Comrades, this is the high time to go for series of
struggles to achieve our genuine and
long pending demands.
The recommendations of the Committee constituted (Sri Gopinath
committee) to modify the negative recommendations of One man committee i.e.,
Nataraja murthy committee is positive to GDS…........
The recommendations of the Committee constituted (Sri
V.P.Singh Committee) for modifying the
work load norms for GDS / BPMs is positive….........
The recommendations of the Committee constituted ( Sri Alok
Saxena Committee) for evaluation of Bonus ceiling for GDS is positive…......
But the Govt. & department denying to implement the
recommendations made by those committees for which they have constituted
purposefully.
The GDS becomes the symbol of exploitation since the British
regime and in the independent India too. We are further being exploited by the
bureaucrats. Our genuine demands are being rejected and neglected in one
pretext or the other.
Let us take a firm decision for a continuous struggle till
we are declared as Govt. employees by departmentalization.
Let us carry forward our struggles and make all the programs
successful.
