HISTORIC STRIKE ENTERS 15TH DAY
THREE LAKHS GRAMIN DAK SEVAKS DID IT
Government and Postal Board is totally
indifferent. Suicides and death of GDS while on strike are reported everyday.
Situation becoming out of control.Nearly 7000 GDS including 1000 ladies mobilized in front of Chief PMG Office, Hyderabad and they refused to disburse till the strike is settled.. Only due to the timely
intervention of Ministers, MPs, MLAs and TU Leaders of Telangana the situation came under
control after five hours. All the Branch Postoffices remain closed for fifteen days
and they have now become Branch “Ghost” Offices. The anger and protest of
striking GDs is growing day by day. If the situation goes out of control and
any untoward incidents happens, the Govt and Postal Board alone will be
responsible. The calculation of the Officers that believing their sugar-coated
appeals, GDS will resume duty on 4th June (Monday) had gone wrong.
The attempt to reach Circle level
settlements to break the unity and weaken the position of All India Leadership
of the striking GDS,while All India unions are on strike has also miserably
failed. 99% of the Circle Unions refused to reach Circle level agreements and
categorically told the Chief PMsG to discuss with their All India leadership
and reach settlement at Delhi level. Percentage of the strike increased further
in all states and it has reached its peak on 4th June (Monday),
almost 100% in all states.
Confederation National Secretariat calls
upon all its affiliates and C-o-Cs to extend full support and solidarity to the
striking GDS. Don’t hesitate. Grab the seriousness of the situation and jump
into action. Take initiative to form strike aid Committees at all places.
Extend financial assistance to the needy GDS who are on strike. Organize
various types of protest and solidarity action daily
under the banner of strike –aid committee or confederation. Approach MPs, MLAs,
Ministers, distinguished personalities and organizations and request them to
intervene.
All GDS Unions including pro-BJP BMS
Union has unanimously decided to continue the strike till settlement of their
demands. Strike may prolong further due to the negative attitude of Government.
GDS unions are ready to continue their struggle. There is no wavering or
confusion anywhere. The strategy of the department to make them starve and then
surrender has also failed.
Remember, after 1946 P & T strike
which lasted for 26 days and after 1974 Railway strike which lasted for 25
days, this heroic struggle has taken place and three lakhs most down trodden
GDS has did it. We should understand the significance of this strike and come
forward to extend all out support. Once the bus is missed, you cannot catch it
again.
