Confederation Strike Notice (12 Feb 2026): 8th CPC Demands & ‘Dies Non’ Warning

What Changed: The Strike Call

The Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers has served a formal notice to the Cabinet Secretary, announcing a massive One-Day Strike on February 12, 2026. The primary agenda is to demand a modification in the Terms of Reference (ToR) of the 8th Central Pay Commission, specifically regarding the Minimum Wage formula and the Fitment Factor.

The New Protocol: Consequences of Participation

While Unions have the right to protest, Government employees are bound by the CCS (Conduct) Rules. Participation in a strike usually invites the principle of “No Work, No Pay”.

Timeline/Calculation: The Financial Impact

If the government declares the day as “Dies Non”, here is how much salary you might lose for a single day of strike.

Respected Sir/Madam,

With reference to the strike call given by the Confederation on February 12, 2026, I, Vikram Singh, Designation Tax Assistant, hereby submit that I am not a member of the participating union and do not intend to participate in the strike.

I will be reporting for duty at 09:00 AM. In case of any obstruction at the entry gate by protesters, I request that my attendance be marked based on this intimation to avoid any “Dies Non” or break in service.

Alternatively, if the office is closed due to security reasons, kindly treat this as my willingness to work.

Yours faithfully,
