Dear friends
/ comrades,
Union
Cabinet today approved the Kamalesh Chandra Committee Report. Full details given
in the PIB Bulletin is enclosed.
An emergency
meeting of all three striking GDS unions (AIGDSU, AIPEU-GDS & FNPO) held
today at aigdsu office and after
reviewing the entire situation, unanimously decided to call off the 16 days
historic indefinite strike of 2.76 lakhs Gramin Dak Sevaks.
The three
GDS Unions further decided that, if any adverse conditions are there in the
Govt orders, if major positive recommendations are diluted, GDS unions shall
resort to nationwide agitational programmes again.
We
congratulate the entire GDS who stood unitedly like a rock and defeated all the
anti-strike propaganda of the Postal Board and their Agents. We salute the GDS
for their courage, bravery and determination. This strike is a history and it
will be written in golden letters in the history of Postal Trade Union movement
and Indian working class movement. Not only all Central Trade Unions but the
World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) also extended full support and
solidarity to this strike for emancipation of most down trodden section called
GDS.
This strike
is significant because, it fought against the adamant attitude of the Govt and
Postal Board, rejecting their sweet-coated appeals and also threat of “withdraw
the strike, then only we will talk” and finally ended in thumping victory and
came out with flying colours. All credit goes to the three lakhs GDS who fought
heroically and unitedly, even though they are scattered in 1,29,500 rural
Branch post offices. This is the great victory of the poor, oppressed,
downtrodden and marginalized section of the society who have nothing to loose
but chains.
We convey
our deep condolences to the families of brave GDS whose shocking sudden deaths
and suicide while on strike has shaked the conscience of right thinking
persons.
We convey
our sincere thanks and gratitude to all Central Trade Unions, WFTU, Political
parties, Chief Ministers, people’s representatives in Parliament and State
Assemblies, distinguished personalities and all fraternal organizations and
their leaders who stood with GDS in the hours of crisis and extended full
support and solidarity to the striking GDS till the end of the strike. We also
convey our sincere thanks to the electronic and print media of Delhi and all other
states. We seek their continuous support and guidance in our future struggles
for achieving our prime demand i.e., grant of civil servant status to GDS.
CONDUCT
VICTORY RALLIES AND DEMONSTRATIONS
All Circle /
Divisional Secretaries are requested to organize nationwide victory rallies,
demonstrations and celebrations at all places on 7th & 8th
June 2018.
Remember
this is only one step forward and there are miles to go before we achieve our
final goal – “civil servant status to all GDS”. Definitely our dreams shall
become true one day. Keep the unity intact and march forward. Final victory
shall be ours.
With
struggle greetings,
Yours
sincerely
