MAY
DAY MANIFESTO AND COMING STRIKE
ON
20 MAY-2025
May Day Greetings and best wishes to our employees of Postal
Department irrespective of Political Colours and union. Special thanks and
revolutionary greetings to the readers of Postal Crusader and also our
organisers, leadership. Red Salute to the Martyrs of May Day. We also extending
Red Salute to the Martyrs in different sectors, main organisers who have
sacrificed their lives in the interest of working class. The working has been
spilling the sweat and blood for centuries to protect the rights, dignity and
honour. The seeds of sacrifice sown by the Hey Market Martyrs unified the
entire working class of the world, reminding and inspiring every year to
continue the saga of struggle against the injustice, inequality and
exploitation. May Day celebrations have become more and more relevant each year
on the face of onslaught of anti-employ and working policies of the govt.
If we review the national and
international scenario, we will see that year changes but the resolution of the
working class remains the same. Poverty, unemployment, price-rise, wage-cut,
absence or curbing of social security etc. are the common phenomenon across the
world, except a few socialist country. Year after year this is our common
experience. Again, if we consider the sequence of events, we will see the same
tradition. The “Post Office Act-2023” has come into effect from June 2024. It
replaced the 125 years old Indian Post Office Act 1898. The Govt. described
this as an act of the Parliament of India to consolidate and amend the law
relating to Post Office in India along with expansion and modernization of its
services.
Postal services come under the Union
List of the Constitution. The Indian
Post Office Act, 1898 regulates the postal services offered by the central
government. It grants the central
government exclusive privilege over conveying of letters. A Bill passed by
Parliament in 1986 sought to align the grounds for interception of an article
being transmitted through post with the reasonable restrictions on the
fundamental rights under the Constitution.
The Bill did not receive the assent of the President and was later
withdrawn. Even in 2006, Standing Committee of the Parliament headed by Com
Somenath Chatterjee clearly told exclusive privilege of letter mails must be
retained by the Govt to face challenges coming from courier services of the
corporates.
So, what ever be Govt’s declaration,
this act is nothing but blue print of corporatization and there by
privatization of Postal Department. Against such motive National Federation of
Postal Employees (NFPE) went on unprecedented Strike on 10th august
2022 and the Govt retreated at that time. After that derecognizing NFPE and its
most powerful affiliate All India Postal Employees Union, Gr C on fake
concocted grounds, the Govt is now came out with massive attack on Postal
Department with renewed vigour.
Mainly after 1991, if we have a look
in last three decades, we would see how the Govt. of India slowly but steadily
tried to implement the prescription of so called new liberal economic policy in
Postal Department. Amendment to Post Office and Courier Service bill, Corporate
Plan for India Post, Introduction of franchise outlets and National Postal
Policy 2012 were amongst them. But still there was some restriction which has
no trace in Modi-regime.
RMS/MMS are backbone of Postal
Department. During Corona the Department introduced private service i.e Road
Transport Network (RTN) in absence of railway communication. There was an
understanding that this system will be discontinued when railway will be
normal. But now when a well-established time-tested existing network Railway
(RMS) section and Air Ports are there, but RTN has been increased and that too
for distant areas. For sorting of speed post and registered/ordinary letters
there are separate offices (HUB). But now Department unilaterally ordered that
all speed post and registered articles will be sorted in same Hub. These
unilateral orders of Department will only ensure abolishing more than 100
sorting offices for registered articles. Not only that it will seriously tell
upon the efficiency and on-time servicing thereby affecting the entire
Department in terms of work order and revenue generation, besides affecting the
concerned employees in various ways. Already apart from Departmental organization,
Confederation of Central Govt Employees and Workers, different Central Trade
Unions like CITU, AITUC expressed their resentment and appealed to the Govt to
refrain from such type of anti-people activities.
In most cases to streamline the system,
decentralization is the accepted principle through the world. In our department
too it was time tested practice to deliver the postal goods to the customers
from all the delivery offices. But now Department has imported the idea from
British Royal Mails and accordingly formed Nodal Delivery Centers for delivery
of Parcel and Central Delivery Center of Speed Post Letters. This is the basic
reason for delayed deliver.
It is informed by the Department that
there is lack of monitoring mechanism to supervise delivery work in 19500
delivery offices. Further, implementation for delivery of parcel through NDC
(Nodal Delivery Centre) resulted improvement the delivery of parcels. This CHQ
disagreed with this. Quality of supervision with honestly solves the issue of
monitoring of delivery. Success of NDC may also examine through ground reality
by the Department.
At present, delivery work is done and
supervised by the Post Offices. There is no difficulty whatsoever in doing and
supervising the delivery work in addition to the counter operations at every
Post Office. Post Offices are the symbols of both the counter and delivery work
and the Supervisors, Postal Assistants and MTS staff at the counters as well as
the delivery Postman and the Supervisors, PAs and MTS staff etc. at the
delivery areas are earmarked to their respective work and performing well.
There is no need to bifurcate this by the formation of IDCs (Independent
Delivery Centers). The authorities are to ensure the proper manning of the
leave absenteeism which they cannot do with the policy of the Government to
reduce the LR percentage and deliberately keeping the offices understaffed.
This is the main reason for the hiccups in the functioning of the Post Offices
and bifurcating in the name of IDCs or delivery work is not going to solve the
problem at all. Moreover, numbers of delivery offices are going to be attached
with the idea of IDCs and this experiment will bring more delay to the delivery
work as experienced by the pilot schemes in one or two places. The Postal
system is best but the authorities are following courier practices which is
proven to be inferior to the Postal System.
We can see that the Postmen staff are
asked to do the PA work and take delivery of all accountable articles in the
computers instead of assigning proper PAs to the spots of leave availing PAs,
which is a common sight in the delivery areas of Post Offices. The issue is to
clean these perennial problems and not establishing a separate IDC. The action
of the Department is like giving fomentation in areas where the fomentation is
absolutely not needed, the need is to give fomentation where there is pain at present
Everybody knows in the name of IPPB
limited how sustained attack is going on our small savings. Even after that
common men are investing their money in small savings. In financial year 2021
to 2022 total deposit in POSB was 12.54 Lac which maintains the growth for next
period also. Postal Life Insurance (PLI) was introduced back in the year 1984.
Only in 2020-21, it has Rs. 8087 Cr as total premium deposited. The Rural PLI
deposit was Rs. 2820 Cr during the same time. From the facts and figures, it is
clear enough as to why the Govt. and share market giants are greedy to somehow
draw the Small Savings and Insurance money from Post Office to share market. If
the deposits of the Small Savings and PLI are taken over by the IPPB Ltd (India
Post Payment Bank Ltd), it would be a huge inflow of money and a surge of hope
for the IPPB Ltd, so is for the corporates.
We have to keep in mind that the
Modi-Govt is moving with privatization spree. Be in service sectors,
infrastructure financial sectors, power sectors everywhere in the name of
National Monetization Pipeline Policy (NMOP). Even when 3rd
Modi-Govt has failed to achieve absolute majority, its attitude towards
outsourcing, corporatization and privatization remains unchanged, rather
intensified. Under this back ground we have to consider “The Post Office
Act-2023” and also build up, from class outlook under the leadership of
National Federation of Postal Employees (NFPE) united struggle irrespective of
unions and associations so that the Central Govt is compelled to withdraw this
retrograde act. Merger of two GDS union is a great achievement to increase our
strength. We are sure in our journey we will get support people of this country
and also sectorial trade unions and Central Trade Unions.
Labour Code is nothing but to create Trade
Union free India to maximise the profit of the monopoly Corporates. The Working
Class will have no right to protests against the policies of the Govt. These rights achieved so far at the cost of
blood, sweat and death. Dept. Most deliberately and in a vindictive way has
derecognized NFPE/AIPEU Gr.-C and they are not implemented the stay order of
Jharkhand High Court against derecognition order. Once Labour Code is implemented
there will be no difference between ‘recognition’ or derecognition ‘for those
who oppose Govt. policies. So, without fail this Labour Code in to be halted.
Union supporting anti people Govt, Policies will only be allowed to function.
Derecognition NFPE/AIPEU Group-C, Dept is implementing all anti. Employees
Policies like the Post Office Act 2023 etc.
In these
circumstances, PJCA has been formed. PJCA means a common platform of NFPE, FNPO
and their GDS Union, since January 2025 under the banner of PJCA we are
observing series of organizational programme. Even PJCA has staged dharna
programme on 3rd March in Jantar Mantar, New Delhi. Our Charter of
demands is ready. We will issue Strike Notice on 2nd May-2025 with
the clear understanding to take part in Strike on 20 May to save our
department, its employees and also to protect the interests of common men
taking service from our department. Let us now carry forward intensive and
extensive campaign programme across the Country on our Charter of demands
We will build up struggle and Strike, and
we will win.
