Dear Comrades,
FLASH NEWS
Departmentalisation
of Gramin Dak Sevaks (GDS) and inclusion
of GDS under 7TH Central Pay Commission.
First Hearing of the court case on 7th May 2014
First Hearing of the court case on 7th May 2014
Hon’ble Delhi High Court issued notice to the Government
and Department of Posts.
As
already reported the Hon’ble Delhi High Court has issued notice to Government
and Department of Posts in the Writ Petition filed by NFPE & AIPEU-GDS
(NFPE) in the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India which stands transferred to Delhi
High Court for grant of Civil Servant status and inclusion of GDS in 7th
Central Pay Commission. Next hearing of
the case is posted for 7th May, 2014. In
the Writ Petition filed by NFPE & AIPEU-GDS (NFPE) following are the main
prayers:
(1) Give direction to the Government of India and Department of
Posts to grant Civil Servant Status to GDS as per the 1977 Supreme Court
Judgement and grant all the benefits of the Departmental Employees.
(2) Include GDS under the purview of 7th CPC.
(3) Quash the GDS conduct & Engagement Rules 2011.
Government
of India, Department of Posts shall have to file its reply in the High
Court. Now the files have started moving
in the Directorate and DOP&T.
Recognised GDS Union (Mahadevaiah) has no role to play:
Recognised
GDS Union (Mahadevaiah) has already signed an agreement with the Department of
Posts accepting separate committee for GDS and accordingly Government has excluded GDS from the purview of the terms of
reference of the 7th Central Pay Commission.
NFPE & AIPEU-GDS (NFPE) is fighting both organisationally and
legally for Departmentalisation and for inclusion of GDS under 7th CPC.
Shri.
Mahadevaiah wrote in his journal (April 2014 Issue) and website supporting
separate committee for GDS and claimed that separate committee is better than
7th Pay Commission. In his journal and
website he wrote as follows:
- “One man GDS committee more independent than
a judge heading a pay commission with other members” (!!!!). Thus Shri. Mahadevaiah has fully justified
separate committee for GDS and he claimed that he has signed a “respectable
agreement” by accepting separate one-man committee!!
Let
Shri.Mahadevaiah and his Recognised GDS Union support the Government and Department
of Posts, by cheating three lakhs GDS by signing their “ death
warrant ” in the name of “ respectable agreement”. NFPE & AIPEU-GDS (NFPE) will not
compromise with the Government and shall continue its struggle both legally and
organizationally.
Shri Mahadevaiah Don’t Want the Support Of
Departmental
Employees
Shri.Mahadevaiah,
General Secretary of the recognised GDS Union has requested the Department of
Posts NOT TO ALLOW other Federations and Unions
to take up the issues relating to the Gramin Dak Sevaks. As Shri. Mahadevadevaiah has helped the
Government and Department by accepting separate committee for GDS, the
Department accepted the request of Shri. Mahadevaiah and issued orders. It shows that Shri Magadevaiah don’t want the
support of Departmental employees who are members of NFPE & FNPO. NFPE & / AIPEU-GDS (NFPE) believes that
the GDS demands can be achieved only with the full support and joint struggle
of both GDS & of the Departmental employees.
This
is the difference between the recognised GDS Union (Mahadevaiah) and AIPEU-GDS
(NFPE). LET THE GDS
employees decide which union stands for the cause of GDS.
All GDS& Departmental Employes BE ready to finish the recognised GDS union in
the next Membership Verification
Recognition is not a licence to cheat
the GDS employees. Recognised GDS Union
has signed an agreement with the Department accepting separate committee and
thus admitting that GDS are not civil servants.
Thus recognized GDS Union’s role is over and it has no role to play
hereafter. NFPE & AIPEU-GDS (NFPE)
is challenging in the Delhi High Court the stand taken by the Department of
Posts and the Recognised GDS Union (Mahadevaiah).
NFPE
& AIPEU-GDS (NFPE) calls upon all GDS Departmental Employees be ready to
finish the “Recognised GDS Union” in the next membership verification. We are sure that AIPEU-GDS
(NFPE) shall become the number One recognised GDS union in the next membership
verification with flying colours. Days are not far away.
