Let us organise Non-cooperation from 5th to 9th July, 2010
and Indefinite Strike from July 13th onwards in such a way that
the entire Postal with (Gramin Dak Sevak) and
RMS Offices comes to a standstill
STRIKE TO SURVIVE
The entirety of above five lakhs Postal and RMS Employees of INDIA POST will be on non-co-operation from 5th to 9th July and Indefinite Strike from 13th July 2010, as per the call given by the Joint Council of Action comprising of National Federation of Postal Employees, Federation of National Postal Organisations and the Gramin Dak Sevaks Unions. Hectic preparations are going on in every circle and there will be Non-cooperation from 5th to 9th July 2010 and total strike all over India. Functioning of the INDIA POST will be completely paralysed.
We are compelled to resort to indefinite strike action as we have been pushed to the wall. The attitude of the Government and the Postal Board is totally negative. All negotiating forums are defunct since above four years. Negotiation takes place only when strike notice is served. No formal meetings, No JCM Departmental Council Meetings. No consultation with Unions on important issues affecting the employees. It seems that the Postal Administration is not ready to accept the reality that in a democratic setup issues can be resolved only through negotiations with all stakeholders including the Unions.
About one lakh posts has been abolished during the last ten years in the name of downsizing. Employees are reeling under the pressure of excess workload. The shortage of staff has adversely affected the efficiency of the INDIA POST. Thousands of posts in all cadres are lying vacant. Closure of offices, large scale outsourcing, downgradation of EDSOs, violation of RMS agreement, harassment of staff in Project Arrow offices (100% delivery of the articles by the Postman), abnormal delay in cadre restructuring, negative and inhumane attitude towards Gramin Dak Sevaks, denial of pay parity to MMS Drivers, Non-grant of revised wages to
Casual Labourers, anomalies in MACP Scheme, total neglect towards the system Administrators, unilateral decentralization of RPLI/PLI work, denial of merger of Group - C Accounts cadre in DOP & DOT - all these long pending issues are agitating the minds of the employee and resentment is mounting day by day.
O.T.A. Rate and Postman Divided Beat Allowance has not been revised since last many years. The non-cooperation from 5th to July 2010 and indefinite strike from July 13th is to protect the INDIA POST and also to protect the interest of its more than five lakhs workforce. Downsizing, outsourcing, privatisation, harassment of postasl staff, closure of offices are against the interest of the INDIA POST. Only workers can protect the legacy of INDIA POST. Battle line is drawn and it is upto the Government and Postal Board to decide whether there should be an indefinite strike or not. The ball is in their court. Let us unite together with determination and make the Non-cooperation a sucess and Strike a tremendous success. Let more than five lakhs Postal with Gramin Dak Sevak and RMS employees all over India standup and declare in one voice - we shall fight unitedly, come what may. We are confident that success will ours.
In the first stage of Non-cooperation from 5th to 9th July 2010 should be implemented carefully. The employee should come to work on time and leave the work-place on time. The work should be done according to the Time Factor of 8 hours norms. Do not put an extra hour of work even if the work is demanding. If this stage is implemented successfully and still the Postal Board / Government does not solve the problem then from 13th July 2010 onwards we will go on Indefinite Strike.
Remember UNITY IN ACTION is our watch word.

Save the Postal Service as Public Service and Postal Workers
History and events have proved in the past that the desire of neglecting the Union and exerting total authority do not succeed. Trade Unions came into existence against all odds, have sustained all offensives and have succeeded in ensuring that workers never relent or retreat inspite of ruthless repression.
Call has been given to go for indefinite strike to oppose the anti-workers policies and non-consultation with staff side on staff matter. Non-filling of vacant posts, non- consideration of cadre review etc. Our sincere efforts through dialogue to mitigate the issues faced by the postal workers are taken as our weakness. Workers have been forced to go with this programme of Indefinite Strike to save Postal, RMS and also the workers from the exploitation and defective policies of the Government.
In the name of Project Arrow the employees of grass root level are being tortured and exploited. The efficiency of service can be achieved only by providing required manpower and simplifying the procedure. So many new business schemes are introduced but withdrawn subsequently, withdrawal of services of carrying mails by flight is the example about the faulty decision resulting loss to the Department for which no contributory negligence provisions are made against the authorities those who have taken decision. On the other hand it is only to the employees working at the base. Even for the drawal of bonus to GDS the same higher ups are issuing orders to recover from the DDO’s and SPO’s in case of overdrawal.
The buildings already renovated are now brought under the Project Arrow. Lakhs of rupees are being spend. The funds allotted for staff quarters are being misused by some Circle Heads to beautify their quarters. In some Circles CPMG are misusing the funds allotment resulting with no any maintenance works in the staff quarters over the years.
Due to the fault of the management, the huge cost of services are incurred. But the blame is shifted on the shoulders of the employees and they are squeezed to enforce the economy by orders of banning creation of posts, denial of over time, incentive, due promotions and officiating pay, abolition of section, sorting offices in RMS, curtailment of delivery, closure of POs etc. As responsible Trade Union, we must resist this kind of policy offensives unleashed by the Authority.
The 13th July 2010 Strike is aiming not only for demands like filling of posts, cadre review etc. but also against the policy offensives like closure of POs, privatisation of PO Postal Services, closure of RMS offices etc. we can resist such moves of Department and save the Postal Service as Public Service.
Let us organise the 13th July Strike with full vigour, determination and make it a grand success to keep the Post intact.

PREPARE FOR INDEFINITE STRIKE FROM 13 JULY 2010
MOBILISE ONE AND ALL
We have to apply ourselves to the task of mobilizing each and every employee irrespective of their affiliations in the unions, educate them the rationale behind the struggle programme and the need for the cent percent participation in the ensuing indefinite strike to be held from 13.7.2010
The struggle is mainly launched against the policy offensives unleashed by the present Govt and the department with a prelude to corporatization and privatization of postal services in the days to come. Supreme and strenuous efforts are required to ensure that all our ranks are ready for this massive programme. This task is most important and urgent and the need of the hour.
Time is too short. Organise tour programmes. Visit the post offices in person. Explain the rank and file about the need of the programme and the unilateralism practices by the postal authorities in dealing the unions. Explain the discriminatory treatment met out by them in all service matters whether it is cadre restructuring or revision of daily allowance, overtime allowance etc among them and the railway employees.
Prepare for the massive strike from 13th July 2010 – Our tasks
1. Contact each and every worker in your office and convince him about the inevitability of the struggle.
2. Hold gate meetings, lunch hour meetings, meetings of active workers, General body meetings, joint meetings to explain in detail about the charter of demands and that every possible attempt was made to parley to reach an amicable settlement but resulted in vain
3. Filling up of the vacant posts, shortage of staff, consideration of cadre review proposals, full fledged staff to project arrow offices revival of negotiations forums are the basic demands in which no compromise could be arrived. There will be no compromise on policy issues to save postal and RMS.
4. Maximum mobilization and massive action alone can compel the Govt to concede our basic demands
DON’T THINK THAT THERE WILL BE NEGOTIATIONS AND STRIKE MAY NOT TAKE PLACE .THE SITUATION IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT. THERE IS NO POSITIVE EFFORTS TO SORT OUT THE ISSUES IN THE ACTION TAKEN STATEMENT SENT BY THE DEPARTMENT.
THIRTEENTH JULY 2010 WILL DAWN WITH THICKNESS IN THE AIRAND WARMTH IN THE EARTH.THE SPIRIT OF DEFIANCE, DETERMINATION AND THE DEPTH OF THE FEELINGS OF THE WORKERS WILL UNLEASH ITSELF WITH FORCE AND FIRMNESS AND IN FULL STRENGTH
LET ALL REFUSE OUR LABOUR TO THE EMPLOYER TILL OUR GENUINE DEMANDS ARE MITIGATED
BE PREPARED. MOBILSE ONE AND ALL. MAKE THE GOVT TO COME DOWN AND SETTLE OUR DEMANDS
