NEGOTIATIONS
FAILED
GDS INDEFINITE ALL INDIA STRIKE
WILL CONTINUE
TILL GDS COMMITTEE IS IMPLEMENTED
An emergent meeting of the General Secretaries of
AIGDSU, AIPEU-GDS & NUGDS held at
FNPO Headquarters, New Delhi on 24-05-2018 viewed with grave concern on the
totally negative and indifferent attitude of the Central Government &
Postal Board against the genuine demands of about three lakh Gramin Dak Sevaks
of the Postal Department.
All the negotiations held till date have failed due to
the adamant and unhelpful attitude of the Govt and Postal Board. The meeting unanimously
decided to continue the indefinite strike till the GDS Committee is
implemented.
Kamalesh Chandra Committee has submitted its recommendations
to the Govt on 24-11-2016; within one year from the date of its appointment by
Govt,. Even after a lapse of 18 months, the positive recommendations of the
Committee is not implemented by the Government.
After several agitations conducted by the GDS unions,
the Postal Board has processed the recommendations regarding wages and
submitted to the Cabinet for approval. Whether the positive recommendations
regarding wage structure is processed, whether higher wages will be implemented
from 01-01-2016 etc, are not yet known. Other than wages, all other positive
recommendations viz., Children Education Allowance, Leave, other Allowances are
kept pending and it may take some more time to process and submitted for
approval of the Competent Authority. The
revision of Wages of other Central Govt Employees was already implemented by Government from
01-01-2016. Glaring discrimination is shown towards Gramin Dak Sevaks.
Instead of accepting our minimum demand, the Postal
Board Officers including Secretary, Department of Posts and Additional Director
General of Posts went on appealing to the unions to withdraw or defer the
strike, which we can not accept.
The joint meeting of all the striking GDS Unions
unanimously resolve to continue the nationwide indefinite strike of Gramin Dak
Sevaks till the implementation of the GDS Committee. This meeting calls upon
the entirety of Gramin Dak Sevaks to further strengthen the unity at base level
and make the strike a resounding success.
Once again request that all GDS working in every nook and corner
of the country
to remain united and determined and continue
the strike till success.
The Central GDS JCA unanimously decided the following programme of
action to create pressure on the Department & Govt for the earliest
implementation of the GDS Committee.
