Cadre review for Postman & MTS’
(i)
Since
the MTS is the common category for all Central Govt. employees, there is no
possibility of bringing them under cadre review.

As
functional Justification could not be identified for the Postman and also the
higher pay granted by the 6th CPC, the official side did not favour
any cadre review. However official side came forward with the proposal if the
Postman cadre opts out from the MACP scheme and agree to take the percentage
wise promotions it will be considered. It requires a deep study and the Postman
unions will discuss the issue and come out with the proposals.
The chairman conveyed that the next meeting
will be arranged in short notice to finalise the proposals.

before the Parliament demanding departmentalization of GDS on 27.7.2012. The
comrades of Delhi Circle desire to arrange a felicitation function to Com. K.
V. Sridharan, General Secretary on the eve of his superannuation on 27.07.2012
evening at Delhi. The comrades who desire to participate both the programmes
may book the return tickets accordingly.
4.
Associate membership to AIPEU-GDS (NFPE)
The Federal Secretariat held on 21.5.2012 has accorded the status of
associate membership to newly formed AIPEU GDS (NFPE). The General Secretary
has also requested all the Divisional Secretaries/Circle Secretaries seeking
their co-operation in formation of branches at all levels.
Since the fresh verification of membership in GDS cadre is offing and
notification for that effect may be issued at any time. It is realiably learnt
that the recognition to the office bearers has not been accorded to the AIPEDE
union due to the vertical split in the All India Conference and there is every
possibility of another Membership verification at any time. It is our prime
need to strengthen the organisation which is associated with NFPE and declared
to work under the guidance of P3 leadership right from Divisions to All India
level.
All Divisional/Circle Secretaries are requested once again to extend
full cooperation and unstinted support to the newly formed AIPEU GDS (NFPE).
With greetings,
Comradely yours,
(K. V. Sridharan)
General Secretary
