Dear Comrades,

CHQ congratulates the affiliated units of NCCPA and the pensioners of all other organizations for participating in large number in the Hyderabad convention organized by NCCPA to make it a grand success. Our thanks are also due to the host Branch, Telangana State All Pensioners' and Retired Persons Association for arranging the convention in a befitting manner. National leaders of the trade unions in different fronts viz. Central Trade Union, Railway and Defense Employees Federations and confederation of Central Govt. employees enlightened the delegates on the attacks of neo-liberal economic policies in every walk of life of the common people including pensioners and stressed upon the need to organize effective movement by the pensioners of all sectors unitedly along with working people to defend the interest of the pensioners. An approved declaration is circulated separately.

Solidarity Programme in support of 2^nd September, 2015 strike by the Central Trade Unions and Central Govt. employees strike from 23-11-2015.

Declaration approved by the convention of All Pensioners Organisations unanimously decided to extend total solidarity to 2^nd September'15 strike by organizing Dharna/Demonstration etc. Organizing Dharna or holding Demonstration on the strike day may not be uniformly possible for all the States because of suspension of vehicular traffic on account of general strike. So, it may be planned according to local situation and campaign programme may be undertaken on earlier days in support of the strike.

As regards proposed indefinite strike by the Central Govt. employees from 23-11-2015, pensioners may jointly with State Co-ord. Committees of Central Govt. Employees or separately hold demonstration or sit on Dharna. Branches may communicate the nature of programme undertaken by them.
