To
Sri Ravi Shankar Prasad,
Honble Minister for Communications & IT
Government of India,
Sanchar Bhawan,
New Delhi-110001
Subject:- Humble request for treating the period of
strike which started on
10.3.2015 and was called off on 20.03.2015.
Respected Sir,
Most
respectfully we on behalf of 2.60 lacs of Gramin Dak Sevaks, the humble
servants of the Gramin population urge upon you to consider the following
submission in a head-of-family manner and issue necessary orders:
1. That
the Department of Posts family consists of the Hon’ble Minister, officers of
the Department, Departmental employees and Gramin Dak Sevaks. The Gramin Dak
Sevaks are like the youngest members of the family and need to be treated like
that.
2. That in
an attempt to remind the Department of Posts of its commitment signed on
21.2.2014 and to honour the commitment so that the Government may not be
accessed of dishonoring the written commitment the GDS employees staged a
strike, a simple strike peaceful and calm.
3. That
there was no subpages intimidation or violence. This was a simple way of
demanding justified from the elders of the department. There was nothing to
threaten the Government in any way. It was the most peaceful show the desire to
get what was promised.
4. That
the Gramin Dak Sevaks have cleared the pending work effactively and there has
been no drayage done. All work is being done efficiently and in an atmosphere
of peace and tranquility.
That sweet
labour relations are always most productive. To ensure this, it is necessary to
erase the scar that has occurred to the Gramin Dak Sevaks the smallest is the
family.
We,
therefore, very humbly request your honour to issue orders that the period of
strike be treated as aid leave. This will not cost the Government any extra
expenditure as otherwise the sevaks will avail the paid leave. On the other
hand this will promote even better and tranquil labour relation.
Hope you
will kindly consider the submission dispassionately and issue orders as
requested.
With
profound regards,
Yours faithfully
(S.S. Mahadevaiah)
General Secretary
