STATEMENT
Central Government has announced the
constitution of 7th Central Pay Commission. Confederation of Central
Government Employees & Workers has been raising this demand before the
Government right from 2011 onwards and has conducted series of agitational
programmes including Parliament March and one day nationwide strike on
12th December 2012.
While welcoming the decision of the
Government, we are disappointed to note that our demand for five years wage
revision w.e.f. 01.01.2011 and merger of DA has not been considered favourably
by the Government. When the public sector employees are given five years wage
revision and the erosion in real wages has reached an all time high due to steep
price rise, grant of five year wage revision to Central Government employees is
fully justified. Similarly every time the Government appointed pay commission
merger of DA was also granted. This time Government has not acceded the demand
for merger of DA with pay now. Thus by appointing pay commission employees will
not be getting any financial benefit now. The demand for inclusion of Gramin Dak
Sevaks under the purview of the 7th CPC and grant of merger of DA to
GDS is also pending.
In view of the above, the National
Secretariat of the Confederation of Central Government Employees and workers
urge upon the Government to consider the above demands also favourably failing
which the confederation shall be constrained go for further agitational
programmes.
