Much Anticipated National Council JCM Staff Side Meeting Tomorrow
The National Council JCM
Staff Side meeting is going to take place tomorrow(12.10.2014) in New
Delhi. The meeting, to be attended by the representatives of all
federations, will be chaired by the Staff Side Secretary, Shiva Gopal
Mishra.
Important agendas of the meeting include
demanding a change in the attitude of the Central Government towards
the Central Government employees, merger of DA, granting interim relief and to hold discussions over the date of effect of the recommendations of the 7th CPC.
In the past, interim relief was granted
before the recommendations of the new Pay Commissions were implemented.
In the Fifth Pay Commission, it was recommended that whenever the DA
crosses 50%, it should be added to the basic pay. The recommendation was
accepted and in the year 2004, a 50% DA hike was added to the basic pay
of all Central Government employees. Therefore, interim relief was not granted during the 6th Pay Commission.
There were also a number of confusions
in the tenure of the Pay Commission, which had to be constituted once
every ten years. One Pay Commission was almost lost, as a result. To
make up for these errors, a demand has been presented to implement the
recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission from January 1, 2014 onwards.
Members of the National Council JCM
Staff Side, including Mr, C. Srikumar, Mr. S.N. pathak, Mr. J.R.
Bhonsale, Mr Raj Gopal and the association president, Mr. M Raghaviah,
attended the meeting that was held on September 14, 2014 at AIRF office,
under the leadership of Staff Side Secretary, Shiva Gopal Mishra, and
presented their views. It was decided at the meeting that further
debates will be conducted on important issues and decisions will be made
on 12.10.2014.
Tomorrow’s meeting attains prominence
due to the fact that representatives of all the employee associations
are going to participate and debate over some of the most eagerly
awaited issues.
