Every
group ‘B’ officer of Ordnance factories is aware about the repercussion of 6th
CPC to our cadre, where our importance was not felt by the organization and we
were placed to the lowest level in comparison to group ‘A’ and group ‘C’ cadres,
in financial as well as promotional aspects. Each and every time, in meetings
or elsewhere, the entire higher officials used to utter that group ‘B’ cadre
(Middle management) is the back bone of the organization and without their
hearty involvement organization cannot be brought up to a high level. But they
have never thought how to improve the morale of this cadre so that the
organization can be brought up to a greater height. It is a fact that the
decision makers of our Ordnance Factories always have a very small tenure and
in that small time span it is difficult for anyone to think for a long period
and future of the organization. During their short tenure they could manage to
complete their current targets by considering the demands of large group of employees
i.e. the demand of group ‘C’ cadre. More over group ‘C’ employees has also got
many forums to take their demands and get fruitful results on same. But group ‘B’
cadre has got very limited forums to represent their grievances/demands as per
the provision of Govt of India. Therefore our grievances/demands have to be
taken up by us and materialize them not only for the betterment of the cadre
but also for betterment for our organization. Dear friends every group B cadre officer
would have felt about the existence of association after formation of NDNGSA in
ordnance factories and it is continuously striving for betterment of
organization and justice for the cadre.
As Chairman, OFB has not
agreed to the bye-laws amendment proposal of NDNGSA to continue Chargeman and
JWM in same NDNGS Association, our central executive met on 09/02/12 at Medak
and decided to form NDGBGOA (NATIONAL DEFENCE GROUP B GAZETTED OFFICERS
ASSOCIATION) as second ASSOCIATION for JWM to give justice to the cadre in a
right spirit. It is clearly understood from this that OFB wants the JWM’s to be
mum and also wants them to take up every responsibility given by superiors
without demanding anything not even proper compensation for duties i.e. salary,
allowances, welfare measures, etc.
Now it has become our responsibility
to think and look after ourselves and our needs. It is appealed to all the JWM’s
of OF organization to join their hands together in NDGBGOA so that your rights
are better fought for.
