EXTEND FULL SUPPORT AND SOLIDARITY TO THE STRUGGLE OF DEFENCE EMPLOYEES FOR EXISTENCE
Hon’be Defence Minister Sri Arun Jaitley
has taken decision to outsource 143 products to PRIVATE SECTOR which
are being at present manufactured by ordnance factories of Govt of
India. Accordingly Defence Ministry has issued orders on 27.04.2017. On
implementation of the above major policy decision of the Defence
Ministry ,the job of almost 20000 (twenty thousand) defence civilian
employees of ordnance factories involved in the production of these 143
products will be at stake. Jobs which are now performed by dedicated
ordnance factory workers for years together are being snatched and given
to private sector. As a result defence employees are facing serious
threat to their job security.
Against the above decision of the
BJP-led NDA Government , defence employees are organising series of
agitational programmes including staying away from the work for one hour
during the beginning hour of the duty on24th May 2017 and conducting
demonstrations. Confederation National Secretariat calls upon all
affiliate’s and COC’s to extend full support and solidarity to the
struggle of the defence employees against privatisation and for job
security. Leaders of the Confederation are requested to visit the
leaders of ordance factory workers and All India Defence Employees
Federation which is spearheading the struggle and convey our support in
person .
