MAKE FEBRUARY STRIKE A GRAND SUCESS

Dear Comrades

NFPE Calls the entire Postal Community to make the February 12th and 13th Strike a Grand and Thundering Success. All the Central Government Employees jointly Demands the Central Government to do the following things

1) Withdraw the Anti Staff and Neo Liberal Policies

2) Constitute 7th Pay Commission

3) Accept the Terms of Reference submitted by Staff Side

4) Order DA merger and Interim Relief

5) Departmentalization of GDS Officials and Bring them under the purview of 7th Pay Comission

6) Withdraw the PFRDA Act and Scrap New Pension System

7) Ensure Statutory Pension to all

Etc Etc............................

Comrades, there is no other way to fulfill our demands and to open the eyes of Government, other than Fight. Let us remind you the wordings of Com. Tarapada Mukherjee

Take it from me, comrades, that petitions and memorandums and supplications will count for nothing so long as we do not organize ourselves in a manner to convince the Government ………… The ground is ready, only some daring spirits are wanted to sow the seed and reap abundant harvest.

CALL FROM SECRETARY GENERAL NFPE

Make the two days strike a thundering success in Postal

Dear Comrades,

Once again, NFPE and Confederation have taken the lead rising up to the occasion and have decided to go for 2 days Nationwide Strike on 2014 February 12^th and 13^th.

All of you know that the Government was compelled to declare 7^th CPC only because of the struggles conducted by NFPE and Confederation including 2012 July 26^th massive Parliament March and 12.12.2012 one day strike followed by 2 days National strike on February 20^th & 21^st, 2013 alongwith Central Trade Unions. Government has not constituted the 7^th CPC till date and it is not ready to grant DA merger and interim relief. Further the Postal Board has made it clear that GDS will not be included under the purview of 7^th CPC. Wage revision of casual labourers is long pending. Government is not ready to review its decision to impose contributory pension scheme on the employees joined service on or after 01.01.2004. Most of the anomalies of 6^th CPC including MACP anomalies are still pending.

It is needless to say that unless and until we mobilize employees and go for Strike action Government will not be ready to concede any of our demands. General Election is going to be declared in the last week of February or first week of March 2014. Parliament will be in session only upto 14^th February 2014, it is reported. Once the election is announced, we cannot expect any favourable decision from the Government. Even after election, no decision can be expected within 6 months of assumption of office by the new Government i.e till the end of December 2014.

Hence it is the right time to strike. If we miss the bus now we cannot catch it again and we will be blamed by the employees for our inaction. It is in this back ground NFPE & Confederation has taken the decision to organize 2 days strike when the Parliament is in session. Our main demands are DA merger, Interim relief, grant of Civil servant status and inclusion of GDS in 7^th CPC, date of effect of 7^th CPC from 01.01.2014, regularisation and revision of wages of casual labourers, rescind PFRDA Act and scrap new Pension scheme and settlement of anomalies. Other demands in 15 Point Charter of demands are equally important. Strike Notice will be served to cabinet secretary by Confederation and Secretary Department of Posts by NFPE and its affiliated organizations on 21.01.2014.

NFPE is the biggest affiliate of Confederation and it is our duty to ensure that 100% strike is organised in each and every Circle/Division. We should take the lead to organize other sections of the employees also especially Grameen Dak Sevaks. It is not known whether the so called recognised GDS union will follow the decision of NFPE. It has not given strike notice to secretary, Department of Posts during the 12^th December 2012 strike organised by NFPE and Confederation.

AIPEU GDS (NFPE), the newly formed GDS Union of NFPE, has already decided to join in the strike and we are sure that even if the so called recognised union is not ready to follow NFPE and join the strike, GDS employees will definitely participate enmasse in this strike under the banner of NFPE and AIPEU GDS (NFPE). GDS demands are also the most important demands of the strike charter.

All of you are aware that NFPE and AIPEU GDS (NFPE) has filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court for implementation 1977 Supreme Court Judgment and grant of Civil Servant status plus other benefits of regular employees to the GDS. The supreme court has directed the Delhi High Court to consider the case and deliver judgment. The case came up for hearing in the Delhi High court on 15.01.2014 and it posted for next hearing on 07.05.2014.

Thus NFPE and AIPEU GDS (NFPE) are sincerely fighting for the cause of GDS both organizationally and legally.

Remember the words of our great founder leader Com. Tarapada Mukherjee

“Take it from me, comrades, that petitions and memorandums and supplications will count for nothing so long as we do not organize ourselves in a manner to convince the Government ………… The ground is ready, only some daring spirits are wanted to sow the seed and reap abundant harvest”.

DEMONSTRATION IN FRONT OF PALAKKAD HO BY CONFEDERATION PALAKKAD DT COMMITTEE

A demonstration in front of Palakkad Head Post office was conducted at 05:30 pm on 01.01.14 by Confederation of Central Govt Employees and Workers , Palakkad district committee to include the following items in the TERMS OF REFERENCE of 7th CPC

1. Date of effect as 01.01.2014
2. Merger of DA with Pay
3. Grant of Interim Relief
4. Inclusion of GDS under the ambit of 7th CPC
5. Statutory pension to those entered into service on or after 01.01.2004
6. Cashless/hassle-free medicare facilities etc

Com.Unnikrishnan Chazhiyad , President, Confederation dt Committee, while welcoming the gathring , stressed the importance of mounting the pressure by the working class on the Government for their legitimate demands.

Com.Madhusudhanan Convenor, LCC, presided over the function.

Com. Vijayakumar, Circle Vice President, AIPEU Group C (NFPE) while inaugurating the demonstration, articulated the Central Govt's predicament of announcing 7th CPC. It was due to the relentless demands and struggles put forth by us , and not due to any populist measure in view of the impending elections to the state legislatures as orchestrated by the media, Central Govt announced this 7th CPC. But still, our demands are on the midway. Only the continued struggles will yield justice for central govt. workers.

Com.V.Murugan, President, AIPEU GDS (NFPE), expressed gratitude.

To

The SSPOs

Palakkad 678001

Sir,

The following items may please be discussed in the monthly meeting to be held on January 2014

Delay in sanctioning medical reimbursement bills.

Bills are long pending. Action may be taken to clear it immediately.

Dequarterisation of Ayalur PO.

Quarter’s portion of the building is highly dilapidated and inconvenient to use. Action may take to de-quartarise.

Negative attitude in APAR reporting.

The methodology adopted to evaluate the output of employees is unscientific and created frustration and demoralization in the mind of employees. Request to take a fair and transparent attitude in the changed scenario.

Yours truly

M Velayudhan

Secretary

AIPEU Group-C (NFPE)
