Karnataka Postal union

Comrades,
The Circle Council meeting, is scheduled for 24th & 25th march 2016, to be held at “The Bell Hotel” Bangalore 560023.
Now our circle is bestowed with a benign CPMG Smt Usha Chandrashekar. She is good and is very accommodative to the genuine problems of the postal staff.
Please send, in advance, if any unresolved/fresh problems/issues to be addressed at Circle level/Regional level. CPMG has also consented to hold an interactive session with the Divisional/Branch Secretaries and will listen/address to the grievances of the staff. Please make it a point to discuss general staff problems, and avoid raising individual issues.
Secondly, it is already brought to your personal notice by the CHQ and also by email from Circle union, the need & urgency to formation of GDS union. This has to be done on a war footing. No ifs & buts. Please provide the details of GDS adhoc/regular office bearers with date of formation.
Please provide the details of the last Divisional conference held date and reasons for delay if already overdue.
Last, but not the least is the latest quota remittance status of your Division/Branch to Circle/CHQ/Federation. If not remitted please remit the same immediately to all the bodies immediately. CHQ and Federation have taken it very seriously.
Yours fraternally,
G Janakiram,

All Constituents of NJCA

Dear Comrade,

The NJCA met today and reviewed the discussion in the meeting of Empowered Committee of Secretaries presided by the Cabinet Secretary on 1st March 2016 where-in the Cabinet Secretary had requested for more time to arrive at conclusions on the charter of demands raised by the Staff Side.
The meeting also considered the situation in the aftermath of the coming into effect of the Code of Conduct with the declaration of election schedule in 5 State Assemblies and the fact that there will be polling on 11th April 2016 in West Bengal and Assam.
The meeting, therefore, came to the conclusion that it will not be feasible for us to stick to the date of strike as 11th April 2016. Considering the fact that as per section 22 of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947 with regard to the validity of the strike notice which is not more than six weeks from the date of serving the strike notice, it was also felt that we may have to revisit the issue of serving the notice for strike afresh.
Considering all the above aspects, the meeting took the following decisions”

1. The indefinite strike shall commence from 6 am on 11th July 2016

2. The strike Notice would be served on 9th June 2016.

3. Massive demonstrations shall be held in all work place on 11th March 2016 in support of the charter of demands and strike decision.

4. The decision of the NJCA would be communicated to the Cabinet Secretary.

¬¬¬Detailed mobilization programmes would be given later on.

With greetings
Yours faithfully,

Government of India &
Chairman,
National Council/JCM

Subject:- 7th CPC recommendations and Charter of Demands – Reg.

Dear Sir

Kindly refer to the NJCA letter dated 10th December 2015 conveying you the decision of the National Joint Council of Action to go on indefinite strike in pursuance of the Charter of demands submitted there-with, if no settlement through bilateral discussions is brought about.

I am also to invite your kind attention to the discussion the Empowered Committee of Secretaries chaired by you with Standing Committee of NC of JCM on 1st March 2016 where-in while summing up the discussions on the charter of demands you assured that a fair consideration would be given on all demands raised by the Staff Side. It was also stated by you that reasonable time should be given to the Government since the issues concern inter=departmental consultations.

The NJCA in its meeting held on 7th March 2016 considered the request made by you. To give space for negotiated settlement on the charter of demands raised by the Staff Side it has been decided to defer the commencement of the indefinite strike to 11th July 2016 and to serve the strike notice on 9th June 2016, if the desired settlement through bilateral discussions is not brought about.

It is requested that in the intervening period the Government may hold meaningful negotiation with the Staff Side, JCM so that a settlement could be reached on the Charter of demands raised by the staff side, in the interest of industrial harmony.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
