The AIPEU-GDS (NFPE) as well as AIGDSU & NUGDS (FNPO) are launching indefinite strike from tomorrow (22nd May). AIPEU P4 NFPE in support of GDS strike commencing indefinite strike from day after tomorrow (23rd).
DG Posts held talks with the above four unions today but except requesting for 'Don't go on strike' nothing concrete assurance could be given by him. He simply says that within one or two months Kamalesh Chandra Committee will be implemented. This shown utter lack of seriousness on the part of Postal Board and Central Govt. towards burning issue of GDS for months.
The unions have resolved to go ahead with the indefinite strike as planned. There may be punitive action ! AIPRPA CHQ calls upon our rank & file organizations and comrades to extend all possible kinds of solidarity to GDS masses.
Organize protests, assemble before HPOs / Divisional Offices etc., with AIPRPA banners and demonstrate in support of GDS.
As per local conditions, our Comrades can take any solidarity action. It is our duty and responsibility to raise in defense of GDS downtrodden masses.
Jump in solidarity and report to CHQ
