Conduct Rule No.6: Joining Of Associations Or Unions By Railway Servants

6.   Joining Of Associations Or Unions by Railway Servants:-

No railway servants shall join, or continue to be a member of an association or union the objects or activities of which are prejudicial to the interests of the sovereignty and integrity of India or public order or morality.

Note:  It is not permissible for a gazetted railway servant to join any association of non-gazetted railway servant like a Railway Employees Union. When a non-gazetted railway servant who is a member of a Railway Employees’ Union is promoted to gazetted rank, either in an officiating or permanent capacity he shall resign his membership of such Union. If, however, the officer concerned satisfies the General Manager of the railway concerned that by such resignation he will lose financially or otherwise under any beneficent scheme organized by such Union such as death or accident insurance, he may be permitted to continue as an ordinary member, but not as office bearer or representative, of that Union. The responsibility for satisfying the General Manager in this respect will rest with the officer concerned.
