7th CPC: Gazette to be issued in a week
The central government
employees' unions are trying to douse all speculation and rumours whether the
7th Pay Commission will be implemented or not, saying that notification towards
implementation of the Pay Commission will be issued early this week.
The government's flip
flop in accepting the employees demand and further setting up a high level
committee to look into their demands, has created confusion among central
government employees whether or not the 7th Pay Commission will be implemented
soon.
“There should not be any
doubt that salary for the month of July onward will be based on 7th CPC
recommendations approved by the government on 29th June, 2016 with only change
that, all the allowances, as admissible at present, will continue till report
of various committees set up for different purposes are finalized. Gazette
Notification for the same is expected today or early next week", said Shiv
Gopal Mishra, Convenor, of National Joint Council of Action (NJCA) in a blog.
National Joint Council of
Action is an umbrella body of 33 lakh central government employees including
Railways, Defence, and other central government unions.
Mishra had earlier said
that NJCA will put forth its demands to government very strongly and hopes
positive outcome from the negotiations.
He reiterated that the
minimum wages recommended by 7th Pay Commission were not acceptable to the
government employees and hopes that the high level committee, which government
will set up to look into raising minimum salary, would do the needful in this
regard in stipulated time frame i.e. four months.
