RESOLUTION ADOPTED IN EXTENDED FEDERAL COUNCILMEETING HELD AT DELHI ON 3RD AND 4TH OCTOBER 2012

 

This extended Federal Executive meeting of the National Federation of Civil Accounts Associations (represented by the All India Civil Accounts Employees Association and All India Civil Accounts Employees Association Category-II) held in Delhi on 3^rd and 4^th October 2012 noted with anguish over the installation of CCTV Camera inside the office premise of PAO, BSF, New Delhi by the Civil Accounts authorities. Monitoring of employees using CCTV is the gross invasion of privacy of employees especially women. Hence, the representatives of the Association requested CCA ,MHA during the meeting held on4th July 2012 and asked him to direct the concerned authority of PAO ,BSF New Delhi to remove the CCTV Cameras as there is  no security threat as sufficient security arrangement has been provided  in the entrance of the office. Moreover, there is no such provision under the government of India rules to install CCTV Cameras to monitor employees working inside the office room where the employees are sitting and working.

 

 During the meeting the official side alleged that employees are indulging in malpractices which compelled the authorities to install the CCTV inside the office. The staff side refuted the wild allegation made by the authorities against the innocent Gr-B & C Employees and registered its protest.  It is nothing but serious charge which questioning the honesty and integrity of entire employees of the office. After a prolonged discussion the staff side instead of taking an adamant stand, requested the authorities  to change angle of CCTC Cameras  in such a manner that the employees are able to  work comfortably without any fear of invasion of their privacy. Although the authorities had assured that they would take necessary steps in this respect but even after lapse of three months no action has been taken.

 

This meeting therefore, once again requests the CCA, Ministry of Home Affairs to direct the local administration of PAO, BSF to take necessary action in consultation with the Branch Committee members of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association South end Branch, Delhi, i. e. the PAO, BSF Delhi without any further delay.

 

This meeting resolves that, if the matter is not settled the Association shall have no other alternative but to adopt the path of agitation and the Association shall not be responsible for any disturbance of prevailing congenial atmosphere in the Civil Accounts Organization.

 

The meeting resolves to forward the Resolution to CCA, MHA and CGA.

VIEWS OF EXTENDED FEDERAL EXECUTIVE MEETING OF THE NATIONAL FEDERATION OF CIVIL ACCOUNTS ASSOCIATIONS(N.F.C.A.A.) HELD IN DELHI ON 3RD AND 4TH OCTOBER 2012.

COM.K.K.N.KUTTY, SECRETARY GENERAL, CONFEDERATION OF  CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES AND WORKERS' ADDRESSED THE FEDERAL EXECUTIVE MEMBERS AND APPEALED UPON THE NATIONAL FEDERATION OF CIVIL ACCOUNTS ASSOCIATIONS TO MAKE  THE ONE DAY STRIKE ON 12 DECEMBER 2012 A GRAND SUCCESS.

DECLARATION ADOPTED IN THE WORKERS CONVENTION 

HELD AT NEW DELHI, ON 04.09.2012

This National Convention of Workers held on 4th September, 2012 at Talkatora Stadium. New Delhi, participated by workers representatives from all over India from all sectors, expresses its deep concern and anguish at the total non-response of the Govt. to address the burning Issues of the working people viz containing price-rise, universalisation of social security rights for unorganized sector workers, ensuring proper minimum wages, mass scale contractorisation, rampant violation of labour laws and onslaught on trade union rights etc., despite consistent persuasion by all in united platform of the entire trade union movement in the country through various forms of countrywide programmes and agitations in a democratic manner since last three years. Such non-response of Govt. to the all-in-united activities and persuasion by trade unions is nothing but an affront on the democratic rights and aspirations of the working people of the country, which the trade union movement cannot accept lying down.

While condemning the government for Its inaction and total indifference towards the miserable plights of the working people who keep the wheel of the economy moving, this National Convention strongly opposes the move of the Govt. to curtail budgeted allocations for pro-people employment and welfare schemes like NREGA and ICDS meant for rural populace and women and child care respectively. The Govt. is hell bent upon carrying the financial reforms by amending the bank and insurance laws to allow entry of MNCs and Corporates in these vital sectors and also pushing through the privatization process in phases through disinvestment of shares in blue chip PSUs In the core and strategic sectors of the economy. The Govt. is gifting natural and mineral resources of the country to corporates and MNCs paving the way for their loot.

Labour law violations are on increase, corporates have been given tree hand to suppress democratic trade union rights including the basic right of forming a trade union and increase in deployment of contract labour on jobs of regular nature. Many millions of workers employed to run several central govt. schemes, like ICDS, ASHA, mid-day-meal, sarva-silksha etc are being denied even the statutory minimum wages and associated rights. The state administration has become subservient to MNCs, and Corporates. The recent unfortunate incident in Maruti Suzuki Plant in Manesar and its aftermath including arrest of 150 workers and dismissal of over 500 workers is a glaring instance of corporate govt. nexus.

It appears the govt. is bent upon continuing the same anti people economic policy even seeking to enact legislations that run contrary to the interest of working people and their social security rights besides generating a severe recessionary impact on the national economy. The growth of economy is as low as 5.2 and index of industrial production declining to less than 1 percent with unemployment situation aggravating severely.

The Convention expresses its deep concern at the refusal of the Central Govt. to respond to the just demands of the united platform of trade unions on which the country had witnessed, as never before, a massive general strike on 28th February 2012.

This Convention while taking note of the precarious economic situation of the country, steep rise in the price of essential goods and commodities and all out attack on trade union aid social security rights and rampant labour law violations decides to further intensify the joint struggles, that were being carried out lot last three years on the following demands.

While reiterating the live point demands formulated jointly by the Central Trade Unions and Federations for 1) concrete measures to contain price rise, 2) concrete measures for employment generation, 3) strict enforcement of labour laws, 4) universal social security cover for organized and unorganized workers and creation of National Social Security Fund and 5) stoppage of disinvestment in Central and State PSUs/ Undertakings, the National Convention demands immediate action by the Govt. of India to ensure :-

No Contractorisation of work of permanent/perennial nature and payment of wages and benefits to the contract workers at the same rate as available to the regular workers of the industry/establishment

Amendment of Minimum Wages Act to ensure universal coverage irrespective of the schedules and fixation of statutory minimum wage at not less than Rs.10,000/- linked with cost price Index.

Remove all ceilings on payment and eligibility of Bonus, Provident Fund; Increase the quantum of gratuity.

Assured Pension for all

Compulsory registration of trade unions within a period of 45 days and immediate atification of the ILO Conventions Nos. 87 and 98.

The National Convention adopts the following action programme to press for once again the above burning issues facing the working people:

Programme:

Stated/district/sector level Joint Conventions during September, October and November 2012

Satyagraha/Jail Bharo/Court Arrest on 18^th/ I9th December2012 in all the states through out the country

March to Parliament on 20th December2012 (mobilization by the unions from the states adjoining Delhi)

Countrywide Two Days General Strike on 20th and 21st February 2013.

The National Convention appeals to the working people of the country and their unions/federations irrespective of affiliations to respond in a massive way the call for countrywide united struggle and participate enmasse in the action programmes formulated by this all-in united platform of workers and employees to press for these vital demands embracing all sections of the toiling class.

To                                                                                                       

            Chief Executives of Constituent Organizations,

            Conveners of local JACS

 

Dear Comrades,

 

            The extended meeting of JAC was held in Delhi on 26^th July 2012 & took the following decisions;

 

            The meeting felt that all constituents of the JAC are passing through a state of dormancy and therefore the prime task of the JAC is to reactivate functioning of limbs of JAC i.e. the Apex as also local JAC. The Railway Accounts Association, whose representatives had proposed the programme of mass casual leave, withdrew this call and did not participate in this programme. Ever since then their participation in Apex JAC and local JACs has been affected. Whereas Postal Accounts authorities sanctioned Mass Cause Leave on 08/04/2010, the IA & AD administered heavy doze of victimization - 23000 charge sheets were issued which were withdrawn after extracting regrets from employees. Not only this the authorities are not granting permission even to hold G. B. meetings in most of the offices Heavy punishments have been imposed in Kerala and Hyderabad Units for organizing peaceful Dharnas, General Body meeting etc. This spree of victimization on account of total intolerance of IA & AD Administration towards collective functioning of employees Associations has severely demoralized the Audit and Accounts employees. This has affected the functioning of JAC in most of the centers.

 

            The other development noted by the meeting was the cadre reviews which are taking place in IA & AD & other Organized Accounts these days. It has been learnt that C & AG has finalized cadre review unilaterally and the All India Audit and Accounts Association/All India Audit & Accounts Officers Associations have merely been informed about their proposals. The All India Postal Accounts Employees Association is represented on the Joint Committee constituted by the All India Postal Department for cadre review. Accordingly the proposals submitted by the Postal Accounts Association which are based on Charter of Demands of JAC are being processed by the Joint Committee & the Postal Department. National Federation of Civil Accounts in the process of formulating its cadre review proposals based on charter of Demands of Apex JAC which are to be submitted to the C.G.A.

A)    If each Department is to undertake these reviews separately the result would be that traditional uniformity of cadre restructure now obtaining in IA & AD and other organized Accounts Establishment is likely to be dented.

B)    The meeting ratified the decisions of the Confederation to organize a days strike on 12.12.12 in support of the charter of demands & called upon all constituents of JAC & their Units to organize a campaign amongst their members to educate them on the contents of charter of demands i.e. what these demands are, why these demands have been raised & a need for direct action by which alone Government would be compelled to consider & settle these demands.

 

            Taking the above developments into account the meeting felt that Apex JAC should formulate the following two demands & mobilize the employees through a phased programmes of action in support of these demands and implement the call for strike on 12.12.12.

 

1)      Vacate victimization of Audit & Accounts employees & allow staff Association to undertake democratic functioning i.e. meetings & other peaceful collective protest actions.

2)      Appoint a Joint Committee of Officers & staff representatives of federations of IA & AD and other Organized Accounts & undertake cadre review.

 

The meeting decided that all constituents of the JAC should hold in next 3 months their working committee meetings in which representatives from each unit formation are invited to discuss & ratify the above twin demands & formulate their proposals for cadre review. The decisions of these CWC meetings may be intimated to the Apex JAC.

 

All constituents of JAC would direct their Units to elect/nominate their representatives (two in number) to man the local JAC which should be communicated to the Apex JAC through their Federation the Apex JAC shall then fix date of meeting of local JAC & nominate some leader from Apex JAC to attend that meeting & help revive the functioning of local JAC.

 

            The Apex JAC will meet Again in the months of November 2012 to consider the decisions taken by the CWC meetings of constituents of JAC and reports an campaigns launched in each centers (through State Committees of Confederations & local JAC) to mobilize & motivate C-G- employees to be on strike on 12.12.12.

 

With warm greetings,

Yours faithfully,
