Opinion Poll Says- Boycott of FCI golden jubilee celebrations was a historical blunder


Dear Comrades., Majority of the FCI Employees expressed their opinion that boycott of FCI golden jubilee celebrations was a historical blunder. Nothing have achieved as part of FCI golden jubilee boycott in 2014. Instead such boycott has collapsed our organisation. It has created a bad image in public about our organisation. In 2019 The same leadership again compelled many category III&IV Employees to boycott IR. Unfortunately some of them became part of their illogical campaign. At the same time many employees got wage revision interim relief (IR) with arrears because of our right direction. Senior employees got approx 50,000 as arrears and others got 25000 approx as arrears and 10 % of basic pay added to their current salary. It also came to notice that non unionised category II officers who are drawn their revised salary with arrears for the sake of their union politics threatened many category Iii & Iv Employees to boycott IR. The leadership of BKNK Sangh was compelled and written to the union Minister that the majority of their members are decided to boycott golden jubilee Celebrations of Food Corporation of India during 2014. Further it was proved that the decision of their leadership was illogical.  
These one trade one union leaders Un democratic approach towards trade unions and underground dealings with management collapsed our organisation as well as the future of FCI Employees.
Since these retired and non unionised leaders being in power we cannot achieve best benefits for category III &Iv Employees. Therefore we request the young employees utilize the upcoming trade union election to cast their vote for a change. Already management started issuing ID card if any body don't have FCI ID card apply for it at the earliest. Your vote is for your future. Remember it.

NEW YEAR MESSAGE FROM GS FCI EA CITU

 NEW YEAR MESSAGE 
Dear comrades..,
On behalf of all members and supporters of this Association, we hereby convey and send revolutionary greetings to the entire FCI Employees and their families for the New Year 2019. The attack on farmers, working class, public sector employees are mounting day by day. We have to intensify our struggle on 2019 to safeguard farmers, our organisation & for our survival. As you all well aware that the Food Corporation of India Operations is based on Subsidy received from GoI. But the Subsidy received every year by FCI was lower than claimed for from the GoI. After analysing the last five-year subsidy report from GOI it is found that on an average, only 67 per cent of subsidy claimed was released by the GoI over the last five years because of which FCI had to borrow from other costlier means of finance. Also, as you know that the implementation of wage revision is due w.e.f 1-1-2017. Today, the delay has crossed 24 Months, i.e two years. We understand that the current young FCI Category III & IV employees are welcomed this New Year with grave displeasure due to non-implementation of most awaited wage revision.
Comrades, a joint negotiating committee lead by category III &IV employees of major three unions is the basic requirement for a fair wage revision for FCI workmen. Since the beginning of the process from all our efforts are taken place to form such a joint negotiating committee. As on 31.03.2018, the total Cat. III & IV in position is 14556 + 2533 = 17089 out of the Sanction Strength of 34706. The vacancy position is 12789 + 4828 = 17617. i.e. Total vacancy of workmen as on 31.03.2018 is 50.76%. If we take the latest figures the men in position as on 31-12-18 are below 48%.
Comrades, the sanctioned strength has been so drastically reduced by last 15 years. Now, the Govt. authoritatively dictates the terms of wage settlement for implementation of negotiated wages, without any budgetary support of the Govt and the entire financial implication is to be bourne from the internal resources. Therefore Management is planning some underground gimmicks to surrender the existing vacancies to implement wage revision. Being a responsible union we cannot entertain this and surrendering vacancies for wage revision is not at all a remedy for good wage revision. Intensify the class struggle is the only remedy to achieve a good wage revision.
Comrades, Our policy are Unity among the employees and unions to defeat Anti Policies of GoI and FCI Management. Our permanent enemies are Anti Employees and Anti Working Class Policies of GoI and FCI Management. We do battles with the neoliberal policies offensives unleashed by of GoI and FCI management against the farmers, working peoples, trade unions and their hard-won rights.
Comrades, we sincerely register our thanks to everyone for their immense support to our trade union movements in 2018. And In 2019 together we can march forward with full commitment and determination to achieve the best for the future of working class. There is no alternative to the struggle for existence.
Working Class unity Zindabad...
Yours Fraternity,
Gibin Varghese
General Secretary
