EDITORIAL POSTAL CRUSADER: AUGUST-2015 : MAKE THE ONE DAY STRIKE ON 2ND SEPTEMBER-2015 A HISTORIC SUCCESS
DEFEAT ANTI PEOPLE, ANTI WORKING CLASS POLICIES OF THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT.
MAKE THE ONE DAY STRIKE ON 2ND SEPTEMBER-2015 A HISTORIC SUCCESS.
*****************
During the one year period of BJP Government, it may be clearly felt that this Government has betrayed and cheated the workers and worked against them curtailing their trade union rights, wages and social security’s which were earned through sustained struggles and sacrifices by them. Every action of Government is pro capitalists, pro employers. Large scale amendments in labour laws are aimed to benefit industrialists/employers to give them free hand to retrench/lay off workers, declare closure/shutdown of establishment and resort to mass scale contractorization.
The main object of these changes is to do away with whatever minimal protection the workers are having under present labour laws despite their large scale violations in connivance with the state Governments. The present Central Government does not want to implement the consensus recommendations of 43rd, 44th and 45th Indian Labour Conferences of formulation of minimum wages, same wage and benefits as regular workers for the contract workers and granting status of workers with attendant benefits to those employed in various Central Government schemes like Anganwadi, Midday Meal, ASHA, Para Teachers etc. On the contrary the Government drastically curtailed budget allocations to all those centrally sponsored schemes meant for poor people’s welfare.
Beside these labour laws the Central Government is also doing away the workers from social security schemes like, EPF and ESI making them a optional aiming to dismantle the basic social security cover available to organized sector.
The Government has not taken any concrete measures to curb price rise of essential commodities. On universal public distribution system, the Government is trying to scuttle it through Direct Benefit transfer scheme resulting further squeeze on the common people,
After coming in Power this Government declared total Ban on recruitment in all Central Government Services causing large scale unemployment. 100% FDI in Railways, the biggest establishment of Central Government has been declared and further projects will be launched on PPP Model. Bigger and important stations will be given to private parties to develop and take users charges causing more burden on common man.49% FDI has also been declared in Defence and 41 Ordnance Factories will be privatized resulting more contractorization of labour . Disinvestment has already been started in C.P.S.U.S. like Coal India Ltd., NTPC and NHPC etc. Plan to corporatize Ports is also in pipeline.
Whatever promises were made by Modiji during election campaign. On all of those this Government has taken U turn. Not a single promise is being fulfilled. Land acquisition act is also being amended which will be against the interests of Farmers. No reasonable minimum support price for the agriculture products and nothing to compensate the loss of crops caused due to natural calamities.
In Central Services the New Pension Scheme was introduced during the previous NDA Government and now this Government also does not agree to replace it by Defined benefit Pension Scheme causing more miseries to the working people,
The demands of Central Government Employees for grant of DA Merger, Interim Relief and date of effect of 7th CPC recommendations from 01.01.2014 has also been rejected.
In Postal Department, Government is moving ahead to corporatize various services based on the recommendations of Task Force Committee headed by T.S.R Subramanian. The Department of Posts and Government of India has still not taken any decision to include G.D.S. in 7th CPC. The agreement and assurances made by the Postal Board during the course of negotiations on PJCA Strike Charter of Demands are not being implemented.
So keeping all the facts in mind and in pursuance of decision taken by All Central Trade Unions to go on ONE DAY STRIKE on 2nd September-2015 , the National Executive of Confederation and Federal Secretariat of NFPE have also endorsed the decision to resist the onslaughts on working class in the wake of neo-liberal Economic Policies by participating in the strike.
NFPE appeals to all the affiliates and entire rank and file to make maximum efforts for the grand success of ONE DAY 2nd September-2015 Strike and defeat Anti People, Anti Working Class Policies of Government of India.

BJP icons Vivekananda, Bhagat Singh, Tagore, Bose, Abul Kalam to join Nehru on stamps
NEW DELHI: Continuing with the BJP's project to dilute the Gandhi-Nehru family's iconography, the government is all set to immortalise anti-Congress political icons such as Jai Prakash Narayan, Ram Manohar Lohia, Syama Prasad Mookerjee and Deen Dayal Upadhyay by issuing 'definitive' postage stamps of them in various denominations.
A decision to this effect was learnt to have been taken during a recent meeting of the philatelic advisory committee chaired by Ravi Shankar Prasad, Union minister of IT, Telecom and Posts.
The postal department issues stamps in two categories - definitive and commemorative. Definitive stamps are for day-today use in various denominations and are available across all post offices in the country. Commemorative stamps are limited edition stamps issued on special occasions related to people, institutions or events.
Government sources said the move stems from criticism during the committee meeting about the postal department issuing definitive stamps featuring members of the Congress first family --Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi - apart from Mahatma Gandhi.
"It was decided that eminent people of all ideological, cultural and musical streams and revolutionaries should be given due space in definitive postage stamps," according to an official who attended the meeting.
According to sources, the indications are definitive postage stamps would be issued on Swami Vivekananda, revolutionary Bhagat Singh, Rabindranath Tagore, Subhash Chandra Bose, Vallabhbhai Patel, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, Tamil poet Subramnia Bharti and modern stalwarts of Indian music - Pandit Ravishankar, Bhimsen Joshi and MS Subbulakshmi.
"This move has been necessitated by the dominance of members of one family (Nehru-Gandhi) in the definitive postage stamps category," said a person who was present at the committee meeting. The ruling establishment now hopes to establish Deen Dayal Upadhyay and Syama Prasad Mookerjee, the two ideological icons of the ruling BJP, as icons for the
masses through their postage stamps.
Additionally, the meeting is learnt to have recommended launching a series of commemorative stamps on musical stalwarts (Mohammad Rafi, Kishore Kumar, Mukesh, Bhupen Hazarika and Geeta Dutt), painters, dancers and revolutionaries of India.

E-retail firms boost Postal Department revenue
MUMBAI: With e-commerce platforms increasingly turning to the Indian Posts to deliver their orders to customers, the fast flourishing e-retail business has become a revenue generator for the state-run agency, whose traditional operations are dented by the deep penetration of e-mail and mobile phones.
Realising the potential, the Postal Department has set up a dedicated e-commerce and parcel processing center in the country's commercial hub Mumbai.
Spread across 12,000 sq ft, the facility at Parcel in the city has bagged good business in a short span, handling around 5,000 orders a day.
The department officials expect at this pace the traffic would soon increase to 10,000 parcels per day. The facility has a capacity to process 30,000 parcels per day.
Quite a few e-commerce companies have already approached the department seeking tie-up with India's oldest and most trusted National postal facility including major players like Amazon, Snap deal, Flip-kart, E-bey, Telebrand India, TVC network, Quick Services and Red Box.
"The commercial agreement started taking place last year and by now we have had commercial tie-up with 46 e-commerce companies in Mumbai region, 7 in Pune and 6 in Goa," said a senior official from the Postal Department.
