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,

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.

Madam,
Sub: - 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.
Yours
faithfully,
