AIPRPA- AP CIRCLE

WISH YOU ALL OUR VIEWERS A HAPPY & PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR

Department of Posts issued orders to keep in abeyance the orders on abolition of posts for the years 2005, 2006, 2007 & 2008.

      The All India Unions of AIPEU Postman & MSE/Gr.D, AIPEU GDS (NFPE) & NUPE P-IV filed a case in Principle CAT, Delhi (during May 2012) praying not to abolish the vacant posts (DR) of Postman & Gr.D (MTS) of the years 2005, 2006, 2007 & 2008. The Pr. CAT issued stay orders (in OA No.1736/2013) on the issue and now the Department of Posts issued orders to all Chief Postmasters General to keep the orders in abeyance on abolition of posts in the circles.

Copy of order of Department of Posts:
NEW YEAR, NEW HOPES.
WE ARE ON THE STRUGGLE PATH
                   By the time this issue of “Postal Crusader” reaches your hand, an eventful year 2013 will be over and a new year 2014 is born.  From our experience in the past, especially during the last year, we can definitely say that the year 2014 shall be an year of struggle for betterment of the living conditions of the common people of our country and the toiling masses including the Central Government Employees & Postal employees.
                   General election to the Parliament is scheduled to be held in the year 2014.  The ruling class and also the corporate media have started their campaign, well in advance, in support of those who are ready to carry forward the rigorous implementation of neo-liberal globalisation policies.  We have witnessed that when it comes to policy of liberalisation, privatisation and globalisation, both UPA and NDA Government are two sides of the same coin.  Concerted efforts are being made by the corporate media to relegate the issues raised by the working class in February 20,21 All India Joint Strike and 2013 December 12th massive Parliament March to the background.  We should identify our friends and foes from our own experience and shall frontload the working class issues and conduct intensive campaign against those who are in favour of neo-liberal policies and also in support of those who are opposing the anti-people, anti-labour policies of the ruling class.  Remember, in democracy ballot is more powerful than bullet.  Let us use this weapon prudently and discreetly and move forward in our struggle by further strengthening those forces who are continuously fighting against this neo-liberal policies and for the cause of working class. 
                   Eventhough the Government has announced constitution of 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC), the terms of reference and appointment of chairperson etc. are yet to be finalised.  The unanimous proposal on terms of reference submitted by the staff side includes date of effect from 01-01-2014, DA merger, Interim relief, inclusion of GDS, statutory pension to those employed after 01-01-2004, minimum wage as per 15th ILC formula, settlement of anomalies and cashless, hassle free medical facilities.  Now the ball is in the court of Government.  In case the Government deliberately delay the appointment of CPC or reject the terms of reference submitted by the staff side, confrontation shall become inevitable.
                   Postal employees have put up stiffest resistance to the Government’s policy, to privatise the Postal sesrvices by amending Indian Postoffice Act 1898 for granting licence to private couriers, to close down 9797 departmental post offices, to merge about 300 RMS sorting offices and also to continue the ban on recruitment.  Postal department is the only department where mass-scale recruitment and promotion through departmental examinations has taken place.  The united struggle under the banner of JCA has prevented the Government to a great extent from implementing the neo-liberal policies in the Postal Sector.
                   Regarding 7th CPC, Postal employees have every right to get a better deal from Pay Commission and Government.  The pay scales of each category of Postal and RMS employees including Gramin Dak Sevaks should be upgraded taking into consideration the fact that the cadre of PA, SA, Postmen, Mail guard, MTS exchanging mails and clearing letter boxes, Gramin Dak Sevaks are all unique to the Postal Department.  Further IT modernisation project will be rolled out in full swing in 2014 and the skill of the postal employees including GDS in dealing with high technology will be further enhanced.  Due to non-creation of additional posts in commensurate with the increase in workload due to introduction of new schemes and procedures and also due to abnormal delay in filling up of vacant posts, the workload of the Postal and RMS employees have increased manifold and this factor of extra-productivity should be taken into account while deciding the pay scales of postal and RMS employees including GDS.

            Three lakhs Gramin Dak Sevaks and Casual, Part-time, Contingent employees are the worst sufferers of the Postal department.  NFPE & FNPO has already decided to go for indefinite strike, if the Government rejects our demand for inclusion of GDS in the ambit of 7th CPC and revision of wages and regularisation of casual labourers.

            NFPE & AIPEU-GDS (NFPE) had filed a writ petition in the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India praying for implementation of the 1977 Supreme Court judgement declaring GDS as civil servants and grant of all benefits of departmental employees to GDS.  The Hon’ble Supreme Court has ordered the Delhi High Court to consider and decide the case and the writ petition is accordingly transferred to Delhi High Court.  Thus the final legal battle for departmentalisation of GDS has begun and 2014 will be a turning point in the history of GDS
.

            In short, 2014 is going to be an year of struggle and advancement of the working class of India and also the Central Government employees including Postal, RMS & GDS employees.  Let us welcome the new year with a pledge to continue our fight for a better tomorrow.

Resolutions adopted:

1.        Resolution on Pensioners Demands: A resolution on many pensioners’ demands was adopted by the State Conference. It covered among other issues 1) Framing the terms of reference of 7th Pay Commission by the Government with the issue of the Pensioners for protecting the parity of pension between the past, present and future pensioners and that the need for close cooperation between the Pensioners Organisations and the JCM National Council Organisations to ensure inclusion of this issue in the terms of reference; 2) Since the PFRDA legislation adopted by the Parliament is against the spirit of the Supreme court judgment that declared the right to pension as a fundamental right, the anti-worker and anti-pensioner law must be withdrawn by the Government; 3) The Defined Pension Scheme must be extended to all government employees recruited on or after 1.1.2004 and the three lakhs of Postal Gramin Dak Sewaks must also be brought under the Defined Pension Scheme and 50% of service rendered by Casual Labourers should be counted for Pension; for the GDS who are recruited as Postman or MTS should be give full benefit of GDS service for pension; 4) The anomalies between the pension fixation for pensioners and pay fixation for employees by the 6th CPC are to be removed and the National Anomaly committee should come forward quickly to sort out all the pension anomalies arose after implementation of 6th CPC; 5) The action of Central Government in filing a revision petition to contest the verdict of the Delhi Principal Bench of CAT on issues of pre-2006 pensioners after losing the case in all the Courts up to the Supreme Court earlier is retrograde and therefore the Government should immediately withdraw the revision petition and implement the Delhi CAT judgment w.e.f 1.1.2006; 6) The Government should come forward to take the highest pay scale of the different merged pay scales by Pay Commissions for determining the minimum pension to Pensioners; 7) The Government should take a quick decision on the item pending in the National Council for extending the benefit of MACP w.e.f 1.1.2006 for those retired between 1.1.2006 and 31.08.2008 and also to modify the MACP Scheme in accordance with the judgment of Jodhpur CAT for granting the I, II & III MACP in the higher cadre to which the official has been elevated on the basis of ‘Selection’ and not on the basis of seniority-cum-fitness; 8) In the background of revision of percentage of commutation by the 6thCPC, the Government should come forward to revise the period of commutation from 15 years to 12 years keeping the spirit of judgment of Supreme Court to protect the pensioners from incurring heavy loss to the tune of several thousands of rupees; 9) Instead of referring the issue of merger of 50% DA and DR with basic pay / besic pension from 1.1.2011 to the 7th CPC, the Government should come forward to do so before constituting the 7th Pay Commission; 10) House Rent Allowance, Leave Travel Concession, Festival Advance, Right to allotment of vacant Staff Quarters for accommodation should be granted to Pensioners; 11) In the pattern of Tamilnadu State Government a scheme of Pensioner’s Family Relief Fund should be formulated for the Central Government Pensioners also and on the death of a  pensioner the family shall be granted a sum of 1,00,000/- as relief; 12) The adamancy of Government to deny to enhance the FMA to at least of 1200/- per month and enhancing to a meagre amount of 300/- per month in the background of high prices of medicines and consultation fees should be given  up and a realistic stand in commensurate with the market realities on enhancement of FMA should be taken by the Government; 13) The Government’s approach of killing the CGHS slowly and converting the whole system into a system of medical insurance is retrograde; the Government should revise their stand and come forward to establish CGHS wellness centres in all district centres in the country as well as earmark at least one quality hospital in each district for cashless medical treatment to pensioners by expanding the CGHS through adequate budgetary allocations and bring all the desiring Pensioners under the ambit of CGHS without any distinction or discrimination; and 14) The order of the Government for issue of photo identity cards to Pensioners by the respective department should be further liberalised to ensure free issue of identity cards to all pensioners without insisting to bear the cost of identity card preparation; 15) The Government should impelement all judgments in favour of Pensioners without unnecessarily appealing in higher courts and should extend the benefit for all similarly placed pensioners.

In addition to the above resolutions, some more resolutions on pensioners demands were moved by the Delegates in the Conference which are being wetted by the Secretariat of the State Organisation for processing and they will be published later.

2.        Resolution of Organisation: A resolution on ‘Organisation’ was unanimously adopted by the State Conference. This organisational resolution contains three parts viz., to strengthen the All India Postal & RMS Pensioners Association in all districts of Tamilnadu State; to work for strengthening the NCCPA as an organisation of united platform of all Central Government Pensioners Organisations for dealing the issues with the Central Government unitedly including to prepare and present a common memorandum to the 7th CPC;  to work in the direction of founding a Confederation of all Pensioners Organisations of Central Government, State Government and Public Sectors for conducting joint action and for maintaining coordination in the efforts to defend the social security including pensionery right that are under serious attack under the liberalisation regime. In this background this resolution resolved to mobilse hundreds of our postal and RMS pensioners to participate in the one-day Grand Dharna on pensioners issues at Chennai on 18th February, 2014 as per the call and decision of the 4th December All Pensioners Organisations’ Demands Conference. Similarly this resolution hailed the decision of the BCPC / NCCPA to conduct a National Pensioners Convention by all Pensioners Organisations in New Delhi on 24.02.2014 and decided to participate in all such activities of BCPC / NCCPA / Coordinating Committee of Central, State Government &Public Sector Pensioners Organisations of Tamilnadu State.
