DECISIONS OF FEDERAL EXECUTIVE MEETING

INDUSTRIAL ACTION UNDER JAC.

          The meeting reviewed the success of the call of the programme of Demands Day on 21/01/2010. This programme was issued by apex JAC as a part of the preparatory action for Industrial action.  

           It was reported in the meeting that, major Branches like Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata (observed on 25^th Janaury2010) observed the programme. There is also report of observance of programme by Pune Branch and CBEC, Allahabad Unit. The Federal Executive meeting could not appreciate such type of inertness shown by some the Branches of AICAEA and AICAEA CAT II.

          Though, majority of the Federal Executive members were of the opinion that the major reason for the weakness in the movement of Accounts and Audit Employees is non- functioning or non- existence of local JACs at different stations which needs to be seriously considered by apex JAC and take appropriate action, but they could not also agree that, it could be a valid ground for the Branches of Civil Accounts to fail in implementing the programme.

         The meeting was however, unanimous in opinion that, to achieve the demands, the Accounts and Audit Employees and Offices of Accounts and Audit Departments should resort to united Industrial action under the leadership of apex JAC. The meeting took following decisions:-

1.      In order to remove the inherent weakness of NFCAA

                         @ Demands Day shall be observed by the Branches of AICAEA and AICAEA CAT II on 18^th February 2010 by organizing Centralized lunch Hour demonstration at every station and submitting the Charter of demands to Sr. most officer of the station.

                         (b)     Extensive tour shall be under taken by the Federal Executive members for the purpose of mobilization of members. Secretary Generals of AICAEA & AICAEA Cat – II shall draw up the tour programme by consulting each other.

2.       It shall be suggested by NFCAA in the apex JAC meeting to be held on 1^st February 2009 at Jaipur to give call for mass casual leave on 18^th March 2010. All Chief functionaries of NFCAA and its affiliate shall attend the apex JAC meeting at Jaipur.

                                            

IMPLEMENTATION OF CONFEDERATIONS DECISIONS

            Since there is no call for action programme from Confederation, the meeting has directed Central Headquarter and Branches to carry out other decisions of the National Executive meeting of Confederation held on 18^th January 2010.

 

                                                   ORGANIZATIONAL MATTERS         

a)      Membership Subscription

        Since a large number of DDOs are not deducting & remitting the membership subscription and many of them are yet deducting subscription @ Rs: - 10/- per member per month (in respect of AICAEA), the meeting once again directed the Branches to take proper initiative in this matter. The Branch Secretaries have been further directed to take followup actions as soon as they receive the copy of the letter addressed to the DDOs by the Central headquarter on discrepancy and shortcomings in the process of remittance of subscription and send compliance report of their action to Central headquarter within a fortnight of receipt of the letter.

b)   Remittance of 1% of 6 CPC arrear

         Since there is no justification of keeping the process of collection of 1 % of the 6 CPC arrear pending by the Branches, all Branches and Units have been directed by the meeting to remit the outstanding amount due against 1% of the 6 CPC arrear within 15- 03-2010 without fail and send full details of the collection.

c)     DEO Court case fund    

         The meeting of the Federal Executive once again appealed upon the defaulting DEOs to appreciate the effort of organization in resolving their long pending problem in relation to their pay Scale and respond positively to the appeal of the organization by remitting the due to contribution to the organization voluntarily so that, organization do not suffer financially. The meeting also directed the Branch and Unit Secretaries concerned to play their due role in this matter without keeping it pending for more years.

f) Recognition of AICAEA Cat – II

          The meeting expressed serious Concern over the non –granting of recognition to AICAEA Cat – II. The meeting observed that, despite submitting requisite number of membership forms for recognition to the Association under CCS (RSA), Rules 1993, the CGA authorities have not been extending recognition to the Association purposely and motivatedly.
