CIVIL STATUS TO GDS Editorial POSTAL LIFE (P4 CHQ)

A reply to a question in LOK SABHA on 14th July 2014, the Hon’ble Minister of Communication & IT and Law and Justice, Ravi Shankar Prasad Jee said that the GRAMIN DAK SEVAKS are not regular Government Employees. They are part time workers and are governed by a separate set of Conduct and Engagement Rules. They do not form part of the regular civil service. They are engaged for only 3 to 5 hours daily work. It is mandatory for them to have an independent source of livelihood before being engaged as GRAMIN DAK SEVAKS and explained as Government already given so many welfare schemes like SDB (Service Discharge Benefit Scheme), exgratia gratuity etc,. 

With due respect and regards we appeal and urge our Hon’ble Communication Minister who are the Minister also for Law & Justice to not to deny the “JUSTICE’ to 2.73 Lakh Gramin Dak Sevaks down trodden and poor employees working in the department of posts

Department of Posts sought clarification from Department of Personnel &Training on definition of Government Employee to include GDSs in purview of 7th CPC

FIRST MILESTONE ON legal fight for GDS DEPARTMENTALISATION

Hon’ble Supreme Court of India has ordered the Delhi High Court to decide the prayer of NFPE & AIPEU-GDS (NFPE) in writ petition No. 1003 of 2013 to treat the three lakhs Gramin Dak Sevaks as civil servants for all purposes at par with other regular employees as per 1977 SC Judgment & to quash the GDS (Conduct & Engagement) Rules 2011.

This is a TURNING POINT IN THE HISTORY OF GDS

NFPE & AIPEU-GDS (NFPE) DID IT

FINAL LEGAL BATTLE HAS BEGUN

We shall fight for GDS both legally and organizationally

Join AIPEU-GDS (NFPE) and strengthen further the fight for the cause of GDS. Nobody can break the unity among NFPE & GDS. Isolate and expose those renegades who betrayed GDS and joined anti-NFPE camp and tried to break the unity between GDS & NFPE. Participation of more than 10000 GDS in the GDS (NFPE) Parliament March proved that we are already recognised by the GDS Employees all over India.

NFPE & AIPEU GDS (NFPE) filed Writ Petition in S.C to grant of civil servant status to GDS

NFPE & AIPEU GDS (NFPE) filed Writ Petition in the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India for implementation of the 1977 Judgment and grant of Civil Servant status to GDS

NFPE & AIPEU-GDS (NFPE) has filed a Writ Petition (Civil) No. 1003 of 2013 in the Hon’ble Supreme Court. The Writ Petition is likely to be listed for “ADMISSION HEARING” before the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India on 13.12.2013 or any day thereafter. Our main submission before the Hon’ble Supreme Court is implementation of the 1977 Judgment and grant of Civil Servant status and all other benefits of Departmental Employees to Gramin Dak Sewaks as per the 1977 judgment. Let us hope that the Writ Petition will be admitted.

Respected Sir,

GDS BONUS NFPE HAS GIVEN THE CORRECT NEWS

MAHADEVAIAH GROUP FLASHED THE FALSE NEWS DELIBERATELY ON 10TH DECEMBER 2012 TO SABOTAGE THE 12TH DECEMBER 2012 STRIKE

MAHADEVAIAH GROUP GDS UNION HAS NOT GIVEN STRIKE NOTICE FOR 12TH DECEMBER 2012 STRIKE

1.   On 10th December 2012 when all are actively campaigning for the success of the 12th December 2012 joint strike, the Mahadevaiah Group GDS Union flashed the following news in their website -

“FLASH AND GLAD NEWS – BONUS FILE CLEARED BY FINANCE TODAY”

They deliberately gave publicity to this false news just to create confusion among the GDS and to sabotage the 12th December strike.

2.   After 12th December strike NFPE put the following news in its website.

“Regarding GDS Bonus the propaganda made by Mahadevaiah Group GDS Union is totally false. Finance Ministry has not approved the proposal for raising the GDS Bonus ceiling to Rs. 3500/- but returned the file without approval.”

(This news item is still in the NFPE website and anybody can verify it.)

Bonus ceiling Rs. 3500/- to GDS

GDS employees will get bonus ceiling at par with departmental staff. Bonus ceiling Rs. 3500/- to GDS file cleared by MOF. 2.7 lakh GDS staff will be benefited.
