National Unions Legal Cell for GDS : Core Committee.

You are aware that of late the Gramin Dak Sevaks all over the country in general and AP & Telangana circles in particular are facing innumurable problem and subjrcted to unbearable pressure and made to work round the clock though GDS shall not be required to work for more than 5 hours as per GDS Conduct & Engagement Rules,2011. Practically all of us are working for 8 to 10 hours daily. We are not compensated for the extra work done. Inspite of best efforts put in by us , the Administration is not responding positively.It has therefore been decided to go to CAT to get our problem solved legally.

We are happy to inform you all that legal committee comprising of the following members for both Andhra Pradesh & Telangana has been constituted today with the following members.

Core Committee :

Hence forth the committee will attend to the issues mainly relating to disciplinary matters, compassionate appointments and any other service matters relating to GDS in both the circles.

All members are requested to note and bring the problem if any relating to the above subjects.The committee will guide the concerned as per rules.

In addition to this we are filing cases in the CAT, Hyderabad on the following matters.
