Trade Union International (Pensioners
& Retirees) 3rd World Congress
The 3rd World Congress of TUI (P&R) is being
organized at Athens (Greece) from 14-18 April, 2024. Greece is an European
Country and we learn that the Pension Quantum was reduced 17 times in that
country and many Pensioners committed suicide also. Powerful movement by the
Pensioners Associations and Working Class of that country headed by WFTU and
TUI(P&R) have been launched. An appropriate country to hold the World
Congress of the TUI(P&R).
From India, six Delegates and one Visitor representing NCCPA,
AIBDPA and AIPRPA as well as a new Affiliate ‘All Kerala Bank Retirees Forum’
and an accompanying husband of a woman comrade from AIBDPA are to attend. So
far VISA is granted to 5 Comrades by Greece and the remaining two are trying
for VISA.
Comrades K.Ragavendran Secretary General NCCPA and TUI Asia
Coordinator; D.K.Debnath General Secretary AIPRPA; A.K.Ghosh Working President
NCCPA and Member of the Finance Commission TUI(P&R); Swastika Dasgupta
AIBDPA Vice President and Member of the Women Commission TUI(P&R); her husband
got the VISA so far.
Comrades K.G.Jayaraj General Secretary AIBDPA and Executive Committee
Member TUI(P&R); M.Suresh General Secretary AKBRF and a new Member TUI(P&R)
have not been given VISA so far by the Greece. The attempts are on and shortly
the results will be known.
The World Congress of TUI(P&R) is expected to be large
with representatives of a large number of countries of the world. The World
Congress will review our past growth and plan for the movement to be launched
by the world pensioners and retirees in all countries. We know well that
already each year October 1st is being observed as “World Pensioners
Day” by the TUI(P&R) synchronizing with the UN Call of “World Elders”. Against
the medical mafia who charge different medicines with different prices with a
profit motive is targeted and the world congress will plan action.
From India, we are going to emphasize an excusive action in
addition to World Pensioners Day as decided in our Thiruvananthapuram Regional TUI
(P&R) Conference recently. It is an occasion to understand the condition of
Pension and
Social Security in all countries today and to plan for appropriate action. We
will also take up the new affiliation to TUI(P&R) the ‘AKBRF’ and ‘DRPU’ as
they have expressed their desire to become affiliates of TUI(P&R).
NCCPA greets the Trade Union International (Pensioners and Retirees)
for its successful World Congress at Athens (Greece).

March – 8: International Women Day
The International Women Day on March 8 is observed in the whole
world. It is evident that the countries of Socialism depict a different picture
of safety and economic freedom to the women in contrast to the capitalist world
that is no doubt the overwhelming majority.
In the capitalist world, the women are looked upon as sex
objects and women trafficking is a major concern. Girls and women are forced
into sex trade and there is no humanity in this flesh trade. There is no
financial freedom to women in the capitalist countries where the working women
also are financially subservient to the men folk especially the husbands. The
equal pay for men and women is still a far cry in most of the countries except
in big businesses and Public Sectors.
International Women Day should be an eye opener and the women
folk should come out openly in opposing the injustices against them. The day is
creating awareness among the women folk more and more. But, wearing of same
sarees in the offices and celebrating the day with sweets etc are not going to
bring the situation to any change and the struggles alone can lead to
emancipation. The men folk no doubt should involve in the struggle but it is
the women who have to organize themselves and agitate against the prevailing
injustices.
WFTU (World Federation of Trade Unions) has taken initiative to
organize a symposium online today at 8.30 P.M IST. The topic of the
INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM is “THE ROLE OF WORKING WOMEN IN THE INTERNATIONAL
CLASS ORIENTED TRADE UNION MOVEMENT”. DANIA LEYVA (Cuba) and CINZIA DELLA PORTA
(Italy), members of the Educational Committee of the IWI (International Workers
Institute) will be addressing the symposium.
All are invited to participate online in Zoom. The LINK to Zoom
