Circular No. 7/2012 Date : 22-2-2012
Dear Colleagues, FWC Members / CHQ Office bearers / Circle Secretarires of FNPO affiliated Unions
GENERAL STRIKE ON 28TH FEB 2012
Everyone
is aware that the Postal Federations have jointly given a call to all
Postal employees to participate in the strike on 28th February 2012
(Tuesday) based on the call given by Central Trade Unions.
Now
some of the colleagues raised a query as to why FNPO is participating
in the forthcoming one day strike. This is not the first time that the
FNPO called one day strike. Earlier in the year 2004, when Supreme Court
gave judgment against the strike, we jointly gave a call for one day
strike.
After a long gap of eight years, we have joined for one day strike seeing serious anti-labour policies of the Government.
Decision of Central Trade Unions
Central
Trade Unions conducted a meeting at Delhi on 7th September 2011 and
decided to go on strike for one day in protest against the anti-labour
policies of the Government.
They
also conducted state-level conventions. Dr. Sanjeeva Reddy, President,
INTUC attended meeting at Hyderabad on 5th February 2012 and assured
that all INTUC affiliated unions would participate in the strike on
28-2-2012 in joint convention where AITUC, CITU, BMS and others
participated.
On
January 2012, joint convention was organized by Central Trade Unions.
Our INTUC Vice-President Sri Chandrasekar shared the dais with AITUC,
CITU and BMS and called upon all INTUC workers to participate in the
strike.
Sector-wise Strike preparation
The
Telecom workers of FNTO, BSNLEU, NFTE and BTEF have decided to
participated in the strike on 28-2-2011. They issued strike notice
organizing the conventions state-wise to make the strike successful.
In Defence, INTUC, AIDEF and BMS have jointly give a strike notice against the policies of the Government.
In LIC, INTUC Union decided to participate in the strike on 28-2-2012.
Our
JCM leader Sri M. Raghaviah, called upon all the NFIR members to hold
Dharna and conventions explaining the anti labour policies of the
Central Government in favour of strike on 28th February 2012.
Taking
all the above the FNPO has decided to participate in the strike on 28th
February 2012 with all other Central Government employees unions.
The
demands putforth by the Central Trade Unions to the Government are very
important and the success of the strike alone will decide the Central
Government employees future.
WORLD WIDE POSTL STRIKE.
FNPO
colleagues and viewers of FNPO web site are very well aware what is
going on in the Postal Department world-wide. In the last two months,
Postal strikes were organized in USA., UK, France, Kenya, Belgium.
Further FNPO colleagues are aware that Asia pacific Region Postal
Sectors are either corporatized or privatized except India, Bangaladesh
and Nepal.
In
India, the top bureaucrats are of the firm opinion that there is no
need to give subsidies to the Postal Department. If Government takes
such decision, our position would be very awkward and dangers to every
Postal employees.
Present
setback in Postal Service in African Region, American Region, European
Region and Asia Region may come to India post at any time. If
we want to resist, we have to unite and fight. At this juncture we have
no other alternative except to participate in the strike to draw the
attention of the Government.
I
hope and trust that all our Circle Secretaries, Divisional Secretaries
and CHQ office-bearersand our members of all our affiliated unions of
FNPO will make this one day strike a resounding success in India post.
Anticipating your fullest co-operation.
Yours Fraternally,
D.Theagarajan.
