This Central Working Committee of All India Newspaper Employees
Federation, New Delhi, held at Vishakhapattanam (AP) on 22-23rd October 2016
after extensive and exhaustive deliberations unanimously resolves –
On implementation of Awards
(1) That in the light of the recommendations in
Palekar Award (1979), Bachawat Award (1988), Manisana Award (1998), Majithia Award
(2011) if the management of a Newspaper Establishment has failed to comply with
any recommendation/s Unions should raise an industrial dispute
(a) for implementation
of the said recommendation/s by asking the management to produce relevant
Balance Sheets to verify the same for purposes of determination of its gross
revenue and class thereof;
(b) for fixation in
scales of pay provided for in the Award/s for relevant class of Newspaper
Establishment and also for grant of appropriate increments and/or benefits
provided for in the Award/s;
(c) that this action of
the Unions will be in addition to contempt proceedings, if any, filed by it or
individual employees and without prejudice to the same but in addition to it;
On Alarming Increase in Employment on Contract Basis
(2) That in the light of the growing unfair
labour practices on the part of the Newspaper Establishments to engage both
journalist and non-journalist employees on contract basis, so as to deny these
employees benefits of regularization and permanency and various awards and also
other related labour laws, by keeping these employees perpetually on
tenterhooks of uncertainty and condemning them to life of humiliation,
subjugation and servitude is a blatant violation of Human Rights and other
legal rights. This meeting, therefore,
strongly condemns indulgence of Newspaper Establishments in these unfair labour
practices and;
(a) calls upon the
Newspaper Establishments to refrain from such unfair labour practices and to
regularize services of all journalist and non-journalist employees, who are
presently working on contract basis, and to pay them all the benefits of
regular and permanent employees, including benefits of various Awards with
retrospective effect;
(b) calls upon the
Unions to enroll all such journalists and non-journalist employees, who are
committed to abolition of such system of employment on contract basis, and
actively help them liberate from this abhorrent method of exploitation and
degradation of continually working on contract basis;
(c) calls upon the
Unions to do everything in their power to strengthen both numerically and
qualitatively the system of employing employees on regular and permanent basis
and to ensure filling up of all vacancies on that basis.
ON CLANDESTINE JOBS ELLMINATION & REDUCTION OF EMPLOYMENT
OPPORTUNITIES
(3) That looking to the growing resort of
Newspaper Establishments to unfair labour practices of outsourcing for jobs
elimination and continuous application of systems of rationalization and automation,
resulting in increasing workload and sapping of energy and strength of
employees to perilous level, resulting ultimately in reduction of employment
opportunities as well, this Central Working Committee meeting, therefore,
(a) calls upon the
Unions to identify and oppose all overt and covert methods of outsourcing aimed
at reducing regular and permanent jobs to the disadvantage of the employees;
(b) calls upon the
Unions to identify and oppose each and every step/decision of rationalization
and automation which is likely to lead to retrenchment of employees and/or
saddles them with additional workload without corresponding or commensurate
benefit thereof.
This Central Working Committee of the All India Newspaper
Employees Federation expects every union to devise its own peaceful and
constitutional methods and use all or any peaceful trade union ways and means,
in keeping with its strength and given capacity, depending on the local
conditions and the willingness of the members to traverse the distance and to
implement the Resolution accordingly.
With this the Central Working Committee feels success is assured, may be
in stages and at a slower rate.
In case of
difficulties, President of the All India Newspaper Employees Federation will be
available for guidance and help.
Resolution passed
unanimously.
