NATIONWIDE STRIKE


Comrades,

All central trade unions decided to go for two days strike on 20th and 21st February 2013. The new economic policy pursued by the government is paving way for disinvestment of public sector undertakings ( Banks and Insurance sector) and allowing foreign investments in retail business. Non stop hike in prices  of petroleum products , diesel and gas  are impact of the said policy which is directly putting the common people into untold hardship.
The government employees are also not spared by these erratic policies. In Postal department too, a lot of changes take place in the name of modernization. Curtailment of deliveries, Down size of RMS sections, staff reduction, outsourcing the operative services, New pension , delaying the cadre restructure etc are the clear evidence of the wrong policy.
Hence, NFPE have fully endorsed the clarion call of central unions, INTUC, CITU, AITUC etc to go for two days strike.
12th December strike of the central government employees proved their firm responsive to fight against injustice unleashed by the government in the guise of new economic policy. Let us carry forward further struggles for redressal of the burning problems. Charter of demands are furnished below. Tour campaign programme  of the leaders of AIPSBCOEA  is also given below. Kindly make campaign success all over India by coordinating with other all unions affiliated with NFPE and FNPO.
With struggle greetings
