MORCHA TO PARLIAMENT ON 12.12.2013

CONVENTION OF CENTRAL TRADE UNIONS
CLARION CALL FOR MORCHA TO PARLIAMENT ON 12.12.2013
MOBILISE AND JOIN IN LARGE NUMBERS
*****************************************
Members have already been informed of the decisions taken in the
Convention of all the Central Trade Unions and various other independent trade
unions that was held in Delhi on 6th August, 2013, to which UFBU was also
invited and the representatives of all the constituent unions particiapted.
Members are also aware that a clarion call was given from the Convention to
organise a massive morcha to Parliament on 12th December, 2013 to focus the
following 10 point charter of demands:
• Concrete measures to contain price rise;
• Concrete measures for employment generation;
• Strict enforcement of labour laws;
• Universal social security cover for organized and unorganized workers and
creation of National Social Security Fund;
• Stoppage of disinvestment in Central and State PSUs / Undertakings;
• No Contractorisation of work of permanent / perennial nature and
payment of wages and benefits to the contract workers at the same rate
as available to the regular workers of the industry / establishment;
• Amendment of Minimum Wages Act to ensure universal coverage
irrespective of the schedules and fixation of statutory minimum wage at
not less than Rs.10, 000/- linked with cost price index;
• Remove all ceilings on payment and eligibility of Bonus, Provident Fund;
Increase the quantum of gratuity;
• Assured Pension for all;
• Compulsory registration of trade unions within a period of 45 days and
immediate ratification of the ILO Conventions Nos. 87 and 98.

All these issues have arisen on account of the anti-labour and proemployer
policies of the Central Government. It is a matter of satisfaction that
all the Central Trade Unions have come together on a single platform to fight
against these policies and to achieve these demands.
We also support all these demands as bank employees are placed no
differently. Our demands for wage revision are not moving forward. There are
also incesant attacks on the banking sector in the name of banking reforms.
Hence, in deference to the decision of UFBU, in its meeting held in Mumbai on
11th October, 2013, to participate in the Morcha, we call upon all members to
take part in the Morcha to Parliament on 12th December, 2013 and make it a
Grand Success.
We request all our constituent unions to mobilise their members in large
numbers to participate in the Parliament Morcha on 12th December, 2013 at New
Delhi.
