I greet the FEDCUTA on the successful completion of the two day strike and wish the proposed 5th nov rally all success so that " the deaf hear" that teachers in this country should get what is their due atleast now. But I feel that at thishour of struggle we need to stand united and may be a call to the AIFUCTO WHOSE charter is no different from that of the FEDCUTA could also be invited to join the rally at least in a symbolic manner tho not in large numbers
with greetings

My warm greetings to FEDCUTA for its spontaneous reaction to the Chadha Committee Report, where injustice has been heaped on senior teachers. When our demand of III promotion has not reached the deaf ears of the powers that be over several long years, there is no reason why should the PRC should recommend 6 or 7 cadres. What is required is parity with Class I officers and this has been denied to us. To include teachers with more than 30 years service(there are teachers who became SG on 1.1.1986 in service on 1.1.2006,in whose case total service works out to 36 years - i.e., 16 years on 1.1.1986 plus 20 years as on 1.1.2006)in Pay Band 3 as compared with Class I officers who move in to PB in 14 years is a sort of capital punishment. Teacher organisations should decry this move strongly and fight unitedly to realise our just demands. Towards this college and University teacher organisations in the whole country should rise in one voice and prove the powers that be that they are wrong and we should teach them a lesson so that we can teach with grace, honour and peace, besides getting all anomalies of the earlier pay revision rectified.
with regards,
CRRAVI
