The Centre has issued a warning of disciplinary action to dissuade its
13 lakh-odd employees from participating in the strike called by the confederation of central government
employees on Wednesday.
All departments have been asked to take disciplinary action against
babus who skip work for the strike apart from deducting their wages for the
day.
The personnel ministry has even sought a list of all employees who don't
turn up for work on December 12. Departments are usually given about 15 days to
inform the Centre about babus that participated in a strike, but this time the
list of absentees has been sought by the same evening.
The government was informed of the strike by the confederation in
November, citing 15 unmet demands such as scrapping the new
pension scheme, setting up the Seventh
Pay Commission and revival of negotiations between the government and its workers
through the Joint Consultative Machinery (JCM).
