Dear comrades,

&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.

DEMANDS
1.
REVISION OF WAGES OF ALL CASUAL,PT CONTINGENT WORKERS ON PAR WITH
REGULAR EMPLOYEES AS PER THE REVISED WAGES OF 6TH CPC

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

Even though orders

date orders were not issued. Now it was kept as demand in the
