Central Excise
Superintendents Observing Today As Black
Day Against 7th Pay Commission
All the Superintendents of
Central Excise posted throughout the country are observing today as a “black day” to
protest against some of the “retrograde recommendations” of the seventh pay
commission. We are observing today as a
black day all over the country by wearing black badges,” said Ravi Malik, Secretary General of AIACEGEO. Malik
said, “We hope that government will
think about us before accepting it.” In its report, the Pay Commission has
recommended to increase the pay gap between the minimum pay and maximum pay
from existing 1:12 to 1: 13.8 which is more than our demand of ratio of 1: 8,
he added. The fifth and sixth Central Commissions have given a pay rise of 40
per cent, while this Pay Commission has only given a pay increase of 14.29 per
cent,’’ he also said.
