GENERAL STRIKE
Dear Comrades,
Preparations for the successful
implementation of the Two Days strike on 2013 February 20 & 21 are going on
full swing all over the country. India
Confederation of Central Govt. Employees & workers have already endorsed
the decision of the Central Trade Unions and Federations, Strike notice was
served by confederation to Cabinet Secretary and the affiliated unions to the
concerned Head of Departments on 22.01.2013. In addition to the common charter
of demands raised by the Central Trade Unions, Confederation has included its
15 points charter of demands also in the strike notice. As far as Central
Govt. Employees are concerned, the February 20, 21 strike is a continuation of
the 12th December 2012
strike. The demand for appointment of 7th CPC and merger of 50% DA is still
pending. We have to continue our struggle till these demands are accepted by
the Government. Confederation National leaders campaign programme is going on
in all states.
In
Postal, both National Federation of Postal Employees (NFPE) and Federation of
National Postal Organizations (FNPO) are participating in the Nationwide strike
under the banner of Joint Council of action. In addition to the common
charter of demands, JCA has raised the Postal oriented demands also, including
wage revision, DA merger, abolition of Posts, National Postal Policy, GDS
demands, Casual Labour issues, cadre restructuring, revision of OTA rates &
compassionate appointments.
The Joint strike notice has been served to the
Secretary, Department of Posts on 22.01.2013. Copy of the strike notice and
charter of demands are already published in websites and also in the journals
of all unions and Federations. As part of the campaign programme, All
India leaders of NFPE & FNPO will be jointly addressing the campaign
programmes in all Circles.
Comrades, when the entire workers of our country are
unitedly fighting a historic battle against the retrograde policies of the
Government, the entire postal & RMS employees including Gramin Dak Sevaks
shall join this mass upsurge and make the 48 hours strike cent per cent. Move
to grant license to couriers, abolition of posts, denial of the legitimate
demands of the Gramin Dak Sevaks etc. are all due to the neo-liberal policies
of the Central Government and in order to change the policy, the united
struggle of the working class is the only alternative. NFPE calls upon
the entirety of Postal & RMS Employees including Gramin Dak Sevaks to join
the strike en-mass and make it a grand success.
