CITU Congratulates the Gramin Dak Sevaks for the magnificent united all India strike
Demands the Government immediately implement the pro employee recommendations of Kamalesh Chandra Committee Report
Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) congratulates the nearly three lakh Gramin Dak Sevaks (GDS) of the Postal Department for the magnificent united all India Strike. All the four GDS Unions (AIPEU-GDS, AIGDSU, NUGDS & BPEDU) are on an indefinite strike from 22 May 2018. All the postal employees’ unions have supported the strike. As per reports the strike is total and 1,29,500 Branch Post Offices remained closed.
More than 60% of the employees of the Postal Department are GDS and more than 80% of the Post Offices are GDS Branch Post Offices. Major revenue of the department comes from GDS. They are not treated as Postal employees and were paid a pittance. The Gramin Dak Sevaks have a great legacy of struggles and whatever facilities they are enjoying at present is the result of their bitter struggles along with the postal employees.
This strike was forced by the NDA government which not only denied to address the long pending demands of the Gramin Dak Sevaks for regularisation as government employees, but refused to implement the recommendations of Kamalesh Chandra Committee Report on the service conditions of the GDS. The Committee which was appointed by the government to look into the service conditions of the Gramin Dak Sevaks had submitted its report as early in November 2016. The Union Minister had promised to implement the pro-employee recommendations of the report. Even after eighteen months the orders are still awaited. The GDS and their unions were forced to go on an indefinite strike after the government had failed to meet even the latest deadline of April 2018, it had promised.
CITU expresses solidarity with the striking employees and demands that the NDA government must immediately settle the issue by agreeing to the just demands of these grass root level workers who deliver valuable service to the common people.

In five states (Kerala, Tamilnadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and West Bengal) departmental employees also organised solidarity strike eventhough in four states (Tamilnadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and West Bengal) they have withdrawn the solidarity strike on the fourth day due to compelling reason. In Kerala departmental employees of NFPE and FNPO are continuing their strike. In all states including those states where the departmental employees have withdrawn the solidarity strike, 100% GDS employees are continuing their strike.

2. IBA team consisting of Shri.S.K.Kakker, Senior Advisor and Shri.Atul Gautam, stationed at Delhi participated in the meeting. Government of India representative Shri.S.R.Meher, Dy.Secretary, DFS attended the meeting. CLC and Additional CLC conducted the proceedings. Nine constituents representatives have too participated.
3. While the proceedings were on right track based on the facts and figures on record, IBA’s non committal approach forced us to take forward strike of 48 hours. Linking the present conditions of the Bad loans in banks with the wage talks, is unacceptable besides the unconvincing stand on fractured mandate given by six banks forced to escalate the situation.

28-05-2018/New Delhi
TO ALL CONSITITUENT UNIONS
Dear Comrades,
OUR CALL FOR STRIKE – CONCILIATION MEETINGS
“In response to our strike notice, Chief Labour Commissioner (Central), Ministry of Labour, Government of India had convened a conciliation meeting today in his office. UFBU representatives attended the meeting. Representatives of IBA and Ministry of Finance also attended. From our side we informed the CLC that the strike has been forced on the UFBU since IBA, after a delay of one year, had made a paltry offer of 2% hike and also did not agree to cover all officers upto Scale VII in the wage revision. We also pointed out that bad loans and consequent losses of Banks cannot be linked to wage revision as all Banks are earning Operating profits. CLC wanted IBA to reconsider their stand.
IBA did not come out with any positive offer in respect of our demands and hence it has been decided to go ahead with the strike on 30th and 31st May, 2018.
Comrades, Go ahead and make the strike a thunderous success.
