Dear Friends and Comrades,
Meeting of the Postal Joint
Council of Action was held on 11.11.2014 at New Delhi. Shri D. Theagarajan,
Secretary General, FNPO presided. Com. R. N. Parashar, Secretary General, NFPE
presented agenda items for discussion. General Secretaries of affiliated
Unions/Associations of NFPE & FNPO attended. Com. M. Krishnan, Ex-Secretary
General of NFPE was also present in the meeting. PJCA reviewed the progress in
settlement of 39 points charter of demands submitted to Secretary, Department
of Posts on 28.08.2014. PJCA came to the unanimous conclusion that not even a
single issue is settled by the Government and Department. Employees are
suffering but authorities are turning a deaf year towards their genuine
demands. Rome is burning but Neros are fiddling.
None of our demand is
unjustified. Five lakhs Postal and RMS employees including Gramin Dak Sewaks
and Casual, Part-time, contingent employees cannot remain as mute spectators.
There is a limit for our patience. Government and Postal Board are treating our
patience as our weakness.
Taking into consideration all the
above aspects, the PJCA unanimously took the following decision.
1. Entire
five lakhs employees of the Department of Posts will go on indefinite strike
from the third week of February 2015, if the demands are not settled before
31.12.2014.
2. The
date of the indefinite strike will be declared in the 4th December
2014 Parliament March.
3. Every
effort should be made by all All India/Circle/Divisional Unions to ensure
maximum participation of employees in the Parliament March. Minimum 20000
employees should participate in the March. All should bring flags and banners.
4. Leaders
of INTUC, CITU, AITUC & JCM National Council staff side will be invited to
address the Parliament March.
5. Next
PJCA meeting will be held on 03.12.2014 at 5 PM to decide the date of
indefinite strike.
Let us march
ahead with Determination and courage. This is time to show your sincerity
towards the cause of five lakhs employees of the Department of Posts. Let us
make the parliament March a Historic success. Let us unite together and make
the indefinite strike a Thundering success. Let the Government and Postal Board
understand that we are not Dumb-Driven cattle. We are workers and not beggars.
AWAKE! ARISE!! UNITE!!
Come in the Thousands to the Parliament March
Let us declare the indefinite strike in the presence of 20000 Postal
Employees on 4th December 2014
Yours sincerely,
R. N. Parashar D.
