NFPE CIRCULAR

No. PF-01(e)/2015                                                                                   Dated – 31.10.2015

To

            All General Secretaries/NFPE Office Bearers/All Circle, Divisional & Branch          Secretaries of NFPE affiliated Unions

Dear Comrades,

            NFPE alongwith AIPEUGDS (NFPE) has taken decision to go on 48 hours strike on 1^st & 2^nd December, 2015 on the four point\s charter of demands.

            NFPE had requested Secretary (P) in writing and by meeting personally to resolve the issues which are pending since long. But it is a very sorry state of affairs on the part of Department of Posts that neither any issue is settled nor even a single line in reply is being given.

            As you all are  aware that NFPE along with PJCA had declared indefinite strike from 6^th May-2015 onwards. On most of the items  Secretary (P)  gave positive  assurance in writing in the meetings  during negotiations on agenda of strike Charter of demands and the minutes were circulated among all and were published in all union journals. On 5^th May Honourable Minister  Communication also called  meeting with both Secretary Generals NFPE & FNPO and  he also gave positive assurances including  GDS wage revision by 7^th CPC and for Cadre restructuring he told  that  he has signed the file after approving the proposals and handed over to Secretary Post.

            But after a lapse of 6 months period no progress is being noticed in any of the matter.

            Earlier National Joint Council of Action  of Constituent Organizations of National  Council JCM had taken  decision to go on indefinite  strike  from 23rd  November -2015 in which  our main demand of inclusion of GDS was also  included in the Charter of  demands

            It was expected that Pay Commission will submit its report upto 30^th September, 2015. Pay Commission requested to grant 2 months extension to bind up the office but the Government of India was very much generous to grant 4 months extension to Pay Commission. Pay Commission has completed its task but now Government is interfering and Secretary Finance Ministry has directed Pay Commission to give recommendations keeping in view the fiscal condition of the country and it should not give such recommendations which cannot be implemented. NJCA had deferred the decision of strike from 23^rd November, 2015. We as NFPE told in the meeting of NJCA that we are going on indefinite strike in Postal. NJCA leadership requested to review  and reconsider  the decision and change the  date as NJCA has given call of a grand Dharna by All India  leaders of NJCA at Jantar Manter, New Delhi on 19 November,2015. Some of our Confederation leaders and senior leaders of NFPE also advised to review the decision. Accordingly NFPE Federal Secretariat meeting was held at Hyderabad on 11.10.2015 and reviewed the situation and unanimous decision was taken to organize 48 hours strike on 1^st & 2^nd December, 2015 on the following 4 points of Charter of demands:

            (i) Include GDS in 7^th CPC for wage revision and other service related matters.

            (ii) Implement cadre Restructuring proposals in all cadres including Postal       Accounts      & MMS.

            (iii) Fill up all vacant posts in all cadres of Department of Posts (i.e. PA, SA,     Postmen, Mail Guard, Mail Man, GDS Mail Man, MMS Driver & other staff in        MMS, PA       CO, PA SBCO, Postal Accounts Staff, Civil & Electrical Wing Staff, as         per actual sanctioned        strength.

            (iv) Stop all types of harassment in the name of implementation of various      new    services and schemes and Trade Union Victimization.

BRIEF OF JUSTIFICATION OF DEMANDS

(i).       INCLUDE GDS IN 7^TH CPC FOR WAGE REVISION AND OTHER SERVICE      RELATED MATTERS.

            Gramin Dak Sewaks constitute 50% of Work Force in Department of Post. They run 89% Post Offices in Rural Areas. Since 2^nd Pay Commission, every  time a Committee headed by bureaucrats  has been constituted to look into the wage revision  and other service related matters  except at the time of Vth  Pay Commission when Justice  Talwar  Committee  was formed which gave  very favourable  recommendations to the GDS  but Government  did not implement 25% of its recommendations. This time NFPE raised the issue to include GDS in 7^th CPC and this was supported by Confederation and National Council JCM. But Government has not given any attention towards this demand. During the negotiation on Strike  Charter of demands, Secretary (Post) assured to refer the matter  to Government  of India again third time  with strong recommendations  and  on 05.05.2015 , Hon`ble  Minister Communication had also assured to use his influence to get the GDS included in 7^th CPC but nothing has been done so far. It is coming to the notice by some sources that Department of Post is going to form bureaucratic Committee again. We have requested several times that when Pay Commission complete its task than this matter should  also be given to him . Now Pay Commission has been allowed to sit idol for 3 months. This period might have been utilized for the wage revision of GDS. But Government of India is not at all concerned about this poor deprived and exploited section of working class. We cannot tolerate this state. So we have to go to agitation to fight this injustice and discrimination.

(ii).       CADRE RESTRUCTURING

            Cadre Restructuring proposals were finalized by the Committee 2 years before. On 5th May 2015 Minister also approved.  JS&FA also cleared the proposals. DOP&T has not raised any objection and suggested to take clearance from Finance Ministry. There is no more financial implications even that Finance Ministry has not cleared the proposal. We have asked Department of Post several times but nothing has been done so far. If it is not implemented before implementation of 7^thCPC report. It will be of no use.

(iii).     FILL UP ALL VACANT POSTS IN ALL CADRES OF DEPARTMENT OF POSTS.

            Though Recruitment is going on in the Department of Posts here and there. But there is acute shortage of staff in all cadres because recruitment is not being done as per actual sanctioned strength. If recruitment is made as per actual sanctioned strength and shortage is met out then 50%   problems will be solved automatically.

 

(iv).      STOP ALL TYPES OF HARASSMENT IN THE NAME OF IMPLEMENTATION OF      VARIOUS             NEW   SERVICES AND SCHEMES AND TRADE UNION    VICTIMIZATION.

            Our staff in all cadres is facing so much harassment and victimization. Every day any new service or scheme is being launched without proper infrastructure and sufficient man power. CBS and CSI biggest problem for P-III, 100% delivery for Postmen. Harassment of staff in RMS on OTA, More problems in Circle Office, Postal Accounts and Civil Wing and Electrical Wings are being faced due to staff shortage. If any Trade union leader raises his voice against these onslaughts, he is victimized. Holding of Melas and Meetings on every Sunday and Holiday has become the regular practice against the directions given by Secretary (Post).

            So keeping in all these we have to fight against all these onslaughts and wrong policies of department of Posts and Government of India.

            Whatever we have achieved that is due to struggle only. We have achieved so many things in past by struggles only. If we fight unitedly we will win sure.

            For making the strike 100% successful please follow the following instructions:

1.         Campaign programme of All India leaders have been declared and published in websites, all circle secretaries of NFPE affiliated unions are requested to consult each other and make all arrangements for the meetings of All India leaders. If any change is needed, can be made with consultation of all.

2.         All India leaders should attend the programmes compulsorily.

      3.           Maximum publicity should be given to the campaign programme.

      4.         Strike notice will be served on 06.11.2015 to the Secretary (Posts) by NFPE leaders.It should be served at all levels by organizing mass demonstrations.

      5.         Joint campaign programme should be conducted by all Circle/Divisional Secretaries in their respective Circles and Divisions and make maximum efforts for grand success of strike by organizing Gate meetings and General Body meetings.

      6.          Circulars/Pamphlets /Hand bills and Posters should be published and send to all. These should be published in regional language also.

7.         Please leave no stone unturned for success of strike.

8.         Give Wide Publicity in local Press and Media.

Yours fraternally,

(R. N. Parashar)

Sir,
             Sub:Filling up of Checker post in HRO Tiruchy/Checking   

Branch-reg

              Ref: SSRM memo No.B 45 / HRO  dt-16.09.2015 .

        Our union wish to bring the followings to the kind notice of  Divisional Administration on the above subject.

We  are  having  more  confident  that  the  tenure posts like as Checker post cited  in  the  above  reference   would   be   filled   up   according    to    rules  and  orders   theron  issued  time  to  time.

However, we wish to bring some orders issued by the Regioal/Divisional level  which  are  taken  into  account while filling up the tenure posts in our Division.

1).  One  service  union  made  complaint  to  the PMG Tiruchy that the
frontline  activist  of  union  holding  the  post  like  Divisional/Regional Secretary or Federal councilor should not be posted in the sensitive post like  Instruction  clerk  I  & II  and  it was accepted and ordered by  the PMG Tiruchy and thus   Sri.M.Gavanahan, Checker was  shifted  from the post  of Instruction clerk II.                                                                            .
At  present  we  came to know that Sri.N.Rengarajan, SA, the  DIVISIONAL
SECRETARY / REGIONAL  SECRETARY  AND FEDERAL COUNCILOR of  a service union applied for the post  more  sensitive than the post of Sri.M.Gavanahan, SA hold.

                                    .
2). Also, another order issued by the SSRM that the official who broken their  tenure prematurely at their own interest like Sri.N.Rengarajan,SA who   worked   in  the  Sorting-I   branch  which  is  the   FIVE  YEARS TENURE POST and some others should not posted until they complete the two times of tenure ( i.e. Sri.N.Rengarajan’s  tenure period of 5 years + 5 years = 10 years and others 4 + 4 years ) in operative side. Here when the above officials breaking his tenure at his  own interest he worked in the sorting Branch which is the 5 years tenure post.                             .
                                                                                                          …….2

                                                  -2-

3). Further a  disciplinary proceedings on  a fraud  case in c/w he  made the Rubber stamp of HRO Tiruchy and he himself  put the signature of HRO  Tiruchy  for   getting  loan  from  Andhra  Bank  Tiruchy  is  still pending. In  view of the foregoing  there is a precedent for the rejection of his application for tenure post.                                      .

Hence we request the Divisional Administration that the above aspects
may please be taken into account while filling up the above post.

We strongly hope that our century old Division would retain/maintain
its tradition as in the past.                            .                                        
                                        Thanking you sir.                                    .

            This letter is regarding the anti working culture, anti decorum of office and misbehavior towards the women employees and giving them mental torture by Sri.S.Appadurai,SA,SRO Mayiladthurai.

            He is working as HSA in Mayiladuthurai RMS since the LSG HSA is now vacant.

            On 13.09.2015 he was the HSA in the set not attending office works but sat down in the centre floor of the office and opening liquor items which  are prohibited in the Govt. office premises, with tiffin items and consumed everything and laid down on the floor itself while all others were working in the office but  he often  raised his head only by supporting his hand  and made supervision on the set, it was informed to this union.

            At midnight after 00.30 hrs when the  officials went to mail  exchange he wake up; he was seen  with  banian only fully sweltering condition and stood across the two women employees and making comments and tried to chatting and misbehaving  with them; in an extreme stage he thrown some packets down often and often and ordered the women staff to pick the packets; by seeing his uncondition and misbehavior the officials feared very much and requested help from others. On the intervention of others only the said Sri.S.Appadurai stopped his activities and all other officials forced him go outside office.

            It was reported to the IP RMS ‘T’ 3^rd on the same date and also it was brought to the notice of Mrs.S.Appadurai and she in turn informed that this kind of complaint is the big nuisance of him and requested to take stringent action.

            Our union also wish to bring your kind notice that this kind  of his behavior is not a first instance but already many cases are pending with DO.

Already a lady staff Sri.Malini,SA has resigned her job due to his tortures.

Already a  LADIES HARRASSMENT CASE IS PENDING with DO.

A  passport-which was pocketed by him-case is pending with DO.

An insured not disposed and after mishandled case  pending with DO.

Further, at present it was informed us that;

1.      He is in the regular habit of coming office on intoxicated and during the office hour also he consumes and taking advantages towards the females.

2.       He supplies prohibited items to other innocent officials during the duty hours.

3.   He uses the mail office on closed days of Saturday night after 22.00 hrs, Sunday and Postal Holidays for all his own convenient.

4.   He is in the habit of making unanimous call by various landline phone to women employees during night hours while they are in rest at home.

5.   Asking only the parents women employees as saying he is  the HEAD SORTING OFFICER/SUPERINTEDENT of Mayiladuthurai  to send him Non-veg curry, fish,chicken &mutton kuzhampu  through their daughters.           

6.   Following the lady staff after duty in train and buses taking the seats of near them.

7.      He relieves from office before the completion of duty by Uzhavan Exp in the morning.

8.      Walking here and there with casual wears that is too with banian only in the office.

9.      Regular deposit and missent in his set and making remarks in the DR reg deposit.

10.  Demanding and giving tortures to the outsiders saying no duty to them if they not ready to give bribe regularly eventhough they are arranged by the SRO.

11.  Smoking at the doorstep of office and spreading it inside the office  is his another one regular habit eventhough many ladies are working in the set.

These are a few example for his activities in the office. We request the SSRM, that this kind of activities which affect the entire atmosphere of office and also making fear among lady staff , and threatening them if they comes to report may please be checked with stringent action for ensuring the staff especially lady staff at Mayiladuthurai feel secured.

Thanking you sir.
