Circular No.01 Date :25-09-2015
Dear Comrades,
Festival & Seasonal Greetings and
congratulations to all of you
Our 2nd All India
Conference was concluded
with the constructive resolutions leading towards the emancipation of our
cadre. It has given more inspiration and stimulation and also created a great confidence
about the future of the GDS among the membership as well as the leadership of
our NFPE and GDS (NFPE). The discussions and deliberations made by our GDS
delegates are so much appreciated and valued and also directed the higher
bodies to ensure to continue our struggle till the reach our goal
‘departmentalization of BOs & regularization of GDS’ organizationally and
legally.
NFPE and our CHQ is abiding
the directions of all the delegate comrades and representatives of all
divisions of all the Circles and commenced our struggle programme immediately
after the conclusion of our AIC by conducting a mass dhana at Jantharmanthar in
New Delhi on 22-09-2015 demanding the settlement of our GDS demands organized
by Postal JCA with the participation of both Secretary Generals of NFPE &
FNPO and respective General Secretaries of all affiliated unions of both
Federations along with 200 more participants. Even though the department urged
and attempted by all means to cancel the dharna, PJCA decided to hold it and
focused our resentment over the neglect of the Dept and Govt in resolving the
issues of GDS and departmental employees.
The Govt, as expected,
rejected the inclusion of GDS in 7th CPC even after repeated
attempts made by the Dept of Posts. The long pending demand of ‘cadre
restructuring’ for departmental employees is kept doldrums. All other justified
demands are being dragged in such a way to come out from the purview and the recommendations
of 7th CPC. Even though the Central Pay Commission is ready to submit its
report by 30th September, the Govthas extended the date of
submission of 7th CPC up to 31st December 2015. There is
an ample time of 3 more months for the 7th CPC panel to consider the
demand of GDS by modifying the Terms of Reference.
Further the Postal JCA decided
to go for strike from 23rd November 2015 for ‘inclusion of GDS in 7th
CPC’ as the prime demand. Though there is a call of NC JCM (Railway, Defense
& Confederation of CGE) for indefinite strike from 23rd
Novembers, irrespective of any decisions, Postal JCA is decided to go for indefinite
strike from 23rd November 2015 itself.
The foremost task of our GDS Representatives
is to enlighten and educate the members by conducting meetings, giving much publicity
about the demands of PJCA by circulars and pamphlets, hand billsfor circulation
among the GDS members. Time left for our struggle is just few weeks. Unless we act
swiftly, we cannot make the strike a grand success. I hope that every
representative of our union from branch level to Circle level will take all out
efforts to implement the decisions of CHQ and give much priority to implement
the directions of our All India
Conference.
Comrades, our GDS cadre is
already under pressure and is being exploited by various decisions taken by the
department and the Govt viz., introduction of various BD activities with and
without incentives, Direct Benefit Transfer Schemes without observing the basic
conditions of the BOs and time factor and the work load, Reduction of
allowances, combination of duties, no medical facilities, inadequate supply of
amenities to BOs, imposing impracticable targets on various items of work etc.
We are ready to serve for the
Department, for the people and the nation but it requires that we should be
provided with adequate means of livelihood with the civil status in the
department and society. We are being deprived of many facilities in the
background of policy offensives and need to overcome all the hurdles created by
various factors. This time our struggle is sacrifice oriented. Let us do or
die. Let us prepare for that and to prove our ability, strength and militancy
through our united struggles with NFPE and PJCA.
