Dear comrades,

We express our sincere thanks to POSTAL JCA for their efforts to settle our demands. POSTAL JCA consisting of NFPE,FNPO &GDS UNIONS highlighted our demands and included them in the charter of demands of indefinite strike notice submitted to DG POST on 15-12-2011 which is going to be conducted from 17-01-2012.  

OUR MAIN DEMANDS INCLUDED IN THE CHARTER OF DEMANDS

1.      REVISION OF WAGES OF ALL CASUAL,PT CONTINGENT WORKERS ON PAR WITH REGULAR EMPLOYEES AS PER THE REVISED WAGES OF 6^TH CPC  AND PAYMENT OF ARREARS FROM 1-1-2006.

While discussions with DG POST during last strike notice it was assured that orders will be issued for revised wages and drawl of arrears to pre 1993 workers with a month and for arrears to others it will be favorably sent to finance for approval. But the same was not implemented.

2.      REGULARISATION OF CONTINGENT WORKERS BY CONVERTING ALL PTP POSTS AS GDS AND UPGRADING THE PRESENT INCUMBANTS AS GDS AGAINST THOSE POSTS ON ONE TIME MEASURE.

After the discussions in our first convention it was decided to place this proposal before the committee appointed by the department on the issues of casual labor and the same was submitted to the CHARMAN of the committee by our federation. Now this was placed as demand in the strike charter by JCA .
