The Railway unions mull ‘indefinite strike’ against privatization, it is because of the undermentioned reasons.

By Privatisation, the opportunities of the existing Railway staff in Group C and Group D, reaching a higher scale either by selection or by suitability cum eligibility is deprived off.

Calling ad for RRB recruitments for appointment to various categories of Railway posts under Direct quota is totally closed.

There will be no more open market Railway recruitments and the growth of existing Railway employees is shut.

In the case of privatization, Non- productive Railway employees, will be identified and settle them with packages. And, that is what is feared by the employees of IR since they may lose their job and all the facilities provided are to be withdrawn. The luxurious life and fantasies that they were hitherto enjoying would be lost.

Active employees will be piled up with key roles and tasks by reallocating the post temporarily.

The staff cost in Railways is exorbitant, which is a recurring loss to after 7th pay commission, and unions motivate the employees for an indefinite strike, without letting them know of the consequences.

However, IR can’t at a stretch privatize all areas and it may require time to finalize these factors and also with an intention to give a private player to be in readiness to step into these private operations duly mustering skilled youths from among the open market for a smooth transition from Govt to private bodies.

IR will also slowly capture the retirement vacancies and surrender to the bank of posts in Railways, manage the various departments with available staff resources and gradually the department will shrink over a period of years and will have its natural exit. Then there will be no staff unrest and unions will associate for these. By this span of time, Private players will enter into the action of operations of all positions of Railways.

Private players do not accept the theology of staff representation through the unions and they don’t recognize them. This is a boon for success.

The success behind private players, is that they will stick to duty hours, pay more, production will be more, no wastage of manpower, direct supervision, daily performance report and with reduced skilfull man powers, targeted profit can be achieved and finally the private player will be the best.
