Why NFPE ? – Special Appeal
to all the Staff members of SBCO, Odisha
Circle
Dear Comrades,
National
Federation of Postal Employees (NFPE) is a class-oriented militant organisation
of above five lakhs postal employees. NFPTE was formed on 24.11.1954
The P&T trade union movement in India has inherited a history of struggles
and sacrifices right from the days of British Raj. During 1905 when there
was no freedom to form unions, Babu Tarapada Mukherjee started this
organisation in the name of a Postal Club at Kolkata GPO. Tarapada was
dismissed from service by the British Government for delivering a speech
against the British Government in the year 1921 at Lahore All India
Conference. During the last more than one hundred years many leaders and
workers of this organisation has been tortured, arrested and put under jail
both by the British and Indian Governments. Com. Dada Ghosh, founder
Secretary General of NFPTE was arrested and placed under prolonged suspension.
Com.N.J.Iyer, former All India President of NFPE was arrested for delivering a
speech against “Emergency” in 1975 and imprisoned in Bikanir Jail for 18
months. Com.K.Adinarayana, Former Secretary General of NFPE was in jail
for three years for participating in the Telangara struggle against Nizam. Com.
K. G. Bose, who electrified the P&T Trade Union movement with his
class-oriented approach was dismissed from service. Many legendary leaders like
Coms. O. P. Gupta, Henry Barton, V. G. Dalvi, K. L. Moza, A. S. Rajan,
Piramanathan, N. C. Ambalavanan have lead this organization in the past.
25 days historic 1946 P&T strike is marked in the history of India’s
freedom movement as one of the most militant struggle launched by P&T
employees against the British Raj. 1960 five days strike of Central
Government Employees, 1968 September 19th one day strike for
Need Based Minimum wage in which 17 employees have been brutally murdered by
the Government by resorting to firing and lathicharge. 1974 Bonus Strike, 1984
September 19th Strike for the emancipation of three lakhs Extra-Departmental
employees, 1993 five day’s Postal Strike, 1996 eight days strike for bonus
ceiling removal, 1998 eight days Postal strike, 2000 fourteen days Postal
Strike were all lead by the National Federation of Postal Employees. The
one day strike by Confederation of Central Govt. Employees and Workers
conducted last year on 12-12-2012 is another milestone in the history of Postal
Trade Union movement.
NFPE has been participating in all the nationwide General strikes including the
2013 February 20,21 two days strike conducted by the Central Trade Unions,
right from 1991 onwards against the Neo-liberal imperialist globalization
policies pursued by the Central Government.
NFPE has conducted innumerable struggles for realization of the legitimate
demands of the Postal employees especially the most down-trodden section of
Gramin Dak Sevaks and Casual, Part-time, Contingent employees.
NFPE is an affiliate of the Confederation of Central Govt. employees and
Workers and is playing leading role in mobilizing the Central Government
employees and organizing struggles including nation wide strikes.
So Comrades, NFPE is NFPE. It is the
largest. It is the oldest. You can’t compare it with any other organization.
Let’s
join NFPE and strengthen it for our benefit.

AIPEU, Gr.-C, Bhubaneswar &
Vice-President, Odisha Circle
