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
21st 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/-
S.S. Mahadevaiah,
General Secretary
