NOTICE FOR NATIONAL EXECUTIVE MEETING

Conf/No: 3/2012 Dated: 12^th March, 2012

Dear Comrade,

National Executive Committee meeting of the Confederation on 28th April, 2012 at Kolkata:

The last National Council meeting of the Confederation which was held at Kochi, Kerala had authorised the National Sectt. to finalise the dates for the March to Parliament programme and strike action in pursuance of the 14 point charter of demands. The National Sectt, however, noted that the last National Council meeting unfortunately did not have the presence of many comrades, ofcourse for compelling reasons, and the decision to embark upon strike action ought to have been with the consent and approval of the affiliates. It was, therefore, opined that we should convene a National Executive Committee meeting which is composed of the National Sectt. members, Secretaries of all the State Committees and the Chief Executives of all affiliates with more than 3000 members. It was also decided by the National Sectt. that the Secretary General must ensure the presence of all Executive Committee members in the said meeting, so that the historic decision will have the seal of approval of all concerned.

Taking into account the fact that most of the affiliated Associations/Federations have their CHQ either at Delhi or at Kolkata we have decided to hold the meeting at Kolkata on 28^th April, 2012. The West Bengal State Committee has agreed to host the meeting of the Executive Committee. They will through another communication intimate you of the exact venue of the meeting. We request the major affiliates like, NFPE, ITEF, Audit and Accounts, Ground Water Board, GSI, Survey of India, Printing and Stationery etc. to make their own arrangements for stay etc. The Secretaries of the State Committees may please intimate Com.
