New Delhi, February 9:
The National Joint Council of Action (NJCA), a body representing 32 lakh
Central government employees, in its meeting earlier on Monday decided
to proceed on an indefinite strike from 6 am on April 11, if their
charter of demands was not resolved.
Stating this in a release, Convener of National Joint Council of Action
(NJCA) Shiva Gopal Mishra, said that the notice for the strike will be
served to the respective employers on March 11 by holding huge rallies,
demonstrations. The decision is subject to outcome of the result of
strike ballot for railways and ordinance factories as they are
industrial units, which will be held on February 11.
The total number of employees under Railways and ordinance factories is
about 15 lakh, shared Shiva Gopal Mishra. The charter of demands
includes improving minimum wage of ₹18,000 and multiplying factor,
rejecting all the retrograde recommendations of the VII Central Pay
Commission (CPC). Scrap National Pension Scheme (NPS) and restore Old
Pension Scheme for all those appointed on or after January 1, 2004. It
also calls for scrapping the report of the Bibek Debroy committee and
implementing positive recommendations of the DP Tripathi Committee,
which had recommendations on motormen.
The charter demands the re-call of the notification issued by the Centre
on August 22, 2014 in the matter of 100 per cent foreign direct
investment (FDI) in construction, operation and maintenance of Indian
Railways.
It has also called for scrapping all the agreements entered with the
foreign or national companies in detriment to the interest of the Indian
Railways and the country as a whole.
