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 6^th 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.
