LET US ANALISE
Who is responsible for heavy attack on Gramin Dak Sevaks (GDS) NFPE or AIPEDEU?
We mostly respected the struggles conducted by NFPTE and NFPE before and after Independence we only opposed the leaders those who adopted disruptive and divided policy assumed the office after 2001.
Why the demand of departmentalization of GDS has not been achieved after 40 years though there was a land marked judgement of Supreme Court in the year 1977? Is 40 years time is not sufficient to achieve the demand?
Why not the Apex Court's Judgement is honoured? Comrades think? Whose failure is it?
Who accepted the package instead of Talwar Committee positive recommendations in 1998?NFPE or AIPEDEU?
If the positive recommendations of Talwar Committee had implemented, the present situation would not have arised to GDS, Is it true or not? Is it success or failure?
Why has the Government not accepted to implement Talwar Committee positive recommendations even after 2000, 14 days indefinite strike?
Who is responsible for this? NFPE or Newly born AIPEDEU?
Who is responsible for disunity in JCA during 2000 indefinite strike? NFPE or AIPEDEU?
Is it success or failure?
AIPEDEU launches indefinite hunger fast before Dak Bhavan demanding 50% merger to GDS also. After 9+4 days hunger fast NFPE leadership urged AIPEDEU to stop the hunger fast and assured to settle the demand through negotiations favourably. Later NFPE agreed to take 5% increase diluting the 50% merger. demand Is it shame or not?
Whose failure is it? NFPE or AIPEDEU?
Who is the responsible for formation of Nataraj Murthy Committee NFPE or AIPEDEU?
AIPEDEU conducted a national convention on 23rd May 2006 in Delhi with 2000 delegates from all over the country on single point Agenda. The convention resolved unanimously "GDS should be taken into purview of VI CPC". AIPEDEU built a strong movement and appealed NFPE to achieve this demand, convert this movement into indefinite strike with larger unity? But NFPE came to an understand with the Government for its recognition. AIPEDEU request for indefinite strike was not considered by NFPE?
Is it correct to dilute the movement in favour of the Government?
After 2001 there was no indefinite strike from NFPE till date AIPEDEU conducted an historical 3 days indefinite strike in 2008. Above 95% participation of GDS employees without cadre and banner compelled the department to settle the demands. In this juncture NFPE itself surrendered the Government and withdrew the strike after two days. The leadership of NFPE told that the department agreed to settle all the demands positively and there is no meaning to continue the strike. The GS of AIPEDEU Was also advised by NFPE to withdraw the strike? After that there was no achievement, who played drama? NFPE or AIPEDEU? Whose failure is it? Who dilute the movement NFPE or AIPEDEU?
Let us verify what are all the gains for Department employees after the taking over of the so called leaders as the Secretary Generals.
No achievement except sending out AIPEDEU from NFPE.
NO GAINS AFTER 2001
Not even a single strike has been conducted though AIPEDEU whole heartedly extended its cooperation with full strength. The destiny of the both Department and GDS employees was mortgaged to the government by withdrawing strikes five or six times without achieving single demand.
LET US THINK
1) AIPEDEU decided to demand for including GDS into purview of VI C.P.C. NFPE decided to surrender for recognition leaving the justified demand.
2) AIPEDEU conducted indefinite hunger fast for 50% merger. NFPE agreed for 5% enhancement of TRCA diluting the justified demand.
3) Department of Posts denied Rs. 3500/- Bonus to GDS. NFPE kept quiet and support the Government.
4) The strength of Departmental employees reduced from 3 lakhs to 2 lakhs, one lakh departmental posts had been abolished. There was no voice from NFPE against it.
5) Contributory Pension scheme was introduced for Department employees since 2004. NFPE could not prevent it till date.
6) There are approximately 150 justified problems pending with the department for years together. There is no serious protest so far from NFPE except requesting the Government.
7) There are injustice to allot the work to MTS in work sheet. No protest.
8) Thus NFPE lost its reputation after 2001 because of these disruptive leaders. Their only one Agenda is blaming Com.S.S.Mahadevaih with false allegations. They brutally propagated regarding Pay and Allowances of Com. S.S.Mahadevaih who decides the pay and allowances of the General Secretary? General Secretary himself decides or the C.W.C? The first C.W.C held at Culcutta under the Presidentship of Com B.V.Rao decided the pay and allowances of the CHQ office bearers taking the advice of veteran leader like R.A.P.Singh then General Secretary, P-III, Com Nony Banerjee and S.S.Roy.
But we don't understand why these leaders crying bitterly questioning the C.W.C decision?
The habit of some leaders of NFPE are acting undemocratically in all areas. After 2001 the CHQ of AIPEDEU did not appoint single adhoc committee in the country where as the department unions appointed so many adhoc committees to disturb the peaceful functioning of the lower bodies.
Let us verify the struggles and gains of AIPEDEU after its formation
1. A large number of agitations including indefinite strike have been successfully conducted for the justified demands of GDS.
2. Our continuous efforts made the committee to enhance the severance amount from Rs. 30,000/- to 60,000/-
3. To enhance the gratuity from Rs. 18000/- to 60,000/-
4. Conduction of promotional examinations after long time to GDS because of continuous efforts of AIPEDEU. Thousands of GDS employees got promotion to have better position.
5. There was no medical facility to GDS previously due to struggles of AIPEDEU Rashtriya Swastya Bhima Yojana was granted to GDS and his family members. It will be implemented soon.
6. The Pension scheme was withdraw to the departmental employees from 1-4-2004 and contributory pension scheme was introduced. After 2008 indefinite strike GDS were granted Pension (SDBS).
7. There was no transfer facility to GDS previously. Limited transfer facility was granted.
8. The DOP & T has given its approval for removal of 25% out side quota, recruitment.
9. Maternity leave, hike in allowances etc.,
More than 200 Government orders were issued to settle the GDS problems for 1999 to till date because of AIPEDEU uncompromised struggles.
We do not want to pay any attention towards false, baseless, ill-intentional, ill motto allegations made by so-called leaders.
I am ready to apologize the Postal Movement if the allegations made against me by the so called leaders in false pamphlet will be proved with evidences. Are they ready to applogize if they fail to prove? Are they ready to accept my challenge?
We do believe that there is no alteration except struggles and agitations to achieve our rightful and justified demands.'
There is a heavy task ahead before us.
Let us unite and fight. No body can stop us.
GDS unity Zindabad!
AIPEDEU Zindabad!
With May Day greetings
Yours fraternally,
S.S.Mahadevaiah,
General Secretary
