The 12000Skilled workforce of ABWs are an asset to the Nation. The Government has deliberately ignored the ABWs by not providing them technological and modernisation supports etc. Therefore the Government decision needs to be reviewed and the decision taken to implement the GOCO Model in the ABWs may be withdrawn. 2) Anomalies in the surpl ing of the 29 Station Workshops which hav: been closed should be settled in the interest of the affected employees: 3) Employees should not be punished in payment of Bonus less than the minimum 30 days on the plea of low productivity, since the reason for less productivity in the Army Base Workshops is that sufficient workload is not provided to them. Therefore a minimum bonus of 30 days available to other Central Government employees and in accordance with Bonus Act should be ensured for the employees of EME. 4) Promotion of industrial employees should not be centralised and the same should continue to be given at the workshop level as in practice. 5) Promotion to the post of MCM is held up from 2010 onwards for no mistake of the ‘employees.
