India Office Bearers….
Dear Comrades,
BOTH DEPARTMENTAL AND GDS EMPLOYEES ARE BEING
CHEATED ONCE AGAIN BY POSTAL JCA (NFPE-FNPO) AS USUAL.
THIS IS THE FIFTH TIME POSTAL JCA WITHDREW THE STRIKE WITHOUT SINGLE ACHIEVEMENT
POSTAL JCA ACCEPTED OFFICERS COMMITTEE
BY ARGUING THAT THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JUDICIAL COMMITTEE AND OFFICERS
COMMITTEE. THEY MORTGAGED 2.62 LAKHS GDS EMPLOYEES FUTURE TO THE
ADMINISTRATION.
POSTAL JCA PLAYED CHEAP TRICKS BY REQUESTING THE
DEPARTMENT TO REFER GDS ISSUE THIRD TIME TO DEPARTMENT OF EXPENDITURE TO
PREVENT APPOINTMENT OF JUDICIAL COMMITTEE.
Dear Comrades,
History repeats. Postal
JCA deferred the proposed indefinite strike of 6th May, 2015 without
any achievement by cheating both the departmental and GDS employees once again.
The announcement of
indefinite strike of 6th May was made before Six Months. Postal JCA leaders
created illusion among the postal employees that all the Central Government
unions i.e. Railway, Defence, income tax etc are going to participate in the
indefinite strike for the cause of GDS employees i.e. inclusion of GDS in the
terms of reference of 7th Central Pay Commission.
It is known fact that the
Department of Expenditure denied the GDS inclusion in the month of November,
2014. While postal JCA kept quiet on this issue AIGDSU conducted series of
heroic struggles including indefinite strikes in Feb, 2014 and March, 2015.
Postal JCA tried to dilute and divert AIGDSU agitations supporting the administration.
Once again in the month
of April, 2015 Department of expenditure denied the GDS inclusion in 7th
CPC. Then also no action has been taken by PJCA.
The Dept. of posts
convened meeting with postal JCA leaders to discuss the Charter of demands on
05.02.2015. After the meeting, the postal JCA leaders expressed strong
dissatisfaction about the replies given by the Department and decided to go on
indefinite strike. After the strike notice issued by postal JCA, Again the
Dept. convened the meeting with postal JCA leaders on 30.04.2015 and same
replies were given without changing comma, full stop. There is no development
and no changing in the attitude of the Department towards the Charter of
demands. Surprisingly the postal JCA deferred the indefinite strike. What a
pity!
In the case of AIGDSU,
there is a total difference in the replies given by the department on
19.02.2015 before the strike and on 24.03.2015 after the strike. After
the indefinite strike of
AIGDSU positive replies were given. That is the achievement of AIGDSU
indefinite strike. Our struggle is beginning to move towards the
regularization. All the postal fraternity are requested to analyze the
difference between the struggles of AIGDSU and others.
Most important demands
i.e. grant merger of 100% D.A with Pay w.e.f. 01.01.2014, grant of 25% Pay as
interim Relief (IR) w.e.f. 01.01.2014 were totally rejected. But PJCA ranaway from
the battle field before beginning the battle surrendering the postal trade
union movement at the feet of administration.
We came to know that PJCA
agreed to act as per the aspirations of Dept. to prevent appointment of
Judicial Committee as demanded by AIGDSU. Because of that hidden agenda PJCA
requested the Department to refer the GDS issue to Department of expenditure
third time.
It is also known fact
that the PJCA repeatedly propagated about the participation of Railway, Defence
etc unions in 6th May strike to cheat the postal employees
particularly GDS employees. AIGDSU obviously told this from the beginning. It
proved now.
We would like to remind
all the postal fraternity particularly GDS employees Nobody except AIGDSU has
guts to fight for the cause of GDS employees.
Hence CHQ appeals all GDS
that the doors of AIGDSU are always kept open for all GDS to build broder unity
among GDS to fight effectively and efficiently to achieve the regularization
demand by indefinite strikes in future. Join in AIGDSU with confidence and
hope.
SEND CD
TO CHQ
All Divisional/Branch
Secretaries are requested to send the actual work load of all categories of GDS
for one post in division by making CD for defending to Justify regularization demand. Prepare CD’s regarding
the work of GDS and send to CHQ.
RE-

Membership has been started for departmental employees. It is learnt that some
new unions have applied for participation.
