Central employees to march Parliament on 28th, demand scrapping of NPS, merger of DA
Central Government employees have
decided to hold a demonstration near Parliament on April 28 for bringing
to notice their long-pending demands such as scrapping of the new
pension scheme, merger of dearness allowance, and putting a stop to
outsourcing, among others.
According to a release, the
demonstration would press the long-pending demands of Central Government
employees including scrapping the New Pension Scheme (NPS), merger of
dearness allowance (DA) in Pay, redressal of pending anomalies of the
Sixth Central Pay Commission, interim relief, scrapping foreign direct
investment, and public private partnership schemes, filling of
vacancies, stopping outsourcing, enhancement of the limit of bonus, and
on the other side various amendments in labour laws, among others.
On the call of the National Joint
Council of Action (NJCA), the Convener of NCJCA Shiva Gopal Mishra said
in a release various associations will participate in the demonstration
including the All-India Railway Men’s Federation, the National
Federation of Indian Railwaymen, the All-India Defence Employees’
Federation, the Indian National Defence Workers’ Federation, the
National Federation of Postal Employees’ Federation, the Federation of
National Postal Organisation, and the Confederation of Central
Government Employees. Besides, some state employees will also
participate in the demonstration.
Mishra further said if the Government
does not take the “united movement seriously” to resolve the issues,
they would be forced to take precipitate action for which the Centre
would be responsible.
