DEAR FRIENDS
- IF TWO GRADES OF NON FUNCTIONAL ARE CREATED PB-2 5400 & PB-3 5400 , IN FUTURE INSTEAD OF GIVING PROMOTION MANAGEMENT WILL SAY THAT NFU(NON FINANCIAL UPGRADATION) ARE ALREADY AVAILABLE AND THIS WILL SHOW AS ANSWER FOR DELAY IN JWM - AWM PROMOTIONS.
- MORE OVER THE COURT CASE CLEARS FOR MACP;A PER PROMOTIONAL HIREARCHY JWMS WILL GET PB-3 5400 GP.
- IN SUCH SITUTION NO POINT IN ACCEPTING TWO GP S OF 5400 IN PB - 2 & PB-3 .
- WHY MEETINGS HAVE NOT BEEN CALLED TO TAKE OPINIONS AT FACTORY LEVEL.
- WHY DONT WE CALL FOR A MEETING BEFORE APRIL 16 2014.
One of our member put a question to me
WHAT MADE TO OFB TO INTRODUCE JWM (SG-1 AND 2) WHEN THE SAME OFB MERGED THE CM-II & CM-I POSTS AND AF & JWM POSTS?
WHO WILL BE BENEFITED FROM DIVIDING JWM POST INTO 3 POSTS?
WHAT IS THE STAND OF BOTH ASSOCIATIONS?
IS ANY ASSOCIATION HAS WORKED HOW TO OVERCOME FROM THE PRESENT SITUATION AND TO GET GRADE PAY OF 5400/- AND 6600/-? IF SO WHAT IS THE PLAN?
ON GOING THROUGH THE QUESTIONS I DECIDED TO CIRCULATE TO MAXMIMUM NUMBER OF JWMS.
PLEASE SEND TO KNOWN JWMS ALSO.
My opinion,
We are in battle field, at this juncture going back or keeping silent on the CADRE issues will bring further loss to the entire cadre.
The first and the foremost is to protest for the cadre review proposal given by IOFS cadre without consulting the feeder cadre that is us. The reason is in this proposal they proposed for increasing the JAG posts and not AWM posts, if this proposal is approved only present AWMs and WMs will be benefited.
The protest letter should be submitted by all branch secretaries to DGOF with a copy to Secretary MOD. In this regard both the associations’ leaders should visit MOD and explain the contents in person to MOD officials and to submit our proposal for IOFS cadre as a feeder cadre with increasing the number of AWM posts.

01. All the outstanding issues were expedited at various levels. During courtesy meeting with DGOF & Chairman/ OFB, it was requested to kindly intervene with UPSC for early promotion of JWM to AWM. He assured to discuss with UPSC. It was also requested to take care the various issues of JWM Cadre like SRO, Cadre Review & 7th CPC related matters.
02. Meeting with JS/P&C:

An agenda of 12 points were submitted for discussion in the meeting.
JS/P&C expressed that there was shortage of time and she has to catch the flight. She offered to discuss on Cadre review only.
As per the previously held discussion with rep of NDGBGOA in the morning of 12th, the under signed explained the jointly agreed proposal in the meeting as follows.
(i) Sanction strength of AWMs should be increased & a post of Section Manager should be created in GP.Rs 5400/= in PB-3 only with provision of promotion from Section Manger to WM directly.
(ii) Ratio of T & NT (CM:JWM) be rationalised as 60:40 before process of proposal.
(iii) Sanctioned strength of JWM /NT to be increased in proportion of strength of OS.
(iv) As compared with industrial cadre and Group-A cadre, Chargeman and JWM cadre should also be provided with minimum 5 promotional benefits starting from the entry level.
Our requirements and demands was submitted with full justification & repeatedly in meeting and points were discussed in depth. Some of the points were not agreed by JS. Though there was no justification with JS/OFB except that both told that creation of post in PB-3 only for apprx 3700 in nos at a time shall not be feasible and it will be impossible to get approved from DOPT& MOF.
Sheet-2/2
JS concluded the point as follows.
(a) Proposal to create 2746 in PB-2,GP-Rs5400/- and 1000 post in Rs5400/-in PB-3 with provision of promotion to the post of AWM and with name of JWM SG-1 & 2 is already forwarded to Defence/ Finance. It will be modified. The Ratio of T and NT (60:40) will be rationalised. The nos of posts in PB-3 will be increased and PB-2 will be decreased in equal nos and she directed OFB reps to decide increase in nos. amicably and to forward themodification to MOD at the earliest. Name of newly increased post shall be Section Manager & Sr.Section Manager. OFB reps and JS assured that this creation of posts shall be for financial up-gradations only & these will not be counted as propmotions. So if MACP in Hirachy is accepted by Govt. there will be no loss to the cadre. Specfically DDG/IR assured for the same.
After this once again, the under signed stated that we have come with mandate from our people to propose creation of post in PB-3 only with provision for promotion to the post of WM directly which is not being agreed by the official side. In the last moment Once again it was requested to accept our proposal to make it in line with our mandate. After this she stated that if Associations wants their own proposal then the current process will be stopped and nothing will happen. She advised to let it be done at this moment because she is interested to complete this work at this time making all the efforts at her best level whereas she will not be able to get approved all the posts 3700 nos in PB-3 at a time as per her experience. She also told that this cadre review is not last step for betterment of cadre, if any problem remains in future after this Cadre review the same will be addressed in next steps. She also emphasised it has became very late. We must do it before proposal of 7th CPC. Lastly she pressed hard to let it be done.
3. Other points.
(i) It was requested to expedite UPSC at MOD level for early DPC and propmotion order from JWM to AWM. She assured to do the same.
(ii) It was requested to intervene for re instatement of cancelled transferred orders. She told OFB reps to do the same. She also told that she has discussed with DGOF& Chairman also. OFB reps stated that some DR JWMs are likely to join in the month of June’14. At that time these cases will be materialised by giving replacement.

7th CPC – STEP NEWS -Finance Ministry created a webpage for 7th CPC
7th CPC – STEP 1
The Prime Minister of India gave consent to the formation of 7th CPC on 25-09-2013.
Finance Minister P. Chidambaram announced that the Prime Minister has formally given his consent to the formation of the 7th CPC. Announcement was also made that it would be implemented on 01.01.2016.
Usually, not only employees, news agencies also would start guessing when the announcement would be declared. But this time, there were no such speculations. It has become clear that the Government’s decision and the date of announcement of 7th CPC are being kept secret.
The sudden announcement had caught everybody by surprise. There is no doubt about the fact that it was a pleasant surprise to all Central Govt Employees...!
7th CPC – STEP 2
Prime Minister of India gave his consent to the Composition of 7th CPC.
On 04-02-2014, Finance Minister P Chidambaram announced that the Prime Minister has given his approval to the composition of the 7th CPC. With the formation of a four member committee, led by Justice Ashok Kumar Mathur, the 7th CPC moved to the next stage.
With the Confederation announcing a strike on the 10th and 11th of this month, and with all the major Federations of Central Govt Employees and also Railways in the country declaring their intention to protest to central government, the move is being viewed by many as Government’s attempt to pacify.
7th CPC – STEP 3
Cabinet gives its approval to the 7th CPC Terms of Reference
On 28.02.2014, the Central cabinet clearly explained and gave its approval to the Terms of Reference of 7th Central Pay Commission.
One of the salient features was that the Commission has to present its recommendations to the Government within 18 months, and, if required, also submit an Interim Report.
There was no word about the much-anticipated Interim Relief and DA Merger.
7th CPC - Step 4
A webpage has been created by the Ministry of Finance for 7th Central Pay Commission.
In order to publishing orders and announcements of 7th CPC, the Finance Ministry has launched a new webpage in their official portal under the category of 'Employees Corner'.
Visitors are requested to scroll down the website home page of 'Ministry of Finance' and find at the bottom of right side corner.
At present they have published only one Government Gazette that 'Resolution of Terms of Reference' of 7th Central Pay Commission, which was published on 28th February 2014.
