    Dear Comrades,

    Present scenario of trade union status of Operating categories over Indian Railways needs to be understood in new manner.
    Though AIRF and NFIR are part and parcel of Workers participation in management through JCM / PNM mechanism.
    History of Railway Board is such that working class particularly Operating staff never got a fair deal.
    Even today about 03 lac Railway employees are employed under 12 hrs. per day duty / 72 hrs weekly.
    Is it not surprising that India being one of the largest in size members of ILO, and one of the signatories of ILO convention of 08 hrs. duty ratified by The Parliament, Indian Railways is still to formulate measures to bring to equitable justice the HOER to 08 hr duty to all railway employees.
    Under AIRF and NFIR -- Railway employees form largest group of Organized and most represented work force in India. Despite this 08 hrs. duty is not available to all in last six decades.
    During 1974 AIRF led agitation 08 hrs. Duty was one of the main demands yet to be achieved.
    From the above i would like to draw few important facts before all of you;--
    1. The main reason is excessive powers to The Railway Board through Chairman Railway Board being ex-offico - Principal Secy. to the Govt. of India. No business head is ever an Administrator too. This aspect is very important for policy makers and trade union leaders to consider.
    2. The result of excessive powers to Railway Board is that " on 13-08-29173 loco Runningmen signed an agreement for Signing On to Signing Off duty 10 Hrs-----with the labor minister of India -- The agreement was accepted and Greated by The Parliament - next day, but this agreement is yet to be implemented"
    Had Chairman Railway Board not been Secy. to Govt. of India, The Agreement would have been in force today."

    3. While dealing with loco running staff the railway board officials are depressed to an extent that often say -- EDPC-1 Said to me in 2009 -- your 30% pay element should be reduced as you draw higher salaries. This view clearly reflected in Railway Board Denied Rates of KMA on the basis of formulae accepted by 4th and 5th pay commission, even though the 6th pay commission clearly refused to give any new formulae or deny the old formulae.
