Dear Comrades,
CONFEDERATION
OF CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES & WORKERS
(Central Head
Quarters)
1st
Floor, North Avenue Post office Building, New Delhi - 110001
Dated – 25.09.2013
PRESS 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.
