DRAFT LETTER TO BE GIVEN TO THE COLLECTOR/DISTRICT
MAGISTRATE ON 2ND MARCH, 2015, AFTER RALLY IN ALL DISTRICTS
Dear Sir,
We submit
herewith a copy of the Declaration, the Convention of Central Government
employees adopted on 11.12,.2014 at New Delhi, which seeks settlement of the
ten point of charter of demands. We request you to kindly forward the same to
the Cabinet Secretary, Government of India, Rashtrapathy Bhawan Annex, New
Delhi. 110 00 as he is the Chairman, National Council JCM, JCM was conceived as
a platform to discuss and settle the common demands and grievances of the
Central Government employees in the aftermath of the 1960 Indefinite Strike
action. It was conceived as an instrument to avoid confrontation and strike
action and bring about peaceful atmosphere taking into account that the
majority of the Central Government employees (85%) are industrial/operational
workers, covered under the Industrial Disputes Act. The atmosphere of a
confrontation has now been created primarily due to the fact that the
negotiating forum was made defunct for the past several years. The National
Council of the JCM was met in 2010 last, whereas it sought to have met thrice in
a year. The issues included in the charter of demands were the subject matter
of bilateral discussion but no settlement was brought about. Our
representatives were called in for a discussion by the Government as late as
25th February,. 2015, but no settlement on any issue was brought about..
We are aware from our past experience that the
Government would not consider the strike action of Central Government employees
as a mere employer-employee conflict but would face them as a rebellion to its
authority and suppress it by brutal force though the various State apparatuses.
It is in this context, we deemed it necessary to apprise you of our grievances.
. The enclosed declaration is self explanatory and we request you to kindly
inform the Government of the growing discontent of the employees.
Enclosure : Charter of demands:
Thanking you,
Yours
faithfully,
