Dear Sir,

The Employees/Worker’s of CMPDIL, a subsidiary of CIL would like to convey their grave concern and anguish over the inordinate delay for the payment of arrears as accrued from wage increase out of NCWA-VIII and demands that the CMD should make payment of the arrears preferably by 24/1/2010 which falls incidentally the day on which NCWA-VIII was signed last year to mitigate the suffering of the workers from ever increasing inflationary effect on the market. Further the delay in making payment of arrear also put the workers to loose a sizeable amount every month on account of interest which is likely to accrue for them on account of P.F. recovery.

This demonstration also notes the great disparities of the parks and fringe benefit between executive and non-executives which has created strong commotions and dissatisfaction among the coal workers at large and therefore demands immediate steps should be taken by the management to remove such disparities immediately.

This demonstration further demands that immediate settlement of clause of NCWA-VI,VII,VIII in the matter of medical benefits of the retired employees should be concluded to remove the suffering of old and ailing senior citizen of CMPDIL. It is also urges the management of CMPDIL to take appropriate steps for upward revision of pension if necessary granting required fund to the corpus. This demonstration express strong resentment that although by this time since the introduction of CMPS, pension amount should have been reviewed thrice as per CMPS 1998 but till this date no pensioners has got any relief, not their pension amount has been revised upward. It is disgraceful that a large number of retired employees have been getting Rs. 700.00 as their pension.

This demonstration also like to inform the management that Central Committee of CMSI(CITU) has resolved to call any sort of movement including Strike in CMPDIL , RI-I command area if the management of CMPDIL fails to make announcement for payment of arrears by 24/01/2010.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

TO CMD, CMPDIL (CIL) ON DEDUCTION FROM SALARY ON THE PRETEXT OF PERAUISITE TAX

Sub: Perquisite Tax

Dear Sir,

It is observed that some of the local managements of different collieries have started to deduct amount in the name of Perquisite Tax. In this connection, it would not be out of place to mention that the matter has not been discussed at any level. In the year 2006-07 it was discussed at CIL level and a committee was constituted with the representatives of Trade Unions & Management who jointly urged before the Government of India for exemption of such taxes in respect of coal workers. As most of the quarters of Coal workers are situated at the interior places and quality of the quarters are inferior in comparison to other P.S.U.s. It is needless to say that most of the coal workers’ colony or housing areas are till deprived from drinking water and education of the children of employees. As a result CIL management agreed upon with the views of Trade Unions for the payment of the amount by the company and not by the workers.

Under the circumstances, once again, we will request you to refrain your local management and area management from deducting any amount from the salary of the coal workers in the name of Perquisite tax to avoid any sort of movement from the part of the workman.

Thanking you while awaiting prompt action and early reply.

Yours faithfully
