There is no other way except struggle
AIGDSU
is the symbol of struggle and sacrifice. AIGDSU never shirked of its
responsibility and organized struggle after struggle to realize our
goal.
2014 February 18-21 indefinite
strike for the settlement of pressing and major demands of GDS is
historical in the history of postal trade union movement. The most
respectable and useful agreement between the Department of posts and our
union is the outcome of the successful struggle.
Though
there is a positive response from the DOP&T and Department of posts
regarding inclusion of GDS wage structure and service conditions in the
purview of 7th CPC, the Ministry of Finance and the department of expenditure are not willing for inclusion.
The
Ministry of Finance suggested that the Department of posts to form a
separate committee to examine the GDS wage structure and service
conditions.
As per the agreement
signed on 21-2-2014 the Department of posts has to appoint a judicial
committee under the Chairmanship of retired Supreme Court or High Court
Judge.
The Department of posts is not taking any initiative steps till date to appoint a judicial committee.
A
delegation headed by our General Secretary Com. S.S. Mahadevaiah met
the Hon’ble Minister of Communication and IT Sri Ravi Sankar Prasad and
explained the situation and submitted a memorandum along with agreement
copy requesting him to honour the agreement signed by Member (P) and
Com. S.S. Mahadevaiah.
Our union demanded Member (P) and the Department of Posts to honour the agreement by appointing a judicial committee.
We are awaiting the reply from the honourable Minister of Communications and IT.
CHQ

settlement of justified demands of GDS keeping this in view CHQ issued
