DELAY IN
ANNOUNCEMENT OF DA CONDUCT NATIONWIDE DEMONSTRATIONS ON 23rd APRIL-2013.
CONFEDERATION CALLS FOR A STRONG PROTEST AGAINST THE INORDINATE
DELAY IN GRANTING 8% DA TO CG EMPLOYEES BY GOVERNMENT
No.
Conf/27 /2013 - Dated 17th April 2013
Comrades,
DELAY IN GRANT OF DA - HOLD PROTEST DEMONSTRATION ON 23RD APRIL 2013
Since the implementation of the
recommendations of the 4th central
pay commission in 1986, the Dearness Allowance (DA) is paid in two six-monthly
installments – in March and September of every year. The practice followed
since then is that the order granting DA to government employees is issued in
March and September itself.
This time the practice in force since
1986 is violated. Our enquiries with concerned Ministries informed us that the
file is already moved for Cabinet approval. But it is nearly a month now. The
cabinet has found no time to take a decision on this.
This naturally is quiet disturbing,
especially in the time of galloping price line. The employees have, in the
past, fought bitterly for grant of DA and the 3rd CPC gave a definite formula for DA in
the aftermath of the one day strike on 19th September 1968. We cannot allow the
hard won DA to be tampered with.
Confederation has written to Prime
Minister conveying the disquiet amongst the amongst the employees over the
inordinate delay in the grant of additional installment of DA due from 1st January 2013 and urging the Prime
Minister to take immediate steps to assuage the feelings of the employees. Copy
of the letter is given along with this Circular.
The Secretariat of Confederation
therefore calls upon every affiliate as well as State Committee of
Confederation to organise lunch hour demonstration in the work place on 23rd April 2013, Tuesday and send the
following telegram to the Prime Minister of India.
TEXT OF TELEGRAM:
EMPLOYEES AGITATED OVER DELAY IN GRANT OF DA, URGE TO EXPEDITE ISSUANCE OF
ORDERS.
Each affiliate and State Committee of
Confederation may send a detailed report on implementation of the programme in
their organisation/state to the Confederation CHQ.
With greetings
Yours fraternally
