PENSIONERS ISSUES: WAGE TALKS : IMPORTANT ISSUE FOR AIRIEF MEET.

Dear Aggarwalji,

      None could differ from the suggestion put forth by Sh. V.K.Bhasin. We can not depend upon legal processes alone for all the time to come. Besides huge expenses incurred, elders are very much vexed with prolonged duration on flimsy grounds and also the intricacies involved. It is alleged that the bureaucracies in the States and in the Centre seldom attach due respect to the judgments delivered. Contempt proceedings against such powers have become the order of the day.

      We are the witness to see the outcome of the fierce agitation of about 30 lakhs Army Veterans in the streets for more than a decade. They believe in their organisational strength than in the legal processes. The government could understand the depth of our problems, only, if we could present them in their language. 

      Time has come when we should also think in terms of winning our long pending issues, organizationally, through result oriented programs of agitation. Initially, there may be a bit of hesitation in approving of such direct actions, because of our advanced age, health setbacks and family circumstances. We can not avoid such factors within the senior-most and senior elders. Among about 40,000 of us, atleast around 2000, to begin with, should be prepared to come forward from the entire Divl.Units to shoulder such responsibilities. As is known, we could achieve nothing with nil sacrifice. The agitation of army veterans is an eye-opener. 

      Let us not feel shy of the suggestion of our colleague. It is high time that we should give due consideration to such constructive thoughts in view of our long other pending issues. 

                WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY !

 LET US HAVE CONFIDENCE ON OUR OWN ORGANIZATIONAL STRENGTH !

With regards,

Dear Sir:

Pensioners Issues: Wage Talks

It appears that there is hardly any focus on Pensioners issues including Another Option or

Family Pension Updation, etc.

The Pensioners Association are neither a party to Wage Talks nor are there issues being taken

seriously by the Inservice Unions.

Will we continue to fight for our issues only at the legal front?

I am regularly reading Pensioners voice. We need to motivate Pensioners to a particular

direction of protest, I believe.

With regards
