PFRDA BILL
LISTED IN THE AGENDA OF THE CURRENT SESSION OF THE PARLIAMENT
CONFEDERATION CALLS UPON THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT
EMPLOYEES TO ORGANIZE TWO HOURS WALK-OUT PROGRAMME ON THE DAY WHEN THE BILL IS
TAKEN UP FOR DISCUSSION
IN PARLIAMENT
As you are aware, Central
Government is going ahead with their agenda on pension privatization. The
controversial PFRDA Bill (Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority
Bill) is listed as an agenda item for the current Parliament session. The bill
may be taken up for discussion in Parliament on any day. Confederation of
Central Government Employees & Workers has opposed the Contributory Pension
Scheme and also the PFRDA Bill from the very beginning.
We have conducted so many
agitational programmes including strike. The left parties in the parliament
have also strongly opposed the Bill. Inspite of the opposition from employees
(both Central Government and State Government Employees & Teachers) and
also from left political parties, the Central Government is not ready to
withdraw the contributory Pension scheme or to scrap the PFRDA Bill.
The National Secretariat of the
Confederation has viewed the move of the Government with grave concern and
decided to call upon the entirety of the Central Government Employees &
Workers to organize mass protest demonstration in front of all offices throughout
the country after walking out from
offices for two hours, on the day when the bill is taken up for discussion
in Parliament or on the next day if information is received late.
All India office bearers, State
level COCs and other COCs are requested to make the two hours walk out
programme a grand success.
