DRAFT LETTER TO BE GIVEN TO THE COLLECTOR/DISTRICT MAGISTRATE ON 2ND MARCH, 2015, AFTER RALLY IN ALL DISTRICTS

Dear Sir,

         We submit herewith a copy of the Declaration, the Convention of Central Government employees adopted on 11.12,.2014 at New Delhi, which seeks settlement of the ten point of charter of demands.  We request you to kindly forward the same to the Cabinet Secretary, Government of India, Rashtrapathy Bhawan Annex, New Delhi. 110 00 as he is the Chairman, National Council JCM, JCM was conceived as a platform to discuss and settle the common demands and grievances of the Central Government employees in the aftermath of the 1960 Indefinite Strike action. It was conceived as an instrument to avoid confrontation and strike action and bring about peaceful atmosphere taking into account that the majority of the Central Government employees (85%) are industrial/operational workers, covered under the Industrial Disputes Act. The atmosphere of a confrontation has now been created primarily due to the fact that the negotiating forum was made defunct for the past several years. The National Council of the JCM was met in 2010 last, whereas it sought to have met thrice in a year. The issues included in the charter of demands were the subject matter of bilateral discussion but no settlement was brought about. Our representatives were called in for a discussion by the Government as late as 25th February,. 2015, but no settlement on any issue was brought about..

 We are aware from our past experience that the Government would not consider the strike action of Central Government employees as a mere employer-employee conflict but would face them as a rebellion to its authority and suppress it by brutal force though the various State apparatuses. It is in this context, we deemed it necessary to apprise you of our grievances. . The enclosed declaration is self explanatory and we request you to kindly inform the Government of the growing discontent of the employees.

 Enclosure : Charter of demands:

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,
