CENTRAL JCA MET ON 11.01.2012 UNANIMOUSLY DECIDES TO GO AHEAD WITH THE INDEFINITE STRIKE MAKE THE STRIKE CENT PERCENT SUCCESS
We are in receipt of encouraging reports from various circles and divisions about the mobilization by grass root level workers and leaders for the total participation of employees in the Indefinite Strike from 17th January 2012 as per the call of Central Joint council of Action (NFPE, FNPO & GDS Unions)
Inspite of our vehement opposition the Postal Board is adamant on implementing Mckinsey consultancy reforms (L1, L2) in RMS. Further regarding closure/merger of Post offices, they are violating the earlier assurances and going on justifying the merger of Post office. On other demands assurances given in July 2011 is repeated and no result oriented action is forth coming.
In these circumstances the Central JCA meeting held on 11.01.2012 has unanimously decided to intensify the strike preparations and go on indefinite strike from 17th January 2012.
MAKE ALL OUT EFFORTS TO MAKE THE  STRIKE A HISTORIC SUCCESS
