An -emergent meeting of the General Secretaries of AIGDSU, AIPEU – GDS & NUGDS held at FNPO Headquarters, New Delhi on 24-05-2018 viewed with grave concern on the totally negative and indifferent attitude of the Central Government & Postal Board against the genuine demands of about three lakh Gramin Dak Sevaks of the Postal Department.
All the negotiations held till date have failed due to the adamant and unhelpful attitude of the Govt and Postal Board. The meeting unanimously decided to continue the indefinite strike till the GDS Committee is implemented.

After several agitations conducted by the GDS unions, the Postal Board has processed the recommendations regarding wages and submitted to the Cabinet for approval. Whether the positive recommendations regarding wage structure is processed, whether higher we will be implemented from 01.01.2016 etc, are not yet known, Other than wages, all other positive recommendations via. Children Education. Allowance, Leave, other Allowances are kept pending and it may take some more time to process and submitted for approval of the Competent Authority, The revision of Wages of other Central Govt Employees was already implemented by Government from 01-01-2016, Glaring discrimination is shown towards Gramin Dak Sevaks,
Instead of accepting our minimum demand, the Postal Board of including Secretary, Department of Posts and Additional Director General of Posts went on Appealing to the unions to withdraw or defer the strike. which we can not accept.
The joint meeting of the striking GDS. Unions unanimously resolve to continue the nationwide indefinite strike of Gramin Dak Sevaks till the implementation of the GDS Committee. This meeting calls upon the entirety of Grarniri Dak Sevaks to further strengthen the unity at base level arid make the strike a resounding success.
