I. Resolution adopted by NFPE Federal Executive.
The Federal Executive of NFPE records its full
appreciation for the yeoman service rendered by Comrade M.Krishnan as the
Secretary General of NFPE. The Federation has scaled new heights during his
stewardship and the unity of Postal regular employees and Gramin Dak Sewaks
entered into a new chapter under his leadership. The united movements of Postal
Workers under the banner of Postal JCA as well as the independent struggles
under the mighty National Federation of Postal Employees are further
strengthened under his able leadership. He provided a militant, progressive
leadership with farsightedness for the betterment of Postal Workers. It
is under his leadership that the NFPE claimed its historic vanguard
role of leading the entirety of CG Employees under the platform of
Confederation of CG Employees & Workers and it can be seen that the
movement of central government employees has launched a powerful movement
including strikes for the establishment of 7th CPC
with Comrade M.Krishnan as its Secretary General. The integration of Postal and
CG Employees with the entirety of Indian working class organisations in
developing the path of united struggles against the neo-liberal policies of
Government has further been cemented during his tenure. The leadership of
confederation has come back to the Postal Organisation after a long period of
44 years and comrade Krishnan is leading the movement of CG employees in the
path of struggle with firmness and it is noteworthy to mention that the unity of
all JCM National Council organisations has reached its zenith with all coming
together in championing the cause of three lakhs of Gramin Dak Sewaks and
thousands of casual labourers in Postal and CG services due to his firm
efforts. Ideological education of all cadres and employees through several All
India and Regional Trade Union Camps under the banners of NFPE and
Confederation; Concrete organisational steps for mobilizing the women employees
of Postal Department as well as the Confederation level are some of the
landmark achievements of Comrade Krishnan. The National Executive notes with
happiness that all the affiliates of NFPE have always maintained a unified
stand on all important activities of the Federation and this unity is due to
the confidence created amongst all affiliates by the unifying leadership of
Comrade Krishnan. The relinquishing of charge as the Secretary General of NFPE
by him due to his superannuation from the Government Service is a huge loss to
the movement but the Executive wishes to get his valuable advice and guidance
to the Federation in the days to come. The National Executive places on record
its unstinted gratitude to Comrade M.Krishnan for his able leadership to the
historic organisation of NFPE not only as Secretary General but in numerous
other capacities as well during his long service. The Federal Executive further resolves that
Com.M.Krishnan will continue to be in the Federal Executive of NFPE even after
handing over charge, till the next Federal Council meeting to be held in May
2016.
II. Resolution
adopted by CWC meeting of AIPEU Group - C (CHQ)
RESOLUTION
ON THE SERVICES OF COM. M.KRISHNAN, GENEARL SECRETARY, AIPEU GROUP-C CHQ &
SECRETARY GENERAL NFPE/CONFEDERATION
The Central Working Committee of All
India Postal Employees Union Group ‘C’ (CHQ) held in Ongole (Andhra Pradesh)
from 22.8.2014 to 24.8.2014 unanimously appreciates the sincere, superb and
outstanding services rendered by Com. M. Krishnan as General Secretary of AIPEU
Group ‘C’ (CHQ) and Secretary General of NFPE & Confederation during his
tenure and like to place on record our whole hearted compliments,greetings and
commendations to him and also acknowledge and recognize him for his
unparalleled and appreciated service, which definitely resulted in charming the
organization to new heights and also in settling many of the long pending
demands of the Postal employees, especially Postal Group ‘C’ staff.
Com. M.
Krishnan’s contributions in enhancing the prestige and image of AIPEU Group ‘C’
and thereby NFPE as well as the Confederation, will be remembered forever. In
order to strengthen the organization and also to enhance the organizing
capacity of the rank and file leaders the P3 CHQ & NFPE CHQ under the leadership of Com.
M. Krishnan is maintaining constant communication with the general membership
through website and also the Bhartiya Post and Postal Crusader monthly
journals. The Trade Union classes and workshops organized by Com M.Krishnan,
General Secretary for the NFPE and the Confederation has also contributed to a
great extent in improving the quality of the organization. The need of the
unity amidst the working class of all sections as well as Government employees,
organized and unorganised workers, he preached and also practiced during his
tenure upsurge him to the standard of a
great statesman and a living legend. It is only Com M. Krishnan, who spends
more than 20 hours daily for the working class all along during his tenure.
Com.
M.Krishnan is a vivacious, vibrant,meticulous hard working and fully committed
leader and is always working for the upliftment and welfare of the Postal
employees, especially most down-trodden three lakhs Gramin Dak Sewaks. He has
also extended his helping hand to all affiliated unions of the NFPE as the
Member and then Leader of the JCM (Departmental Council) Staff side. He is also
the All India Secretary General of the Confederation of Central Government
Employees & Workers and is at the forefront in implementing all the
programmes of the Confederation. The two days strike in February 2014 demanding
the formation of the Seventh Pay Commission cut the ice and is one of the
milestone in the history of the CG employees’ movement.
Com
M.Krishnan has pioneered and crusaded his best in making the General Strikes
conducted as per the call of Central Trade Unions and other Federations
including NFPE against the anti-people and anti-worker policies of the Govt. a
grand success in the Postal Sector. As the Secretary General, National
Federation of Postal Employees he built the unity of all the Postal employees
and conducted various trade union actions which have prevented the adverse
effect of implementation of the new economic policy in the postal sector and to
save the postal service as a public utility service. The mass recruitment to
the extent of 30% and more in the postal is the major advancement of the
Federation for which the skill and negotiating capacity of the Secretary General NFPE Com M. Krishnan are fully
exploited. The fight against closure of 9797 Postoffices and 300 RMS offices in
the name of McKincey Consultancy’s recommendation, the campaign against the New
Postal Policy and the move of the Govt. to privatise postal services by
granting licence to Courier Services, the Cadre Restructuring agreement etc are
examples of his uncompromising stand, hard-bargaing and negotiating skill. His
capacity to make inspiring and educative speeches and also taking class are
worth emulating.
This Central Working
Committee of this Union, while saluting Com. M. Krishnan for his devoted and
dedicated service to the Central Govt. Employees and Postal employees,
especially to the CHQ of AIPEU Group ‘C’ hereby resolved to utilize the
valuable and experienced services of Com. M. Krishnan in the AIPEU Group ‘C’
(CHQ) till the next All India Conference to be held in June 2015.
III. E.mail
received from Shri.D.Theagarajan, SG, FNPO.
In regard
to the services rendered by Sri M.Krishnan to the employees, I am unable to
find words to express my appreciation towards him. In the last few years my
relationship with him is very cordial and it became useful to the Postal
employees. His manner of approaching
official side with the issues of staff is bold as well as of positive nature .
So far I
do not find negative attitude in him during the negotiation with official side.
The retirement of Shri M.Krishnan from
the Department is a great loss to the Postal employees in particular and central government employees in general .
In fine ,
I feel that a good friend of mine is retiring from the service.. I pray to the Almighty to shower blessings on him and
his family members to give happiness and prosperity .
