The 29th all-India
conference of the National Federation of Postal Employees (NFPE) affiliated to
the All-India Postal Employees Union Group C on Tuesday adopted a resolution
chalking out agitational programmes to secure long-pending pending demands.
According to the
resolution, though the govt had declared the draft National Postal Policy 2012,
it was nothing but a roadmap to privatisation of postal services by amending
the Indian Postal Act and granting licences to multinational courier
services. The govt was planning to close down post offices in the name of
running at a loss. Posts are being abolished without any justification in
post offices while the workload has increased for employees with no new
posts being created.
Cadre restructuring and
other sectional issues are yet to be settled. The NFPE had earlier taken the
initiative in organising agitational programmes including launching
indefinite strikes and as a result the Postal Dept was compelled to stop the
move to close 9,797 post offices. The govt is reluctant to settle the issues
related to Gramin Dak Sevaks and causal labourers. “Only through a struggle of
entire postal employees, can the anti-labour policies of the govt be resisted
and the pending issues of postal employees be resolved,” the resolution said.
