YEAR 2014 WITH STRUGGLES
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.

Secretary Com. Nithin.K.D., Circle
Treasurer Com. Smt. Bena Andrews.
NFPE LEADERSHIP AGAIN
STARTED CHEAP TRICKS TO CHEAT THE POOR AND INNOCENT-GDS COMRADES BY DILUTING
THE STRUGGLES. THE SO CALLED LEADERSHIP INTENTIONALLY DILUTE THE UNCOMPROMISED
STRUGGLES OF AIPEDEU.
AIPEDEU is launching serious struggle for regularization
and inclusion of GDS wage structure and service conditions in the purview of 7th
Central Pay Commission. March to Parliament on 12.12.2013 and GDS National
Convention on 13.12.2013 are the part of the struggle.
NFPE and AIPEU-GDS(NFPE) filled a case in Apex court
praying for implementation of 1977 Supreme Court Judgment. Generally so many
doubts and questions are raising among the GDS regarding this. Why the
federation kept quiet all the 37 years? Why not the federations filled the case
after implementation of GDS Committees? Why the federation and so called GDS
Union filled the case after announcement of 7th CPC? Answer is
simple. To Support the Government. To dilute the demands. To dilute the struggles
of AIPEDEU. How? When AIPEDEU starts struggles for regularization, there will
be scope to the Department to dilute the movement by using the deeds of federation leadership.
Comrades, think who are doing favours to government and
who are fighting in favour of GDS employees? Any how AIPEDEU never step back
for struggles. We do believe that there is no other way except struggle for
settlement of demands.
Most of the Divisional Secretaries
do not contribute donation till date please clear CHQ Quota and Bonus
donations immediately.

Yours fraternally,
(S.S. Mahadevaiah)

indifference and inaction by the Govt. of India towards pressing demands or
Gramin Dak Sevaks presented before the Department of posts by All India Postal
Extra Departmental Employees Union. The convention once again congratulates the
leaders, members and well wishers of AIPEDEU for the unprecedented historic
success of the seven days indefinite strike on 16-22 October 2013. The strikes
and struggles during last year have strengthened and widened the unity of the
GDS fraternity.
In the wake
of the resounding success of the seven day indefinite strike the Govt. of India
granted Rs. 3500/- bonus to GDS employees at par with departmental employees.
Rastriya Swastya Bhema Yojana(RSBY) scheme is going to implement within short
period.
The National convention of Gramin Dak Sevaks expresses anguish over the
indifference of the Govt. towards the long pending burning issues concerning
Departmentalization of BOs, Civil servant status to Gramin Dak Sevaks,

and regularization of casual, Part time,
contingent employees and Revision of their wages with effect from 01.01.2006
and grant of D.A.
It is known
fact that the GDS created revenue to the Department of posts by implementing
NREGA, SSP, PLI, RPLI and various schemes introduced by the Department while
bearing the unbearable burden of all round exploitation through denial of their
basic and justified rights. If all type of work done by GDS has to be taken
into workload, the BOs will be departmentalized with more than 8 hours work.
The
convention calls upon the GDS fraternity to raise their voice unitedly against
indifference and injustice and prepare for intensifying the countrywide
struggle in the days to come.
The
convention decided to hold five days relay hunger fast in the circle head
quarters on 20-24 January, 2014.
If our
demands are not settled after this programme, serious trade union action will
be launched in appropriate time. The convention appeals to the entire GDS of
the department of posts to take part in the programme with strong determination
and thundering the message to the Govt.
