Dear Comrades,

General Elections are over and a new Government has come to power. The UPA Government which has not done justice to GDS employees and the common people of the country and faced a humiliating defeat. Now it is the turn of Shri Narendra Modi Government.  New Communications Minister Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad has taken charge. People of the country has high expectations about the Govt. As the Govt. has only just taken charge, from our earlier experiences, coming to any sudden conclusion about the Govt., may not correct.

7^th Central Pay Commission & GDS

Even before the terms of reference of the 7^th CPC is declared by the Govt., the recognized GDS Union has signed an agreement with the Department accepting separate Committee. Naturally, the Govt., excluded GDS from the Terms of Reference of 7^th CPC. NFPE, AIPEU GDS (NFPE) & Confederation of Central Govt. Employees & Workers conducted two days strike on Feb 12^th & 13^th 2014 demanding inclusion of GDS in 7^th CPC. The recognized Union cheated the GDS. As election was declared during April & May,  we could not conduct any further agitation during the said period. As per the call of NFPE & Confederation, we conducted intensive campaign against the anti-GDS stand of the UPA Govt., and also against the cheating of the recognized GDS Union.

SUPREME COURT TRANSFERRED THE CASE TO DELHI HIGH COURT AND FIRST HEARING TOOK PLACE ON 13-01-2014.

You are well aware that NFPE & AIPEU GDS (NFPE) filed a Writ Petition in the Supreme Court, requesting :

(1)   Implementation of the 1977 Supreme Court Judgment and grant of Civil Servant status and all  benefits of Departmental employees  to GDS.

(2)   Scraping of the GDS (Conduct&Engagment) Rules 2011

(3)   Inclusion of GDS under 7^th CPC.

The case is came up for hearing on 07-05-2014. Advocate for the Govt., of India, Department of Posts appeared in High Court and requested six weeks extension of time for filing their reply statement. The High Court granted six weeks time for Govt., and also time for filing additional reply statement, if any,  by our Advocate. Next hearing of the case is on 19^th September, 2014, the anniversary day of 1968 Sept 19^th strike and 19^th September 1984 was the first one day  strike only for the cause of  GDS Employees.

BEFORE GOING FOR AN AGITATIONAL PROGRAMME ON GDS DEMANDS, SUBMISSION OF MASS MEMORANDUM TO PRIME MINISTER & COMMUNICATION MINISTER

As the new Govt. has just taken charge, it will not be appropriate on our part to go for an agitation immediately. Further such a sudden agitation may not get public support also. Hence the CHQ has decided to submit a mass memorandum signed by maximum number of GDS about two lakhs to the Prime Minister of India & Communications Minister in the month of July 2014. 

The copy will be supplied to all Branches & Divisions by the CHQ.

Proforma of the Memorandum will be published in the web sites also. Please obtain maximum signatures of GDS in the Memorandum and submit to CHQ before 15-07-2014 to the following address :

FOR THE ATTENTION OF GDS COMRADES :

Dear Comrades,

For the last few days our CHQ & NFPE is receiving large number of phone calls every day enquiring about the formation of divisional unions in the name of AIPEU GDS (NFPE) in the respective circles besides seeking information about the Court Case for Departmentalization of GDS & GDS Pay Committee etc.,

Our Secretary General, General Secretaries are very much patiently answering to all and explaining the current situation on organizational set up  and GDS issues. After knowing all the facts about the efforts of NFPE & AIPEU GDS (NFPE) for Departmentalization of BOs and Regularization of GDS for the last two years; the GDS members are very much impressed and enthusiastically join in AIPEU GDS (NFPE) by forming the Divisional Unions in their respective Circles.

Now it is very well aware of thousands of GDS that the agreement signed by the so called recognized union is a DEATH WARRANT and happened to be a big hurdle for inclusion of GDS in 7^th CPC.

AIPEU GDS (NFPE) CHQ has been prepared a comprehensive memorandum on GDS issues to submit before the 7^th Pay Commission. After submission it will be published in our websites.

Com. M.Krishnan, Secretary General, NFPE called by the Secretary, 7^th Pay Commission for an interaction meeting on Postal Staff related issues on 29-05-2014.

The Secretary General, NFPE will explain all about the GDS Court Case and issues related to GDS and request need to consider GDS wage revision and service conditions under the purview of 7^th CPC.

Let us hope for the best.

  

For the information of GDS comrades, our Union is well established in many Circles & divisions, however in some areas it is not taken place because of some limited reasons or the other, it is now well known to the GDS comrades of each and every division of such Circles and seeking cooperation from our CHQ in the formation of Divisional Unions and ready to joining as members of AIPEU GDS(NFPE).

Welcoming the situation, our CHQ is sincerely assuring that what ever cooperation and information regarding GDS office bearers and Circle Secretaries are ready and one can contact them in such instance. After the formation of new Govt. a huge responsibility is going to be shouldered by the GDS to achieve the demand of “inclusion of GDS in the purview of 7^th CPC”.

Comrades, it is the high time to prepare ourselves for united struggles along with NFPE & Postal JCA. Many of our GDS have well experienced with the fragmented strikes conducted by the so called recognized union and adverse effects of such struggles.

NFPE and AIPEU GDS (NFPE) & POSTAL JCA ALONG WITH CENTRAL GOVT. EMPLYEES CONFEDERATION IS MARCH AHEAD FOR INTENSIVE STRUGGLE PROGRAMME FOR DEPARTMENTALIZATION OF BOs & REGULARIZATION OF GDS.

"No country, no people, no movement can stand aloof and be neutral in their struggle"
