Shri A. N. Nanda,
Secretary,
Department of Posts,
Dak Bhawan,
New Delhi - 110001
Sub: -
Inordinate delay in settlement of the long pending
problems faced by the Postal and RMS employees.
Sir,
For
the last two years we have brought the following burning
issues of the
Postal and RMS employees including Gramin Dak Sevaks and
Casual
Labourers to the notice of the Directorate for amicable
settlement. We
have also discussed these cases several times with the
administration in
the formal meetings and informal meetings. Every time, it
was assured
that immediate action will be taken for early settlement of
the issues
raised by us. But we are sorry to state that other than
repeated
assurances, the things have not moved an inch forward and
even now the
situation is the same. As a result, most of the important
issues raised
by us remain unsettled and day-by-day more issues are getting
accumulated. Employees at the lower level are the worst
victims of this
situation and their anger and discontentment is growing day-
by-day.
Unless immediate remedial measures are not taken to settle
the issues in
a time-bound manner through negotiation, the situation may
go from bad
to worse.
The following are the issues pending settlement at
Directorate level.
1.
Filling up of all vacant posts in all cadres of Department
of Posts
i.e. PA, SA, Postmen, Mailguard, Mailmen, Drivers and
Artisans in
MMS,MTS, PACO, PASBCO, Postal Accounts and GDS.
2. Implementation of positive recommendations of GDS
committee Report. Grant of Civil Servant status to GDS.
3. Membership verification of GDS and declaration of result
of regular employees membership verification.
4.
Stop all types of harassment and victimization in the name
of new
schemes and technology induction and under contributory
negligence
factor and Trade Union victimization.
5. Payment of Revised wages
and arrears to the casual, part-time, contingent employees
and daily
rated mazdoors as per 6th& 7th CPC and settle other
issues of casual
labourers.
6. Stop Privatization, Contractorization and outsourcing.
7.
Implement cadre Restructuring for leftout categories i.e.
RMS, MMS,
PACO, PASBCO, Postmaster Cadre Postal Accounts etc. and
accept the
modifications suggested by Federation before implementation
of cadre
restructuring in Postal Group ‘C’.
8. Provision of CGHS facilities to Postal Pensioners also as
recommended by 7th CPC.
9. Withdraw NPS (Contributory Pension Scheme). Guarantee 50%
of last pay drawn as minimum pension.
10. Implement five days week working for operative staff in
the Postal department.
As
a responsible organisation, we have been extending full
support and
cooperation to the administration, in running the department
in a most
efficient manner and also for induction of high technology
and
increasing the revenue and productivity. But we regret to
note that it
has become a one-sided affair and the top level
administration has
failed to reciprocate the positive attitude shown by the
employees.
The
Federal Executive meeting of National Federation of Postal
Employees
which met at New Delhi on 12.05.2017 has viewed with grave
concern the
situation prevailing in the Department of Posts. The meeting
has come to
the inescapable conclusion that we can no longer be taken
for granted
by the administration, if the genuine and legitimate demands
of the
employees are not settled in a time bound manner through
negotiations.
The Federal Executive meeting further decided to organize
following
phased programme of action culminating in strike, for
realization of the
demands mentioned above.
Phase- I - Mass Dharna in front of all Divisional
offices.
Date - 20.06.2017
Phase - II - Mass Dharna in front of all Circle/Regional
offices.
Date - 12.07.2017
Phase - III - Mass dharna in front of Postal Directorate,
Dak Bhawan, New Delhi.
Date - 26.07.2017
Phase IV - One day nationwide strike on 23.08.2017 (Formal
notice of the strike will be served later.)
We
once again like to make it clear that we want to avoid a
confrontation
with the Administration and earnestly hope that the
Secretary,
Department of Posts, shall come forward for a negotiated
settlement. On
the other hand, we will be left with no alternative, but to
go ahead
with our agitational programmes as mentioned above.
Awaiting positive response,
Yours faithfully,
(R. N. Parashar)
Secretary General
