WHO RAN AWAY FROM BATTLE FIELD ?
As you are aware our demand pertaining to
enhancement of bonus ceiling to Rs.3500/- has been recommended by the Department of Post to the Ministry of Finance. It is still under the consideration of Finance Ministry. We know now keen our members are for an early decision. We are continuously chasing it. We are pressurizing Department of Post officials to get final decision expedited. We are also taking help of
Parliament Members to persuade Finance Ministry to accept the demand and finalise decision immediately. Also other demands like RSBY medical scheme, Pay Protection etc. Some progress is there. We are on the job and a favourable
decision may come soon.
Beware of those who are spreading lies against our union and alleging that our request for face saving device was rejected by Minister/Secretary. They are spreading falsehood in order to weaken AIPEDEU, white washing their face which they blackened during our strike. More than 2.7 lakhs Gramin Dak Sevaks did not ran away from the battle field as they did. They fought valiantly for 7 long days. We met Postal Secretary and member (Personnel) a few times during strike.Settlement came about due to Secretary’s intervention and on the
strength of our strike. The All India average of strike was more than 60%. By no stretch of imagination it can be called fragmented strike.
Comrades, lot of false propaganda will be spread by NPFE against AIPEDEU in order to hide their betrayal of postal workers cause.
While Gramin Dak Sevaks fought valiantly those
who are writing lies in their magazines and website ran away from battle field, not once but four times. Strikes withdrawn by NFPE.
It will be seen during last 4 years 4 times
strike notice was given and on all the four occasions it was withdrawn without any gain to workers. Fighters are fighters, cowards are cowards. Let NFPE know we will fight again, very soon.
The unity of the postal workers was broken by the leaders of NFPE when
in the year 2007 they threw out of the Federation AIPEDEU the most militant and a fighting organization in NFPE representing more than 60% of the postal workers in the country in most unconstitutional and illegal manner without holding meeting of Federation, Executive or Federal Council. It was not broken by AIPEDEU. It was against the glorious traditions built by great P&T leaders. It is a black spot on the face of NFPE. The All India Postal Extra Departmental Employees Union declares that they are willing to join NFPE even today as an affiliate and thereby unite more than half million postal workers under one banner as was the position before 2007 when we were thrown out. This offer is despite back stabbing of AIPEDEU in recent strike
by NFPE.
This alone will restore glorious traditions of postal movement. You cannot fight Govt.’s policy of neo-economic liberalism by running away from strike four times in a row in a short span of ¾ years. The Gramin Dak Sevaks and AIPEDEU have shown the way in recent strike how to fight Govt.’s economic liberalism.
