Dated: 28th March, 2021.

Dear Comrade,

Kindly refer to the telephonic conversation we had yesterday .  As I told you, we are getting frantic calls from our senior comrades over the non payment of DR/DA and other covid related issues.  They are apprehensive of the Government further freezing the DA/DR and ultimately denying the payment of DA itself in future  Given the hollowness of the assurances held out by the bureaucrats on many previous  occasions,  we have reason to believe that the said apprehension is not totally misplaced.  They are of the opinion that a united action programme, howsoever simple it is, must be organised by the working employees and the pensioners together to highlight some of the pressing issues.  The National JCA which we had formed in the wake of the 7th CPC  wage revision, will be the best suited platform for organising such an action.  Fairly almost all Federations of CGEs have representation in that set up .  The Pensioners Associations in the country have all followed the decision of the NJCA.  In the circumstances, it would be appropriate that you may convene a meeting of the NJCA through any virtual platform so that consultation with all concerned could be conducted and appropriate decisions taken.  I give hereunder some of the issues, which we might highlight for immediate resolution for an all out settlement of the earlier charter of demands appears to be a distant possibility.  

1.Payment of DA/DR to all employees and pensioners with arrears; immediate issuance of the requisite orders.

2.Implementation of the supreme court decisions considering them as decision  in ram especially in the following cases:

(i)Notional increment for those who have completed one year piror to retirement I,.e. on 30th June and 31st December.

(ii)To give effect to the MACP scheme from 1.1.2016, which had already been done in the case of armed personnel;

3.Any other such decisions of the supreme court, which have already been subjected to discussions at the Standing Committee.

Include the Central Government employees in the priority list of covid vaccination as they are required to discharge official functions even during the period of lock out. 

4.Declare all CGHS dispensaries/Wellness centres, Railways hospitals and dispensaries as vaccination centre where the Central Government will provide the vaccines;

5.Payment of compensation (not less than 10 lakhs) to all those who died of covid. (The BSNL management has already taken such a decision in the matter)

Provide compassionate appointments to the wards of all CG employees, who died since November, 2019 without adhering to the illogical ceiling of 5%.

6.Evolve a health insurance scheme for all employees and pensioners to cover up all pensioners, who are outside the ambit of CGHS;

7.Take steps to revive all PSUs which are either closed down or privatised, which are capable of manufacturing vaccine in the background of the acute shortage as also the oxygen units.

8.Provide full wages to all workers who are engaged on daily rated basis even for the days they could not attend office due to covid related reasons. 

9.Any other issues which the meeting might consider important and required to be included  

With greetings, 

Yours fraternally,

Dated: 23^rd May, 2021

Dear Comrades,

 

We reproduce hereunder the extract from  the circular letter issued by the Confederation of Central Government employees and workers in connection with the observance of Black day on 26^th May 2021.  In the matters of common interest, you are aware, the NCCPA and the Confederation endeavours to function jointly.  In the present covid situation, whereby most of our cities and towns are under lock down a demonstrative action in front of Government offices is a rare possibility.  We, therefore, request our affiliates, State Units, CGPAs and other members to join the programme wherever possible or wear the black badges on 26^th May, 2021 even when you are at home. This is to convey our discontent and anger to the powers that be in a democratic manner.  

 

With greetings,

Yours fraternally,

 

K.K.N. Kutty.

Secretary General.

 

Extract from the circular letter of the Confederation of CGE & Workers dated 23^rd May, 2021.

 

Dear Comrades,

 

Kindly see the  Press Statement issued by the Central Trade Unions on 20^th May, 2021 calling upon all workers to observe 26^th May, 2021 as Black day.  The full text of the Press Statement has been placed on the Confederation’s website .

 

Confederation, as you all know, had been part and parcel of the joint movement of the Trade Unions in the country, ever since the new economic policies were ushered in and implemented by the successive Governments that came to power at the Centre since 1991.  We endorse the call of the Central Trade Unions to observer 26^th May, 2021 as Black day.  We are aware that quite a number of cities and towns in our country are under lock down due to the rapid spread of the pandemic corona-Covid 19.  There are stipulations made by the respective State Governments in so far as maintaining social distance is concerned.  We request our members through our affiliates and State COCs to organise the protest programme adhering to those stipulations and taking care that our protest action in no way accentuate the  spread of the disease.  Kindly ensure that every member wears black badge on 26^th May 2021 and if possible badges indicating the issues on which we are agitated,  throughout the day .  Please also ensure that black flags are kept in the office compound   Written posters may be affixed in prominent places.  The State units might publish pamphlets or leaflets highlighting the following issues;

 

The denial and continued freezing of the dearness allowance/dearness relief instalments that have become due to the CGEs/CG Pensioners since January, 2020;

The nugatory attitude of the Government in settling the demands of the CGEs even those cases where the highest court of the country, the supreme court has given their decision in favour of the employees/pensioners;

The impasse created in combating the pandemic corona covid 19 due to the deficiency of vaccines; medicines, hospital beds, oxygen, ventilators, ICUs etc  which has resulted in the death of lakhs of people in the country.   As of today, the number of covid related death in the country has crossed the 3 lakh mark.  The above situation had been the product of the pernicious decisions emanating from the pursuance of the neo liberal economic policies, due to which the vaccine manufacturing  PSUS  were either closed down or hived off to the private entrepreneurs.  The crony capitalism by virtue of which the tax payers money is allowed to flow into the hands of selected Industrialists, which has become of theme of governance of the present government had been the single significant culprit for the present situation in the country;

The unhindered spread of obscurantist  and irrational beliefs by those occupying high positions in the Government and the society obliterating even whatever scientific temper exist in the society has accentuated the death toll and has created invincible impediments in the efforts of the health workers;

The continuous price rise of all petroleum products in the post-election fortnight  without any rhyme or reason, especially when the international crude oil prices has crashed  igniting inflation by the oil PSUs to make super profits out of human misery with the seal of approval of the government in power;

Withdrawing the benefits of both farmers and workers by passing legislations in the form of labour codes and farm laws and driving them to pitiable standard of living;

Refusing to render any assistance to the workers especially in the unorganised sectors who have lost their livelihood due to the lock down and corona;

The misuse and abuse of state power to imprison people who raise their voice in support of the poor workers and extreme intolerance towards dissenting views;

Above all the failure to provide  adequate health care facilities to the  people who are affected by the covid pandemic.

OBITUARY

With deep sorrow we heard the sudden demise  of com. M Krishnan, former Secretary General of Confederation of CGEs and workers and the NAtional Federation of Postal employees. He began his official service career in Govt. of India in Postal department. From the day one he chose to work for the workers and employees. His whole life was dedicated to them. Even after retirement from active service he remained in the forefront of the movement guiding  the comrades.  Being a member of the Chala area committee of CPI(M) he had the strenuous task of ensuring the victory of the LDF candidates in the  last local body elections which was a very hotly contested one. He acquitted himself very creditably and demonstrated the fine organisational ability he possessed.  He had the magnificent capacity to interact with people, convince them with his logical and matter of fact  arguments and persuasion. Above all he was a good speaker both in Malayalam and English. There were innumerable occasions in which he could resolve   the organisational problems with his persuasive ability. The CGE movement will miss this comrade for a very long time to come and his loss is certainly irreparable. Com. Krishnan was unfortunately afflicted with the deadly virus covid 19 along with his wife. Both were  admitted to the hospital and given the best possible treatment but com. Krishnan ultimately succumbed.  Mrs. Krishnan is recovering. NCCPA dips its flag in memory of this fine comrade and convey the heartfelt condolences of all its members , many of them had the opportunity   to work with com. Krishnan to the bereaved members of his family. K.K.N. kutty. Secretary general NCCPA and Vice President, Confederation.
