Unions and Federations, Strike notice was served by confederation to Cabinet
Secretary and the affiliated unions to the concerned Head of Departments on

still pending. We have to continue our struggle till these demands are accepted
by the Government. Confederation National leaders campaign programme is going

action. In addition to the common

workers of our country are unitedly fighting a historic battle against the
retrograde policies of the Government, the entire postal & RMS employees
including Gramin Dak Sevaks shall join this mass upsurge and make the 48 hours
strike cent per cent. Move to grant license to couriers, abolition of posts,
denial of the legitimate demands of the Gramin Dak Sevaks etc. are all due to the
neo-liberal policies of the Central Government and in order to change the
