PREPARE FOR INDEFENITE STRIKE
PREPARE FOR INDEFINITE POSTAL STRIKE FROM 2015 MAY 6TH.
Gramin
dak Sevaks do not want sepereate gds committee
Seperate committee (whether Judicial or
Bureaucratic) is a wAste and farce.
Ø 2.76 lakhsGDS do not want
a separate GDS Committee.
Ø 2.76 lakhs GDS want
inclusion of GDS in the 7th CPC.
Ø NFPE &
AIPEU-GDS(NFPE) demanding inclusion of GDS in 7th CPC.
Ø FNPO & NUGDS
demanding inclusion of GDS in 7th CPC.
Ø Confederation of Central
Govt. Employees & Workers demanding inclusion of GDS in 7th CPC.
Ø JCM National Council
(staff side) organisations including Railway & Defense Federations
demanding inclusion of GDS in 7th CPC.
But Recognised GDS Union of Shri.Mahadevaiah is
demanding Separte Committee for GDS
* Hon’ble Supreme Court stated that GDS are
Civil Servants and they are Central Govt. Employees.
* Justice Singhal, Chairman 4th PC stated
GDS are Civil Servants and they are Central Govt. Employees.
* Justice Charanjit Jalwar stated that GDS
are Civil Servants and they are Central Govt. Employees.
* Talwar Committee recommended to the Govt.
that GDS should be included in Pay Commission and no separate committee should
be appointed in future.
* Govt. appointed 7th Pay Commission for
Central Govt. Employees.
* NFPE & AIPEU-GDS (NFPE) says GDS are
part of Central Govt. Employees and they should be included in 7th CPC itself.
* Confederation of Central Govt. Employees
& Workers says that GDS are part of Central Govt. Employees and they should
be incuded in 7th CPC itself.
* JCM National Council (staff side)
orgisastions including Railway & Defence Federations says GDS are part of
Central Govt. Employees and they should be included in 7th CPC itself.
* But
recognised GDS union of Shri. Mahadevaiah accepted the Govt. stand that GDS are
not part of Central Govt. Employees and hence he is demanding seperate
committee for GDS. He don’t want GDS to
be included in 7th CPC. His main demand
in the charter of demandS is seperate committee for GDS .
* NFPE & AIPEU-GDS (NFPE) declared joint
indefinite strike under the banner of JCA from 2015 May 6th for inclusion of
GDS in 7th CPC.
* FNPO & NUGDS also declared joint
indefinite strike under the banner of JCA from 2015 May 6th for inclusion of
GDS in 7th CPC.
& Confederation, Railways & Defence
Federations organised joint National Convention of entire JCM staff side
orgnisations and decided to organise massive Parliament March in April 2015 to
declare indefinite strike of entire Central Govt. Employees. Inclusion of GDS in 7th CPC is included in
the charter of demands as number one demand.
Recognised
GDS union of Shri Mahadevaiah don’t want joint strike of GDS & regular
employees. He always declares fragmented
strike to torpedo the unity of GDS and regulr employees. He is desperately trying to retain his
control over GDS. He has written to the
Govt. not to allow NFPE & FNPO to discuss GDS issues. Govt. also wants to divide GDS and Regular
employees so that they can easily deny the legitimate demands of the GDS
including Civil Servant status and all benefits of regular employees.
Let
us
organise Joint indefinite Strike of five LAkhs GDS & Regular
employees
from 2015 May 6th under the banner of Postal Joint Council of Action
(NFPE,
FNPO, AIPEU-GDS (NFPE) & NUGDS) demanding inclusion of GDS in 7th
CPC & grant of all benefits of regular employees to GDS also.
Recognised
GDS union of Mahadevaiah is against filing case in Supreme Court for grant of Civil Servant status and all
benefits of regular employees to GDS.
NFPE & AIPEU-GDS (NFPE) has filed a Writ Petition in Supreme Court
and after the preliminary hearing Supreme Court transferred the case to Delhi
High Court. The next hearing of the case
in Delhi High Court is on 4th February, 2015.
But Shri. Mahadevaiah
had filed a case in the Karnataka High Court for his own benefit requesting to
grant Foreign Service benefits to him.
(Writ Petition No.24106/2005 (S.CAT).
When he has filed Writ Petition in High Court
for his own benefit it is perfectly alright, but when NFPE & AIPEU-GDS
(NFPE) filed case in Supreme Court for the benefit of 2.76 lakhs GDS he is ridiculing
it and opposing it.
