2nd SEPTEMBER 2015 STRIKE - OUR FUTURE
SURVIVAL
Appeal to Divisional Secretaries/Circle Secretaries of FNPO
affiliated unions Importance of 2nd September 2015 Strike,
Dear Colleagues,
You are aware that our Federation and
its affiliated unions have issued strike notice on 17-8-2015 to participate in
the 2nd September 2015 strike called by national trade union centers.
Our Federation is aware how our sister unions targeted our members
during verification. We received hundreds of complaints from various corners
complaining about the sister unions and their atrocities. The Federation is
very well aware about the local issues. But we have to think globally and act
locally. This is the time to go on strike at the national level.
If we choose to stay away from strike
on the pretext of local animosity, we will be branded as anti-strikers sister
unions are expert to propagate against us in this regard. Majority of innocent
members always believe false propaganda of sister unions. We should not give
room to them, We mentally satisfied with the demands which are placed by the
national trade union centres, especially item No. 5 Minimum wage as Rs. 15000/-
for Indian worker. Unless minimum wage is raised, we cannot demand Rs. 26000/-
raise for Central Government employees. Like-wise, disinvestment, FDI and
anti-labour laws are very important for indian Workers today. In regard to Part
II now 7th CPC is going to submit its report in August/September 2015. But till
date inclusion of GDS case in the 7th CPC purview has been rejected by the
Government twice. This is unfair, unethical and unjust and we cannot accept the
stand of the Government/Department. The
Department/Government is always showing step-motherly treatment to the GDS
employees.
In Railways, Income Tax Department
Central Secretariat and other Central Government establishment, Cadre
Restructuring has already been implemented. But in our Department it is still
pending including MMS. This is the time to show our anger against the
Government/Department. Our Federation therefore requests all our colleagues to
go on strike on 2nd September 2015. If the strike becomes successful, it will
pave way for settling many issues across the table.
I request all our affiliated unions let
us keep aside our differences with the sister unions for the time-being to
achieve our main goal from the Government/Department. Unless we achieve the
goal, we will not be respected by the members. Do participate in the strike and
make the strike thundering success. This is for our future survival.
