ATTENTION .. ALL CATEGORY III-IV FCI EMPLOYEES.DON'T BE PART OF ILLOGICAL BOYCOTT  CAMPAIGN

 CONTINUE OBSERVANCE OF WORK TO RULE AGITATION WITH HIGH SPIRIT

Comrades, FCI management has unilaterally announced IR, We have a strong protest on that and we will express it through our future struggles in FCI HQ. We assure that we will make it a grand success and we request your co-operation.

The details of the program will be intimated shortly.

Dear comrades, we cannot forget the recent past which still beats inside of us.

It was January, 2014 when the Golden Jubilee Celebration of FCI was proposed to be held by the Ministry. The announcement and thereby implementation of DCPS and PRMS as per the MOS dated 01.04.2018, other assured benefits along with a memento of Gold Coin to each and every workmen in celebration of the Golden Jubilee of FCI were in the programme schedule. But there was a boycott campaign against the said programme at the call of one so-called majority union, and that too at the behest of a section of vested interests amongst themselves.

The occasion was scheduled to be graced by the Hon’ble President of India, Shi Pranab Mukherjee, who happened to be the Finance Minister of India (2009-12) in 2010 when our wage proposal (MOU) with financial implications wad approved and the MOS was accordingly signed. But due to the thoughtlessness and lack of prudence of the so-called leadership of the said union who called for boycott of that Golden Jubilee programme, the entire programme was cancelled and we lost the opportune moment of seeking intervention of the President of India in the matter of implementation of the MOS in true letter and spirit.

Thereafter consequent upon our continuous efforts, struggles at the various level under the banner of Joint Action Council lead by Dr A Sampath MP, we could achieve to implement the Defined Contribution Pension and Post Retirement Medical Schemes w.e.f 1-12-2008 and w.e.f 1-4-2016 receptively  instead of 01.01.2007.

In the name of review/scrutiny by newly appointed COS, the award of the MOS date 01.04.2010, duly approved by the previous Government after necessary financial concurrence was mysteriously changed later while determining the date of giving effect of PRMS and DCPS which was categorically specified as 01.01.2007. As a result, we have lost the awarded benefits of 23 months’ FCI-Contribution on DCPS @10% and 111 months’ on PRMS @ 3.83% amounting to total loss of about Rs.1000 crores in both funds as on date.

At this predicament, we remind you that, these entire financial losses have never and ever taken up at appropriate levels by these so-called leadership who were the Signatories of MOS dated 1-4-2010 and had given the call for boycott the Golden Jubilee Celebration earlier.

In FCI, the young category III & IV Employees who are the pillar of the organisation has over-burdened with these financial losses and their career has decelerated by these vested elements.

Now, it may be understood that Management has released orders for PLI and Interim Relief (IR). But considering the deep frustration prevailing in FCI Employees, some vested interests on behalf of their union have given the call for boycott of PLI and Interim Relief (IR) without any Future remedy or vision.

The Central Committee of this Association vehemently condemns such infantile call and request all employees to defeat the hidden agenda of the Management and their puppets and their conspiracy against your wages and allowances, financial security and overall interest.

Boycotting/refusing PLI or IR will never bring any positive result as you are aware that the chairman of FCI is already relieved from this corporation and the Lok-Sabha may dissolve very soon.

The acceptance of IR/PLI will definitely and lawfully register our rights and claims for Wage Revision as well as PLI which are already due.

The new Ministry after election will legally have the obligation to implement our wage revision w.e.f 1-1-2017 since IR shall be effected from 01.01.2017.

As a responsible trade union, we cannot propagate lies or spread any Gimmick like these puppets of the Management.

We rather ask you to accept the IR/PLI ‘on protest’. We strongly believe in united movements and struggles.

You may be aware that the CWC employees have also accepted the IR and they are on rightful path of struggle for wage revision.

Comrades, we are confident that our highly qualified youth comrades will definitely understand the circumstances and continue observance of work to rule agitation called by us with full spirit.

We convey our strong message to comrades that don’t bother about IR, and only concentrate to strengthen our struggles and agitation demanding wage revision.

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it 

Our future programme of agitation/movement will be intimated shortly.

Red Salute comrades...Working Class unity Zindabad....

Yours Fraternity
