Subject: - Report of Group of officers on G.D.S. Committees report.
Madam,
It has been reliably learnt that the Group of officers headed by Sri P.K. Gopinath as Chairman has submitted its report, which is not in keeping with the assurances handed out to us on 19.12.2008 as an agreement for withdrawal of the strike. It has come to the notice of this union that the Group of officers has done very minor patch—work or has applied very thin cosmetics on the report of the G.D.S Committee of Sri Nataraja Murti. This has created a very severe sense of resentment and anger in the G.D.S employees who feel to have been deceived. It has further been learnt that the pay scales, rate of increment and other allowances like HRA etc do not have the farthest relations with the full time counterpart employees. The rulings of the Hon'ble Supreme Court can not be disregarded in this way. A rule of law and Justice and not a rule of thumb should prevail in the case of G.D.S employees also.
A meeting of the Central Working Committee is being summoned to discuss and scrutinise the full report and a detailed analysis follows shortly.
We, therefore, request you not to take any unilateral and hasty action to push through unjust and discriminatory recommendation without consultation with us or the same will be counterproductive. We would further request you to ensure that this union and this union alone which is the legally authorized and recognised body to negotiate on the issue is consulted and none else who do not have any authority, right or recognition is the matter are allowed to mingle with and dilute the process or this attempt will be a larger stimulus to annoy the G.D.S employees.
Our detailed analysis with rock bottom of our requirement follows shortly.
We sincerely hope that this will be treated as most important and urgent.
Yours faithfully,
(S.S. Mahadevaiah)
General Secretary
