developments.
Dear
Comrades,
Hats off and militant salutations for the
heroic struggle Our members have fought which forced the administration to see
the reality. We just be failing in our duty if we do not extend our hearty
congratulations to those comrades belonging to other unions who actively
participated in the strike. We also extend our heartiest thanks to several
members of parliament who fought our case in the house while we were fighting
in the field. The media in the states also deserves our thanks for highlighting
our struggle prominently though we did not get that support of the media at
Delhi.
Comrades,
the occasion for a strike arise because the administration had done enough
spade work towards appointing an GDS committee under a retired bureaucrat. They
had to revert. Hence we have rightly hit before damage could be done to 2.60
Lakhs GDS employees by appointment of aNatraja Murthy like committee. The
administration played all tactics to thwart our struggle again. A reference to
the government to include our issues in the terms of reference of the 7th
pay commission was a calculated step to mislead the members and also other
agencies. We are really proud of our heroic comrades that they refused to fall
into the trap. Comrades the administration under took another tactics to
mislead our comrades at circle, divisional and branch formations where they
miserably failed. The misgivings of the administration that GDS employees
cannot wage a sustained fight has been proved entirely wrong by brave comrades.
We really are running short of words to thank the Comrades.
Comrades,
the assistant labour commissioner began conciliation proceedings and finally
the Chief Labour Commissioner (Central) had to step in. The CHQ was ably
represented by Comrade S.S.Mahadevaiah General Secretary, Com. B.V.Rao
Assistant General Secretary, Com. Lakhwinder Pal Sing Treasurer, Com. C.B.
Tiwari AGS and CS U.P., Com. R.P. Diwakar AGS, Com. Vijay Sharma CS Haryana.
The department tried to hoodwink us and failed again.
On
19-3-2015 following the deliberations, the Chief Labour Commissioner (C)
recorded the following minutes which is self explanatory.
They
(The Administration) also submitted that they have already referred the matter
to the department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance to consider their issue
for inclusion the terms and reference to the 7th CPC. In case the
government does not include GDS wage structure and service conditions in terms
and reference of the 7th CPC, The Department of Posts will examine
the issue of constitution of the committee and consider the suggestions of the
union in this regard.
The
CLC then requested us to call off the strike and also requested the Department
to initiate negotiations on other issues.
We
accordingly called off the strike honouring the request of the CLC (C) and
believing the offer of the Department on 20-3-2015. The full minutes of the
minutes of the meeting with the CLC (C) signed by the CLC (C), the
administration and the union is put on our website.
