Illulding the GDS Employees by a heap of lies
Kettle
calling the Pot black.
Attempt
to hide their failure. There is a vile attempt to disrupt our
unity by spreading falsehood for some time. some leaders in order to present
their personalities larger than life, even pose to be bigger than the
organisation they represent. The present NFPE leadership has strayed away from
the principles, constitution and spirit for which the forefathers of the NFPTE
and then NFPE stood. The NFPTE/NFPE stood for consolidation and not for
disruption. The NFPTE/NFPE resisted all attempts of the Government to create a
division amongst the employees. Even during the days when NFPTE was derecognised,
the then leadership did not budge from the principle and the derecognised NFPTE
remained intact and defient despite the fact that a rival federation was
recognised. The NFPTE/NFPE refuged to expel any union from it in face of
threats from the powers that be.
What does the present
leadership do? It resorts to every ugly tactics to make the members/local
leaders subservient to the whims of a particular person who heads many organisations
including the NFPE. The memory of the GDS is not that short. GDS remembers every incident. How can the GDS
forget? That the present leadership prefers to kneel before the administration
even at the cost or unity. How can he forget the GDS were pushed by the neck
out of NFPE despite all attempts of the GDS to remain affiliated with the NFPE
and inactain unity. Why did the leadership stoop? It was simply to please the
administration at the cost of the unity and fraternity. Now they would cry from
the house tops blaming us.
The NFPTE/NFPE
leadership then did not resort to engineering fragmentation and disruption.
What does the present leadership do? It adopts disruption and fragmentation to
establish its unchallenged leadership. Yes the ultimate sufferer is the organisation.
There are several instances. What happened to ‘P’ III union in Tamilnadu, Delhi
and U.P.? It is no secret how many court cases they have launched. If
membership is lost. No matter. The personal whim of the leadership should be
established. Now there is an evil design of wrecking the GDS union for which
all measures—hook or crook are adopted.
Our union is criticised by one henchman of the present leadership—self a acclaimed
leader. Everybody knows who is real force behind the fragmentation.
They would try to
serve many illusions before the GDS by hijacking our agenda-at times by
damaging the cause of the GDS employees as a whole. Have we forgotten who was
responsible for wrecking our struggle for merger of 50% D.A.? who suggested
tiny upgradation in the basic TRCA instead of merger of 50% D.A. Who wrecked
our struggle for inclusion of our issues before the 6th CPC? All
these are still fresh in the mind of the GDS.
The present
leadership has not waged a single independent struggle after 2000 even in face
of grave provocation. When the new pension scheme for departmental employees
was initiated, not a straw stringed. There was not even a small ripple. They
could not have guaranteed any minimum pension to post-2004 entrants. How
ridiculous (laughable) of the talk of some minimum pension. They would meekly.
How many posts have been abolished? Was there even a semblance of protest? No They
bend. Our demand ever has always been complete status of civil servant for the
GDS. They would fragment the demand into several tiny ones to frustrate our firm
and indelible demand of full status of civil servants for the GDS. We cannot
allow it to besabotaged and torpedoed by anybody, who-so-ever.
Our
demand is: BPMs equivalent to PAs, Delivery staff and GDS Mail
guards equivalent to Postmen and MC/Packers equivalent to MTS staff. They want
BPMs to be equivalent to Postmen. Can we allow it? They boast from hilltop to
be champions of staff including the GDS. A total sham.
As for us, we have
waged resistance, protest and struggles for our causes? Do we require
recounting such struggles waged by us. They would spit venom against us to hide
their failures and acts of disruption. If calling us names would have done any
good. It would be understandable. But call us names and cause disruption to
unity and organisation is not worthy of being forgiven. Speaking lies at the
top of once voice does it shield ones acts of disruption.
We want to march on
and we shall with unity. If you have expelled us, do not poke your nose
unnecessarily to damage the unity of GDS employees. We stand united and we
shall remain so. All evil attempts would fail.
