AIGDSU DHARNA REMAINS MILE STONE AND LANDMARK IN
GDS TRADE UNION MOVEMENT.
NEVER BEFORE IN THE HISTORY OF POSTAL TRADE UNION
MOVEMENT SUCH A LARGE NUMBER OF ARRESTS WERE MADE.
Dear Comrades,
CHQ congratulates office bearers, circle secretaries,
Divisional, Branch Secretaries and well wishers of GDS for making unprecedented
and thundering success of 19.12.2014 Dharna.
You will be pleased to know that nearly three thousand
Gramin Dak Sevaks from different parts of the country assembled in Dak Bhavan
early morning at 8:00 A.M. on 19.12.2014 to stage dharna to protest against
Department of Posts unwillingness to implement the written agreement between
Department of Posts and All India Gramin Dak Sevaks Union dated 21.2.2014 to
the effect that a Pay Committee headed by a judge of Supreme Court/High Court
will be appointed to determine the pay structure & service conditions of
the Gramin Dak Sevaks. This has not been implemented till date. We were
therefore compelled to launch Massive Dharna. The Government instead of
allowing GDS to stage a peaceful dharna, arrested them and detained them till
late evening.
Three thousand GDS
employees continued Dharna while in custody with slogans up to 5:00 P.M. in the
police station. AIGDSU congratulates thousands of Gramin Dak Sevaks who
willingly courted arrest for their sacrifice and heroic act. This act glorified
AIGDSU as the real fighter for the cause of Gramin Dak Sevaks. Com. S.S.
Mahadevaiah, General Secretary and Com. Rajangam, President met senior officers
of the Prime Minister office and submitted the memorandum. Com. S.S. Mahadevaiah explained the
happenings in detail. Com. S.S. Mahadevaiah, General Secretary and Com. B.V.
Rao, Asst. General Secretary negotiated with SP in the evening. All the three
thousand GDS employees released unconditionally late in the evening.
We have fought a glorious
struggle. We shall continue our struggle till our demands are met. AIGDSU
acknowledges with gratitude the support & solidarity we got from AITUC and
the Hon’ble Member of Parliament Sri. Dilipji Gandhi.
