Make the Delhi demonstration on 15.02.2018 a grand success.

At the, outset we congratulate the affiliated Unions of the three Federations and the other Unions and Associations and the entire Defence Civilian Employees for effectively observing “Defence Industry Protection Week” from 08.01.2018 to 12.01.2018. We. are also happy to know that after the above programme the Unions are continuing their propaganda and campaigning against the retrograde policy decisions being taken by the Government against the interest of Defence Industry and its Employees.

As per the decision already taken we have to successfully organise the Massive Demonstration at Delhi on 15.02.2018. We have already applied for permission with the Police Authorities for holding the demonstration at Parliament Street, New Delhi. We request the Unions in and around Delhi and nearby States to organize in large number for the demonstration. Unions from other places may also take efforts to mobilize the maximum number of Employees for the demonstration. The demonstration will start at 9.30 AM and concluded by 14.00 hrs.

As decided jointly by the three Federations the above Establishments have to observe “One Day Call Attention Strike” on 15th March 2018. For this purpose, all the affiliated Unions Functioning in these units have to take Strike Ballot as per the schedule given below :
