clarified that the Government has taken the decision to implement the recommendation
of the 7th CPC to bring about parity between the past and present pensioners. They

them to take a decision over the strike action which is to commence from 11th

The
Honourable Home Minister assured the delegation that the Government will honour
the assurances held out to the NJCA leaders on 30th June, 2016 and accordingly
the Honourable Finance Minister Shri Arun Jaitley will issue a Press Statement
today, with copy to NJCA.
Accordingly
the NJCA has received the Press communiqué issued by the Honourable Finance
Minister today. The Committee set up to look into the matter of minimum wage
and fitment formula is expected to submit their report to the Government in the
given time frame of not more than four months. In view of these developments,
the indefinite strike call which is to commence from 11th July, 2016 is
deferred till the committee finalises its report.
The
NJCA congratulates all affiliates, their units and branches for their strenuous
efforts in mobilizing the workers under the banner of NJCA and keeping the
unity and strength of the Central Government employees intact. The NJCA takes
this opportunity to assure all that it would be its endeavour to ensure that a
decent and satisfactory settlement is brought about on all 11 point charter of
demands.
The
NJCA particularly notes that the Government has set up a separate committee for
reviewing the New Pension Scheme, which has been a matter of concern to all
employees and workers who are recruited to Government service after 01.01.2014.
The
NJCA expresses its gratitude to all the members of Public, Print and Electronic
Media for the support they had extended to the Central Government Employees.
