The Central Working Committee
notes with pride that our membership have responded better than the past in
joining the nationwide strike of Indian Working Class on 28th
February, 2012 against the liberalization policies of the Government that
attack the interests of the entire working people in general and the CG
Employees in particular. The CWC notes with happiness that for the first time
in the history of our country, all the Central Trade Unions including that of
the INTUC and BMS have come together on a single platform with the Left Trade
Union Centres and Confederation and Federations and independent Unions of
Public Sector, Central Government, State Government and Teachers Organisations
to resist the attacks of the liberalisation guided policies of the Government.
The CWC also notes with satisfaction that the united platform of all Central
Trade Union Centres and other Organisations is the befitting answer to the
forces of globalisation which are on the attacking spree against the working
people. The CWC is happier to note that the Central Trade Unions have decided
to carry forward their new found unity in future for strengthening the anti-liberalisation
struggle and to defend the working class against the designs of the Government.
The united platform of all Central Trade Unions have come to the conclusion to
launch more serious struggles and strikes in future and in this background this
CWC unanimously resolves to play our role in strengthening of such struggles in
accordance with the decisions of Confederation and NFPE that is guided by the
historic resolution of Dharwar Federal Council. The CWC also calls upon the
entirety of our organisational leadership to self critically analyse our
failures in organising the strike on 28th February as well analyse
the existing organisational weaknesses, to overcome all those hurdles for more
effective and successful strikes in the future.
The Central Working Committee
considers the call of the Confederation of CG Employees & Workers for a
massive March to Parliament on 26th July, 2012 to focus attention on
a 14 Point Common Charter of Demands of CG Employees including constitution of
7th CPC to revision of our wages once in five years on par with Public Sector and Merger of
50% DA with Basic Pay etc and to organise a nationwide Central Government
Employees one-day strike during November – December, 2012 and unanimously
resolves to welcome the struggle decision of Confederation. The CWC resolves
that unless the Confederation’s independent Programme of Action is successfully
launched, conditions for a larger platform of unity to struggle under the
banner of the Steering Committee of JCM National Council Organisations would
not come about quickly for formation of 7th Pay Commission etc. The
CWC acknowledges the approach of the Confederation that unless we succeed in
getting the next Pay Commission constituted immediately to revise our wage
structure; the plethora of anomalies caused by the implementation of 6th
CPC and through the MACP Scheme could not be sorted out. The 6th CPC
has inflicted more injustices on us by distorting the formula of Dr.Aykroid on
need based minimum wages and recommending a depressed wages in the guise of NBM
Wages as well as computing a Pay Band Structure to deny attractive rise in
wages of different cadres on promotion and to keep them suppressed with a
retrograde Grade Pay system. Taking into account that it has been the Confederation
since its inception in 1956 that initiates first action programme on common
issues to be followed by the entirety of CG Employees trade unions, this CWC
lauds the timely decisions of the National Council and the national executive
of Confederation for embarking upon the Programme of Action including one-day
Strike. This CWC therefore unanimously resolves to call upon the entire
leadership of P3 Organisation at all levels to fully involve ourselves in
converting the Programme of Action a tremendous success and enhance the pride
of the NFPE to establish its credentials as the vanguard of the Confederation.
The CWC notes that along with the
‘March to Parliament’ by Confederation, the NFPE has convened on ‘All India
Convention’ in New Delhi on the A/N of 26th July, 2012 and the
AIPEU-GDS (NFPE) in organizing a ‘Dharna before Parliament’ on 27.07.2012,
exclusively on ‘GDS Charter of Demands. This CWC resolves to mobilize our
members in a massive way to all these programmes in a befitting manner. This CWC
feels it has a bounden duty towards the cause of 3 lakhs of GDS and thousands
of casual, part-time, contingent employees. In this background this CWC
resolves to turn every stone is achieving the basic issues of down-trodden
sections by departmentalizing them and to reach that end a stronger band
between the regular employees and GDS is a must. Therefore this CWC having
regard to all developments taken place, resolves to strengthen the newly formed
AIPEU GDS (NFPE) and extend total help, assistance and guidance of P3
organisation in forming branches, division and circle unions of AIPEU-GDS
(NFPE) to which the NFPE has granted Associate Membership through its
Secretariat decision.
The CWC notes with happiness that
we have played our due role in the Postal JCA struggles as per our decisions of
NFPE in the recent past and registered impressive gains from the Postal Board.
The CWC notes that the serious attacks on the agenda of the Department like
abolition of thousands of Post Offices and liquidate RMS etc were halted by the
efforts of the NFPE and Postal JCA. However it is the constant vigil and a
state of combat readiness of the entire Postal Employees only can insulate us
against the dangers emanating from the policies of the Government. The CWC also
notes with concern that all the assurances of the Postal Board and the MOSC
have not been translated into reality and we had to resort to struggle again
and again to ensure progress. Even the issues of GDS and the Casual labourers
are not being resolved as assured by the Administration. The CWC therefore
resolves to be in a state of readiness for any action decided upon by the NFPE
or Postal JCA at the appropriate time and play our due role in consolidating
the unity of Postal Employees in future also.
The CWC considers the question of
organisational functioning of our CHQ and notes with pride that the character
of the whole CHQ has undergone tremendous improvement since the contributions
of the outgoing General Secretary Comrade KVS, whose team has performed a series
of activities in organising the all India Trade Union Camps, releasing various
Books and yearly Hand Books, improving the form and content of Bhartiya Post,
maintaining a quality website for the CHQ, intensive and extensive all India
organisational tour by the Office bearers in general and the General Secretary
in particular as well as streamlining the head quarter functioning etc. The CWC
notes that the close cooperation between the Federation and our Union in
addressing the issues has heightened the prestige of our Organisation amongst
the entirety of Postal Workers. The CWC records its best appreciations to the
contribution of outgoing General Secretary and resolves to carry forward this
trend for further strengthening of our organisation.
