               As per Government of India orders on Downsizing of Central Government Services, Screening Committee for filling up/aboliotion of posts was constituted in the year 2001 and Annual Direct Recruitment (ADR) plan was approved by the Screening committee for each year from 2001 to 2008.  Screening Committee cleared only 1/3rd vacancies for direct recruitment and balance 2/3rd posts were abolished as per its recommendations.

               Accordingly Department of Posts abolished 2/3rd vacant posts from 2001 to 2004.  Regarding the abolition of 2/3 rd vacant posts from 2005 to 2008, Postal Department & Communication Ministry requested Finance Ministry to grant exemption to Department of Posts from abolishing the vacant posts from 2005 to 2008, as it is an operative Department dealing with the general public and customers.  2/3rd posts earmarked for abolition from 2005 to 2008 are kept vacant (but not abolished) pending decision of the Finance Ministry.

               The ban on recruitment was lifted and the Screening Committee was abolished in the year 2009.  Government of India issued orders to fill up all vacant posts for the year from 2009 onwards.  Accordingly, Department of Posts, issued orders to fill up all vacancies for the year 2009 and 2010.  Orders are also issued to fill up all vacant posts for the year 2011 and 2012.  But, at the same time, Directorate issued clear instructions to all Chief PMGs that posts kept vacant for the year from 2005 to 2008 should not be filled up under any circumstances but should be kept vacant. (for abolition).

        

  Finance Ministry has now made it clear that no permission or exemption will be granted to any department including Department of Posts to fill up the posts kept earmarked for abolition as per the Screening Committee recommendations.  Accordingly Department of Posts has now issued orders to abolish all the 2/3rd vacant posts (Total 17093 posts for four years) for the year 2005 to 2008. Cadrewise break-up figure of the posts to be abolished is furnished below:

AIPEU-GDS(NFPE) - GUJRAT CIRCLE UNION FORMED

Gujrat Circle Convention has been held on 16-12-2012 at Jamnagar. The GDS comrades attended from almost all Divsions of the Circle to the convention. 

Com.K.V.Sridharan, Leader, JCM Staffside & former General Secretary, AIPEU Gr.C., Com.R.N.Parashar, Asst. Secretary General, NFPE, Com.I.S.Dabas, General Secretary, AIPEU PM&Gr.D/MTS, Com.Balwinder Singh, Financial Secretary, Gr.C (CHQ) were attended and graced the Convention in a very delightful manner.

COM. ASHA BEN JOSHI JOINS AIPEU – GDS (NFPE)

Com. Asha Ben Joshi, Former All India Vice President & Circle Secretary of AIPEDEU Gujarat Circle has joined AIPEU-GDS (NFPE) along with the entire GDS membership. 

 

She is elected as the new Circle Secretary of AIPEU-GDS (NFPE) Gujarat Circle in the Circle Conference held at Jamnagar on 16.12.2012.

During the last eight months, since the formation of the new GDS Union 70 to 100% of the GDS membership and leadership in majority of the Circles have already joined the AIPEU-GDS (NFPE). 

 

They have participated in the 12^th December Strike.

In the next membership verification AIPEU-GDs (NFPE) will definitely become the only recognized union of GDS. 

 

GDS employees have lost faith in the existing recognized union as it has lost credibility by repeatedly misguiding the employees. 

 

Anti-NFPE slogan is no longer going to work.

Com. Smt. Ashaben Jyothi unanimously elected as Circle Secretary of AIPEU-GDS(NFPE) and assured to form all Divisional / Branch Unions in the Circle at the earliest. 13 divisions are formed there itself in the Convention.

The CHQ conveys its heartfelt greetings and congratulations to all the Circle Office bearers and  sincerely thanking all GDS Comrades and NFPE unions for their big share to GDS NFPE in Gujrat Circle.

Regarding BONUS to GDS --------------

Regarding GDS Bonus ==

the propaganda made by Mahadevaiah group GDS union is TOTALLY FALSE. 

Finance Ministry HAS NOT APPROVED the proposal for raising the GDS Bonus ceiling to Rs.3500- but rejected it.

Mahadevaiah flashed the false news on 10^th December deliberately to sabotage the 12.12.12 united strike.

During his last strike also he has made such false propaganda saying strike is 100%. 

Mahadevaiah’s GDS union has not served strike notice for 12^th December strike  

and 

given letter to the administration to take action against those who participated in the 12^th December strike.

The following copy of letter submitted by Circle Secretary, AIPEDEU, Assom to the Chief Post Master General, mentioned as :

........... it is hardly requested to release a notice of "No work, no pay" to all postal employees and alert notice of termination to the employees, who have not been completed three years of their regular service positively before the strike on 12-12-2012. your positive action in this concern will surely remove all confusions about the limitations as a govt. employee..........
