13th July,2010 Indefinite Strike Call given by the JCA & GDS Unions DEFERRED.
Dear Comrades,
We are overwhelmed with the tremendous response to the Strike call from every quarter of this organisation and we extend warm revolutionary Greetings to each and every member. The reports that we were receiving about the preparations were heartthrilling. Hats off to you, Comrades! Once again it is proved that the battle will not stop till we achieve desired results. It was a collective decision rather in the interest of both the department and the public. In the mean time certain developments have taken place. On 11th July,2010 JCA meeting was held at Delhi and reviewed the Strike preparations. Some section/cadres and some Circles had not taken action for due mobilization. However, the department called meeting on 12th July,2010 with Secretary Dept. of Posts and the minutes of the meeting is enclosed herewith. Of course there is slight improvement in few items like Downgradation of EDSOs to EDBOs drawal of increments in case of downgradation of EDSOs to EDBOs will be issued. A presentation will be arranged by Technology Branch for the Staff side to demonstrate all the technological developments that are taking place especially in the context of functioning of EDSOS/EDBOS. Welfare measures in favour of Gramin Dak Sevaks viz relief in case of prolonged illness, relaxation of education assistance schemes will be placed before Postal Staff Welfare Board in its next meeting. The issues of Annuity and Health Scheme have been taken up with the Nodal Ministries.
Recruitment Rules for Multi Tasking Staff - the draft rules to be referred to Department of Personnel for approval. As regards educational qualifications of existing Gramin Dak Sevaks and Casual Labourers for appointment as multitasking staff, status quo will be maintained. Grant of temporary status to eligible full time status casual labourers, convert part time into full time, absorb full time, part time, contingent in vacant GDS Posts. The entire issue of Casual Labourers will be looked into with the objective of liquidating their number as per policy of the Government. Where ever dissatisfaction on burning problems like Removal of discrimination on bonus ceiling, Rs.20,000 for one point cash handling and other issues still we have to continue our efforts to achieve our goal. Keeping the entire developments and circumstances in view in the interest of unity in JCA we have also agreed to defer indefinite Strike of 13.07.2010 till further notice.
2nd Installment of arrears, 60% for GDS
By this time action to effect payment of 2nd installment of Pay arrears, 60% for GDS must be under processed or payment was paid in many Circles. Some Circles/Divisions are yet pay. Please ensure that the arrears are paid at the earliest. There are some problems of curtailment in arrears, downward revision of TRCA, etc. This is because of administrative problems such as non review of TRCA/establishment periodically. These lapses on the part of the local officers are to be set right by the administration at the base level. The Divisional and Circle Secretaries are to look into the matter for speedy action.

APPEAL:
As already requested Rs.200/-(Two hundred only) per member may be collected and sent to CH Q as donation. This amount would be of high value to the CHQ as the same is proposed for UNION BUILDING FOR GDS CHQ AND LEGAL EXPENSES.
Please take this matter seriously and sincerely to ensure effective functioning of AIPEDEU at Central Head Quarters.
Comrades, this break should be utilized for further galvanization and strengthening of organisation, for education of members and for making fool-proof preparations for the effective struggle, in case the Department Continues to be negative and back-tracking.
FLASH NEWS: Proposal of Annuity Pension Scheme for GDS employees is now cleared by FINANCE. The department will pursue the matter further.
