48 HOURS STRIKE ON 1st & 2nd
DECEMBER-2015
7th Central Pay Commission has
completed its task. The Report is ready and it was to be submitted by 30th
September, 2015. Pay Commission requested to grant extension for two months to
bind up the office but Government is very generous to grant extension for four
months i.e. up to 31st December, 2015. National Joint Council of
Action of National Council JCM constituent organizations took decision to defer
the Indefinite Strike to be held from 23rd November-2015 as Pay Commission has not submitted
its report. NFPE has taken decision earlier to go on indefinite strike from 23rd
November-2015. But due to some technical reasons and in the wake of decision of
NJCA, NFPE Federal Secretariat meeting held at
Hyderabad on 11.10.2015 had
reviewed the entire situation and came to the conclusion that 48 hours
strike on 1st & 2nd December-2015 will be organized in the Department of Post
on 4 Points Charter of demands which
include ,
Inclusion of GDS in
7th CPC , Implement cadre Restructuring proposals in all sections,
filling up of all vacant posts in all
cadres as per actual sanctioned strength
and stopping up of all types of
harassments in the name of implementation of various new services and schemes and Trade Union Victimization.
Neither Government of India nor Department of Post
appears to be sincere towards the genuine demands of Postal Employees including
GDS. Our demand of inclusion of GDS in 7th CPC which was assured by
the Secretary (P) and Minister Communication is still unsettled. They are not
at all serious to settle the genuine demand of poor GDS employees who are still
deprived from all the basic rights and facilities extended to the regular
Government employees. We cannot tolerate this state of affairs of exploitation
of GDS employees and can go to any extent until and unless the GDS employees
are treated as regular Government employees and given all the due rights and
facilities extended to regular Government employees.
The
Cadre restructuring proposals in all Cadres including Postal Accounts and MMS
were finalized about 2 years ago but still these are not implemented. If this
could not be implemented before the implementation of report of 7th CPC , it will be of
no use.
Postal
staff in each cadre is facing lot of hardship due to acute shortage of staff,
because the recruitment is not being done on the basis of actual sanctioned
strength. If staff shortage is met out more than 50% problems will be solved
automatically.
One
of the most burning problems is the harassment of staff in all cadres in the
name of implementation of various schemes and services and trade union
victimization. CBS and CSI has become a very serious problem. Without
developing proper infrastructure these schemes are being implemented and staff
is facing more difficulties and harassment from administration as well as
public. More and more staff is being made victim under contributory negligence
factor. If any union representative raises his voice against all these excesses
he is victimized.
This state of affairs on the part of
administration cannot be tolerated more.
Therefore
the Federal Secretariat of NFPE has decided unanimously to go on 48 hours
Strike on 1st and 2nd December-2015.
NFPE
call upon the entirety of Postal, RMS and GDS employees to make all efforts
to make the 48 hours strike a historic
success and make the department and
Government of India to understand
that Postal Employees will not
leave their genuine demands and will always remain on the path of
struggle.
Unitedly
we fight we will win. We have won on so many occasions and this time also we
will win.
UNITY FOR
STRUGGLE AND STRUGGLE FOR UNITY.
