We decided in the CWC at NGP held on 30th and 31st Aug 2015 to stage an indefinite fast before the Railway Board in the month of December 2015 on demands of the implementation High Power Committee recommendations on duty hours, rest, night duty, periodical rest, with modification suggested by AILRSA along-with implementation of minutes of Railway Officers’ meeting on SPAD, review the measure of punishment on SPAD and implementation of High Level Safety Review Committee.
You are aware that the intensive classification of loco running staff declared by the RLC, Madurai and upheld by the Secretary, Ministry of Labour (Appellate Authority) has been challenged by the Railway in High court of Chennai and other issues like Grade Pay, Running allowance, Onerous duty allowance to all, etc pending before the National Industrial Tribunal, Mumbai. The PR of 46 hours as ordered by the RLC/SBC has been approved by the High court of Bangalore but still the Railway Board has not issued any order for implementation. A contempt petition was filed in High court. We are pursuing all these processes vigorously and we expect a favourable outcome too.
We are expecting the submission of 7th CPC before January 2016. Whether our submission before the 7th CPC has been conceded or not is to be known only after the publishing of 7th CPC report.
At this stage therefore we confined our demand, that the Ministry of Railway should accept / implement the recommendations of the HPC 2013, with due consideration of the modifications as suggested by us along-with some other vital demands. In order to press our demand the CWC decided to submit a petition to the Petition Committee, Lok Sabha and simultaneously hold a 36 hours fast before the Railway Board commencing on 14th December 2015, modifying the decision of indefinite fast.
