Net Result is ZERO

This was already been said in our blog that the symptoms of shifting of demands indicates withdrawal of the movement was very much inevitable. Now, the final death nail has been plugged last weak as the leaders of the WBCMPF Empl Union in joint consultation with the members of the Officers Association of Milk Federation compelled their members of both the organisations to sign in a letter (without letterhead) addressed to Sri Narayan Biswas, MIC-ARD, demanding immediate acceptance of resignation of Mr Tapas Kar, Manager (Q/C) prior to completion of ongoing departmental inquiry proceedings conducted by the departmental secretary and withholding of all the statutory benefits of Mr Kar, till the completion of the inquiry. It was very much well known to the leaders as well as to the officers that without completion of the domestic inquiry, as per the service conduct rule and until and unless Mr Tapas Kar was proved to be guilty, none can punish him or accept his resignation or withhold his statutory benefits if management once accept his resignation. Then the eventual question automatically arise, why such a apparently fullish demand was put forward? Was there a effort to provide an escape root to Mr Kar? The actual answer lies in the said letter itself. One should go through it to understand, what was the aspiration, who are the aspirants and why the others were dancing to the tunes of those aspirants. Try to read the letter.

Ultimately, as predicted the main demands have been side tracked and the whole movement is in the blind lane. The most striking feature of this movement is that for the very first time in the history of Milk Federation, that perhaps the management and the department clearly identified the faces of the vested officers those who were playing their cards behind the curtain and the leaders having the common vested interest. Therefore it is apprehended that the vested movement will be cut to size in due course of time by the department. And if that happens, that will be quite expected and legitimate as well. We repeatedly said this movement neither serves the interest of the working class nor the interest of the management.

The most unfortunate part of the whole issue is that WBCMPF Employees' Union never approached to WBSDEF being an affiliated trade union of ours, at-least for the sake of early and proper settlement.

Let the good sense prevail.
