No.NC/JCM/2016 Dated: October 26, 2016
Hon’ble Minister for Finance,Ministry of Finance,
(Government of India),
New Delhi
Respected Sir,
We solicit your kind reference to the discussions; the representatives of the Staff Side JCM had with you on 30th June 2016 in the wake of impending strike action that was to commence from 11th July 2016. Hon’ble Home Minister, Shri Rajnath Singh, your goodself, Hon’ble Minister for Railways, Shri Suresh Prabhakar Prabhu and Hon’ble MoSR, Shri Manoj Sinha, on having detailed deliberations with the Staff Side, had appreciated that, the Central Government employees were not generally happy with the decision taken by the Union Cabinet on 29th June 2016, while accepting the recommendations of the 7th CPC, particularly in the matter of Minimum Wage and Fitment Formula. After detailed discussions it was agreed by your goodself and other Hon’ble Ministers present in the meeting that, the government would address the grievances of the employees, whereupon the NJCA had decided to defer the “Indefinite Strike”. Accordingly, a committee was set-up to consider the demand of Revision of Minimum Wage and Fitment Formula with a mandate to finalize its report within four months.
We (Staff Side) interacted with the said
committee, headed by Shri P.K. Das, Addl. Secretary(Expenditure), on
24.10.2016. It would be quite appropriate to bring to your kind notice that, we
have felt, during the course of meeting, that, the proceedings of the committee
are extremely disappointing and are left with the impression that, the
committee is dilly-dallying the issue.
We are, therefore, left with no option, but to
address this communication with the fervent hope that, your goodself will
direct the said committee to interact with the Staff Side in a fruitful manner
and arrive at a mutually agreeable proposal on the issues of Minimum Wage and
Fitment Formula.
We have full trust and believe that, the
government would honour the decision taken in the meeting held on 30.06.2016 in
your benign presence, and suitable direction will be given to the committee to
complete the assigned task within the stipulated time frame in a satisfactory
manner.
It would be the most unfortunate development, we
regret to state, if we are constrained to tread the path of struggle once again
in the event of the committee not coming up with a satisfactory settlement.
With Kind Regards!
Yours faithfully,
sd/-
(Shiva Gopal Mishra)
Secretary
