Ordnance MCM will get Rs.4200 Grade Pay at par with Railways MCM

The demand to establish the payment of MCM-Ordnance at par with Railway MCM-Ordnance will not be heard again.

The problem which started with 5th CPC has been settled with the emergence of 6th CPC. Ordnance-MCM who had been availing payment equivalent to Railway-MCM till 4th CPC, after the establishment of 5th CPC ceased to receive so. After 5th CPC, Ordnance-MCM received pay range as Rs.4500-7000 , whereas Railways received pay range of Rs.5000-8000.

The demand which started at that time has been rendered to action by the government at last.

A Fast Track Committee was put into formation to solve the problem that arose for Railways MCM. Ordnance and Postal departments too joined the committee. The committee disscussed various issues at various time period.

A condition was put forth that for the implementation of Rs.5000-8000 to Ordnance-MCM they have to accept the proposal of dividing Highly Skilled Grade into two segments. Having accepted the proposal the Ordnance MCM was granted their plea by the Government.

As a goodwill of this, 50 percent of the Highly Skilled Grade (Rs.2400 Grade Pay) will rise to Rs.2800 Grade Pay.

Along with this, all the MCM will receive Rs.4200 Grade Pay. This has been regarded as a historical achievement.

Along with the change in grade pay for promotion, 3 percent hike in increment has now been known. Accordingly, 50 percent of Highly Skilled Grade will receive Rs.400 plus one increment.

For MCM as a whole they would receive Rs.1400 plus one increment. Also there is chance for increase in basic pay.

Along side, to having changed to Rs.4200 Grade Pay there are privileges of availing II nd tier A/C and Airway travel resulting in abundance of joy as a whole, and they are not failing to thank all the Unions and Federations for their great effort.

It is not exaggeration to say that the Ordnance employees are in sheer joy and excitement to having achieved for what they have been toiling for over ten years.

All India Defence Employees Federation - Kelkar Committee

All India Defence Employees Federation (AIDEF)

*******
THE 4.5 lakh defence civilian employees have decided to join the countrywide strike of the working class on September 29. They have also decided to fight against the retrograde recommendations of the Kelkar committee.

This was decided in the national executive committee meeting of the All India Defence Employees Federation (AIDEF) held on July 13-14, 2005. The Kelkar committee has recommended corporatisation of the 39 Ordnance factories in the country, which are at present under the direct control of the government of India, with the ultimate intention of privatisation.

The AIDEF has decided to launch persistent struggle demanding for the rejection of the report by the government of India. The AIDEF has directed its 367 affiliated unions to stage massive demonstrations against the Kelkar committee report on August 24, 2005 and also to burn the copies of the report.

The AIDEF has endorsed all the decisions taken in the National Convention of Trade Unions held on July 9, 2005 at New Delhi. The 4.5 lakh defence civilian employees will participate in the September 29 strike. The strike ballot will be taken by the affiliated unions on September 12 and the strike notice will be served on September 15, 2005.

The AIDEF has also opposed the New Contributory Pension Scheme and has decided to stage protest demonstrations on the day when the PFRDA bill is placed for voting in the parliament.
