Who is opposing to provide Group B status to PB-2 (JE/SE/SSE) in Railway ?

The common category of Subordinate Engineers are fighting since long to provide them Group B status, hence opposition may not be from their part as general. Govt. of India has no opposition since all Central Govt. Deptt has implemented Gr B status for PB-2 employees as per DOPT guideline issued vide Gazzette Notification No 605 issued on 9 April 2009. Railway Board may take its own decision not to provide classification as per SCPC recommendation but whether any policy decision may be taken by the Rly Bd without prior consent of recognised Federation ? If so what are the Federation doing to oppose such demoralizing decision taken by the Board to provide Gr C to all PB-1 including earlier Gr D & PB-2 employees up to GP-5400 in many cases.

The views of Engineers may be posted here for wide publicity.

Why a JE in Railway should be entitle for AC-II pass for journey ?

Jr Engineers of all Central Govt Deptt. are entitle for travel in AC-II while on duty or in LTC. Railway should provide such entitlement to their JE to boost their moral high, since their artisans are entitle in AC-II and being their supervisor JE should be given entitlement not below their workman.
