Nearly Ten lakhs
Central Government employees took part in the one day token strike today, the
12thDecember, 2012 on the call of the Confederation of
Central Government employees and workers, paralyzing the governmental functions
in various departments throughout the country. The strike was to protest against the
continued efforts of the Government to enact the PFRDA Bill, whereby the
existing defined benefit pension of Government employees is sought to be
converted into a defined contributory pension scheme. Every reason, the
Government advanced at the time of the introduction of the new scheme is found
to be incorrect and misleading by the Experts Committee set up by the
Government itself.
Besides, the
employees had been demanding wage revision by setting up the 7th Central Pay Commission, filling up large
number of vacant posts, regularization of the service of Grameen Dak
Sewaks/Casual/daily-rated workers, revival of the negotiating machinery i.e.
JCM, removal of restrictions on compassionate appointments, introduction of
Public Distribution system to arrest the ever increasing prices of essential
commodities, stoppage of outsourcing, contractorisation, privatization etc.
As per the report
received the strike was total in Assam, Tripura, West Bengal, Orissa, Andhra
Pradesh, Tamilnadu, Kerala, Chattisgarh, Jharkhand and beyond 80% in
Maharashtra, Karnataka, U.P. Bihar, and about 60% in other States. The Postal, Income tax, Groundwater
Board departments came to a grinding halt in all States, as the offices could not be opened at
all. In Income tax Department, the promotee officers also joined the strike
paving way of a complete closure. Many
establishments of Atomic Energy, Printing and Stationery, Defence accounts,
Medical Depots, Audit and Accounts Departments,
Civil Accounts, CGHS, Indian Bureau of Mines, Directorate of Marketing
Inspection, Geological Survey of India, Archaeological and Botanical Survey of India etc.
remained closed.
The organizers of the
Strike have asserted that they will make the general strike of workers slated
for 20thand 21st February, 2013 a grand success by enlisting
participation of all
sections of the Central Government employees.
The Confederation
will strive to organize an indefinite strike in pursuance of the 15 point
charter of demands in 2013 if no settlement is brought about by the Government
by then.
