Demand letter
Disagreement with the Honourable Minister of Federal Affairs and General Administration regarding Article 34 (3) of the Constitution, Article 180, Sub-Article 1 (b) of the Labour Act 2074 and the Convention of the International Labour Organization (ILO), and the Committee on State Management and Good Governance of the Official Trade Union District Working Committee Kailali regrets that the bill was passed in the name of majority without any quorum. The proposed Civil Service Bill is currently completely retrograde and unjust in terms of service facilities, service security, and professional development of all levels and categories of employees which has the employees in an agitated state psychologically and physically. Federal Parliament has agreed to make arrangements for the formation, operation and conditions of service of the Federal Civil Service In this context, regarding the security of service condition of Article 58 of the Civil Service Act, 2049 BS, he said, Contrary to the provisions of the explicit provision, all the civil servants have been affected by the conditions of service contrary to the consent and acceptance of all the employees.
It is clear that the Federal Civil Service Bill proposed by the State Management and Good Governance Committee is an attempt to destroy the civil service mechanism. In the second historic people's movement of 2062-06, the commitment made by the then seven political parties to establish trade union rights for the civil servants where the bill was passed by the State Management and Good Governance Committee without including the national level trade unions.
Regarding the terms and conditions of service, facilities and trade union rights in the existing Civil Service Act, 2049 BS, Hon'ble Prime Minister K.P. Contrary to the commitment made by Sharma Oliju at the Civil Service Day Main Ceremony on September 7, 2075 BS, there is no reduction in the existing trade union rights.
The report passed by the Committee on State Management and Good Governance has raised many complaints from various pressure groups of civil servants working in different departments and levels about the undemocratic provisions and the conclusion of the official trade unions and national level trade unions is that these issues are justified.
In order to motivate the general employees who work in the field, the implementation of state policies and programs in accordance with the law, timely provisions should be made in the provisions of trade union rights, protection of service conditions, recruitment and career development in the Civil Service Act, 2049 (Amendment 2064). Retroactive provisions that cut even the rights and service facilities obtained can never be accepted. Instead of addressing the demands made by the official trade unions to the Ministry of Federal Affairs and General Administration in consultation with the national trade unions to formulate a federal civil service act to ensure speedy civil service flow and guarantee the rights of employees. The Bill passed with discriminatory and unjust provisions
Therefore, we demand to repeal such provisions mentioned in the bill and make arrangements to issue the Federal Civil Service Act as soon as possible. If the Act is issued without addressing these legitimate demands, we would like to inform you that we will be compelled to carry out more agitation programs.
