Sir,
Sub: - Long Pending
issues pertaining to Postal & RMS employees including Gramin Dak Sevaks (GDS)
– agitational programmes – regarding.
The meeting of the Postal Joint
Council of Action ( PJCA) comprising all the affiliated Unions/Associations of National Federation of
Postal Employees (NFPE) & Federation of National Postal
Organisations (FNPO) held
at New Delhi
on 28.07.2014 has
reviewed the overall
situation prevailing in Department of Posts and has come to the
unanimous conclusion that the attitude of the Government and
the Department of

the long pending
demands which are agitating the minds of the Postal &
RMS employees including Gramin Dak Sevaks (GDS) is not at all positive,
in spite of the
fact that the
staff unions and
employees, especially the
above mentioned two recognised Federation (NFPE & FNPO) and all its
affiliated Unions/Associations have extended full support and cooperation in
implementing all developmental activities including IT Modernisation project
and also in increasing the
efficiency, productivity and
revenue of the Department of Posts. Even the approved
forums for negotiations like JCM Departmental Council are remaining defunct for
the last many months, in spite of clear instructions from Cabinet Secretary
and DOP&T.

decided to organize following phased programme of agitation for calling
attention of the authorities and also for realization of the genuine and
justified demands of the employees, culminating in indefinite strike.
