GENERAL SECRETARY WROTE LETTER TO FCI CHAIRMAN AND BOD MEMBERS EXPRESSING PROTEST AGAINST CADRE MERGING

Food Corporation of India Management proposed restructuring of cadres by merging Movement, General & Depot cadre in all I, II & III Categories. The Central Committee of this Association infer that the proposal is placed in consonance with the observations of McKinsey & HLC Observations, with a view to reduce the sanctioned strength of staff in FCI. Hence we vehemently oppose this proposal. Merging of Depot, movement and General Cadre will result in the downsizing of FCI staff strength.

Also, it is really shocking because the Management could silently place the said proposal in BOD without consulting the Trade Unions and asking their opinion on such proposal having a serious bearing on the working conditions of FCI Staff. This is a gross violation of the basic norm of Industrial Relations and the Central Committee of FCI Employees Association hereby lodges its protest against such violation. By stating these details FCI Employees Association (CITU) General Secretary issued a letter to FCI Chairman and BoD Members requesting to drop this proposal. 

It came to our notice that like many decisions in the past, the management decided this without giving it much thought. The issue had been there for the past 10 years but nobody took a call fearing the protest from Trade Unions. Now it is learned that Considering the full support of recognized union through Wage Revision MOU dated 1-2-2019 clause No.16 management is dared to take this kind of decisions even without consulting trade unions. However, it will be difficult to implement considering the protest from other unions. 

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.
