ALL INDIA LOCO RUNNING STAFF ASSOCIATION

AT LAST LIGHT AT THE END OF TUNNEL

Dear Locomen,

       Every loco running staff of Indian railway knows that ever since the VIth CPC released its retrograde recommendation for loco running staff, AILRSA had been on war path with various modes of struggles all over Indian Railway. In the course of struggle we got a partial achievement of 80% upgradation from 1900 to 2400 Grade Pay for ALP and we were not satisfied and continued the struggle. On the other hand the AIRF and NFIR who boycotted the Fast Track Committees of Vth and VIth CPC claimed that it was a historical achievement by pasting victory posters. Both these recognized federations proved themselves that they are not hard bargainers but empty boasters who simply claim credit for small improvements delivered by finance ministry, DOPT and Railway Board and also disowns their own demands of 2800 Grade Pay for ALP.
