CHQ expressed heartful
congratulations to all office bearers, Circle secretaries, Divisional/Branch
Secretaries, members of AIPEDEU and well wishers for making unprecedented
historic success if both the programmes of CHQ in Delhi on 12-12-2013
Parliament March and on 13-12-2013 GDS national convention by participating
more than ten thousand in number and special thanks to Com,Gurudas Gupta
M.P(Loksabha) and General Secretary AITUC, Com Shiv Gopal Mishra, Secretary
NJCM and General Secretary All India Railwaymen Federation, Com P.Suresh,
General Secretary, R-IV and Com K.K.Sharma, Vice President NFPE, for their
solidary and support to AIPEDEU struggles.
The Parliament March and
Convention are the milestones in the history of GDS. AIPEDEU conducted
uncompromised struggles for the cause of GDS justified demands and got success
over the some important demands such as equal bonus, RSBY gds Circle Welfare
fund and Pension. Still we have to get regularization, inclusion of GDS wage
structure and service conditions in the purview of 7th Central Pay
Commission etc.,
It is known fact that we are
creating revenue to the Department of Posts by implementing NREGA, SSP, PLI and
RPLI and various schemes introduced by the Department while bearing the
unbearable burden denial of our basic and justified rights.
It is right and appropriate time to grant civil servant
status to GDS EMPLOYEES AS THE Department of Posts completely depend on the GDS
system for revenue at present and in future. The Department of Post is
seriously taking steps to fill up all the GDS Vacant Posts not only Branch Post
Masters but also GDSMD and GDSMC Posts by the end of February 2014. As per the
information from reliable sources, Branch Offices should be computerized at the
end of December 2014 to perform its business on line.
Keeping in view all the points we demand the Department of
Posts and the Government of India to grant civil servant status to GDS.
It is not an easy task the
Department of Posts and the Government of India are not going to accept our
demand. We can achieve this only by struggles. Each and every GDS are struggling
day to day for survival. Struggles are not new to AIPEDEU stands as symbol of
struggles since its birth. Some of the distinctive forces tried to dilute our
struggles and failed. We do beg that nobody can separate GDS from AIPEDEU. All
the GDS should come under the umbrella of AIPEDEU in the days to come to launch
serious trade union action. We do believe that there is no other way except to
fight to achieve our justified demands. Let us welcome New Year 2014 with
struggles by making relay hunger fast programme at Circle office from 20-1-2014
to 24-01-2014 thundering success.
