CIRCULAR

CIRCULAR

Dear members,

Recent information at OFB and MOD and our activities of our Association.

1-    Issue of Brief Case to all the Gazetted Officer in all the unit of ordnance factories- Circular for provision of  Brief Case/Hand Bag for Official use to  Gazetted Officers in Ordnance Factories will be published by OFB  shortly.

2-    Promotion from JWM to AWM- Promotion order from JWM to AWM is expected to be published within 1st week of JUNE.

3- Liaison cell at Proof Establishments- Association letter- NDGBGOA/CE/21/2014-04 dated 04/04/2014 was appreciated by Member A&E and further action will be taken at OFB very shortly.

4-    Cadre Review of JWMs- Cadre Review proposal has been forwarded to  MOD in which OFB has not mentioned about the non Functional up gradation and has not increase the no of post in PB- III as discussed in the joint meeting(12/03/2014). General Secretary visited OFB and MOD  for clarification and finally the proposal sent by OFB was opposed by NDGBGOA due to following reasons.

  •     AT present many JWMs are availing Grade pay of 6600 by means of MACP (30 YEARS) which can not be possible in future, as OFB has proposed for Section Manager in Grade Pay 5400 PB-II and  Senior Section Manager in Grade Pay of 5400 PB-III without mentioning Non Functional Up Gradation . This proposal will make financial loss to the JWM cadre.    
Therefore NDGBGOA has protested the proposal  and demanded as follows.
  •       There should be only one non functional up Gradation in JWM i.e in Grade pay of 5400 in PB-III which will not affect financial benifit by means of MACP. More over there will not be any financial repercussion as  those JWMs who will be placed at PB-II would have crossed the minimum limit of PB-III (15600).
  •       The promotional hierarchy of JWM (SG) should not be in same pay band of PB-III and Grade Pay of 5400 (AWM).The promotion hierarchy should be in the next Grade Pay of 6600 (WM). 
5-  TRANSFER OF JWMs- Transfer of JWMs in compassionate ground may be published very soon. Meeting for the second phase of compassionate ground transfer will be held by OFB  in this week.

6- INCENTIVE FOR JWMs- NDGBGOA has demanded Incentive to all the JWMs and PS at par with RAILWAY. The matter has taken up at OFB and MOD.

IMPORTANT CIRCULAR

NDGBGOA
Propaganda by IOFGOA on Cadre Review
Dear friends,
       It is observed that IOFGOA is misleading about the Cadre Review of JWMs in all the branches. Branch Office Bearers of IOFGOA are putting blame that. as NDNGSA was trying to keep four grade structures, NDGBGOA has made three grade structures in JWM cadre.
This allegation by IOFGOA is nothing but to change the mindset of the members.
 Dear friends, IOFGOA always tells we are the 1st Association in Ordnance Factories which commands more than 70% membership in Ordnance Factories, how one small Association with less membership can make any decision in OF BOARD? When both the Association was sitting in the meeting, in the beginning why IOFGOA accept the proposal without any comments? From the above, every member can know about the politics of IOFGOA.
 Apart from the above General Secretary of IOFGOA misleading to our office bearers and Branch members that only one Association will work in this cadre and they are misguiding our members for merging of Association.
             Dear friends, all are aware that IOFGOA has put a court case at CAT, JABALPUR asking   4800 Grade Pay for JWM which was dismissed by the CAT. As per their views getting 4800 Grade pay is a big thing for JWMs. By comparing with the view of IOFGOA OFB was put up this proposal.
         NDGBGOA has submitted Cadre Review Proposal for 5400 Grade Pay and 6600 Grade Pay in PB-III for JWM Cadre in a Justified manner and approached Ministry as well as OF BOARD by which Cadre Restructure meeting was held. NDGBGOA has sent the cadre review proposal copy to IOFGOA for their support but IOFGOA has not opened their views and till date they are silent about the future prospects of JWM cadre. If at all IOFGOA is not satisfied in this proposal why they are not giving in writing to withdraw the proposal as they commands more membership.             
 NDGBGOA has confirmed followings from OFB on cadre review of JWMs.
1-      JWM (SG II) and JWM (SG I) will be non functional up gradation which will not affect the MACP to reach Grade pay of 5400(PBIII) within 10 years of services.
2-        Instead of waiting for 10 years, one JWM can reach to 5400(PB II) within 5-6 years (non Functional up gradation).
3-      In the next meeting NDGBGOA will demand for promotion of JWM (SG- I) to WM (6600 GP) instead of AWM which may solve our problem to some extent.
Office bearers Meeting of NDGBGOA will be held on 15-04-2014 at O.F.Ambajhary (Nagpur) regarding cadre review and proposal for 7th CPC. Decision will be taken for further course of action.
All are requested to go through this circular and inform our members accordingly..
            NDGBGOA ALWAYS TRIES TO RESOLVE THE ISSUES NOT LIKE IOFGOA THOSE HAVE MADE THE MERGING AND COULD NOT ANSWER ABOUT OUR NATURE OF WORK AND FINANCIAL BENEFIT.AFTER MERGING, NDGBGOA HAS TAKEN UP THE CASE (OA no-1763/2013) ON NATURE OF WORK AND FINANCIAL BENEFIT OF JWMs IN HONORABLE CAT, CHENNAI AND WAITING FOR THE FINAL VERDICT WITHIN VERY SHORT PERIOD. The next hearing of the case is on 3rd June 2014.

NDGBGOA request your kind support to make better cadre and a better organization.

With regards

General Secretary/NDGBGOA
