All three
GDS unions (AIGDSU, AIPEU-GDS & NUGDS) 16 days historic indefinite strike
of 2.76 lakhs Gramin Dak Sevaks. We congratulate the entire GDS who stood unitedly like a
rock and defeated all the anti-strike propaganda of the Postal Board and their
Agents. We salute the GDS for their courage, bravery and determination. This
strike is a history and it will be written in golden letters in the history of
Postal Trade Union movement and Indian working class movement. Not only all
Central Trade Unions but the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) Postal Federations also
extended full support and solidarity to this strike for emancipation of most down
trodden section called GDS.
This
strike is significant because, it fought against the adamant attitude of the
Govt and Postal Board, rejecting their sweet-coated appeals and also threat of
“withdraw the strike, then only we will talk” and finally ended in thumping
victory and came out with flying colours. All credit goes to the 2.76 lakhs GDS who fought
heroically and unitedly, even though they are scattered in 1,29,500 rural
Branch post offices. This is the great victory of the poor, oppressed,
downtrodden and marginalized section of the society who have nothing to loose
but chains. And We convey our deep condolences to the families of brave GDS
whose shocking sudden deaths and suicide while on strike has shaked the
conscience of right thinking persons.
Nice post.
