Dear Comrades,
The meeting of the Central JCA held on 03.12.2011 at New Delhi, have reviewed the post-5thJuly deferred strike settlement situation and have to come unanimous conclusion that Postal Board has failed to implement the assurances given by the Secretary [Posts] on agreed demands, even after a lapse of four months. Further it is going ahead with the unilateral implementation of the Mail Network Optimization Project [MNOP] in spite of vehement opposition of the Staff Side.
JCM Departmental Council meeting is indefinitely delayed.
Cadre-restructuring Committee has not yet finalized its final proposals. Issues
relating to Postmen, Mail guard and MTs are still in the negotiating stage and
no settlement in sight. Demands of the Circle / Regional Offices administrative
staff, Postal Accounts, SBCO and Civil Wing employees are not given serious
consideration. In short, abnormal delay is taking place in settlement of the
genuine demands raised in the Charter of Demands.

Dear Comrades,
The meeting of the Central JCA held on 03.12.2011 at New Delhi, have reviewed the post-5thJuly deferred strike settlement situation and have to come unanimous conclusion that Postal Board has failed to implement the assurances given by the Secretary [Posts] on agreed demands, even after a lapse of four months. Further it is going ahead with the unilateral implementation of the Mail Network Optimization Project [MNOP] in spite of vehement opposition of the Staff Side.
During the discussion with the Secretary [Posts] on 5th
July deferred strike demands, it was assured that there will be no
closure/merger of Post Offices, other than simultaneous relocation. But orders
in this regard are yet to be communicated to the Heads of the Circle. Orders on
Sorting Postman need further modification. On GDS issues no favourable orders
are issued on any of the items till this date. Payment of Pro-rata wages and
absorption of Casual labourers and Part Time contingent employees still remains
unsettled, even though it was assured that orders on payment of pro-rata wages
to pre-1993 appointees will be issued within a month.
On contrary, even when most of the burning issues of the
employees are totally neglected or remains unsettled, the Postal Board is going
ahead with implementation of the retrograde recommendations of the McKinsey on
Mail Network Optimization Project [MNOP]. In the Committee constituted under
the Chairmanship of Member [Operations] for reviewing the issues arising out of
the implementation of speed post Hubs and proposed L1, L2 in first class mails,
the Staff Side representatives have vehemently opposed the implementation of
L1, L2 in first class mails as it will adversely the efficiency of the services
resulting in abnormal delay thereby leading to erosion of public faith on the
postal services. Further it will also result in large-scale dislocation /
transfer of employees and will adversely affect their promotional prospects. In
spite of our objection and disagreement, the Postal Board has made it clear
that they are going ahead with the implementation of the MNOP Project.
In the above circumstances, the Staff Side is left with
no alternative,, but to revive the postponed strike decision and resort to the
agitational path once again. The Central JCA after in depth analysis of the
entire situation, have decided to go on indefinite strike from 3rdJanuary,
2012. It was also decided to serve the strike notice on 15.12.2011 and to conduct
mass demonstrations / dharnas in front of all Chief PMG / PMG Offices and
Divisional Offices on that day. As a second phase of the agitation, the
Secretary Generals of NFPE and FNPO and the General Secretaries and CHQ Office
Bearers of Federations /All India Unions / Associations of the JCA shall sit on
hunger fast in front of Dak Bhawan on 26.12.2011.
The Central JCA calls upon the entirety of the Postal and
RMS employees to make all the above agitational programmes in the true spirit
and make the indefinite strike from 3rdJanuary, 2012 a grand
success.
If the Postal Board is not ready to come for a
result-oriented and time-bound negotiated settlement, the entire Postal and RMS
Service should be paralyzed from 03.01.2012.
It is again a struggle for our survival.
It is a struggle of life and death to lakhs of Postal
Workers.
Let the Postal,, RMS, Administrative, Postal Accounts,
GDS, SBCO and Civil Wing employees come together to stage another glorious
indefinite strike.
Fraternally Yours,
