Dear Comrades,
Everything depends on moods and tastes?
We have no alternative
General Secretary’s
Desk
This is a work
paper relating to proposed
Indefinite strike
from 17.1.2012
Dear
Comrade,
HAPPY NEW
YEAR TO ALL OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS
Not often -
but inevitable
The JCA has
issued a Clarian call for indefinite strike from 17.1.2012 demanding to stop the
implementation of Mail Network Optimization Project and settlement of assured
charter of demands placed during July 2011 strike. You may think why this call
has been given again within a short span of six months. This may perhaps, be due
to the sufferings you are experiencing at field levels in organizingthe members
for strikes very often.
Abundant
confidence
The Postal
JCA deferred the indefinite strike in July 2011 with the hope that the
commitments given by the Secretary, Department of Posts herself and also
recorded everything in the minutes will be honoured in true spirit. But what
happened? Except few, many major items are under still cold storage. In the
meantime, the Department declared that it is going to implement the L1 & L2
proposals in toto unilaterally in the staff side meeting. What is option
available then for the JCA except to launch struggles against this move?We are
optimistic about our organizational strength that struggle programmes are not
new to the Postal employees as they had the history of conducting various
strikes including many one days in the C. G. Employees movement after 1968 and
also having the spirit for spontaneous action, alertness, awareness and
preparedness available in abundant for any action including local struggles
against injustice in the grass root level leaders.
Consultancy
or conspiracy!
Why we are
objecting the L1 & L2 scheme? First let us clear that we are not against any
modernization. But modernization shall not pave way to dislocate staff and cause
impair to the service. The proposal of L1 & L2 is not fully related to
modernization also. The Postal department, earlier appointed a foreign
consultancy called KPMG by incurring crores of rupees as consultancy charges and
we don’t know the fate of its recommendations and
report.
Recently,
the Department appointed Mckinsey as consultancy service. Whether the Mckinsey
consultancy is the lowest bidder! Not at all! It is jus 12.66 crores of rupees.
With exorbitant charges, it was appointed as consultancy service. What is the
need to make it as consultancy service for such exorbitant rates? No one knows
what is behind the curtain.
Notorious
for privatization of Government Services
If you go
through industry insight of Mckinsey, you can find the following:
-
“Postal
Express and Parcel Services”
“In
addition to new technologies and systems, globalization, deregulation and
privatization have been the key drivers of change in the post and express world
over the past two decades;Numerous Postal companies have successfully navigated
the path of privatization from state monopolies to become listed companies.We
support our clients as they position themselves to meet regulatory requirements
and accompany them on the road to successful
privatization.”
Not magic
figure/only arithmetic without survey
No
ex-aggregation. The above are taken only from their website.The Department has
taken Mckensey not only for offering suggestions but also of its implementation.
The members of McKensey have behaved more than that of the Chief PMGs in many
places resulting with sporadic struggles in AP, Karnataka &Tamilnadu
circles. There after they were restrained. The Department first issued orders
for closure of 9797 (magic figure) post offices in urban areas. This is not the
figure arrived by collecting statistics on the basis of financial viability or
work load justification. Just it was based on the mathematical calculations as
per the suggestions of the consultancy service.
Deviating
from social obligation
The
Department introduced ‘Speed Post hub’ and centralized the speed post traffic.
There was a hue and cry in case of intra circle mails. High court of Himachal
even criticized badly on this centralization. But the officers at the helms of
affairs stated that these intra circle mails are negligible mails and we are
concerned only for business. Really surprising! Whether the postal service is
deviating from the path of social service? Eventhough it was agreed to open
intra circle speed post centers, the Chief PMG/PMGs are reluctant to implement
the orders of the Directorate.
Whether
Chief PMG or above DG?
The Chief
PMG, Maharashtra Circle has constituted an internal committee for making
recommendationson ‘how to reduce the deficit”. The committee recommended for
immediate down gradation of 39 single handed post offices as BOs and down grade
549 single handed offices available in rural areas as branch post offices. The
remaining 349 offices in urban, 117 post offices shall be merged immediately
with the nearby offices and the remaining offices will be downgraded/merged
after exercising the establishment review.
The
commitment
The
Secretary, Department of Posts in the recorded minutes issued on 6.7.2011
assured interalia: -
“Regarding
closure/merger of post offices, the staff side requested that whenever there is
a closure of a PO, there should be simultaneous relocation of PO in the new
emerging areas etc. The view point of the staff side was agreed
to.”
Is
agreement absurd?
Then how
can be this contradiction? Whether the Directorate instructions,as stated on
27.12.2011, circulated during August 2011 not exhibited the same spirit of the
minutes? If so what is the action proposed to be taken against the Chief PMG
Maharashtra circle who proposed to close down all the 898 single handed post
offices in his circle unilaterally as if poses himself higher than the
Secretary?
Really no
teeth or enactment of Drama!
The same
Chief PMG has closed down two sorting offices resulting in 10 days strike of RMS
employees of Maharashtra Circle during November 2011. Despite the Department
advised him not to close down those offices, he did not care and refused to
budge. The Directorate in the recorded minutes assured that there will be no
victimization, FR 17 (a) etc.; whereas charge sheets, memo for issue of FR 17
(a) and all repressive measures have been
unleashed.
If the
Directorate has no teeth to control such lower officers, then what is the need
of Apex level office and discussions and agreements with unions? If no, is it
the drama enacted to befool the unions? If the same epidemic spreads to other
circles what will be the position? Will it not be nip in the bud
itself?
Very firm
to deteriorate the services!
Member
(operation) has almost declared on 27.12.2011 in the talks that he will
implement the L1 & L2 despite our protest and will review after some years.
How can we allow the L1 & L2 in RMS which will hamper the efficiency of
Postal services and lead the extinction of RMS.?
The Staff
side raised many apprehensions about the quality of mails processing which have
not been kept for creating L1 & L2 and also the projects lack of the
following three parameters.
i)
It is not beneficial to
customers.
ii)
Operative cost will be
more, compared to earlier.
iii)
Lead to dislocation of
staff and leading to ultimate closure of L2
offices.
The Staff
also explained in its letter dt 07.12.2011 about the impracticability in
introduction of L1 & L2 in many places. The proposal is nothing but to
centralize the sorting work at one place and accumulate the staff to that place
and later to introduce the Automatic sorting machines for sorting
work.
AMPCs –
nothing but white elephants
Now let us
discuss about the AMPC functioning at Mumbai & Chennai. Both are while
elephants and causing loss in crores to the department every year. The following
is the version of the Chief PMG, Maharashtra circle and not of the
JCA/us.
“At
present, a sum of Rs. 72,84, 864 is being spent annually for maintenance and
electricity charges of the AMPC machine. Besides this, a sum of Rs. 10892064 is
being incurred as establishment cost. There would be a saving to the tune of Rs.
1,81,76,928/- per annum, if AMPC unit is merged with, APSO,
Mumbai.”
The
Reality
When the
department desires to introduce two more AMPCs at Delhi, Kolkata and later on at
all L1 offices, the above is the statement of an officer about the loss incurred
due to AMPCs. In Chennai, the AMPC is not at all functioning and it is under
condemned conditionsand the mails received at Chennai Central/Egmore are back
routed to AMPC (20 kms. away) just to show some statistics and bringing back to
same Central/Egmore for transmission instead of sorting there
itself.
Whimsical
introductions – resulting loss
Already
experienced AMPCs become white elephants and causing losses to the exchequer of
the department, how can we allow introducing machines in all stations. Let them
first prove that the machines provided earlier are worthy and purposeful. We
should also remind how the officers in Postal are working out new schemes
without minding the loss.
(i)
There is no consultation
in the board and everything based on the desirability of the individuals who are
holding position and there are more
sycophants.
(ii)
The introduction of air
freighter carrier caused loss to the tune of 300 crores. Not only that, back
routing of mails to provide sufficient loadsled to irreparable damage to the
department due to delay in delivery. Finally it was dropped. It is pertinent to
mention that the same lower level officers who were responsible for the 300
crores loss are now advocating the L1 & L2
vigorously.
(iii)
For Videshi MO, the soft
purchased exceeded crores. What is the revenue?As learnt, so far, 39 MOs to the
revenue around Rs. 4000/- which cannot be equated to the extent of 1% with the
expenditure for launching the scheme.
(iv)
Introduction of VSAT was
a great failure.
(v)
Loss incurring in BNPL
articles due to return article & non realization of revenue
etc.
Chootu kool
– the tip of the ice burg
We can cite
many business activities which resulted in financial loss. For instance, in
Maharashtra Circle Chotukool of Godrej was marketed for higher cost than the MRP
(MRP 3740/- but in Godrej Website it is Rs. 3250/-) and out of 7169 sold, 5654
were sold to GDS; 857 were to Departmental employees & only 658 were sold to
Public. Is it real marketing to deceive& cheat the lowest paid GDS Agents by
offering loan with interest from societies? The Chotukool loads were carried
through MMS vans for which the department has been served with notice by the
revenue authorities. All the marketing targets lead to exploitation of
employees. Can anyone deny this bare factor?
Compromise
– not possible
Under these
circumstances, where is the guarantee that the formation of L1 &L2 will
enhance the quality of service. It will deteriorate further. The staff will be
dislocated and the service will be hampered. The staff side could not compromise
these aspects and that is the main reason for reviving the deferred strike with
a short period of notice.
Determined
negative position against GDS
Let us
discuss the other issues we notified in the strike charter. The following are
the assurances given in respect of the most exploited GDS
cadres.
(i)
Cash handling points for
BPM for fixation of TRCA will be reduced to 10,000/- from 20000/- within a
week.
(ii)
Fresh proposal will be
sent to MOF for revision of bonus ceiling on
GDS.
(iii)
Protection of TRCA will
be provided in the same stage in case of reduction of
work.
But what
happened? The internal finance in the Directorate has simply turned down the
files and the assurances were gone to wind. We again discussed the same with
Member (P) on 27.12.2011 for which she replied that she cannot give any
assurances in these issues. Discussing the same issues again and again and
taking different positions by the officers in each time frustrates us.
No relief
to bereaved family – they are GDS
The
department has issued orders for fixing norms for compassionate appointment for
GDS in which 25 points have been allotted for Graduation for consideration. Is
it having any sense? Whether the wards in distress in rural areas could be
expected to complete graduation when the minimum qualification in fixed as
matriculation for GDS appointment. For GDS appointment under compassionate
grounds 50% marks is compulsory; resulting in many wards could not get their
fair chance. The earlier orders to provide job immediately after the demise of
the GDS as a social obligation to the bereaved family by relaxing the condition
are brushed aside and the benefits extended earlier to the family of the
deceased poor GDS are restricted or deviated.
Half
century old provision for GDS freezed in toto
In respect
of Postmen Recruitment Rules, 25% has been allotted to direct recruitment from
open market. It was 100% over 50 years and this has been freezed due to personal
ego of some officers who don’t want to see the plight of poor GDS possessing
more skills & qualifications.
The 25%
recruitment among the GDS on seniority basis has been thrown down. This was
assured to consider by the Secretary herself during the meeting held in July
2011. Now Member (P) on 27.12.2011 is stating that is not possible since the
department desires to inject direct recruits from open market. Till date, we are
saying the postmen recruitment as direct recruitment quota only and not as
promotion to GDS. The assurances to provide norms for NREGIS work has not been
compiled with so far.
Everything depends on moods and tastes?
From the
above, it could be evident that all the assurances made during July 2011 in
writing in respect of the most downtrodden GDS have taken back by subsequent
officers. Thus anything is not certain and depends upon the mood and taste of
the officers who are at helm of affairs at
present.
Denial of
dues & Deprivation to casual labourers – only in
Postal
It was
recorded in the minutes dt. 06.07.2011 that for the casual labourers engaged
prior to 1993, it was agreed to settle their case for payment on prorate basis
within one month and post 1.9.93 cases will be taken up with MOF for settlement.
Whether it is honoured? Not at all! A committee has been constituted and now it
is told that after the receipt of the report, it will be considered. The Staff
side is not consulted or provided a chance to represent in such committees. It
is only the Postal department that the prorate wages as per sixth CPC has not
been extended to casual labourers and contingent employees. The assurances to
appoint the contingent workers as GDS and also to provide chances for their
absorption in GDS vacancies have not been implement so
far.
OTA or
pittance for extra work
In all
other Central Government department, the OTA rates have been revised with new
nomenclature. Railways revised the rates. Defence enhanced the rates. The
remaining only operative section, the postal Department has not taken any
efforts either to revise the rates or formulate new methods for compensation in
lieu of OTA. It is most unfortunate that meager OTA ordered earlier are being
recovered by applying the ceiling. In Haryana circle, one RMS Supdt has issued
FR 17(A) notice for non-performance of OTA.Where are such provisions? Absurd.
The department is not carrying out with any concrete decision to arrest such
menace even in the meeting held on 27.12.2011.
JCM –
Conciliation to avoid confrontation – But here confrontation seeking
conciliation
As per the
JCM Schemes, meeting should be held once in three months but not later than six
months and periodical meetings should be held separately with each union once in
four months. But there is no meeting regularly held. Over six years, no
periodical meeting is held. Only one departmental council meeting was held in
August 2010. Even the assurances given in the meeting are not being implemented.
The following are the few examples: -
(i)
Counting of special
allowance for pay fixation in case of PO & RMS Accountants – Despite the Law
ministry has given opinion that it is not a fit case for filing SLP against
Karnataka High court decisions and also our repeated requests, the Department is
seeking the opinion of circle heads. The file is still under
consideration.
(ii)
Discontinuing the
practice of obtaining fidelity/security bond from employees handling cash&
also SPMs – Despite 5th CPC has recommended for this, the same is
pending years together. The officials are unnecessarily paying premium to credit
societies every year a huge amount towards premium for renewing fidelity
band.
(iii)
Protection of pay of
defunct scale of PO &RMS Accountants – we are demandingthe application of
Directorate order No. 2-2/88-PE-I dt. 1.12.1992 issued in favour of Sri. Natha
Singh in Punjab Circle for the similarly situated persons. But no decision has
been taken yet on this issue.
(iv)
Arbitrary and forcible
allotment of Quarters in Rajasthan Circle.
(v)
Non supply of statement
of balance to the official brought under New Pension Scheme
2004.
(vi)
Non grant of special
allowance to unqualified Accountants.
(vii)
Enhancement of financial
powers of HSG I, HSG II & LSG
Postmasters.
(viii)
Recovery of alleged over
payment of Pay & Allowances to Postman on account of fixation from the
officials working in Accounts branch.
(ix)
Tenure posting of
officials in single & double handed post offices & remove the
restriction posting of SPM due to minor penalties/CR
entries.
(x)
Enhancement of honorarium
for engaging officials in departmental
examinations.
(xi)
Allowing to appear the
physically handicapped officials for IPO
exam.
(xii)
Transfer of all HSG I
posts to General line.
(xiii)
Revision of cash
Allowance to the SPMs handling cash in the absence of Treasurer & grant of
Treasury allowances to all posts irrespective of their position after the grant
of MACP promotions.
Most of the
issues cited above are still in processing stage only even after the lapse of 15
months. The delay over year causes resentment.
Is cadre
restructuring – A mirage in Postal
The
proposals for cadre restructuring have been discussed more than six to seven
times but no minutes were issued so far. The position is still under the initial
stage. The Secretary assured in the minutes that it will be formulated before
31.8.2011. What are the reasons for such lethargy? Is it not their
responsibility to take serious note in this staff welfare? The Sixth Pay
Commission stated to finalise the cadre review proposal by the department
itself, but even after the lapse of 5 years, there is no move to this direction
in respect of our cadres.
Clear
injustice and cheating
Member (P)
while discussing the demands on 27.12.2011, stated that it is not possible to
create separate cadre for system Administrators, as they are only PAs and now in
all Post offices, the PAs are becoming the trouble shooters.We recorded our
objections. Then Secretary praised the services of these officials at the time
of extracting work from them. Without spending a rupee the modernization in
postal to the present extent could be achieved due to their tireless and tedious
work. After sucking their blood, instead of recognizing their services, they are
now sidelined.
Committee –
to consider or deny?
A separate
committee consisting of three DDGs was constituted to consider the proposals. We
don’t know what the fate of the committee is. In the last cadre review
meeting,it was discussed and agreed for the carving outthis cadre with higher
promotional posts. If the department now declines to consider this case, how can
we allow?
No time!
Very busy! Mckensey is on the door!
The Postmen
committee headed by Ms. KalpanaTiwary General Manager, MB is still not met and
the madam is very busy in implementing the proposals of Mckensey anyhow in
postal despite all odds and consequences. All their problems are undressed.
Their issues like combination of beats,double duty, harassment in project arrow
offices, distance factor, number of articles, Grant of cycle allowance without
distance conditions, good quality uniforms, revision of norms etc. have not been
taken for consideration and all are under the cold
storage.
All
centralisation – But here decentralization!
The only
major demand of the Administrative union to stop decentralisation of PLI and
RPLI and save DPLI has not been taken due note of and the rapid decentralisation
has already taken off without providing any man power or required infrastructure
to operative staff in POs. The similar is the situation in respect of Postal
Accounts & civil wing and their genuine grievances are not attended so
far.
Lost
identity – continuous denial of dues
The only
demand of the SBCO to declare it as divisional cadre has been out rightly
rejected by the member (P) on 27.12.2011 even though it was assured to consider
during the July 2011 talks. The genuine demands of drivers who cannot be equated
with staff car drivers due to their recruitment condition of requirement of
heavy vehicle licence and shall only be equated either with railway or defence
are not being met with justice. The same condition prevails to Artisans &
charge hands in MMS.
20 years
demand – Not for outright rejection
Member (P)
out rightly rejected the demand on RTP to consider their service for MACP
promotion on 27.12.2011, instead of taking up the cases with nodal ministries.
Similarly the issues required clarifications on MACP are also dealt with routine
manner instead of considering the genuine plight of the
officials.
Importance
of Accounts – How can it be explained!
Member (P)
is of the opinion that there is no need for separate APM Accounts & others.
The importance of Accounts and the role of Accountants in all dealings have to
be explained once again. That is the fate of the
unions.
Reminding
black emergency days to catch ‘Aadmis’ for family planning
The
assurances made in July 2011 to permit the Postmaster Grade I officials to
appear IPO/Group ‘B’ examination has not been honored yet. There is no clear cut
decision on this even after five months. Our demand to fill up all LSG, HSG II
of HSG I Posts before implementation of postmaster’s cadre by relaxing the
conditions has not at all been considered.
No! No! –
you are similarly situated Persons!
The request
to apply the Supreme Court judgment on RRR Candidates of Tamilnadu circle to all
the similarly situated persons has been turned down by Member (P) on
27.12.2011.
Contributory negligence – Democle’s
sword
We demanded
to issue a clarificatory orders to arrest the menace of misuse of contributory
negligence factors against innocent officials as the instruction issued in July
2011 is totally insufficient and not covered all the following important
points.
(i)
Non adherence of DG’s
order dated 09.07.1959
(ii)
Violation of Directorate
orders dt. 30.11.60 & 10.02.1975
(iii)
Non observation of
Appendix 4 of FHB vol. I.
(iv)
Violation or Rule 204 (A)
(1) Vol III – Honest errors can be
condoned.
(v)
Violation of Rule
137-Recovery from retired officials.
(vi)
Violation of Rule 106,
107 & 108 Vol III – Extenuating factors should be given due
weight.
(vii)
Violation of Directorate
orders dt. 8.10.63 – Minor mistakes in discharging duties to be
condoned.
(viii)
Violation of Dte. letter
dated 29.11.2000 about Rule 11 (iii) of CCS
Rules.
Misuse of
powers! Not at lower level! By the power at Apex
level
There is
total misuse of Contributory negligence factors. APM (Accounts) &
Accountants who have not obtained declaration at the time of 5th CPC
are being ordered with recovery to the extent of 7 to 8 lakhs in each case. How
can it be justified? The Chief PMG, MP Circle & Chief PMG Tamilnadu
clarified about fixation of postman pay by taking two advance increments for
each case. Whether the department will initiate action against them to recover
the whole amount from them for issue of such clarifications in respect of their
circle? If the department did not like to waive the over payment, it would have
filed SLP in the Supreme court against Principle CAT orders and this is nothing
but absolute misuse of this provisions.
Minus
Balance – major threat
In many
circles recoveries under contributory negligence on SB minus balance are being
ordered without initiating any action to recover the amount first from the
depositors. Before finalizing the minus balance, whether the unposted items have
been cleared or not? Not at all! Just by hook or crook the responsibility is
being fixed on anyone’s shoulder! No norms! No ethics! The suggestion of the CHQ
to adjust them under UCP and initiate action to recover the amount from deposit
which was discussed in the last July 2011 meeting also has not at all been
considered!
Curbs in
trade unions – topsy turvey actions against rules at circle
levels
This is
another serious development in recent days in many circles in curbing the trade
union activities at circle level.
When Sri.
B. BhagwanDass Member (D) clarified vide his letter No. 8-1/2001-SR dated
7.2.2001 that FR 17 (A) can be imposed only in cases of incitement, instances of
violence and sabotage etc.
Whereas,
the same is flouted in many circles and the circle heads are running amuck with
their own views.
(i)
In Punjab circle,
Jullendhar division, the officials availed EL/MC from 24.5.2011 to 26.5.2011 and
also for two or three days suffix/prefix were awarded Dies non with the
presumption that they would have been attended Dharna at Chandigarh organized by
the Postal JCA on 25.05.2011
(Where is
the provision?)
(ii) For participation of strike on 7.9.2010, All
India strike more than 500 GDS where awarded with FR 17 (A). Is it not violating
the Directorate orders cited above? Similar is the case in Pune
RMS.
(iii) In Mumbai City West division, the SPMs who
have already given their declaration about their participation of strike on
7.9.2010 and the ASPOs replied that he could not make any arrangements were
proceeded with Rule 16 charges. The SPOs punished them with censure. Now the DPS
reviewed and issued notice to 28 Officials to enhance the punishment from
censure to withholding one increment for 24 months and awarded the same to one
official at first. The DPS charged that the official should have come to control
room and deposit key on 7.9.2010. Is there any such provision to deposit the key
in the rules without handing over the charge to other? How can it be violated
the Rule? Is it not absolute misuse of disciplinary powers and excessive action?
When the strike on 7.9.2010 was not declared as illegal, whether such
proceedings will meet justice. When these were brought to the notice of
Directorate,it remains as mute spectators.
Unbridled
horses – silent spectators at
The above
are the real facts and nothing exaggerated. Under these circumstances what will
be the option available to unions to ventilate their grievances. Even assured
demands are not honored and diluted what is the remedy available for us. When
all the circle/divisional heads and PTC Directors are taking law on their hands
to penalize the officials for no reason, how we can shut our
eyes.
We have no alternative
The Postal
JCA after elaborating all these issues and facts have decided to go ahead with
the preparation for the indefinite strike from 17th January
2012.
Therefore
it is our fervent appeal that all our circle secretaries/divisional secretaries
shall rise up to the occasion and organize the workers for the total
participation of officials in the ensuring strike.
