Dear Comrades,

OBSERVE UNITED ACTION DAY ON 18^TH DECEMBER 2014

BY WEARING BLACK BADGE AND HOLDING PROTEST DEMONSTATION

            Despite our all efforts, the Civil Accounts Authorities of CBEC set up have not shown any inclination to address the grievances of the employees and long pending demands. Rather they have been persuing adamant attitude towards the employees and their issues.

            The NFCAA headquarters vide its letter dated 05.12.2014  (copy attached) had once again requested Pr. CCA, CBEC to resolve the problems through mutual dialogue so that existing congenial atmosphere could continue. But, the Pr. CCA, CBEC preferred to ignore the request. The fact of the request made to Pr. CCA, CBEC was also brought to the knowledge of higher authorities like Secretary, Department of Revenue and the CGA. But, no favourable response has been received from them so far.

            Under the above circumstances, we are having no alternative but to go ahead with the organizational actions. It has been decided that, 18^th of December 2014 shall be observed as united action day throughout the country. On this day all Civil Accounts Employees shall wear Black Badge and hold demonstrations in front of the CBEC Units of the station. A Resolution shall also be adopted in the place of demonstration and it shall be forwarded to the CGA, the Secretary, Department of Revenue, the Principal CCA, CBEC and all others concerned. A delegation of demonstrators shall submit one copy of the Resolution to the local head of office of CBEC too.

            The text of the Badge is furnished below. Branches may print required number of Badges and distribute those among the members alongwith a Hand Bill, the draft of which is annexed to this Circular.

·           WE PROTEST AGAINST ·   DOWNSIZING OF CBEC SETUP ·   HARASSMENT TO EMPLOYEES ·   NON SETTLEMENT OF LONG PENDING 20 POINT DEMANDS

            The Resolution to be adopted during demonstration is furnished elsewhere in the circular for necessary action by Branches.

APPEAL

LONG LIVE                                                    WORKERS UNITY

Dear Comrades,

        For more than one and a half year the AICAEA and the AICAEA Cat-II have been requesting the Civil Accounts authorities of CBEC to settle the long pending issues of the Civil Accounts Employees. But instead of settling any of the issues, they are targeting and harassing the representatives of the Association.

Not to speak of any other issues like transfer, promotion and other important issues, they have not even paid the TA/DA to the employees performed election duties in the last Assembly and Lok Shaba elections.

 Our earlier CCAs and Pr. CCAs had taken lots of pain to expand the Setup. But the present Pr. CCA, CBEC has taken the move of diluting their services by downsizing the department on the basis of his self devised SIU Norm and also closing down the offices at different places.  While doing so he has neither taken CGA in to confidence nor discussed with the Association which is the norm prescribed by the Government of India.

          The National Federation of Civil Accounts Employees Associations has taken repeated attempts to discuss the issues across the table and settle them. But the Pr. CCA, CBEC preferred to ignore the request of the Associations.

        In view of such a situation, the Associations are having no other way but to resort to protest action and accordingly, it has been decided that 18^th December 2014 shall be observed as united protest day on which all the employees shall wear Black Badge and hold lunch hour demonstration.

          ALL OF YOU ARE REQUESTED TO WEAR THE BLACK BADGE AND TAKE PART IN THE DEMONSTATION ON 18TH DECEMBER 2014 AND MAKE THE PROGRAMMES SUCCESSFUL.
