TODAY MASSIVE DHARNA OF AIGDSU
ENLARGED CENTRAL WORKING COMMITTEE
ALL INDIA GRAMIN DAK SEVAKS UNION (AIGDSU)
ENLARGED CENTRAL WORKING COMMITTEE
GURUDWARA, RAKAB GANJ, NEW DELHI-110001
17-12-2014 to 18-12-2014
DECLARATION
The enlarged Central
Working Committee of All India Gramin Dak Sevaks Union being held at Gurudwara,
Rakab Ganj, New Delhi from 17-12-2014 to 18-12-2014 expressed serious concern
and anguish over continuing indifference and in action by the Dept. of Posts
and Govt. of India to honour the agreement made between this union and Member
(P) on 21-02-2014 during indefinite strike.
The enlarged CWC
congratulates the leaders, members and well wishers of AIGDSU for the
unprecedented success of the enlarged CWC. The strikes and struggles of 2014
have strengthened and widened the unity of GDS fraternity.
It is known fact that the
GDS are creating revenue to the Dept. of Posts by implementing various schemes
such as MGNREGS, SSP, PLI and RPLI. If all types of work done by GDS have to be
taken into workload, the BOs will be departmentalized with more than eight
hours work.
It is learnt that the
Department of Posts and the Govt. of India decided to appoint officer committee
to examine the service conditions and wage structure of GDS by violating the
agreement made with this union.
AIGDSU vehemently opposed
the decision of the Department of Posts to appoint officer committee to examine
wage structure and service conditions of GDS when discussions took place
between the leaders of AIGDSU and officers of the Department in the month of
November. We are ready to take any sort of trade union action for Judiciary
committee with retired Supreme Court or high court judge as chairman we denied
the request of the Department of Posts regarding to submit the terms of
reference to one man committee. We categorically said whether the Department of
posts appoints judiciary committee, We will submit our terms of reference. We
felt that there is no need to submit terms of reference to the Department. We
have to submit terms of reference to the judiciary committee.
If the Department
appoints an officer committee violating the agreement, everybody not only the
Postal employees but also the public lost confidence in the Department of
Posts. The Department of Posts losts its credibility and nobody will trust the
Department in future.
If the Department
appoints an officer committee ignoring the agreement, AIGDSU will totally
boycott the committee and initiate serious trade union action including
indefinite strike for the realization of the following demands.
DEMANDS
(1) Appoint Judicial Committee under the
Chairmanship of retired Supreme Court or High Court Judge by Honouring the
21.2.2014 Agreement.
(2) Regularize GDS employees and grant all
facilities at par with Departmental employees.
(3) Scrap Revised Recruitment Rules and Restore
1989 Recruitment Rules.
(4) Remove merit point system on compassionate
appointments.
(5) Enhance cash conveyance allowance and reduce
cash handling norms from Rs. 20,000/- to Rs. 5000/-
(6) Implement
Rastriya Swasthya Bheema Yojana (RSBY) Immediately.
The enlarged CWC appeals
all the GDS in the Department of Posts to take part in the ensuing indefinite
strike of AIGDSU to achieve our justified demand.
