LDC-UDC ISSUE: TOWARDS A FINAL ACTION
Dear friends,
It has been informed you through our earlier letters that Confederation had decided to conduct a day long Dharna action at Jantar Mantar Delhi demanding immediate Constitution of 7th Pay Commission, Merger of 50% DA to Basic Pay, Grant of Interim Relief etc. In the mean time we were eager to take up the LDC-UDC issue, which have been raising us for the last two years, in a larger platform and as such representatives of the Union/individual of LDC & UDC in various Departments were requested to come to the Dharna place of the Confederation on 9th January 2014. Prior to this, this Association has published a letter, in response to the comments posted in our web site on the subject, for discussion and finalization of the line of action to be taken to achieve the goal. Being a cadre issue Confederation has not been agreeing to include the LDC-UDC issue in its main charter of demands. But the popularity gained on the issue due to our efforts for quite some time has become a matter of attraction and rethinking by the Confederation also. In such a situation the presence of large number of representative of LDC-UDC in the Dharna would have been beneficial to impress the Confederation to add the demand in the main demands of the Confederation.
