Sub:- Postal JCA decides to conduct 2 days strike on 8th and 9th January, 2019.
Dear Comrades,
This is to intimate that in the resolution adopted in the National Convention of Confederation held in Hyderabad on 10th June, 2018 and also in the National Secretariat meeting held thereafter, Confederation had decided that the proposed one day nationwide strike of the Confederation on 15th November, 2018 will be changed, if the Central Trade Unions declare nationwide strike, so that the dates of both strikes will be synchronized to make it a joint strike.
As you are aware, the National Convention of Workers held at Mavlankar Hall, New Delhi on 28th September 2018 with participation of all the Central Trade Unions (except BMS) and all other independent Federations have declared two days nationwide strike on 8th & 9th January 2019 against the anti-people and anti-labour policies of the NDA Government.
Accordingly, the National Secretariat of Confederation has decided to postpone the 15th November 2018 strike to 8th & 9th January, 2019. The strike will be for two days. There is no change in the Confederation charter of demands.
In the meantime, the State Level Convention of the Central Trade Unions has been conducted on 4th November, 2018 in Bhanja Kala Mandap, Bhubaneswar which endorsed the above decision of the National Convention with resounding decision to make the 2 days strike successful in Odisha. On behalf of the Confederation and National Federation of Postal Employees, Odisha State CoC, this Circle Secretary had attended and addressed the said State Level Convention endorsing the decision of the Confederation.
Now, Postal J.C.A consisting of NFPE, FNPO, AIPEU GDS and NUGDS in a meeting dated 15.11.2018 in New Delhi decided to conduct the 2 days nationwide strike on 8th and 9thJanuary, 2018.

While there will be no change in Confederation’s 10 point charter of demands (reproduced below for reference), the Postal JCA will join the strike with its 19 point sectional demands.
