we continue to fight for the rightful implementation of Regulation 82 across all regions.

 Dear Comrades,

It has come to our attention that the FCI management has stated that settlements made by unions during various wage revisions are intended to supersede Regulation 82. We want to make it clear that this position taken by the management is not only absurd but also cannot withstand judicial scrutiny, especially in light of the recent Supreme Court judgment in favor of Shri K. R. Pushpdharan of the FCI Kerala Region.

The Supreme Court has reaffirmed that Regulation 82 holds primacy and cannot be overridden by union settlements or any other agreements. This judgment serves as a strong precedent that ensures fairness and upholds the rights of all FCI employees. We urge all members to stay united and vigilant as we continue to fight for the rightful implementation of Regulation 82 across all regions.

Together, we will ensure that justice prevails and that no employee is denied their due rights.

In solidarity,

Gibin Varghese
