30th
ALL INDIA CONFERENCE
2015
JUNE 04-08 – LUCKNOW (UTTAR PRADESH)
POLICY
& PROGRAMME RESOLUTION ADOPTED IN THE AIC
1. The after
effects of the recession that devastated the economy of the capitalist
countries is still looming large over their head and there is no immediate sign
of recovery, eventhough the pro-capitalist economists and heads of the
developed nations are claiming to the contrary.
The financial and industrial sectors of these countries are reeling
under the negative impacts of recession.
Unemployment is growing like anything.
The bailout packages and other short and long term measures taken has
only helped the trans-national corporations to survive, but the plight of the
workers and common man is becoming more and more miserable. Cuts in employment and social security measures
have further aggravated the situation. The economies of the countries which are
pursing a pro-socialist and anti-globalization policies are comparatively less
effected and are poised for rapid economic growth. The resistance against the ill-effects of the
neo-liberal globalization policies are gaining momentum all over the
world. Workers went on strike and common
people of those countries are also coming out to the street in large numbers
protesting against these policies. This 30th
All India Conference of AIPEU Group-C, extend full solidarity and support to
the struggles conducted by the workers and other toiling masses all over the
world and pledge to be a part and parcel of this struggle.
2. In our
country, the NDA Govt. is virtually toeing the US line and is going ahead with
the neo-liberal agenda. Steep rise in
prices of essential commodities, disbanding of public distribution system,
disinvestment of public sector, introduction of casual and contract labour
system, decision to allow 51% FDI in
multi-brand retail trade, hectic persuation to get major financial sector
related bills on pension privatisation, banking and insurance sector, the game
plan for privatisation of vital infrastructural and public utility services,
the so-called private-public partnership in almost every sector, the repeated
hike in prices of petroleum products are glaring examples of this policy. Struggle
and strikes are taking place in every sector against the neo-liberal reforms
and also against the anti-worker, anti-people policies of the Govt. The entire working class of India under the
banner of United Platform of Mass Organizations is spearheading the struggle
against these policies. In the coming
days, the struggle will be further intensified.
The Postal employees under the banner of National Federation of Postal
Employees have participated in all the national strikes organized by the
Central Trade Unions. This 30th AIC of AIPEU Group-C congratulates
the workers and employees who participated in the united struggle of the
working class and we shall continue our struggle and shall always identify
ourselves with the mainstream of the working class.
3. The Central
Govt. Employees are the first victims of the neo-liberal economic policies
pursued by the Central Govt. from 1991 onwards.
During the last twenty years about six lakhs posts are abolished. Further five lakhs posts are lying vacant in
various departments. Many departments are
closed or privatized. More and more
casual and contract workers are engaged. Social security schemes, including
statutory pension scheme are given a go-bye.
Instead share market oriented contributory Pension Scheme is
introduced. Three lakhs Gramin Dak
Sevaks are denied of their legitimate rights.
Even compassionate appointments are denied, imposing arbitrary
restrictions. Bonus ceiling not yet
raised. Merger of 50% D.A. with pay,
Interim Relief, inclusion of GDS under 7th CPC stands rejected by
Govt. This 30th AIC of AIPEU Group-C, while saluting the Central Govt.
Employees, particularly Postal employees, for their participation in all
agitational programmes calls upon the National leadership of the confederation
to carry forward the struggle till the demands are met by the Government, and
reversion of the policy of down sizing, outsourcing, contractorisation and
privatisation.
4. In the
Postal sector the Government want to implement the Task Force Report which aims
to corporatize the Postal Services by divding the existing service sector into
six and make five corporations and leave the letter delivery services as the
Government Services. This is nothing but to privatise the Postal in the future
by entering PPP and FDI in the Postal Communication sector and granting
licences to the multi-national
courier services. Government want to
close down post offices in the name of loss.
Posts are abolished without any justification. Workload has increased but new posts are not
created. Cadre restructuring and other
sectional issues are yet to be settled.
The National Federation of Postal Employees (NFPE) has taken initiative
to organise agitational programmes and mobilise the employees for action
including indefinite strikes and as a result the Postal Administration was
compelled to stop their move for closure of 9797 Post Offices. Many long pending issues are settled and mass
scale recruitment has taken place.
Department was forced to convene the JCM Departmental Council meetings
and formal meetings and discuss all the issues with the staff side.
The Government is reluctant to settle the issues relating
to Gramin Dak Sevaks and casual labourers and in particular in remitting their
cases for consideration by the Seventh Pay Commission.
