Dear Comrade,
The Central JCA met on 11th October, 2009.The Secretariat of the ITEF and the Managing Committee of the ITGOA had met earlier. The Joint Convenors presented the view points emerged from these meeting for the consideration of the Central JCA meeting. The Central JCA meeting was attended by all the Sectt. Members of the ITEF and the Managing Committee members of ITGOA. The meeting discussed the outcome of negotiations the JCA leaders had with the Chairman, CBDT and Member ( Personnel) on 8th September, 2009 which led to the postponement of the strike action slated for 9th September, 2009. Taking into account the views expressed by the comrades who participated in the discussion at the Central JCA meeting, the following decisions were taken.
1. Taking into account the views expressed by some of the comrades at the meeting, it was decided to take up the following two issues independently by the respective Federations and accordingly to remove those demands from the charter.
(a) Implementation of the Supreme Court decision in the matter of interse seniority of Inspectors ;
(b) Universal application of the ratio laid down by the Court in the case of Shri Shukla.
2. In the background of the continuing procrastination on the part of the Board and the Department of Expenditure it was decided to organize the one day strike action in the last week of November, 2009. The exact date will be finalized in consultation with the Organisations in the Central Excise and Customs Departments.
3. The issues included in the 9 point charter of demands would be negotiated jointly.
4. The struggle will be further intensified in case our just demands are not positively considered by the Board.
5. Protest demonstrations would be organized as and when the Board authorities visit the field offices to convey the discontent of the employees over the inordinate delay in settling demands.
The revised charter of demands is enclosed.
With greetings,
Yours fraternally,
Ashok Salunkhe & Rajesh Menon
Joint Convenors
