Progress
on strike demands particularly on Bonus and Medical scheme.
Rs.
3500/- Bonus has not been Rejected. Don’t believe false propaganda of Krishnan
& Co.
Unite all
GDS for the cause of our justified demands.
You are all aware that
Com. Krishnan & Co are continuously making false propaganda against AIPEDEU
through SMS and print Media when AIPEDEU launched struggles for the cause of
GDS justified demands. We all faced such type of ill motto and false propaganda
during historic indefinite strike in the month of October, 2012
We would like to bring
the realities and facts to our GDS fraternity. During our indefinite strike,
Department of posts positively recommended for enhancement of bonus ceiling Rs.
3500/- to GDS employees. Hon’ble Minister for Communications & IT Sri Kapil
Sibal also recommended positively by writing letter to Finance Minister. After
examining the issue Finance Minister sent back the file to the department for
seeking some clarifications.
Com. S.S. Mahadevaiah,
General Secretary and Com. B.V. Rao, Asst. General Secretary met Hon’ble
Secretary, Department of Posts Smt. Manjula Prasher, on 01.01.2013 at
Secretary’s Chamber. The leaders were informed that a committee of three
officers of Directorate headed by Sri Alok Saxena, DDG(Estt.) was constituted
to discuses and decide the issues raised by finance ministry. Hon’ble secretary
assured our leaders that the report of the committee will be submitted to the
Finance Ministry within one month. She also assured that she will try her level
best to grant Rs. 3500/- bonus to GDS officials as early as possible. Our
leaders expressed heartful thanks and New Year Greetings on behalf of GDS
fraternity to the Secretary Department of Posts.

MEDICAL SCHEME
Regarding Medical scheme

of this work, Medical Scheme will be implemented. Date Collection i.e.

Due to continuous efforts
of our CHQ, the department of posts is seeking information from all divisional
heads to review the Nataraja Murthy committee recommendation regarding one
point for Rs. 20000/- cash handling. All our divisional/branch secretaries are
requested to ask the divisional heads for sending in formation what directorate
required as early as possible.
Two days strike in February 2013
All Central Trade Unions,
Independent Federations and All India Unions have taken decision to go on two
days strike i.e. 20 and 21st February 2013 against anti workers
policies of the central Government. This is the first strike conducting two
days against the policies of the central Government after independence. We
appeal all our members to participate and conduct two days strike effectively.
Charter of demands and strike notice will be sent soon.
CHQ Quota
All the Divisional/Branch Secretaries are requested
to send quota/arrear quota to CHQ as early as possible. We have not received
quotas from the most of the circles for last one year. Circle Secretaries are
requested to motivate Divisional/Branch Secretaries to clear quota to CHQ.
Treat this an urgent. Otherwise it is difficult to maintain CHQ for day to day
activities and struggles.

Note on Bonus to submit your local Hon’ble Member of
Parliament
Grass injustice and discrimination
has been done to Gramin Dak Sevaks of postal department by denying Bonus
Ceiling of Rs. 3500/- at par with Departmental Staff. Grant bonus Ceiling Rs.
3500/- to GDS without any discrimination as this section is neglected,
discriminated and ill treated throughout right from British regime to till
date. It is not the Agency system in existence but the Sevaks are really sevaks
for the department of posts and the rural India. Unscientific assessment of
workload, compensation of Rs.500/- for the work of 3-5 hours daily, incentive
for insurance (not commission like LIC), detaining GDS at the office to assist
departmental staff etc., are a few examples how this section of the society is
exploited in the system. So, we feel grave injustice would be caused if the
benefit already given to GDS like Bonus ceiling is snatched. The 2.7 lakh GDS
employees are urging in one voice to end this blatant injustice without any
further delay. If there was not justification, the Bonus file would not have
been resubmitted by the communication ministry time and again. It is high time
we believe to settle the issue in favour of the GDS who are the key nerve of
the postal net work.
Kindly
look into the matter in the best interest of this toiling GDS and cause to
grant Bonus ceiling of Rs.3500/- at the earliest for which we are ever
grateful.
We
once again respectfully crave your indulgence for judicious settlement of the
issues.
With
profound regards,
