ALLOW NOT SITUATION GOES OUT OF CONTROL……, ARE WE FORCED TO TURN
VIOLENT……………?
Kudos to the GARMENT
WORKERS for their HISTORIC SUCCESSFUL STRUGGLE culminated with instant protest,
indomitable courage and in making the Central Government to roll back Provident
Fund withdrawal norms. It was a spontaneous
action, within a few minutes message of uniform action reached all who were in
streets. There was a traffic jam for 5-6
hours in the busy roads of Bengaluru.
Protest turned into violence when the police could not control the
mob.
The struggle reminded me
of BONUS struggle in 1996 which was also without notice and preparation.
Enmass jumping into
action, putting heart and soul into the movement is the only STRUGLLE IN TRUE
SPIRIT! Such struggle in postal from
GRAMIN DAK SEVAK is not too far …………….?
TOTAL STRIKE against the
system is the only solution, history of struggles remind us very often of this
reality. This is the reason why we could
not resort to Trade union action when JUSTICE COMMITTEE was denied to us, we had written to all the
three federations to join hands with us but in vain. We are determined to FIGHT TO THE LAST and
inorder to get fair deal from the present bureaucracy we need to further
strengthen our nerves. The slogan of DO
OR DIE shall be forced on those who are the stumbling block in our way to GOAL.
Should we learn/follow the ART OF PROTEST from the unorganised workers like
Garment workers of Bengaluru?
While working strategy
for future struggles we need to consciously look into the WEAK LINK in our
movement. The inner threat is causing
more concern than outer (dept/govt).
Even now it is not too late to work for united movement of GDS and it is
time to forget and forgive. In open mind
and in the interest of GRAMIN DAK SEVAKS,
the subject of humility,
neglect and exploitation, we call upon each and everyone to work for UNITY,
UNITY AND UNITY ALONE. For at the end of
the tunnel is LIGHT and at the end the struggle is VICTORY.
We talk less on
verification of membership which is expected soon. WE CAN READ THE MIND OF THE COMMON WORKER/GDS
WHO IS THE MAIN NERVE OF THE GDS MOVEMENT UNDER A.I.G.D.SU. Having conducted series of struggles we are
looking forward for another struggle perhaps the ULTIMATE STRUGGLE which is
possible if any only if each and every GDS respond truly to the call of the
AIGDSU, THUS WE ANTICIPATE WHOLE HEARTED MEMBERSHIP AND VOLUNTORY RETURN TO THE
MOTHER ORGANISATION AIGDSU. Do not fall
prey to the false assurances and RUMOURS during verification of membership. AIGDSU is the organisation of GDS, for the
GDS and by the GDS.
LONG LIVE WORKERS’UNITY, AIGDSU ZINDABAD
STRUGGLE AHEAD MARCH ON.
