NCCPA PRESENTS PENSIONERS ISSUES TO PAY COMMISSION

NCCPA PRESENTS PENSIONERS ISSUES TO PAY COMMISSION

NCCPA DELEGATION MET 

PAY COMMISSION ON 28-04-2015

On behalf of NCCPA we met the 7th Pay Commission on 28th April, 2015. The delegation consisted of five representatives viz., Pavitra Ranjan Chakraborty (Offg SG NCCPA); K.Ragavendran (GS AIPRPA); Y.Nagabhushanum (AP State GS AIPRPA); M.N.Reddy (Telengana State GS CGPA); and Sudhakar (Kerala State GS CGPA). Many issues of pensioners including Parity in Pension, Medicare, Discrimination to Postal and Telecom Pensioners, Additional Pension formula etc were discussed. There was a patient hearing to our presentation and was assured that many of these pensioner related issues are definitely under consideration and depending on govt budget constraints recommendations will form. But discrimination to postal pensioner is definitely under review of 7th CPC.

Meanwhile, we hear many rumours in the internet about the recommendations of Pay Commission including proposed Pay Scales etc. When we interacting with the pay commission  it was joked by the Joint Secretary of 7th CPC that people are flouting rumours about pay scales and other things in internet when even the Commission itself has not come to any final decision! AIPRPA CHQ cautions all our members not to give any credence to such rumours. Many of those rumours are only calculated guess by some netters like the one who recently flouted a duplicate DA order for 8%! Let us wait with patience as the CPC's allotted time expires on 31st August and the Commission may or may not seek extension of two months time.

Greetings of May Day

AIPRPA CHQ's MAY DAY GREETINGS 

May Day this year as always inspires all the workers and toiling people. The supreme sacrifices of leaders of May Day movement who were hanged to death by the US Government and the US Judiciary as well as many workers who sacrificed their lives to the brutal police firing in Hay Market Square in Chicago City formed the foundation of a strong working class movement all over the world. Let us salute those Martyres on this year May Day also.

The May Day this year comes in the wake of a larger unity of Indian Working Class against the intensification of the attacks by the Central Government in the form of attempted laws to snatch all the existing labour welfare laws and trade union rights. This May Day also unfolds with a clarion call by the Postal Joint Council of Action for an indefinite strike from May 6th against the retrograde recommendations of the Task Force headed by former Cabinet Secretary TSR Subramanian appointed by the Prime Minister to open the path for quick privatisation of Indian Postal Department. The Strike is also for seeking justice to Gramin Dak Sewaks so that they are included into the ambit of the 7th CPC. 

Let all the members of the AIPRPA befittingly hold May Day Programmes besides extending total solidarity to the striking Postal Employees through holding demonstrations during the indefinite strike.

General Secretary
