The Rangpur District Postal Employees Union has warned of an indefinite strike to press for two key demands. The announcement came during a meeting held on Friday afternoon at the Rangpur District Collectorate ground, attended by members of the Bangladesh Postal Employees Union, Bangladesh Branch Post Office Employees Association, and Bangladesh Branch Post Office Employees Unity Council. Earlier, the workers had observed a hunger strike in front of the Directorate of Posts and later announced a three-day work stoppage. They stated that if their demands remain unmet, a full strike would be held on the 6th and 7th of the month.
The extra-departmental (ED) employees said they have long been working for a daily wage of only 150 taka. They are demanding a threefold increase in pay and official recognition as departmental employees. Speakers at the meeting, including union leaders and representatives from various upazilas, emphasized that the movement would continue until the demands of about 23,000 workers nationwide are fulfilled.
Union leaders urged the government to consider their demands, stressing that postal workers deliver letters to people’s doorsteps but do not receive fair compensation for their service.
