Respected Sir/Madam,

Sub: Non-settlement of genuine demands of the Central Government Employees

More than 32 lakh Central Government Employees working in various ministries of the Government of India, including Railways, Postal, Defence (Ordnance Factory and other Civilian Employees), Central Secretariat, Income Tax, Audit & Accounts and other employees of the government departments are aggrieved since long on non-settlement of their various demands.

The report of the VII CPC has further made them aggrieved because of the retrograde recommendations, including non-scientific calculation of Minimum Wage and Fitment Formula. The issue of National Pension Scheme(NPS) had been very heart burning for more than 1.1 million young Central Government Employees who have been deprived from the Defined Pension/Family Pension and we are agitating this issue with the Central Government since its inception.

Under the above compelled circumstances, the National Joint Council of Action has taken a decision to go on “Indefinite Strike” from 06:00 a.m. on 11th July, 2016.

The Central Government Employees of this country have always stood for the development and good governance of the country, but do feel de-motivated because of the inaction on their pending demands.

We do have written to Hon’ble Prime Minister of India vide letter No.NC/JCM/2016/CS/PM dated 14.06.2016 (copy enclosed for ready reference) with the request that the government should immediately come forward for negotiated settlement with the NC/JCM on the demands of the Central Government Employees to avoid unnecessary confrontation.

We earnestly hope that, you will kindly lay your hands and support us in our struggle as well as put pressure on the Government of India for resolution of our genuine demands at an earliest.

Yours faithfully,
