MEMORANDUM

Respected Sir,

All India Gramin Dak Sevaks Union on behalf of two lakh sixty thousand Gramin Dak Sevaks in the Department of Posts most respectfully submit the memorandum on pressing and urgent problems of Gramin Dak Sevaks, working in the nook and corner of the country to extend valuable services to the rural people by implementing the various schemes such as MGNREGS, SSPO, PLI, RPLI etc. introduced by the Govt. of India efficiently and honestly for the welfare of ordinary people.

The Gramin Dak Sevaks the main source to the Department of Posts to generate revenue through small saving scheme and Rural Postal Life Insurance.

Unfortunately these low paid employees are being neglected after independence to grant minimum wages and facilities. They are denied to grant minimum pension at par with the pension granted to the people in old age by state Government. After rendering forty years service to the department of posts, they have to spend miserable life after retirement as the Department of posts denied to grant Pension to Gramin Dak Sevaks.

The Govt. of India appointed 7^th Central Pay Commission to examine the wages and service conditions of the Departmental employees. But the Department of posts denied to appoint judiciary committee to examine the wage structure and service conditions of Gramin Dak Sevaks though there was an agreement made between this union and Member (P) of the Department of Posts.

Hence this union is humbly requesting the kind intervention of hon’ble Prime Minister and cause suitable and necessary instructions to the Department of posts for the appointment of judiciary committee.

This union is herewith submitting the signatures of the GDS employees of 500 districts from 28 states praying the intervention of Hon’ble Prime Minister.

With regards,

Yours faithfully,

(S.S. Mahadevaiah)

All Circles/Divisional/ Branch Secretaries of All India Gramin Dak Sevaks Union, All India Office Bearers….

AIGDSU DHARNA REMAINS MILE STONE AND LANDMARK IN GDS TRADE UNION MOVEMENT.

NEVER BEFORE IN THE HISTORY OF POSTAL TRADE UNION MOVEMENT SUCH A LARGE NUMBER OF ARRESTS WERE MADE.

Dear Comrades,

CHQ congratulates office bearers, circle secretaries, Divisional, Branch Secretaries and well wishers of GDS for making unprecedented and thundering success of 19.12.2014 Dharna.

You will be pleased to know that nearly three thousand Gramin Dak Sevaks from different parts of the country assembled in Dak Bhavan early morning at 8:00 A.M. on 19.12.2014 to stage dharna to protest against Department of Posts unwillingness to implement the written agreement between Department of Posts and All India Gramin Dak Sevaks Union dated 21.2.2014 to the effect that a Pay Committee headed by a judge of Supreme Court/High Court will be appointed to determine the pay structure & service conditions of the Gramin Dak Sevaks. This has not been implemented till date. We were therefore compelled to launch Massive Dharna. The Government instead of allowing GDS to stage a peaceful dharna, arrested them and detained them till late evening.

Three thousand GDS employees continued Dharna while in custody with slogans up to 5:00 P.M. in the police station. AIGDSU congratulates thousands of Gramin Dak Sevaks who willingly courted arrest for their sacrifice and heroic act. This act glorified AIGDSU as the real fighter for the cause of Gramin Dak Sevaks. Com. S.S. Mahadevaiah, General Secretary and Com. Rajangam, President met senior officers of the Prime Minister office and submitted the memorandum. Com. S.S. Mahadevaiah explained the happenings in detail. Com. S.S. Mahadevaiah, General Secretary and Com. B.V. Rao, Asst. General Secretary negotiated with SP in the evening. All the three thousand GDS employees released unconditionally late in the evening.

We have fought a glorious struggle. We shall continue our struggle till our demands are met. AIGDSU acknowledges with gratitude the support & solidarity we got from AITUC and the Hon’ble Member of Parliament Sri. Dilipji Gandhi.
