CENTRAL TRADE UNIONS SUBMITS
JOINT MEMORANDUM TO FINANCE MINISTER
17th January 2015
The Hon’ble Minister of Finance, Govt. of India,17th January 2015
North Block, New Delhi
Dear Sir,
We thank you for inviting the central trade unions representing the working people in the country in both organized and unorganized sector for this pre-budget consultation.
We thank you for inviting the central trade unions representing the working people in the country in both organized and unorganized sector for this pre-budget consultation.
In the previous pre-budget consultation meeting
with you held on 6th June 2014, we urged upon you to please consider a
directional change in the economic policy regime from that pursued during the
previous government which, you have also admitted, had landed the country’s
economy in a bad situation. In fact, we had articulated our views and proposals
on that premise. But we like to submit candidly that our proposals did not
receive a positive response and the economic policies followed the same
trajectory and made situation worse for the mass of the people during the
intervening period.
Sir, the Mid Term Economic Analysis (2014-15) by
Govt of India itself admitted that for the period under review despite increase
in GDP growth rate, and a much bigger increase in profit of the corporate
sector and big business lobby, the wages for the working people who actually
create the GDP in both rural and urban areas plunged on the average. Overall
standard of living of people deteriorated and unemployment situation in the
country has not improved in the least. Much more jobs were lost owing to
closure/lockout, retrenchment than created during the intervening period. And
in the midst of such situation, the Govt has already decided to cut already
budgeted expenditure in the social sector such as MNREGA, Health, Education etc
which we strongly deplore. Such a phenomenon warranted serious reconsideration
on directional change in the economic policy regime and we again urge you for
the same.
We express our serious concern and dismay over
the manner the Govt have been pushing various major economic policy related
decisions through promulgation of Ordinances. At least eight Ordinances were
promulgated during last eight months of the new Govt. We record our determined
opposition to such practice of Ordinance route of governance. In particular we
also oppose the Ordinance on coal sector, insurance sector and on Land
Acquisition Act and want you to please take note of the rousing opposition and
struggles by the workers and the farmers against such disastrous exercises. We
demand all such Ordinances should be withdrawn forthwith.
We wish that our candid observations, considered
views and concrete proposals are taken in the right spirit and responded with
all seriousness and given appropriate reflections in the ensuing budget
2014-15.
Our proposals:
Some of these specific proposals have time and again been placed by us in various policy making fora including the earlier pre-budget consultations. However, we would like to reiterate them, urging your positive response:
Some of these specific proposals have time and again been placed by us in various policy making fora including the earlier pre-budget consultations. However, we would like to reiterate them, urging your positive response:
Take effective measures to arrest the spiraling
price rise and to contain inflation; Ban speculative forward trading in commodities;
Universalise and strengthen the Public Distribution System; Ensure proper check
on hoarding; Rationalise, with a view to reduce the burden on people, the
tax/duty/cess on petroleum products.
There must be massive investment in the
infrastructure in order to stimulate the economy for job creation. The Mid Term
Economic Analysis(2014-15) published by Govt of India has clearly mentioned
about the failure of the PPP experiments in infrastructure development and
opined for public investment. It is our considered view that the Public sector
should take the leading role in this regard. The plan & non-plan
expenditure should be increased in the budget to stimulate jobs creation and
guarantee consistent income to people.
Minimum wage linked to Consumer Price Index must
be guaranteed to all workers, taking into consideration the recommendations of
the 15th Indian Labour Conference as enriched by Apex Court of the country as
reiterated in 44th ILC in 2012. In any case, it should not be less than
Rs.15,000/- p.m.
FDI should not be allowed in crucial sectors like
defence production, telecommunications, Railways, financial sector, retail
trade, education, health and media.
The public sector units played a crucial role
during the year of severe contraction of private capital investment immediately
following the outbreak of global financial crisis. PSUs should be strengthened
and expanded. Disinvestment of shares of profit making public sector units
should be stopped forthwith. Budgetary support should be given for revival of
potentially viable Sick CPSUs
In view of huge joblosses and mounting
unemployment problem, the ban on recruitment in Govt. deptts, PSUs and
autonomous institutions (including recent Finance Ministry’s instruction to
abolish those posts not filled for one year) should be lifted as recommended by
43rdSession of Indian Labour Conference. Condition of surrender of posts in
govt. departments and PSUs should be scrapped and new posts be created keeping
in view the new work and increased workload.
§ Proper allocation of funds be made for interim relief of 20% and 100% DA merge with basic pay and allowances including neutralization percentage be paid on merged DA in view of 7th CPC to all Govt. employees. Similarly, 100% DA of PSU employees be also merged with basic pay.

The scope of MGNREGA be extended to agriculture
operations and urban areas as well and employment for minimum period of 200
days with guaranteed statutory wage be provided, as unanimously recommended by
43rd Session of Indian Labour Conference. The drastic cut already inflicted on
the MNREGA allocation should be restored.
The massive workforce engaged in ICDS, Mid-day meal scheme, Vidya volunteers, Guest Teachers, Siksha Mitra, the workers engaged in the Accredited Social Health Activities (ASHA) and other schemes be regularized. No to privatization of centrally funded schemes. Universalisation of ICDS be done as per Supreme Court directions by making adequate budgetary allocations.

No to privatization of centrally funded schemes. Universalisation of ICDS be done as per Supreme Court directions by making adequate budgetary allocations.
Steps be taken for removal of all restrictive
provisions based on poverty line in respect of eligibility coverage of the
schemes under the Unorganised Workers Social Security Act 2008 and allocation
of adequate resources for the National Fund for Unorganised Workers to provide
for Social Security to all unorganized workers including the contract/casual
and migrant workers in line with the recommendations of Parliamentary Standing
Committee on Labour and also the 43rd Session of Indian Labour Conference.
Remunerative Prices should be ensured for the
agricultural produce and Govt. investment public investment in agriculture
sector must be substantially augmented as a proportion of GDP and total
budgetary expenditure. It should also be ensured that benefits of the increase
reach the small, marginal and medium cultivators only;
Budgetary provision should be made for providing essential services including housing, public transport, sanitation, water, schools, crèche health care etc. to workers in the new emerging industrial areas. Working women’s hostels should be set up where there is a concentration of women workers.
Budgetary provision should be made for providing essential services including housing, public transport, sanitation, water, schools, crèche health care etc. to workers in the new emerging industrial areas. Working women’s hostels should be set up where there is a concentration of women workers.
Requisite budgetary support for addressing crisis
in traditional sectors like Jute, Textiles, Plantation, Handloom, Carpet and
Coir etc.
Budgetary provision for elementary education should be increased, particularly in the context of the implementation of the ‘Right to Education’ as this is the most effective tool to combat child labour.
Budgetary provision for elementary education should be increased, particularly in the context of the implementation of the ‘Right to Education’ as this is the most effective tool to combat child labour.
The system of computation of Consumer Price Index
should be reviewed as the present index is causing heavy financial loss to the
workers.
Income Tax exemption ceiling for the salaried persons should be raised to Rs.5 lakh per annum and fringe benefits like housing, medical and educational facilities and running allowances, Railways Running Staff and a staff in other deptts should be exempted from the income tax net in totality.
Income Tax exemption ceiling for the salaried persons should be raised to Rs.5 lakh per annum and fringe benefits like housing, medical and educational facilities and running allowances, Railways Running Staff and a staff in other deptts should be exempted from the income tax net in totality.
Threshold limit of 20 employees in EPF Scheme be
brought down to 10 as recommended by CBT-EPF. Pension benefits under EPS
unilaterally withdrawn by the Govt. should be restored. Govt. and Employers contribution
be increased to allow sustainability of Employees Pension Scheme and for
provision of minimum pension of Rs.3000/- p.m.
New Pension Scheme be withdrawn and newly recruited employees of central and state govts on or after 1.1.2004 be covered under Old Pension Scheme;
Demand for Dearness Allowance merger by Central Govt. and PSUs employees be accepted and adequate allocation of fund for this be made in the budget;
All interests and social security of the domestic workers to be statutorily protected on the lines of the ILO Convention on domestic workers.
The Cess Management of the construction workers is the responsibility of the Finance Ministry under the Act and the several irregularities found in collection of cess be rectified as well as their proper utilization must be ensured.

The Cess Management of the construction workers is the responsibility of the Finance Ministry under the Act and the several irregularities found in collection of cess be rectified as well as their proper utilization must be ensured.
In regard to resource mobilization, we would like
to emphasize the following:
A progressive taxation system should be put in
place to ensure taxing the rich and the affluent sections who have the capacity
to pay at a higher degree. The corporate service sector, traders, wholesale
business, private hospitals and institutions etc. should be brought under
broader and higher tax net. Increase taxes on luxury goods and reduce indirect
taxes on essential commodities as at present the overwhelming majority of the
populations are subjected to Indirect taxes that constitute 86% of the revenue.
§ Concrete steps must be taken to recover huge
accumulated unpaid tax arrears which has already crossed more than Rs.5 lakh
crore on direct and corporate tax account alone, and has been increasing at a
geometric proportion. Such huge tax-evasion over and above the liberal tax
concessions already given in the last two budgets should not be allowed to
continue.
The SIT constituted for unearthing black money
must deliver visible result which is yet to be seen. Effective measures should
be taken to unearth huge accumulation of black money in the economy including
the huge unaccounted money in tax heavens abroad and within the country.
Finance Minister should make provisions to bring back the illicit flows from
India which are at present more than twice the current external debt of US $
230 billion. This money should be directed towards providing social security.
Concrete measures be expedited for recovering the
NPAs of the banking system which is on the increasing trend again from the
willfully defaulting corporate and business houses. By making provision in
Banking Regulations Act, CMDs and Executives to be made accountable for
creation of NPAs.
Tax on Long term capital gains to be introduced;
so also higher taxes on the security transactions to be levied.
The rate of wealth tax, corporate tax, gift tax
etc. to be expanded and enhanced.
ITES, outsourcing sector, Educational
Institutions and Health Services etc. run on commercial basis should be brought
under Service Tax net. Govt.
Small saving instruments under postal and other
agencies be encouraged by incentivizing commission agents of these scheme
OUR SERIOUS CONCERN:
We would like to express our strong resentment that the previous Govt. failed to positively respond to the collective voice of the Central Trade Unions on the very important issues concerning the working people of India, both organized and unorganized, consistently repeated in the form of a ‘10 point charter’ backed by several collective nationwide programmes. We expect that this Govt. will take initiative to discuss these issues with the Central Trade Unions in order to find a solution.

We expect that this Govt. will take initiative to discuss these issues with the Central Trade Unions in order to find a solution.
We also express our opposition to the so called
Banking Reforms encouraging private sector/capitalists banking at the cost of
public sector banks which saved the economy to an extent during the last global
financial meltdown. We also oppose increase in limit of FDI and disinvestment
of equity in insurance sector and FDI in pension. We strongly oppose the FDI in
Defence and Retail Sector. Several such measures against the working men and
women in this country including anti workers proposals contained in the New
Manufacturing Policy have our strong opposition, as in our experience these
kinds of measures have helped the growth of only a small section of the
capitalists while the larger sections of the working population continue to be
marginalized and impoverished.
We also oppose the hectic measures of changing
labour laws in the name of labour reform both by the central and the state
governments which are basically aimed at legitimizing ongoing widespread
violations by the employers’ class and also throw out overwhelming majority of
the workforce of the purview of the labour laws themselves at the total mercy
of the employers.
POST BUDGET MEETING WITH TRADE UNIONS
Successive Finance Ministers have agreed to hold
post budget meetings / consultations with the central trade unions. However, it
has not been materialized except for one occasion. We understand such meetings
did take place with the Corporate Associations/Employers Federations. We would
like to importunate upon you to arrange such post budget meeting with trade
unions also.
