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
