STRIKE IS
DEFERRED, BUT THE STRUGGLE SHALL CONTINUE
Finally, the united struggle of 33
lakhs Central Government Employees under the banner of National Joint Council of
Action (NJCA) comprising Railways, Defence and Confederation has compelled the
totally negative and unwilling NDA Government to negotiate with the staff side
leaders. Hon’ble Prime Minister has intervened and directed three Cabinet
Minsters viz. Home Minister Shri Rajnath Singh, Finance Minister Shri Arun
Jaitly and Railway Minister Shri Suresh Prabhu to hold discussion with the NJCA
Leaders on 30th June 2016. After discussing the demands raised in the
Charter of demands, the Ministers assured that a high level committee will be
constituted to consider the demands raised by NJCA especially the demand for
improving the minimum wage and fitment formula.
As no written communication or
minutes regarding the assurances given by Group of Ministers is forthcoming, the
NJCA met again and 6th July and decided to go ahead with the strike
decision. Again Home Minister Shri Rajnath Singh called the NJCA leaders for
discussion on 6thJuly and reiterated the assurances already given on
30th June and stated that the Finance Minister will issue a press
statement on 6th July itself confirming the assurances given by the
Group of Ministers. It was further assured by the Minister that the proposed
High level committee will submit its recommendations to Government within a time
frame.
Accordingly, the Government issued
the press statement and after detailed deliberations the NJCA unanimously
decided to defer the indefinite strike till the committee finalizes its report.
The press statement of the NJCA and the Government are
attached.
