Dear Comrades! 

 

Elections are round the corner. Once the Election Commission announces General Elections Notification, then the code of conduct will come into play. No demands could be negotiated and no struggle could be organised. As we know that the pay commission related demands are all already placed before the Standing Committee of JCM National Council but not at all considered before accepting recommendations of pay commission for implementation. The absence of merger of DA with basic pay in future at any point of time would be hard hitting our real wages after five years or so. Unless we could ensure a minimum of 40% fixation of pay for all sections of employees, the adverse impact of denial of merger of DA with pay in future cannot be offset. Similar is the importance of minimum wages of a Group D which should have been 10,000. Unless we raise these issues now through a strike notice and prepare for an industrial action, all the issues related to pay commission would be finished for the next 10 or 12 years. 

 

The Postal Charter of Demands contain many important and basic issues like cadre restructuring and exemption from Screening Committee etc. The Department of Posts unfortunately ignores our demands and issues without our constantly agitating now and then. For example the Sectional Charter of Demands submitted by NFPE - FNPO Federations and Unions jointly on 15.02.2008 did not even evince a response of acknowledgement from the Department,  leave alone negotiations and settlement. Without struggle there appears to be no alternative. These are the compulsions for strike notice.

 

The GDS issues also though submitted by us before the Senior Officers Committee and the Committee exhibited positive response on many issues and that the Department has assured in writing that adequate opportunity would be provided for presenting our case, we cannot afford to take any risk that all the modifications would be incorporated and that all the negative recommendations would be rejected. We may not be able to organise a separate strike action for GDS once again. So the strike charter of Confederation as well as the NFPE includes the GDS issues also.

 

NFPE and Confederation have taken the decision for organising the strike in right earnest and convened State level Conventions as well as Regional level strike campaign meetings to be attended by All India leaders. Detailed Campaign Materials of Common Charter and Postal Charter are already placed in the websites.

 

Circle and Divisinal and Branch level leadership are to take the preparations very seriously and commence strike campaign and meetings. Without sound preparations there cannot be any meaningful negotiations with the Government.
