AN APPEAL BY COM. LOKNATH MISHRA, PRESIDENT AIACEGEO

FRIENDS,
WE KNOW IT VERY WELL that 90% of members of AIACEGEO are very old and in verge
of retirement hence they may not be interested to participate whole heartedly in
any type of agitation. This is the ground reality , which we have to accept.
We tried to join in JAC but due to some differences in opinion , we have decided not join in JAC.
As you know any Association can not get the bargaining power unless giving threaten
for agitation. Exclusively for that matters , we have decided to conduct
mild agitations. Mass resignation , boycott Excise Day, Lunch Hours
Demonstrations etc. are considered as mild agitation. In boycotting excise
day no Govt. work is hampered. If after submitting notice for mild agitation
if Govt called for negotiation ,it is always acceptable to gain bargaining power
in course of discussion. Because Govt. generally do not care for such
mild agitation. Considering this aspect only AIACEGEO had deferred
agitation twice. Gone are the days ,by threat of agitation something
can be achieved from GOI....Better negotiations,convincing
reasoning's with conviction on the demands etc is the only option open.
Considering all such issues last year the
call for boycott Excise Day was deferred and Association went
for discussion.Recently we are having an weapon in our hands i.e letter issued by
ADG/HRD duly taking approval of Member(P&V), in which she has requested
us to deffer the agitation only but she has not stated that conducting of
agitation is violation of conduct Rules and it is opened for us to
revive the agitation if the demands as discussed in the meeting are not
considered in time bound manner. This time agitation is a revival one .
Hence it is required for continuance of Charter of demands . Therefore in our
last AC meeting it was decided for not to change the points raACEGEOised in
charter of demands as already submitted and discussed with Member(P&V) on
02.11.2012. At present since it is decided to observe
protest week during 24.02.13 to 01.03.13, (considering the situation
of presentation of Union Budget, drive to achieve target etc.) during this
protest week , we can not join in any type of of celebration
for this matter only it has been decided to boycott the Excise Day.
Friends considering all these please come forward to work whole heartedly
to make the agitation a grand success.
Thanks & Regards.
LOKANATH MISHRA
