Central govt. staff call off strike plan
Central govt. staff call off strike plan
The Central government employee unions have called off
their proposed indefinite strike from July 11 on issues related to
enhancement of minimum pay above Rs. 18,000 and other issues connected
to the 7th Pay Commission.
The decision to call off
the strike was taken by the National Joint Council of Action (NJCA), an
umbrella outfit of the employees, late on Wednesday after the government
put out a press statement on the meeting between the council
representatives and two Ministers on June 30 wherein it was promised
that the government would look into their demands. The council had to
settle for a mere press statement on the June 30 meeting as the
government was not willing to give any firm commitment.
A
government statement issued around 9 p.m. on Wednesday noted,
“Representatives of Unions representing employees of the Central
government had met Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Finance Minister Arun
Jaitley and Minister for Railways Suresh Prabhu in the evening of June
30. They had requested that certain issues raised by them in relation to
the pay scales and other recommendations of the Pay Commission be
allowed to be raised before a Committee of Secretaries looking into
different aspects of grievances of employees in relation to the Pay
Commission recommendations.
“The Ministers assured the union leaders that the issues raised by them would be considered by a High Level Committee.”
Explaining
the reason why it chose to go ahead with the strike despite the June 30
meeting and the subsequent decision to call it off, the Council in a
statement said: “As no written communication or minutes regarding the
assurances given by Group of Ministers is forthcoming, the NJCA met
again and July 6 and decided to go ahead with the strike decision. Again
Mr. Singh called the NJCA leaders for discussion on July 6 and
reiterated the assurances already given on June 30 and stated that Mr.
Jaitley would issue a press statement on July 6 itself confirming the
assurances given by the Group of Ministers.”
Besides
enhancement of minimum pay of Rs. 18,000, the unions want the Committee
to re-look at the fitment formula and want the government to bring about
parity between the past and present pensioners.
