This is with reference to the 10(+2) point
charter of Demands submitted by Central Trade Unions to the Government on 24th

meeting was held on 15th May, 2015 with the Central trade Unions, which was
chaired by me alongwith Hon'ble Minister of State (IC) for Petroleum and
Hon'ble Minister of State(IC) of Power. Prior to the said meeting, a
meeting was also held with all Central Trade Union along with Hon'ble Minister
of State for Finance.
Consequent to the said meeting, I had met with
Hon'ble prime Minister and informed him about the charter of demands and issues
& concerns raised by the Trade Unions. Hon'ble Prime Minister advised
me that detailed discussions be held with all Central Trade Unions through a
Committee of Ministers. I am happy to announce that the Prime Minister
Office has constituted a committee comprising of Finance Minister, Minister of
State Independent Charge for Petroleum and Natural Gas an Minister of State
Independent Charge for Power, Minister of State Prime Minister office and
myself to address all issues raised by the Central Trade Unions.
We shall be visiting Geneva for the
International Labour Conference in June and immediately after return from
Geneva, we shall organize two days meeting with the Central Trade Unions to
carry out threadbare discussions on each of the charter of demands given by the
Unions.
I would like to reiterate that the amendments
of labour laws are taken up only after detailed deliberations and discussions
with the Central Trade Unions in the Tripartite meetings and the suggestions of
the Trade Unions are given due consideration. I am enclosing a copy of
the press note being released by me which indicates action taken so far on the
Charter of Demands.
In view of above, I would expect your full
cooperation in the Government's endeavor to achieve not only the twin
objectives of transparency and accountability but also safe guard the interest
of the workers.
Yours sincerely,
