Com.Vyasji has led various
struggles and strike actions of the Central Govt. Employees and was in the
forefront of the leadership which organised the first indefinite strike action
of the Central Govt. employees after independence, in the year 1960. Com.
Vyas was jailed and dismissed from service. He played an important
role in rallying the Central Govt. employees along with the striking Railway
employees in the year 1974. He was an able and uncompromising
negotiator with the Government in the JCM National Council and Standing
Committee. He was responsible for many of the benefits and
allowances enjoyed by the Central Govt. employees. The cost
indexation of wages was earned by the Govt. employees through the sustained
struggles and efforts in 1960s under his leadership. Confederation
of Central Govt. employees and workers representing about 15 lakhs Central
Govt. employees is in the forefront of the incessant struggle and strike
actions organised by Indian Working Class against the neo-liberal economic
policies of the Government. Com. S. K. Vyasji’s vision and
ideological clarity has made the Confederation, part and parcel of the
mainstream of the working class movement in India.
Com.
Vyasji was a friend, philosopher, guide and everything for the Central Govt.
Employees movement. In the more than six decades long trade union
life, Com.Vyasji endeared himself to every section of the Central Govt.
Employees. His death has caused irreparable and irreplaceable loss
to all of us. He was a great leader, symbol of simplicity, a gem of
a person and a leader who is down to earth, extremely polite, kind hearted and
compassionate; one of the finest human being, tallest leader, a gentle mentor
and a legend.
He
is in our hearts! His memories will be forever with
us! His long saga of struggle and sacrifice for the Central Govt.
employees and pensioners will inspire the generations to come.
