1. NJCA INDEFINITE STRIKE DATE
AND STRIKE NOTICE SERVING DATE POSTPONED TO 11TH JULY 2016
& 09TH JUNE 2016
NJCA meeting held at JCM (NC)
staffside office on 07th March 2016, after detailed
deliberations has decided to postpone the indefinite strike date of 11th April
2016 and strike notice serving date of 11th March 2016 to 11th July
2016 and 09th June 2016 respectively. The following are the
reasons which necessitated the change in dates.
a) While summing up the discussion on Charter of demands held on 1stMarch
2016 by Empowered Committee of Secretaries (ECoS) with JCM National Council
Standing Committee members, Cabinet Secretary has stated that reasonable time
should be given to the Government for a fair consideration of all the demands
raised in the Charter of demands, since the issues concern inter-departmental
consultations.
b) After declaration of the Election schedule in five State Assemblies, the
Election Code of Conduct has come into effect. Further there will be polling on
11th April 2016 (strike commencement date) in West Bengal and
Assam.
c) As per Section 22 of Industrial Disputes Act 1947 with regard to the
validity of strike notice is not more than six weeks from the date of serving
the strike notice. Even if we give strike notice on 11th March
2016, for commencement of indefinite strike after the election dates (ie 20th May
2016), the six weeks period will be over by that time and we have to serve
fresh strike notice again.
Considering all the above aspects, the
meeting took the following decisions:-
1. The indefinite strike shall commence from 6am on 11th July
2016.
2. Strike notice would be served on 09th June 2016.
