GOVERNMENT REFUSED TO ACCEPT THE MAIN DEMANDS OF THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT

CONFEDERATION OF CENTRAL GOVT.GAZETTED OFFICERS ORGANISATION(CCGGOO) CALLS
UPON THE ENTIRE CG OFFICERS & EMPLOYEES TO PROTEST AGAINST THE ARBITRARY
AND UNILATERAL DECISION OF THE GOVERNMENT.
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. 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. Our demands for parity between the past
and present pensioners and scrapping of the new pension scheme also stand
rejected.
As you are aware, the 6th CPC (and the earlier Commissions also)
had refused to entertain the demand for removal of anomalies
despite Government referring the same to the Commission
specifically. Therefore, the omnibus clause in the terms of
reference requiring the Commission to submit interim reports may
not be of any help to us to raise the anomalies before the 7th
CPC.
At the conclusion of the meeting held by Secretary, DoPT, with the staff
side on terms of reference of the 7th CPC, it was agreed that the
Government will consider our suggestion in the matter and will convene
another meeting with the presence of Secretary (Expenditure) to iron out
the differences, if any, and explore the possibilities of an agreement in
the matter. But no such meeting was convened and no attempt was made by
the official side to arrive at an agreed Terms of Reference.
CCGGOO CONDEMNS THE ATTITUDE OF THE GOVERNMENT IN NOT HONOURING ITS
COMMITMENT OF HOLDING DISCUSSION WITH THE STAFF SIDE BEFORE FINALISING
THE TERMS OF REFERENCE OF THE 7TH CPC AND DEMAND IMMEDIATE ACCEPTANCE
OF :
(1)Interim Relief
(2)Merger of DA
(3)Date of effect from 1/1/2011
(4)Parity in pension entitlement between the past and present pensioners.
(5)Coverage of the existing defined benefit pension scheme to employees
recruited on or after 1.1.2004.
(6)Include a representative of the Labour in the 7th Central Pay Commission.
(7)Settle the anomalies
