Dear
Friends and Comrades,
Meeting
of the Postal Joint Council of Action was held on 11.11.2014 at New Delhi. Shri
D. Theagarajan, Secretary General, FNPO presided. Com. R. N. Parashar,
Secretary General, NFPE presented agenda items for discussion. General
Secretaries of affiliated Unions/Associations of NFPE & FNPO attended. Com.
M. Krishnan, Ex-Secretary General of NFPE was also present in the meeting. PJCA
reviewed the progress in settlement of 39 points charter of demands submitted
to Secretary, Department of Posts on 28.08.2014. PJCA came to the unanimous
conclusion that not even a single issue is settled by the Government and
Department. Employees are suffering but authorities are turning a deaf year
towards their genuine demands. Rome is burning but Neros are fiddling.
None
of our demand is unjustified. Five lakhs Postal and RMS employees including
Gramin Dak Sewaks and Casual, Part-time, contingent employees cannot remain as
mute spectators. There is a limit for our patience. Government and Postal Board
are treating our patience as our weakness.
Taking
into consideration all the above aspects, the PJCA unanimously took the
following decision.
1. Entire five lakhs employees of the Department of Posts
will go on indefinite strike from the third week of February 2015, if the
demands are not settled before 31.12.2014.
2. The date of the indefinite strike will be declared in
the 4th December 2014
Parliament March.
3. Every effort should be made by all All
India/Circle/Divisional Unions to ensure maximum participation of employees in
the Parliament March. Minimum 20000 employees should participate in the March.
All should bring flags and banners.
4. Laaders of INTUC, CITU, AITUC & JCM National
Council staff side will be invited to address the Parliament March.
5. Next PJCA meeting will be held on 03.12.2014 at 5 PM to
decide the date of indefinite strike.
Let us march ahead with
Determination and courage. This is time to show your sincerity towards the
cause of five lakhs employees of the Department of Posts. Let us make the
parliament March a Historic success. Let us unite together and make the
indefinite strike a Thundering success. Let the Government and Postal Board
understand that we are not Dumb-Driven cattle. We are workers and not beggars.
AWAKE! ARISE!! UNITE!!
Come in the Thousands to the Parliament March
Let us declare the indefinite strike in the presence
of 20000 Postal Employees on 4th December
2014
Yours sincerely,
R. N.

Madam,
Sub: - Reply to Charter of
Demands Submitted by Postal Joint Council of Action (PJCA) on 28.08.2014.
Ref:
- Your office letter F. No. 9-10/1997-SP (SR Section) dated
29.10.2014.
Please
refer to your office letter cited above wherein Action taken Report on the
items included in the Charter of demands submitted by PJCA on 28.08.2014 is
furnished. Actually the Charter of Demands submitted by us on 28.08.2014
contains 39 items. Charter of Demands attached to our earlier letter dated
01.08.2014 intimating the decision of PJCA contained only 38 items. But when
memorandum is submitted on 28.08.2014 the following item was also added as item
no. 39.
Item No. 39 - Revise Postmen/Mail
Guard/MTS Recruitment Rules. Stop open market recruitment. Restore seniority
quota promotion.
This
item was earlier discussed in the JCM (DC) and it is assured by Secretary
(Posts) that the Recruitment Rules will be reviewed after one or two
Recruitment/Promotional exam are over, as DOP&T may not approve immediate
revision of Recruitment Rules already approved by it. Now more than two
Postmen/MG/MTS recruitment/examination is over and hence it is requested to
take action to revise the Recruitment Rules and stop open quota recruitment.
Entire vacancies may be earmarked for GDS and Casual Labourers as existed in
the pre-revised Recruitment Rules.
You
are requested to include the above mentioned item also in the charter of
demands and “Action Taken Report” may be furnished on the above item also.
Yours faithfully,
R. N.

Programme of agitation by Postal Joint Council of Action (PJCA)
Ref:
- (1) Charter of Demands submitted by PJCA on 28.08.2014
(2) Your office letter No. f. No. 8-10/1997-SR (SR Section Dated
29.10.2014
Meeting of
the Postal Joint Council of Action held on 11.11.2014 reviewed the reply given
by the Department to the Charter of demands submitted by PJCA on 28.08.2014 and
also the progress made in settling the demands.
The PJCA
meeting came to the unanimous conclusion that not even a single demand is
settled and no positive approach in settling the demands is reflected in the
action taken report. The PJCA is totally disappointed to read the reply.
Discontentment among employees are growing day by day. Further it is noted that
as many as 58 items submitted for discussion in the JCM (Departmental Council)
was disallowed even without giving an opportunity to the staff side to explain
the position on each case.
In view of
the above position the Postal Joint Council of action unanimously decided to
further intensify the agitational programmes. Accordingly the following
decisions are taken.
1. Entire five lakhs employees of the Department of Posts
shall go on indefinite strike commencing from the third week of February 2015.
2. Date of commencement of the indefinite strike will be
declared in a massive Parliament March to be held on 4th December 2014. 20000 Postal and RMS
employees including Gramin Dak Sewaks and Casual, Part-Time, Contingent
employees will participate in the Parliament March, which will be addressed by
the leaders of PJCA and leaders of Central Trade Unions and JCM National
Council Staff side.
This is for your information and
necessary action.
