Views on Indefinite Strike from 5th July 2011 - IP ASP Association Joining Strike from 6th July with mass CL on 5th July

Dear Roop Chandji The Punjab Circle Association welcomes the initiative of the CHQ to build up a united struggle for the cause of IPASP. The members of the association have conveyed their support to all the demands given in charter in one voice and appreciated the united strike call. In view of the response of the members we are of the view that we should join Strike on 6th July 2011 keeping 5th July reserve for mass casual leave. The threat or actuality of a strike by an association is a powerful tool so we should grab it by availing mass C/L on 5th July 2011, strike on 6-7-2011. For rest of the period we should extend full and whole hearted support to the proposed indefinite strike. It is also requested that para (iii) of the charter of demand may kindly be amended as under: “Consequent upon introduction of postmaster cadre there should not be any representation of General line officials in PS Group B now. Out of 116 post of Sr. Postmaster, 52 posts of Sr. Postmaster should be filled up from General line and rest of 64 posts may be filled from IP line through LDCE”. For this, though both the recruitment rules have to amend suitably. CS Punjab Source: ipaspassociationpunjab
