TENTH BIPARTITE

Now a days at ground level we are seeing unrest among some P.O’s regarding  Bipartite settlement and many of them are in favor of becoming part of Central Pay Commission .  I am a close follower of various groups in FB also. I started searching and comparing various other settlements done for different organizations.  In fact the following are my observations which I feel  may be useful for explaining the young officers.

Due to various political reasons the govt has decided to give benefit to Central govt employees. If the intention of the govt is to give, it can give either through CPC or through BPS, i.e the final paying authority is the Govt only.  THIS IS VERY  SIMPLE LOGIC.

I got the II pay commission report  for central public sector enterpriseswhich has given its report in 2006.  These include giants like ONGC, BPCL , IOC, CHENNAI PETRO, ONGC VIDESH  etc.    The shocking part of it is that the salary is not equal for all.  The Govt has divided  the companies into 4 groups and the salary structure is different for each group.  The following is the example for the officers cadre

	A+ Company	A	B	C	D
Basic for officers in executive cadre	14500-25000	13500-23000	12900-22100	12200-20900	11500-19800
Risk Pay	1300	1300	1250	1200	1100

A+	A	B	C	D
IOC	Air India Ltd.	HMT Ltd.	Hindustan Shipyard Ltd.	Tyre Corporation of India Ltd.
BPCL	Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd	National Textile Corporation Ltd	Hindustan Insecticides Ltd.	HMT Bearings Ltd.
HPCL	MMTC Ltd.	IRCON International Ltd.	Jute Corporation of India Ltd.	Hooghly Dock and Port Engineers Ltd
ONGC	Chennai petro	ONGC Videsh Ltd.	National Seeds Corporation Ltd.	National Film Development Corporation
FCI	Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Ltd.	Indian Railway Finance Corporation Ltd	Mishra Dhatu Nigam Ltd.	Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd.
BSNL	MTNL	Hindustan Copper Ltd.	HMT Watches Ltd.	IDPL (Tamilnadu) Ltd.

What happens if separate pay commission  is appointed for our banks.  In case we are categorized according to size/profit/efficiency where will we go.   If it is not bipartite, the recommendations will be implemented immediately and our consent is not required. With regard to the indefinite strike , these Young P.O’s cant withstand the pressure from executives.  Further as public money is involved, the wrath of the public will be on us directly.  Imagine an account holder who has an SB balance of Rs.25,000/- and cant withdraw the same for three to four days and is in dire need of money.  We even can’t conduct a demonstration in a public place after a four to five day strike, because public will revolt against us as we would have already lost the sympathy by that time.  Further High Courts are now very active and  whenever doctors are on strike, somebody  filed a case in high courts and High court declared the strike as illegal and asked the doctors to join immediately and resolve the matter through negotiations. We want good wage revision, but it should be done through Bipartite.  But surrendering the rights to government is not at all acceptable. I am in the process of comparing stage by stage basic salary of 6th CPC Vs 9th Bipartite.  The same will be published here.
