Dated: I5th January, 2009.
The meeting of the National Executive of the Confederation was held at New Delhi today to
review the preparation for an indefinite strike action scheduled to commence
from 20th January, 2009. The meeting heard the Secretaries of the affiliated
Associations/Federations and Unions as also the secretaries of the Co-ordination
Committees. The Comrades who were deputed to attend the State level
Conventions also made their observations at the meeting. Most of the Speakers expressed
the need for further time to reach out the membership in far flung areas.
The meeting came to the conclusion that more intensive mobilization and campaign
programmes are needed to successfully carry out the strike action with full participation of the membership.
It was therefore decided not to commence the strike action from 20th January, 2009 but defer the same to a future date and carry out an intensified campaign amongst the mass of the employees. All affiliates will advise their State leadership to visit all branches and hold meetings to explain the Charter of Demands, educate and mobilise their employees for the eventual strike action.
Campaign material circulated by the Confederation (CHQ)
(available at its website: confederationhq.blogspot.com)
will be translated into vernacular and circulate amongst the members. The said campaign should be concluded by 15.02.2009. The National Executive will meet again in February to take further decision in the matter.
The representatives of the Confederation were to meet the Hon'ble Prime Minister today in a delegation with Com.Basudeb Acharya, MP to seek his intervention in bringing about a settlement of the Charter of Demands . This meeting could not take place due to the preoccupation of the Hon'ble Prime Minister. The meeting is likely to take place on 22nd January, 2009.
The copy of the letter addressed to the Cabinet Secretary to convey the decision of the National Executive is enclosed.
With greetings
Yours fraternally,
