Central Govt staff grievance redressal scheme to continue

Our Bureau

New Delhi , Aug. 19

THE Government on Wednesday stated that enough safeguards are already available to the Central Government employees through the Joint Consultative Machinery (JCM) scheme for grievance redressal and that it did not want to change the existing arrangement.

Replying to a calling attention motion in the Lok Sabha, the Minister for Personnel, Public Grievance and Pensions, Mr Suresh Pachauri, said that as per the Supreme Court judgement in August 2003, no right to strike — whether fundamental, statutory or equitable or moral right is available to Government employees.

The JCM scheme, the Minister said, has been working for many years and has proved its usefulness and provides a time-tested forum for resolution of differences, if any, between the Centre and its employees associations and trade unions.

"The Government does not propose to change the existing arrangement," Mr Pachouri said.
