NFIR’s Decision on Strike Notice – taken up by Honarable Minister of Railways in Lok Sabha.

Respected Railwaymen & Women,

Dt: 21.08.2013

NFIR, during its working committee meeting held at New Delhi on 30-31st May 2013 put forth 36 demands to be redressed immediately failing which the Railwaymen shall be constrained to go for a strike. On 24th June 2013 during the Steering Committee Meeting held at Mumbai a threadbare review was again done on the demands made during the Working Committee Meeting at New Delhi and it was then and there decided to conduct a “Strike Ballot” in the event of the demands not being met.

HONESTY LEADS TO HEIGHTS: NFIR known for its legacy of putting relentless efforts when it comes to the welfare of Railwaymen, did not stop with this but went one step ahead than any other federation, when GS/NFIR addressed a letter to the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India and Minister of Railways on 28th June 2013 with the list of demands and cautioning them of repercussions in the event of demands not being fulfilled. Once again the ethics of NFIR were evident in these letters wherein it gave a considerable time (four months i.e., upto October 2013) to the Government to resolve the demands. NFIR does not believe in hoodwinking the railwaymen and women neither by misleading nor by misinterpreting the facts but believes only in protecting the interests and welfare of Railwaymen through honest and dedicated working.
