Sir,

 

The Federal Secretariat of NFPE that met on 9.12.2008 has considered the submitted report of Nataraja Murti Committee and the constitution of a Senior Officers Committee for considering the implementation thereof. It has also considered the Note submitted by the NFPE as well as by the different GDS Unions / Federations seeking modification in the report. The fact that no discussion over the modifications requested by the staff side is forthcoming is also engaged the attention of the Federal Secretariat.

 

The All India Postal Extra Departmental Employees Union has served a Notice for Indefinite Strike from 17.12.2008. In this background the Federal Secretariat after a thorough discussion on 9.12.2008 has resolved to request the Postal Board to commence meaningful negotiations with the Staff Side to modify the Nataraja Murti Committee recommendations and settle the demands to avert the Indefinite Strike for preservation of tranquillity and peace in the services.

 

The resolution adopted in the Federal Secretariat requesting negotiations and also expressing solidarity by the regular employees to the strike action of GDS is enclosed for favour of your kind information and necessary action.
