7th CPC TOR and its Implications

Comrades,
                  First of all I thank you on behalf of Circle union for making the 12th &13th Feb strike a success, which has made the Central Government a rethink on major issues of the Central Government, the initial stand  of the Central Government as per the press statement  issued by Hon'able   Finance Minster on 25th September 2013 that the date of effect of the 7th CPC shall be from 1/1/2016, hence no IR and no proposal from the Central Government on DA merger.

                After the 12th &13th Feb strike in which lakhs of Central Government Employees participated in strike, the  Central Government  had to rethink on these issues. The Union Cabinet meeting has approved the terms of reference of the 7th CPC, if we go through it we find the 7th CPC can submit its interim report on DA merger, IR, Allowances, etc. The date of  effect of the 7th CPC is to be fixed by the 7th Central Pay Commission itself.

             Two main demands of the Central Government  Employees   have not been accepted that is one on GDS inclusion in 7th CPC and other on health scheme.        

              Now comrades it is clear we have won a half battle, many more joint struggles of Central Government employees are required to achieve our demands.

Comradely yours
