ONE OF THE MAIN STRIKE DEMANDS SETTLED
GREAT ACHIEVEMENT OF AIPEU POSTMEN AND MTS (NFPE) UNION
Rs.3050/-PAY SCALE GRANTED FROM 01-01-1996 - ORDERS ISSUED.

As all of you are aware, after 5th CPC, Com.K.Adinarayana, Ex-SG, P4 faught for higher pay scale of Rs.3050- (LDC Scale) for Postmen. Finally Com.   Inderjit Gupta, Home Minister, who was the Head of the Group of Ministers who held discussion with Staff Side, agreed for grant of two advance increments for Postmen. Later Finance Ministry diluted the assurance by limiting the two advance increments to only entry pay scale of newly appointed Postmen. Struggle for grant of Rs.3050/- scale continued under the leadership of Com.  Adi and later Com.Des Raj Sharma.

Finally before the 1998 indefinite strike orders granting Rs.3050/- (LDC Scale) for Postmen is issued. But again Finance Ministry played the game and the Rs.3050/- scale was given effect  from  10-1997 only Instead of 01-01-1996.

Against this injustice P-4 CHQ filed case in the Principle Bench of CAT, New Delhi. Com. I.S. Dabas & Com. R.Seethalakshmi Ex-GSs, P--4 took the following action. CAT gave favourable  judgement.  But Department went on appeal to High Court. High Court upheld the argument of the department and P4 CHQ lost the case in the High Court.

Against this P-4 CHQ filed appeal (Special Leave Petition) in the Supreme Court. Finally Supreme Court delivered favourable judgement on 0-7-05-2015. The Department tried its best to delay the implementation of judgement. Along with GDS strike demand, P-4 CHQ gave strike notice with GDS & P-4 demands also. After our strike notice, the department issued orders on 23-05-2018 for implementing Rs.3050/- scale to Postmen staff from 01-01-1996 itself.

It is a great victory of the P-4 Union. P-4 CHQ congratulates the P-4 Comrades who stood with the CHQ in the struggle and also in the legal battle. Without struggle, no success shall come. Without strong militant organization, no struggle is possible.
