OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject : Notice for strike by the Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers on 12th and 13th February, 2014.

The undersigned is directed to intimate that the Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers have given notice that the members of the affiliates of these Confederation will go on strike on 12th and 13th February, 2014 in pursuance of their Charter of Demands.

2. The instructions issued by the Department of Personnel & Training prohibit the Government servants from participating in any form of strike including mass casual leave, go-slow etc, or any action that abet any form of strike in violation of Rule 7 of the CCS (Conduct) Rules, 1964. Besides, in accordance with the proviso to Rule 17 (1) of the Fundamental Rules, pay and allowances is not admissible to an employee for his absence from duty without any authority. As to the concomitant rights of an Association after it is formed, they cannot be different from the rights which can be claimed by the individual members of which the Association is composed. It follows that the right to form an Association does not include any guaranteed right to strike. There is no statutory provision empowering the employees to go on strike. The Supreme Court has also agreed in several judgments that going on a strike is a grave misconduct under the Conduct Rules and that misconduct by the Government employees is required to be dealt with in accordance with the law. Any employee going on strike in any form would face the consequences which, besides deduction of wages, may also include appropriate disciplinary action. In this connection, your kind attention is also drawn to this Department’s OM No. 33012/1(s)/2008-Estt (B) (pt) dated 12th September, 2008 (copy enclosed).

3. A Joint Consultative Machinery for Central Government employees is already functioning. This scheme has been introduced with the object of promoting harmonious relations and of securing the greatest measure of co operation between the Government, in its capacity as employer, and the general body of its employees in matters of common concern, and with the object, further of increasing the efficiency of the public service. The JCM at the different levels have been discussing issues brought before it for consideration and either reaching amicable settlement or referring the matter to the Board of Arbitration in relation to pay and allowances, weekly hours of work and leave, whenever no amicable settlement could be reached in relation to these items.

4. The Central Government Employees under your Ministry/Departments may, therefore, be suitably informed of the aforesaid instructions under the Conduct Rules issued by this Department and other regulations upheld by the Hon’ble Supreme Court and dissuaded from resorting to strike in any form. You may also issue instructions not to sanction Casual Leave or other kind of leave to employees if applied for, during the period of the proposed strike and ensure that the willing employees are allowed hindrance free entry into the office premises. For this purpose, Joint secretary (Admn) may been trusted with the task of coordinating with security personnel. Suitable contingency plan may also be worked out to carry out the various functions of the Ministry/Department.

5. In case the employees go on strike, a report indicating the number of employees who took part in the proposed strike may be conveyed to this Department on the evening of the day.

Subject: Stepping up of pay of the senior with reference to the revised pay of juniors applicability of Notes 7 & 10 below Rule 7 (1) of CCS (RP) Rules, 2008.

Several references have been received from some of the Factories as well as Br. AOs seeking clarification for stepping up of pay to the senior Fireman at par with their juniors appointed on or after 1.1.2006 in terms of Ministry of Defence I D No.11(4)/2008/D (Civ-I) dtd 06-05-2011.

The matter was taken up with the OFB for preparation of common seniority list in respect of Firemen grade to fulfill one of the conditions stated in the ibid MOD order.

The OFB after repeated reminders has intimated that the seniority of the Fireman grade in OF Organisation is maintained locally at the Factory Level. The Staff Side has also agreed in the JCM Level-III to continue present system of maintaining seniority of the Fireman grade at the Factory level as the these employees are not susceptible to transfer from one Factory to another Factory.

The availability of element of Direct Recruitment, the other condition stated in the above MOD order 6.5.2011, has been provided in the SRO-32 of 4.5.2012.

Keeping in the view of the above, this office is of opinion that the benefit of steeping up may be extended to the senior Firemen in those factories where a junior Fireman appointed on or after 1.1.2006 is actually drawing higher pay than his senior provided the senior and the junior belongs to the same seniority list maintained in the concerned Fy. The benefit will not be admissible in the grade of Leading Fireman as in that grade the element of direct recruitment is not available.

P C of A (Fys) has been consulted.
