Pensioners outnumber Central employees

As per reports in the press, there are 30 lakh central government employees and 50 lakh central pensioners. Due to non- recruitment, number of employees has gone down. Every month, pensioners are going to increase due to large scale retirements.
Pensioners are a force. Settle their genuine grievances. Otherwise there will be retaliation from these senior citizens.

Why this intolerance? CMD BSNL should intervene.

The intolerance against union and its genuine activities by certain top officers in BSNL has gone beyond all limits. What else is to be understood from the compulsory retirement of District Secretary BSNLEU Jharkhand and suspension, transfer and FIR against Circle Secretary and office bearers of BSNLEU and SNEA in Kerala ? BSNL C.O. has to immediately intervene and settle issues, failing which, serious agitation will take place.

PSU Executives demand Pay Revision Committe

The executive associations in PSUs have decided to organise programme in front of DPE office demanding appointment of next Pay Revision Committee for recomending wages w.e.f. 01.01.2016.
It is time for the non- executives also to raise the issue for wage revision.

Save Taj Mahal – Shift nearby crematarium

The suggestion of Supreme Court to shift the crematarium nearby to avoid pollution and damage of Taj Mahal by smoke and heat should be honoured by the U.P.Government. Taj Mahal is one of the World Wonders and has to be saved for future generations.

No interview in Delhi for nursery admission – Right decision by AAP govt.

The decision of the AAP government in Delhi to stop interview of nursery children  and parents for admission to private schools is a welcome step.

Only 15% fitment by VII CPC?

A report in Times of India states that the VII Central Pay Commission may submit its report by end of November 2015 and that it may recommend 15 % increase in pay.
This is unacceptable to the employees. 15% increase in 10 years since 2006 means only 1.5% in a year, which is far below the growth in GDP as also far less than the increase given to PSUs. More than 15% increase has been granted to PSUs with 5 year wage revision, which comes to about 30% in
10 years.
The CG employees are already in the war path with a massive dharna on 19 November 2015.

Compulsory Retirement of District Secretary BSNLEU, Jamshedpur opposed

Com. Ram Naresh Prasad, Dist. Secretary, BSNLEU, Jamshedpur has been compulsorily retired on the basis of false charges by the Sr.GM Jamshedpur. It is a vengeance against the Dist. Secretary for taking up the genuine issue of employees as well as the exploitation of the casual and contract workers.

We strongly condemn the vengeful act and demand that the official be reinstated. It is to be remembered that the Sr.GM B.N.Singh was transferred from Bongaigaon (Assam) to Jamshedpur after several complaints were found against him. We demand that he should be transferred from Jamshedpur.

It is reported that the next Membership Verification of Non-Executions may take place by April 2016. The tentative date is 26th April.

This is the VII Membership Verification in BSNL. While NFTE won the first, all other verifications have been won by BSNLEU. In the last verification, 2 unions were recognised – BSNLEU and NFTE. If the first union gets more than 50%, there will be no recognition for the II Union.

The process of VII Verification is starting. It is time to start preparations for the same.

SOLIDARITY WITH THE PEOPLE OF FRANCE

The World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) denounces the terrorist attacks in Paris that resulted in many innocent people, many ordinary people losing their lives. To the working class and the people of France, we express our condolences. From history, we know that terrorist attacks like last night’s in Paris are utilized by the imperialist mechanism, so they can take new antidemocratic measures against the people. To all the workers of France, to all the affiliates and friends of the WFTU, we assure them that we are standing by them during these difficult and dramatic moments. They should know that they are not alone. Our thoughts and our internationalist solidarity are with them.
