RESOLUTION ON POSTAL DEMANDS
AND PROGRAMME OF ACTION
This
10th Federal Council of National Federation of Postal Employees
(NFPE) held at Guwahati (Assam) from 7th to 9th September
2016, views with grave concern the totally negative attitude of the Central
Government in settling the common demands of the Central Government employees
including increase in minimum wage and fitment formula and other modifications
sought for by the National Joint Council of Action (NJCA) and JCM (NC) staff
side. The Federal Council while appreciating the efforts being made by
Confederation of Central Government employees & Workers jointly with NJCA
to settle the demands calls upon the NJCA to organize higher form of trade
union action including revival of the deferred strike to get the demands
settled in a time-bound manner.
This
Federal Council further notes that in the Postal department also due to the
negative attitude of the Government and Postal administration long pending
demands are remaining unsettled. None of the 7th CPC related demands
of various cadres of Postal department are settled. Regularization of Gramin Dak
Sevaks and grant of all benefits of regular employees on pro-rata basis is
still pending. The New Pension Scheme (NPS) has created uncertainty among the
employees recruited after 01.01.2004, about their pensionary benefits.
Department has unilaterally issued orders for outsourcing booking and delivery
of registered, speed post and express parcel post articles. The task force
committee recommendations are not yet dropped, no effective remedial measures
are taken to streamline the functioning of CBS/CIS, revision of wages and
payment of arrears of casual labourers from 01.01.2006 is still pending in many
circles, more than 60000 vacancies in various cadres including promotional
posts are remaining unfilled. All the above issues are agitating the minds of
the employees for a long time.
The
federal council after reviewing the situation prevailing in the Postal
department came to the unanimous conclusion that to settle the above issues,
serious agitational programmes are to be launched. Accordingly the Federal
Council resolve to implement the following phased pregramme of action, either
independently or jointly with other Federation.
Programme of action
1st Phase - March to all
Divisional offices and submission of copy of memorandum to all Divisional
heads. (Memorandum and Charter of demands will be submitted to Minister,
Communications and Secretary posts on the same day).
2nd Phase - Mass dharna
in front of all Divisional offices.
3rd Phase - Mass dharna
in front of all CPMG/PMG offices.
4th Phase - Mass
demonstration in front of Dak Bhawan, New Delhi.
Inspite of the above
agitational programmes , if the Government of India and department of
Posts refuse to
concede the legitimate demands of the Postal Employees, NFPE shall
Organize higher form of trade union action
including indefinite strike. This Federal Council
authorizes the
Federal Executive to take follow up action in this regard.
