MAKE THE INDEFINITE
STRIKE A GRAND SUCCESS
Dear Comrades,
The meeting
of the Central JCA held on 03.12.2011 at New Delhi, have reviewed the post-5thJuly
deferred strike settlement situation and have to come unanimous conclusion that
Postal Board has failed to implement the assurances given by the
Secretary [Posts] on agreed demands, even after a lapse of four months. Further
it is going ahead with the unilateral implementation of the Mail Network
Optimization Project [MNOP] in spite of vehement opposition of the Staff Side.
During the
discussion with the Secretary [Posts] on 5th July deferred
strike demands, it was assured that there will be no closure/merger of Post
Offices, other than simultaneous relocation. But orders in this regard are yet
to be communicated to the Heads of the Circle. Orders on Sorting Postman need
further modification. On GDS issues no favourable orders are issued on any of
the items till this date. Payment of Pro-rata wages and absorption of Casual
labourers and Part Time contingent employees still remains unsettled, even
though it was assured that orders on payment of pro-rata wages to pre-1993
appointees will be issued within a month.
JCM
Departmental Council meeting is indefinitely delayed. Cadre-restructuring
Committee has not yet finalized its final proposals. Issues relating to
Postmen, Mail guard and MTs are still in the negotiating stage and no
settlement in sight. Demands of the Circle / Regional Offices administrative
staff, Postal Accounts, SBCO and Civil Wing employees are not given serious
consideration. In short, abnormal delay is taking place in settlement of the
genuine demands raised in the Charter of Demands.
On
contrary, even when most of the burning issues of the employees are totally
neglected or remains unsettled, the Postal Board is going ahead with
implementation of the retrograde recommendations of the McKinsey on Mail
Network Optimization Project [MNOP]. In the Committee constituted under the
Chairmanship of Member [Operations] for reviewing the issues arising out of the
implementation of speed post Hubs and proposed L1, L2 in first class mails, the
Staff Side representatives have vehemently opposed the implementation of L1, L2
in first class mails as it will adversely the efficiency of the services
resulting in abnormal delay thereby leading to erosion of public faith on the
postal services. Further it will also result in large-scale dislocation /
transfer of employees and will adversely affect their promotional prospects. In
spite of our objection and disagreement, the Postal Board has made it clear
that they are going ahead with the implementation of the MNOP Project.
In the
above circumstances, the Staff Side is left with no alternative,, but to revive
the postponed strike decision and resort to the agitational path once again.
The Central JCA after in depth analysis of the entire situation, have decided
to go on indefinite strike from 3rdJanuary, 2012. It was also
decided to serve the strike notice on 15.12.2011 and to conduct mass
demonstrations / dharnas in front of all Chief PMG / PMG Offices and Divisional
Offices on that day. As a second phase of the agitation, the Secretary Generals
of NFPE and FNPO and the General Secretaries and CHQ Office Bearers of
Federations /All India Unions / Associations of the JCA shall sit on hunger
fast in front of Dak Bhawan on 26.12.2011.
The Central
JCA calls upon the entirety of the Postal and RMS employees to make all the
above agitational programmes in the true spirit and make the indefinite strike
from 3rdJanuary, 2012 a grand success.
If the
Postal Board is not ready to come for a result-oriented and time-bound
negotiated settlement, the entire Postal and RMS Service should be
paralyzed from 03.01.2012.
It is again
a struggle for our survival.
It is a
struggle of life and death to lakhs of Postal Workers.
Let the
Postal,, RMS, Administrative, Postal Accounts, GDS, SBCO and Civil Wing employees
come together to stage another glorious indefinite strike.
Fraternally Yours,
Secretary General Secretary

NFPE FNPO

All General Secretaries of NFPE and
