POSTAL CASUAL LABOURERS STRUGGLE IN TAMILNADU

STRIKE DECLARED BY

NFPE CIRCLE CO-ORDINATING COMMITTEE

FAST IN FRONT OF CPMG OFFICE CALLED OFF

MOST INSPIRING STRUGGLE IN THE HISTORY OF CASUAL LABOURERS.

            As per the decision taken by the Central Working Committee of All India Postal Casual , Partime , Contingent and Contract Workers Federation , the fast infront of Chief PMG office Chennai commenced on 27th June 2017 demanding revision of wages of Casual Labourers with effect from 01.01.2006 and 01.01.2016 as per orders issued by Postal Directorate. Along with leaders of Casual Labour Federation , leaders of NFPE Circle Co-ordinating Committee (CCC) , Confederation State Committee also joined the programme extending full support and solidarity. The programme was organised under the leadership of NFPE CCC Tamilnadu Circle. More than 1000 casual workers participated in the struggle. Chief PMG held two round discussions with Circle Secretaries of NFPE on 27th June. CPMG took a stand that Directorate orders are not implemented in any circle and challenged our leaders to produce copies of the orders issued by Divisions in other circles. Next day morning Circle leaders produced before the Assistant Director ,  copies of orders issued and implemented in many divisions of Kerala , Andhra and Telangana including Vijayawada Region where the CPMG was working as PMG prior to his promotion as CPMG Tamilnadu. Understanding that his arguments stands demolished by NFPE Circle Unions , the CPMG , instead showing the courage to face the NFPE leaders again in the discussion table , suddenly left  Chennai (ran away !!) without intimating the leaders. It is learnt that he will not be available in Chennai for next four days.  NFPE COC held an emergent meeting and decided to declare one day strike on 13th July 2017 protesting against the negative stand of the Circle administration and demanding immediate wage revision of Casual Labourers. Accordingly 14 days legal notice for the strike was served on 28th June 2017. Entire employees of Tamilnadu Circle  (P3 , P4 , R3 , R4 , Admin , Postal Accounts , SBCO , GDS and Casual Labourers)  will go on strike for the cause of Casual Labourers declaring -- "an injury to one is an injury to all" !!!. As strike is declared , NFPE CCC decided to call off the fast in front of CPMG office and the mass fast ended at 5 PM on 28th June with thundering slogans.

            The Fast was inaugurated by Com M.Durai Pandian , General Secretary , Confederation Tamilnadu state. Com: T.K.Rangarajan , MP (CPIM) and Shri R.S.Bharati , MP (DMK) addressed the programme.

The BJP lead NDA Government deliberately delayed the legitimate right of the employees.

INDEFINITE HUNGER FAST IN FRONT OF CPMG OFFICE BY CASUAL LABOUR FEDERATION WITH THE LEADERS OF CONFEDERATION & NFPE (TN)

            Massive turn out of postal casual labourers and postal workers at the venue of Chief PMG office, Tamilnadu marked the beginning of indefinite fast by CHQ leaders of Postal Casual Labourers Federation today (27-06-2017) morning. The indefinite fast is for the single demand of implementation of DG orders on Casual labourers revision of wages in Tamil Nadu from 01-01-2006.

            The indefinite hunger fast continued for 28th June 2017 (2nd day) also.

Indefinite fast called off on serving of Strike Notice by NFPE COC TN Circle ! 

            On the face of CPMG going away from Chennai without meeting the leaders even after supplying proof of disbursement of arrears as per the orders of Directorate for implementation of revised wages of 6th CPC in Kerala & Andhra, the COC had no option but to serve strike notice. 

            Accordingly a strike notice was served on the Chief PMG for a strike of Postal Employees of Tamilnadu on 13th July. 

            Now the focus is on campaigning for the success of strike to win implementation of directorate orders for 6th CPC wages order to casual labourers in TN Circle. The indefinite fast by CHQ leaders under the leadership of Comrade M Krishnan (SG Confederation) is a new history in the movement of casual workers. 

            Before closing the programme comrade S.Theagarajan SG FNPO addressed the gathering and assured all possible support to 13th strike after consultation with FNPO circle unions. The Circle Administration is thus paving way for a militant state wide agitation of Tamil Nadu  Postal working class .
