Resolution on policy and programme .
This meeting of the Central working committee of All India postal Extra Departmental Employees Union in session on 29th, 30th & 31st of July 2008 at Aggarwal Dhrmashala, Model Town-II, Delhi-7, seriously considered the pros and cons of the extension sought by and granted to Sri R.S Nataraja Murthy committee on GDS issues. This CWC has come to the conclusion that all does not appear to be well in the thinking of the Nataraja murthy committee with respect to the GDS employees.
This CWC is of strong opinion that the denial of audience by the Secretary, Department of post to the representatives of this union to record protest against the extension is not only bureaucratic but displays the contemptuous attitude of the Secretary, Department of Posts towards the GDS employees. This Union has already that demanded to submit an interim report of Sri Natarajamurthy Committee, which is yet to be directed to the Committee be submitted on basic issued, but no direction has been issued to Natarajamurthi Committee nor any intimation sent to the union.
To press the demand of the GDS employees that Sri Nataraja murthy committee must submit its report on the pay and allowances of the GDS employees while the second part of the report could be submitted latter, this CWC resolves that a sustained struggle must be waged.
This metting of Central Working Committee calls upon all Circle/Divisional/Branch Secretaries of AIPEDEU to stage intensive demonstration on 18-08-2008 at all levels and to pass a suitable resolution. The Circle/Divisional/Branch Secretaries to send Telegrams / Savingrams to the Hon'ble Minister for Communications & IT, Minister of State for Communications & IT expressing their strong resentment of the issue.
This Central Working Committee further authorizes the General Secreary, AIPEDEU to finalize further program of action in consultation with sister Unions and Federation viz.,March to Parliament, indefinite strike in case the demand is not met by the given time.
Resolution II
This meeting of the Central Working Committee of All India Postal Extra Departmental Employees Union in session at Aggrawal Dharamshala Delhi form 29 to 31.07.2008 expresses its grave concern over the lethargic functioning of Sri Natarajamurthy Committee constituted to study and make recommendation of Pay and Allowances and Service conditions of the GDS employees. The extension of three months sought by and granted to the Committee betrays lack of justification, commitment and sincerity of the Committee.
This CWC very seriously feels that the Committee in order to avail the luxuries of the office on the Government cost about 2.8 lakh GDS employees for a ride and has put them to ransom. This CWC expresses its gravest disapproval of the attitude of the Committee.
This CWC records its serous disapproval of the bureaucratic attitude of the Secretary, Department of Posts, who very arrogantly denied an audience to the representatives of this Union who tried to communicate their reservation on the extension sought by Sri Nataraja Murthy Committee.
This CWC expresses its deep apprehension that this extension of the term of Sri Nataraja Murthy Committee is fraught with dangers of the serious injustice and discrimination against the GDS employees.
This CWC, therefore, keeping in view every aspect of the issues involved demands that the Sri Natarajamurthy Committee be asked and submit its report on the pay and allowances latest by the 20th August 2008 and the second part of the report in respect of other issues may be submitted later but not later thau the last date of the extended period.
In case it is not done, the members of the Union would be left with no alternative but to wage a sustained struggle to draw the public attention towards the injustice and to achieve the genuine demands.
