Beware of paper and website Tigers

We have a doubt that the PJCA (NFPE-FNPO) leaders are suffering from Algiers disease unfortunately they forgot the past history due to this chronic disease. We are nothing to do except express our pity and wishing them speedy recovery. But the GDS who are being continuously cheated and diverted by these great great leaders did not forget past history.

The so called leaders are roaring in papers and websites regarding indefinite strike for GDS to be included in the 7^th Pay Commission. We would like to recall the past events once. The great great PJCA (NFPE-FNPO) leaders issued Indefinite strike notices four times and withdrew the strike four times on the fake assurances of the department without achieving single demand since 2004 cheating not only the GDS but also all categories of postal employees.

At the time of appointment of 6^th Pay Commission, the PJCA (NFPE-FNPO) leaders demanded for inclusion of GDS in the 6^th Pay Commission elsewhere. But in the indefinite strike notice issued by PJCA (NFPE-FNPO) on 09-04-2007, the inclusion demand has been vanished. They demanded judicial committee for GDS in the indefinite strike notice. They deffered the indefinite strike again on fake assurances of the Department. The only achievement is that they got recognition without GDS. Then they felt very happy without GDS. Now they are roaring for Indefinite strike.

We are proud to say that we are the only one recognized union among the GDS fraternity in the Department of Posts. We are trying to do our best for the cause of GDS.

While you are sleeping in the dens, we are fighting for Rs. 3500/- bonus ceiling and achieved. We have conducted four days indefinite strike against the Govt. historically for inclusion of GDS in the purview of 7^thCPC when you have supported the Govt. and attacked the indefinite strike with your kith and kin with false propaganda ignoring that you are the trade union leaders of sister unions.

It is open secret that the Finance Ministry and Department of expenditure refused the demand regarding inclusion of GDS in the purview of 7^th CPC. Then only we demanded for judicial committee like justice Charanjit Singh Talwar Committee, which is called by so called NFPE leaders as “MAGNACARTA” to GDS. The PJCA leaders shamelessly trying to divert GDS saying that the recognized union wants one man committee and intentionally avoiding to say judicial committee.

ARE YOU READY TO ISSUE INDEFINITE STRIKE FOR GDS INCLUSION IN 7^TH CPC? IF YOU DO SO WE ARE READY TO JOIN IN YOUR INDEFINITE STRIKE ON CONDITION THAT THE INDEFINITE STRIKE SHOULD NOT BE WITHDRAWN UNTIL THE GOVT. ACCEPTED THE DEMAND IN WRITING. WE ARE AWAITING YOUR DECISION UNTIL 17/12/2014.

We appeal the GDS who are under arrest in the iron hands of so called leaders coming out and join in the main stream to build united struggle for the cause of GDS under the banner of AIGDSU.

Subject;-   Examination of service conditions and wage-structure of Gramin Dak Sevak employees-appointment of judicial Committee as per the Agreement signed between the Department and AIGDSU, the recognized union

Respected Sir,

You will kindly agree that the Gramin Dak Sevaks (formerly known as E.D. agents), the most exploited and discriminated employees are the humble servants of rural population with regard to provision and maintenance of Postal services. The Supreme Court has declared that these employees are the holders of Civil Post. The Fourth Central Pay Commission agreed that in view of this judgment, the E.D. employees were covered under the purview of terms of reference of the Commission.

The Department of Posts realised the position and made a conscious decision, by appointing a one man-judicial Committee to examine the issue under Justice Charanjit Talwar, a retired judge of Delhi High Court after appointment of the Fifth Pay Commission. Justice Talwar Committee made several landmark recommendations to improve the service conditions of Gramin Dak Sevaks.

We as the only recognised representatives of the Gramin Dak Sevaks, we demand for appointment a one man committee under a retired Judge of a High Court/Supreme Court. We may add that this is in accordance with the terms of the agreement that was signed between the department and this union during 2014 February indefinite strike on 21^st February, 2014. We are submitting herewith a copy of the agreement also for your ready reference.

We on behalf of 2.65 Lakh of Gramin Dak Sevaks, humble servants of rural population urge upon you to intervene and utilise your good offices to ensure appointment of a one man committee under a retired Judge of a High Court/Supreme Court to honour the strike agreement.

If the Department of Post insists on its arbitrary action as done in the previous occasion, then we would be compelled to resort to instant Trade union action including indefinite or Till settlement STRIKE.

With profound regards,

Yours faithfully,

                   Sd/-
