Dear Comrades,
You are well aware of the fact
that Civil status and all benefits at par with regular departmental employees to the Gramin Dak Sevaks can be achieved except
Departmentalization of BOs & Regularization of GDS.
For the last few decades, we had the experience
of 5 Pay committees, except Justice Talwar Committee, all other, with the influence of officialdom negated the legitimate benefits of GDS, except
few, with the series of struggles
conducted so for.
Again and again the Department is trying to suppress and
diluting the status of GDS in the Department with the stringent modifications in
non-statutory rules from Conduct &Service
Rules to Engagement Rules. The recent One Man Committee is a replica of the attitude
of bureaucrats.
It should not be continued
further and all with one determination ie., Departmentalization &
Regularization, moving ahead with united struggles for the cause of GDS.
You might have known that the GDS
demand has been given such an importance in the JCA formed with Railway &
Defense Unions with Confederation for further struggles among the demands
of all Central Govt Employees.
The NFPE along with AIPEU GDS (NFPE) is on the
move to include GDS issues in the purview of 7th Central Pay
Commission. Besides, NFPE & Confederation of Central
Govt Employees and Workers conducted many joint struggles with GDS demands
including the recent strike on 12-12-2012.
A phase of action came before us,
which needs an elaborate discussion on the struggles and strikes on various
issues affecting the basic rights of the employee’s sections and working class.
Except industrial action, the Govt is allowing for conciliation of the demands
and bargaining.
Now, the choice has to be taken
by all GDS to prepare for an industrial action along with the entirety of
Central Govt Employees by taking appropriate decision on strike ballot
forwarded by the Confederation.
Your decision is in favour of
strike – tick “YES”
Hopefully we can not expect “NO” from any GDS.......!!!
Yours fraternally,
P.Pandurangarao
General Secretary
