PRESS STATEMENT FOR FAVOUR OF PUBLICATION

The oil sector Executives are on strike for a just cause. We support their agitation in principle. THE FEDERATION OF BHEL EXECUTIVES’ ASSOCIATIONS has also launched an action programme to press for highly reasonable demands which are as follows:
The Justice MJ Rao Committee Recommendations should be implemented with minor modifications.
Instead of improving upon the recommendations and removing the anomalies, the bureaucracy has downgraded it vastly which is totally unacceptable to us. This action of downgrading the recommendations of a duly constituted committee headed by a former Supreme court Judge is unprecedented.

OR

Equivalent Central Government pay should be implemented in Toto including the working conditions, Pension, Tax benefits etc. Since we are a profit making undertaking the performance related payments should be made.

The bureaucracy has been misleading all by all by claiming that the package offered is much superior to the Central Government pay. We refute this claim and hence this demand.
Our action programme was launched on 06/01/2009 with highly successful “Lunch Boycott” throughout BHEL.

On 17’th January we shall stay back after normal working hours and work throughout the night. If the Government does not heed our highly reasonable demands we will be constrained to strike work. It will be with great reluctance that we may be forced to take such an extreme step as it will upset the country’s ambitious power capacity addition programme. BHEL has outstanding order book of 1.40 lakh crores.
