Agenda item No. 1. Review of the decisions last meeting:-

At the very outset, the meeting reviewed the decisions of last extended Federal Executive meeting held on 26^th July 2012 in Delhi. The performance of Civil Accounts Employees in the call of March to Parliament on 26^th July 2012 was reviewed by the meeting. It was observed by the meeting that the targeted number of participants set by the 5^th Federal Council meeting held at Pune on 15^th & 16^th June 2012 could not be achieved.  Altogether 400 participants were there against the targeted number of 600. No Branch except A. P. Branch could send the number of participants allotted. Some Branches/Stations/ Units did not depute a single person even. After detailed discussion, the house had concluded that, organizational weakness is the cause behind the inability of NFCAA to fulfill its quota. While expressing opinion in this respect the Federal Executive members and representatives of the Branches had mentioned about the financial constraint of the Branches on account of reduction in membership and also a general reluctance of the employees in the organizational activity.

            The meeting had unanimously decided to overcome the weakness and take corrective measures for improvement of the performance of the Civil Accounts Employees in the future activities.

Agenda item No:-2. Decision of Confederation - strike call on 12/12/2012 in support of 15 point charter of demands- preparation & implementation thereof.

            The meeting discussed the item at length. Com. K. K. N. Kutty, Secretary General, Confederation had attended the extended Federal Executive meeting and addressed the house.  Through his hour long speech, Com. Kutty explained the reasons for making the strike on 12^th December 2012 a success. He dealt on the core issues behind the 15 points Charter of Demands of confederation. It was explained by him that the charter of demands we have adopted is the product of the wrong and antiworker polices of the Government of India. Workers of this country are fighting  against the policies of the Government since 1991. We should make the strike on 12^th December 2012 a grand success so that we are able to create pressure on the Government. Com. Kutty appealed upon the leadership of NFCAA to take their best effort to make the strike on 12^th December 2012 a grand success.

            After the deliberations of Com. K.K. Kutty, the meeting formally endorsed the call of strike on 12^th December 2012 given by the Confederation and appealed upon the Civil Accounts Employees of the country to prepare, participate and make the strike a grand success in the Civil Accounts Organization.

As such the  appeal for opposition to e-payment system did not pick up its tempo and taking advantage of the situation, authorities have implemented the scheme in large numbers of pay and Accounts Offices.

Agenda item No: -6. Meeting with CGA- proposal regarding.

            To begin with, Secretary General reported the outcome of the discussion held with CGA on 4^th September 2012. It was observed by the meeting that  necessary action against some of the assurances given by CGA has been initiated by his office.  These are placing of transfer orders and other orders of general interests in the website of CGA, increase in the promotional quota for Sr. Accountants and repair of the official Accommodation provided to the Association etc.  However, assurances regarding undoing paycut imposed on a section of the employees by the CA, CBDT, Mumbai and a few more issues have not been implemented yet.

            The punitive measure imposed on one of the lady members of AICAEA CAT II by the ZAO, CBDT, Hyderabad for her participation in the General Strike on 28^th February 2012 was condemned by the extended Federal Executive meeting. The meeting directed the (a) Branch concerned to organize protest action against the local authorities and (b) Federation headquarters to take up the matter with the appropriate higher authorities.

            The meeting also reviewed the outcome of the discussion held with CCA, Home on 4^th July 2012. It was observed that, the authorities have taken an adamant stand of operating CCTV Cameras inside the office room of PAO, BSF, New Delhi ignoring the norms in vogue and the privacy of the employees working in the office. The meeting passed a Resolution protesting the adamancy and autocratic attitude of the authorities of Ministry of Home Affairs and forwarded the same to the authority concerned and the CGA demanding immediate removal of the CCTV Cameras from the office room. The meeting directed the Branch concerned to organize protest actions in this regard.

            The effect of lateral induction of the persons encadred in the Civil Accounts Organization from PAO, SSB, PAO, BSF and PAO, CRPF was considered by the meeting. It was agreed by the meeting that such type of lateral induction into the cadre is bound cause harm to the seniority of existing employees of the organization. But the meeting also noted that, large number of persons alongwith their posts have come to the organization and hence the effect of their lateral induction would be insignificant. The meeting therefore, decided not to raise the issue any further in the greater interest and unity of the Civil Accounts Employees. 

            As regards fixing of meeting with CGA, the meeting of the Federal Executive authorized Federation Headquarters to take early necessary action. The meeting also directed Federation Headquarters to reorient/ reformulate the Charter of Demands with inclusion of Cadre review and opposition to e-payment and through drooping of some of the issues stands settled or could be settled through writing letters.

Agenda Item No. 7 Implementation of decision of 5^th Federal Council meeting.

A review report of the decisions taken in the 5^th Federal Council meeting held at Pune on 15^th and 16^th of June 2012 was placed by the Secretary General. It was observed that review of many decisions had been done while dealing with various agenda items of the meeting. It was however observed that the decisions regarding improvement of functions of organization, fund position and organizational tours for revival of defunct Branches etc were not effectively implemented.

 As regards visit different stations is concerned, only a few Federal Executive Members implemented the decisions.  Although Bihar, Odisha and Jharkhand were visited jointly by both Secretary Generals, Branches have come to existence in Odisha only.

Agenda Item No.  8. Review of Organizational position.

            It was observed by the meeting that, at some stations Branches do not exist. From Patna the subscription for AICAEA CAT II is coming but no subscription is coming from the membership of AICAEA. No Branch exists in Bihar. More or less similar situations are prevailing at various other states/stations like Punjab, Jharkhand, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Madya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. The Branch in Delhi has gone defunct. . the newly formed West Delhi and Southend Branch are functioning despite limitations.  Units of some of the Branches like Karnataka, Nashik are paying subscription and implementing the directives of the organization but not sending their representatives to the national level meetings. Units of few Branches like Rajasthan Branch have been paying subscription but not taking part in any activities due to inertness of the branch leadership.

The Nagpur Federal Executive Meeting held on 22^nd March 2012 had appealed upon the members to contribute. Rs. 200/- from the arrears of enhanced qualification pay for sharing by units- (Rs. 50/), branches (Rs.50/-), Central Headquarters of AICAEA (Rs.100/-) and Fede- ration Headquarters (20% of total amount accumulated in Headquarters of AICAEA) and Rs. 500/- from the arrear due to grant of increment before pay fixation under revised pay from 01-01-2006 for sharing by units (Rs. 100/-), Branches (Rs.200/-), Central Headquarters of AICAEA (Rs. 100/-), federation headquarters (20% of total amount accumulated in headquarters of AICAEA) and Rs.100/- could be remitted to Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers).

Rest is yet to respond. However, some of the Federal Executive members have reported that, collections have already been started in their Branches.

The meeting requested all units/ members to remit their due contributions immediately and directed the Branches to send the share of Central Headquarters within 15^th November 2012.

In the meeting for formation of Reception Committee Secretary General shall be invited.

Thereafter the meeting was declared over by the President with request of implementing the decisions of the meeting whole heartedly. .

Dear Comrades,

 

It is one of the demands of ours that the Circulars/Orders issued by the CGA office should be uploaded in the website of the CGA so that every one could be aware of, and get first hand information on the happenings at the CGA office.

As soon as the new CGA has assumed office and as assured by him in the meeting held with him on 4rh September 2012, orders are being posted on the CGA site itself.  We thank the CGA and his administration for his efforts in this regard. We are hopeful that this practice would ever be continued.

Some of the members might have noted that on 19th October 2012, CGA office has published combined seniority list of Sr. Accountants for consideration AS AAOs against the 10% promotional quota.  

(Ref: http://cga.nic.in/pdf/CombSeniorityListAccountants16102012.pdf)

By close scrutiny of the same, it may be noted that some of the Ministries/Departments have been left out from the list. Non-inclusion of names of Sr. Accountants of left out offices has made the list an incomplete document. This fact has been acknowledged in the OM itself by the CGA  Office which says that datas have been compiled on the basis of the informations  received by them and it is a provisional one only.

So it is suggested that those Sr. Accountants  who have rendered 10 years of service in the grade and who have crossed 53 years of age on 01.01.2012  and whose names have been left  out in the list,  may  immediately submit their service details, as per the Statement enclosed along with the list of names published by the CGA. Members concerned are also requested that as soon as they become aware about the non inclusion of their name, despite their eligibility, they should submit the details immediately through proper channel with copies to respective Unit/Branch Secretaries by quoting the OM of the CGA cited above, .

We request all the  Federal Executive/ Women Committee members/ Branch/Unit  Committee members to ensure that no office or no eligible Sr. Accountant is left out in this process.

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.
