ONE MORE INDEFINITE STRIKE FOR SETTLEMENT OF

THE JUSTIFIED DEMANDS OF GDS

PUT ALL EFFORTS TO MAKE INDEFINITE STRIKE A THUNDERING SUCCESS

STRIKE NOTICE SERVED ON 29-01-2014 BY AIPEDEU

Dear Comrades,

CHQ Congratulates all CHQ offices bearers, circle Secretaries, our members and well wishers of AIPEDEU for making HUNGER FAST an unprecedented success in all 22 circles from 20-1-2014 to 24-01-2014 At chief Post Master General office, Hyderabad General Secretary Com. S.S.Mahadevaiah attended the relay hunger fast on 24-01-2014. Approximately 700 GDS Comrades had taken part/participated in relay hunger fast at Hyderabad. As we did not get any positive response from the department of posts during the programme of five days. The CHQ of AIPEDEU has consulted and consolidated the opinions of rank and file who have participated in hunger fast each day all our comrades advised and urged the CHQ to launch serious trade union action like indefinite strike against the adamant attitude of the department of posts and the union government.

CHQ also feels that any programme at this juncture for a TOKEN STRIKE of one or two days may not be ideal and it is the duty of CHQ to honor the opinions and suggestions of the rank and file as well as divisional and branch secretaries Com. S.S.Mahadevaiah General secretary AIPEDEU served Indefinite/Till settlement STRIKE notice from 18-02-2014 on 29.01.14 to the Department of posts. The CHQ requests all office bearers, Circle Secretaries, divisional and Branch secretaries and well wishes to put all efforts to make indefinite strike a thundering success.

CHQ also decided to hold “candle rally” at all divisional head quarters on 17-02-2014 between 6:00 and 7:00 P.M.

Indefinite strike notice and charter of demands are sent with this circular.

AIPEDEU Nomenclature changed as AIPEDEU

The Dept. of Posts issued orders vide letter No. 13-38/2000-SR dated 25^th January, 2014 to change the Nomenclature of one union as All India Gramin Dak Sevak Union (AIGDSU).

All CHQ office bearers Circle Secretaries/Branch Secretaries are requested to notice this change. All the correspondent with the Dept. may be used under the new name AIGDSU. Letter heads and banners and all also prepare under AIGDSU.

CHQ Extends solidarity to the taken strike issued by confederation on 12-02-2014 and 13-02-2014.

It is the policy to AIPEDEU to support any struggles of workers in general and the GDS in particular. Even though Federations and Confederation had not extended any solidarity to the struggles AIPEDEU in connection with indefinite strike in 2012 and Relay hunger fast from 21-01-2014 to 24-01-2014, AIPEDEU extends solidarity to the two days Token strike issued by confederation from 12-02-2014 and 13-02-2014 with true trade union spirit.

Make Indefinite Strike from 18-02-2014 a Thundering Success

participate in the indefinite strike massively and make indefinite strike a thundering success.

With struggle greetings,

Yours fraternally,

DEAR COMRADES,

As desired by most of the GDS staff many Circle Unions of AIPEDEU has filed a cases like H.P. Punjab, Haryana, Uttarakhand, A.P. and Karnataka ect,. Karnataka in Bangalore Hon’ble CAT and GOT STAY ORDERS on DIRECT RECRUITMENT OF POSTMEN FROM OPEN MARKET.

Since the attacks on GDS employees’ is increasing day by day such action was in fact forced upon the UNION AND A FEW GDS STAFF AGITATING OVER THE INJUSTICE AND ARBITRARY ACTION.

ANY ILLEGAL CONTRACT IS VOID! Department’s plea that JCM leaders agreed for such change of Recruitment rule does not hold water as it is against the interest of 2.8 lakh GDS who have been exploited all along, over decades in this democratic country.

THE C.A.T has directed the Secretary, Department of Post to review the matter within 2 months and till such time the process will be in suspended animation.
