Dear comrades,
Posted hereunder is circular no. 30 of the CHq containing the decisions taken in the extended secretariate held at New Delhi on 24th August 2013. The following, inter alia, needs immediate comments from the members so that the Kerala Secretariate can formulate its decisions and inform the CHq accordingly.
Date of Passing for ITIs promotion:
It was informed about the emerging opinion in the Sub-committee constituted for the revision of Recruitment Rules against the retention of twin slot of Date of Passing and Seniority for consideration for promotion to the cadre of Inspectors especially in view of the provisions of the Model Recruitment Rules circulated by the DOPT, the reduction in the stagnation period and non-existence of such provisions in the upper and lower cadres Recruitment Rules. All the Circles were asked to intimate their stand on the matter to the CHq before 30-08-2013. As there is no sufficient time to convene formal meetings to discuss this matter, all Branch Secretaries are requested to take the individual opinions of all the members and inform the same to the Acting General Secretaay before 29th of August.
Strike Ballot:
The JCA of Confederation, Railway Employees and Defence Employees have chalked out a programme to go jointly for an indefinite strike demanding among other things, the setting up of VII-CPC, Merger of DA & Scraping of New Pension Scheme. The call of the JCA for strike ballot was discussed in the CWC and decided to go for a massive campaign instead of Strike Ballot. The Extended Secretariat Meeting reviewed the decision in the back ground of the consequent communication from the Confederation. The meeting also deliberated in detail the requirement of strike ballot since it is for an indefinite strike as also the impact and advantages of such a process. It was felt by the Secretariat that an indefinite strike preparation had always resulted in the announcement of the CPC in the past. Therefore it is imperative on our part to carry out the programme. In the extended meting of the Sectt. some of the Circle Secretaries were not present. It was, therefore, decided that their views must be obtained within a week’s time, before the Confederation’s directive is acted upon.
Consequently, the circles are to communicate their views on the above issue with in a week after contacting the members of their decision making bodies or holding emergency meetings. All Branch secretaries are therefore requested to convene urgent meeting of their Branches to discuss the matter.
Lunch Hour Demonstration:
The CHq Secretariate has decided to hold lunch hour demonstrations at all Branches on 30 August 2013 to force the CBDT to relent in the issues pertaining to the composition of Directorates and sudden sacking of the contingent employees working for decades in the Department paving way for contractualisation and outsourcing of work of permanent nature. The demonstration is to be followed by a resolution which is to be sent to the Chairman by all Branch Secretaries. The format of the resolution is enclosed along with circular no. 30.
