ITGOA withdraws from All India strike on 07/09/2010, ITEF to participate

Following are the versions of ITGOA and ITEF regarding the all India Strike scheduled on 7th Sep, 2010.
ITGOA Version :
"Majority Units of ITGOA have expressed their view/opinion, against participating in the All India Strike scheduled to be held on 07/09/2010, by the Confederation of Central Govt. Employees & Workers. The reason advanced by the units is none of the Gazetted Officers Association of Central Govt. Depts, are participating in the said strike on 07/09/2010. On a comprehensive consideration of the above situation, ITGOA has decided 'NOT TO JOIN THE STRIKE ON 07/09/2010'. All the Units Secretaries/President are requested to give a suitable intimation to the respective CCIT(CCA) and also inform the members, so as to remove any sort of confusion. With regards, B. Shanthi Kumar - President Rajesh Menon - Secretary General PS "


ITEF Version :
"We write this to request you once again to take all steps to mobilize the members to participate in the one day General Strike slated for tomorrow, the 7^th September, 2010.  We must continue our tradition of having cent per cent participation in the strike.  We know the decision of ITGOA to withdraw from the strike action has created difficulties, especially in some States where their leaders were with us in campaigning.  We must overcome this and if done, we can strengthen the efficacy of our organization further.  As per our report, more and more organizations of Central Government employees have decided to participate in tomorrow's strike.   The strike of 7^th September, 2010 is thus destined to be one in which the largest number of workers in the country will take part especially in the background of INTUC involving themselves in this action.

            We request you to kindly take the adverse situation brought about by the decision of ITGOA to advise their members not to participate in the strike, as a challenge and opportunity to make our Federation stronger and capable of organizing much higher form of action programmes."

Is it the begining of split in JCA ????
