JCA to meet today to decide agitation programme including strike

Update on agitation from ITGOA
" ITGOA proposes to initiate the continuous programme of Agitation from the 2nd week of September, 2015 and the one-day Strike action in the month of October, 2015. The Central JCA has decided to convene an emergent meeting on 24-08-2015 at New Delhi to decide upon the date of Strike and other programmes of agitation in perseverance of our demands. Lunch Hour Demonstration will be held on 25-08-2015 before all Pr. CCIT (CCA) and other CCIT/CIT offices under the banner of JCA to adopt the resolution of non-cooperation/agitation including the Strike action and the same will be submitted to the CBDT on the same day."
Regarding All India Strike on 2nd September
"... the Central Trade Unions in the country have decided to organize yet another one day strike on 2nd September, 2015."
"The Income tax Employees Federation, our partner in the Joint Council of Action (JCA) has served the strike notice and is mobilizing their members to take part in this historic action. The ITEF had been able to register cent per cent participation of its members in the past in such actions. ITEF has also invited ITGOA to join hands in making the Strike call a grand success. ITGOA has the proud and magnificent record of taking part in such general actions in the past and align itself with the working people of the country. In that background and in deference to the CCGGOO decision, we appeal to all the ITGOA Units to extend solidarity support by participating in the Strike action on 02-09-2015. I also appeal our Units to take part jointly with the ITEF in all mobilization campaigns for the success of the Strike action."

It is evident from the above circular from ITGOA that they did not serve any such strike notice like ITEF and will extend solidarity support only. It implies that no consequential penal action for strike, if any, will not be applicable for their members.
In the other hand they are planning for another strike under the banner of JCA for the five point programme which is mainly for their interest, ITO to ACIT promotion. It may be argued that it will open consequential promotion avenue in the lower cadres also, but that may be applicable to all promotions in the department. Will they fight for CIT to Pr CIT/Pr CIT to CCIT etc. promotions also ?
Now it is to be watched carefully whether ITEF will extend only solidarity support to ITGOA's strike call which is for their immediate benefit ?

ITGOA always selfish fellows. They will come for agitation only when their demands are pending and after riding in ITEF's back they will go alone.

2nd September strike is not a strike called upon by ITEF the charter of demand does not include the departmental issue, thus there is no question to mix up both the strike calls.

Each organisation will have demands of their own.Such demands are required to be processed with the specific recommendation of the Appointing Authorities concerned,for causing issue of supporting government sanctions, represented by demands to the extent possible.Whether the strike is correct or in correct will come in the way only after procedural compliance.In the sense,the demands are to be relevant to the concerned organisations.
