IOOA agitate against non-implementation of 3rd PRC recommendations
The Indian Oil Officers Association (IOOA) held a gate meeting at their Punjab State Office in Sector 19, Chandigarh, against the non-implementation of the 3rd PRC recommendations. The meeting saw massive participation.
Salary revision for CPSEs (Central Public Sector Executives) takes place once in 10 years; the last pay revision being effective from January 1, 2007. The third PRC Committee, under the chairmanship of Justice (retd.) Dr. Satish Chandra, submitted its recommendations to the government of India on November 21, 2016, well within the stipulated time-frame. Subsequently, a Committee of Secretaries (CoS) was formed by the government in January, 2017, to review the third PRC’s recommendations. It allegedly curtails all the positive recommendations of the PRC. The cabinet approved the pay revision on July 19, 2017, mostly based on the CoS’s recommendations.
This has caused a huge disappointment among the executives’ fraternity, especially after office memorandums (OMs) were issued by the DPE for implementation of pay revision for executives and non-unionized supervisors in CPSEs.
The All India Central Executive Committee (AICEC) of the Indian Oil Officers’ Association, in its meeting on August 20, in Mumbai, deliberated on the DPE OMs for pay revision and expressed deep anguish on certain provisions of the OMs, which will not only have significant adverse impact on the officers, but also be detrimental for sustained growth of the Indian Oil in long term.
