Dear friends / comrades,
Union Cabinet today approved the Kamalesh Chandra Committee Report.
Full details given in the PIB Bulletin is enclosed.
An emergency meeting of all three striking GDS unions (AIGDSU,
AIPEU-GDS & FNPO) held today at AIGDSU office
and after reviewing the entire situation, unanimously decided to call off the
16 days historic indefinite strike of 2.76 lakhs Gramin Dak Sevaks.
The three GDS Unions further decided that, if any adverse
conditions are there in the Govt orders, if major positive recommendations are
diluted, GDS unions shall resort to nationwide agitational programmes again.
We congratulate the entire GDS who stood unitedly like a rock and
defeated all the anti-strike propaganda of the Postal Board and their Agents.
We salute the GDS for their courage, bravery and determination. This strike is
a history and it will be written in golden letters in the history of Postal
Trade Union movement and Indian working class movement. Not only all Central
Trade Unions but the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) also extended full
support and solidarity to this strike for emancipation of most down trodden
section called GDS.
This strike is significant because, it fought against the adamant
attitude of the Govt and Postal Board, rejecting their sweet-coated appeals and
also threat of “withdraw the strike, then only we will talk” and finally ended
in thumping victory and came out with flying colours. All credit goes to the
three lakhs GDS who fought heroically and unitedly, even though they are
scattered in 1,29,500 rural Branch post offices. This is the great victory of
the poor, oppressed, downtrodden and marginalized section of the society who
have nothing to loose but chains.
We convey our deep condolences to the families of brave GDS whose
shocking sudden deaths and suicide while on strike has shaked the conscience of
right thinking persons.
We convey our sincere thanks and gratitude to all Central Trade
Unions, WFTU, Political parties, Chief Ministers, people’s representatives in
Parliament and State Assemblies, distinguished personalities and all fraternal
organizations and their leaders who stood with GDS in the hours of crisis and
extended full support and solidarity to the striking GDS till the end of the
strike. We also convey our sincere thanks to the electronic and print media of
Delhi and all other states. We seek their continuous support and guidance in
our future struggles for achieving our prime demand i.e., grant of civil
servant status to GDS.
CONDUCT VICTORY RALLIES AND
DEMONSTRATIONS
All Circle / Divisional Secretaries are requested to organize
nationwide victory rallies, demonstrations and celebrations at all places on 7th &
8th June 2018.
Remember this is only one step forward and there are miles to go
before we achieve our final goal – “civil servant status to all GDS”.
Definitely our dreams shall become true one day. Keep the unity intact and
march forward. Final victory shall be ours.
With struggle greetings,
Yours sincerely
