Dear Comrades,
GET READY FOR
STRIKE TILL SETTLEMENT - WE SHALL NOT WITHDRAW STRIKE WITHOUT SETTLEMENT. ORGANISE
STRIKE WITH ALL SERIOUSNESS AND COMMITMENT!- INDEFINITE STRIKE FROM 16.10.2012
We have successfully conducted National convention on
24-08-2012 with 1800 delegates from 21 circles at Agarawal Dharmashala, Model
Town, Delhi-110009. It remained historical and colourful convention in the
history of trade union movement. CHQ expressed heartfelt thanks to all our
leaders and members for their co-operation and their full support to AIPEDEU.
We acquired new strength with the support of 95% GDS comrades all over the
country.
As per the aspirations
and demands of our grass root level comrades, we have taken BOLD step to plunge
into indefinite strike from 16.10.2012. Comrades, you are all aware that our CHQ has
demanded all the pressing problems of GDS such as regularization, enhancement
of Bonus ceiling, Implementation of Medical Scheme, to stop abolition of GDS
posts, restoration of promotion under seniority quota and filling up of all
vacant posts in all categories, grant of cent percent compassionate
appointment, Implementation of Sri. V.P. Singh, Committee report on Pay
protection etc., and brought them to the notice of Secretary (Posts) and the
hon’ble Minister. A delegation headed by Com. Mahadevaiah also met the Minister
and urged him for his intervention to settle the GDS problems. Hon’ble Minister and Secretary (Posts) assured
our general secretary many a times, but no single issue was settled. Under
these circumstances there is no other option before us except struggle. We have
taken initiatives to form GDS JCA at National level. But could not succeed and therefore
now compelled to serve Notice for indefinite strike on 21-09-2012 as per the
decision of supreme forum of AIPEDEU. BUT WE SINCERELY APPEAL TO ALL GDS
EMPLOYEES TO JOIN THE MAIN STREAM TO REALISE OUR LONG PENDING DEMANDS.
The following three phase
programme should be observed effectively before the Indefinite strike.
1. Conduct hunger fast on 1-10-2012 at public place all
over India.
- Send memorandum to the finance minister,
Communication minister and Secretary Posts and local MPs by speed Post on
5-10-2012. The memorandum format copies are sent along with this circular.
- Conduct Rally at Divisional Head Quarters and important
places from 10-10-2012 onwards and ORGANISE PADAYATRA THROUGH OUT THE
COUNTRY TO EXPRESS OUR UTTER DISSATISFACTION AND FRUSTRATION OVER THE ILL
TREATMENT/STEP-MOTHERLY ATTITUDE.
Every member should work
like a soldier to achieve our demands. No doubt victory is ours. We appeal all
our well wishers, Federations, unions to extend support and solidarity to this
Indefinite strike for the cause of downtrodden, the much exploited GDS
comrades.
Yours fraternally,
(S.S. Mahadevaiah)
General
Secretary
