TODAY'S DISCUSSION FAILED. GO AHEAD WITH FULL PREPARATIONS

FLASH NEWS

Dear Comrades,

We all were egerly awaiting response of the department to the leaders of Central JCA during discussion on 27th July, 2011 on Charter of Demands.

we are very sorry to inform that the Department is adamant on implementation of Mckensy recommendations.

TODAY'S DISCUSSIONS HAVE FAILED.

GO AHEAD WITH FULL PREPARATIONS

FOR STRIKE FROM 5TH JULY.

OPTIMIZATION OR LIQUIDATION?

OPTIMIZATION OR LIQUIDATION?
The Mail Network Optimization Project (MNOP) has become Mail Network Liquidation Project (MNLP). Implementation of the "Speed Post hub" experiment has resulted in reducing 315 National Speed Post Centres to 89 speed post hubs
. Introduction of the "First Class Mail hubs" will result in gradual extinction of 366 RMS Mail Sorting Offices. Delivery hubs will further result in withdrawal of delivery from hundreds of Urban Post Offices. The proposed closure
or merger of 9797 urban Post offices will sound the death-knell of Post services. Is it optimization or liquidation?
Department of Posts is paying Consultancy fees to Mckinsey and Mckinsey is not paying any money to the INDIA POST. But the Mckinsey is behaving as if they have purchased the INDIA POST and are the real owner of it. They are passing orders to the employees above the head of departmental officers. Even Heads of Circles are bound to obey Mckinsey. Voice of the right-thinking employees and officers are suppressed and only those support Mckinsey are allowed to run the show.
Creation of hubs has resulted in abnormal delay in conveyance and delivery of speed post articles and everywhere back-routing is taking place. Even articles meant for local delivery are unnecessarily despatched to the hubs situated hundreds of miles away and from there again back-routed to the delivery Post offices causing avoidable delay. Speed post has lost its speed and the faith of public in this premium services has been shaken. Number of articles and revenue has come down. Still the authorities blindly go on repeating that it is a great success. It is just like "operation is successful, but the patient died". The introduction of the first class mails hubs and delivery hubs will be the "beginning of the demise of the Postal Services in India".

SUCCESSFUL CIRCLE COUNCIL OF GDS EMPLOYEES IN GUJARAT CIRCLE

Circle Council Meeting of All India Postal ED Employees Union was held at Palitana on 26th July, 2011. All Divisional Secretaries from all over Gujarat and all Circle Office Bearers attended the meeting which was presided over by Com. Bhagirathsinhji Jadeja Circle President and Vice President (CHQ). Com. S.K.Vaishnav Asst C/S P.III conducted all over arrangements of the meeting. Circle Secretary fell sick after long journey from Chennai but on emotional call by Com. Ashaben Joshi C/S AIPEDE Union, he attended the meeting and addressed the house describing present situation in which Strike action has become absolute necessity. It was explained before all delegates that the department will not remain as a "Government Service" if we will not register our strong protest against implementation of proposals of Mckensi.

It was also agreed by every one present that we all must put aside all grievences and disputes at local and every levels. In a family there may be disputes between family members but if some one comes and put fire on their house, each and every member would forget their disputes and join seriously togather to save the house from fire. In the same way, Privatisation, Contractorisation and Cut in Postal Network would end out department itself as 'Govt. Service' and we must save out department and therefore NFPE, FNPO and GDS Unions have joined their hand to embark upon indefinate strike from 5.7.11 if the department does not consider out justified demands in the next meetings.

All Divisional Secretaries expressed their firm determination to make the strike action a grand success in their divisions.
