the arrears are
likely to be denied. The so called “High Level Committee” is yet to be
constituted.
As no consensus
decision for revival of indefinite strike could be taken in the NJCA,
confederation has decided to organise one day nationwide protest strike on 16th March, 2017.
Response from employees & participation in the countrywide demonstrations,
Mass Dharnas and 15th December 2016
Parliament March was unprecedented and magnificent. About more than 13 lakhs
Central Government employees will participate in the strike. After reviewing
the participation, confederation will decide future course of action including
indefinite strike, if situation warrants.
The National
Secretariat of the Confederation calls upon all Central Government employees to
make the one day strike a grand success by ensuring your participation in the
strike.
AWAKE, ARISE, UNITE COMRADES!
RALLY ROUND CONFEDETATION!!
“UNITY FOR STRUGGLE
AND STRUGGLE FOR UNITY”
“An iron-like
determination is the guarantee for success of every movement, this should not
be forgotten even for a moment. However ruthless may be the ruling class, they
cannot change the tide of the history. It is the masses that alone can bring real
change through their indomitable strength and courage. It is not the question
of appealing to the sense of injustices of the Government, but the relative
strength of the organised movements and the forces combating it, that is going
to decide the course of history”.

Late
Com. K. G. Bose, the spark that revolutionised the Central Govt. employees
movement with the message of “unity for struggle and struggle for unity”.
