Most concerned issues of PAO
Conference has taken note of the most important issues which were not given attention by the authorities in spite of taking up them many times by the CHQ. Due to ban on recruitment in Sorter cadre, the Gr.D comrades who have passed the Sorter exam could not get the promotion neither as Sorter or LDC due to block of promotional channel created by the above said ban. The anomalies caused because of the promotion under Seniority cum fitness quota to the junior Gr.D officials direct to the LDC cadre leaving the senior most Sorters in the lurch are creating serious heart-burn. The much sought after cadre re-structuring has not got the attention of the higher ups. With the agreement of 13th July strike the demand was conceded and a committee constituted with a time frame for the postal cadres. We have demanded the constitution of the similar committee by our PA wing for which the DDG (PAF) agreed. CHQ will be paying utmost attention to this aspect and use its all sources to get promotional avenues as well as higher pay scale to our Sorter, LDCs and DEOs through this cadre restructuring. Conference passed resolutions to this effect. Copies of the same will be made available to you soon.
AIPAEA has taken a stand and addressed a letter to the authorities requesting them to ensure to maintain reservation quota at Circle level for SC/ST employees for promotion to the AAO cadre both in PAO and DOT; not by pooling reserved vacancies at central level. Otherwise justice will not be done and many comrades will be deprived of their chance at circle level. This issue will be pursued.
The issue of amalgamation of Group-C cadres with DOT, restoration of Member (Finance) post in the Postal Board and bringing all streams of accounting cadres under him will be high on our agenda.
Regularization of mass casual leave on 8th April’ 2010 was taken up with DDG (PAF) and the same was agreed. Orders are expected soon. Sorter promotion anomalies, diversion of vacancies to Group-D promotional quota, implementation of Group-B status to Sr. Accountants were also discussed with the DDG (PAF) and favourable orders are expected.
A provisional list of All India Seniority of Senior Accountants has been prepared to enable to implement the AAO promotion under SCF quota on regular basis. Many discrepancies are noticed in the list and rectification of the same requested. Circle Secretaries are requested to bring the above said list to the notice of all our members; any discrepancies, if found, may be pointed out.
All the PAOs are reeling under the acute staff shortage. There is an urgent need to go for immediate recruitment. CHQ has taken up this issue with the DDG (PAF). All the Circle Secretaries should monitor the accuracy of the vacancies arrived by the Administration.
Award on parity taken to the Parliament for rejection
The award on parity has been taken to the parliament against all the canons of justice and principles. The JAC has reviewed the entire situation and immediately reacted by giving a protest program. Leaders of Opposition parties and other important MPs are contacted on this issue. Our Conference moved a resolution signed by all the delegates and the same was submitted to the Hon. Speaker and Chairman of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha through Shri.Basudeva Acharya, M.P.
He also moved an amendment to the proposed resolution of the Government to refer it back to the Government for acceptance. As we are all in the middle of AIC at New Delhi , the JAC call for lunch-hour demonstrations could not be observed by our units. It is requested that all the units must hold lunch-hour demonstrations for three days from 24th August to 26th August, 2010 and send the resolutions as directed by the JAC. JAC circular is enclosed. It should be noted that for us parity is not mere monetary matter, it is the issue of principle of honouring the Arbitration Awards and upholding the JCM scheme by the Government of India apart from maintaining Parity with Central Secretariat Assistants.
New team is introduced to the Authorities
Immediately after the successful completion of the All India Conference, the new Office Bearers i.e. General Secretary, President, Deputy General Secretary, Vice-President and C/S Banglore along with Com. P.Rajanayagam met Shri. P.K. Sinha, DDG (PAF), Shri. Rajinish Kumar, DDG (Finance), Dr. Brijesh Singh, Director (PA AdmnI), Shri. Subhash Chander, Director (SR) and other ADGs.
President, General Secretary and Com. P. Rajanayagam also met the Advisor (Finance), DDG (FEB), Director (SEA) and other officers in DOT and stressed the need to enhance SCF quota, finalize the R.R of AAO cadre, formulate Transfer & Posting policies, quicken the issuance of order allowing ad hoc promotion of Sr. Accountants in the AAO cadre of CCA offices and hold AAO exam at an early date.
Departmental Council meeting on 27th August’2010
Com. P.Rajanayagam will attend the Departmental JCM meeting and our items in the agenda will be discussed. The name of the newly elected General Secretary will be nominated by the NFPE in due course.
September 7th – the historic nationwide strike
You are all aware that the entirety of the working class under the aegis of Central Trade Unions, viz. AITUC, CITU, HMS, INTUC, UTUC and Unions/Associations/ Federations of Central and State Government employees, have collectively taken a decision to lodge a strong nationwide protest against the spiraling price-rise and the anti-worker/employee /people policies of the Government. Confederation of Central Government employees and Workers endorsed the strike call. Our Federation is mobilizing the postal employees. It is our bounden duty to participate in the strike and make it a grand success. All the members should be made aware of the fact that the Government is moving ahead to bring amendment to Post office Act to take away the monopoly of the Postal Department. Out-sourcing and privatization is increasing in the postal department including the Postal Accounts. No recruitment is taking place in PAOs. The Department has not dropped the decentralization of Postal Accounts from its agenda. A Committee has been formed to examine the various issues involved in this process, under the Chairpersonship of Ms. Hilda Abraham, Chief PMG Orissa circle along with the Senior Officers of PAO. On the face of all these hostilities Postal Accounts employees cannot afford to remain aloof from the main stream of the Postal and other Central Government employees. Hence, it is our priority to ensure cent percent participation of our members in the ensuing nationwide strike. The copies of strike notice served by the Federation, Charter of Demands and Confederation circular are enclosed for wide publicity and mobilization.
Developments in the Court Cases
The case before the Principal CAT, New Delhi with a prayer ‘to treat the S.A promotion as a mere up gradation within the same cadre and hence not to be counted as promotion for the purpose of ACP Scheme 1999’ has come up for hearing on 20th August’2010 and in the absence of Gov. Pleader, the Hon’ble CAT directed our Council to file a representation on the judgment in the similar case at Mumbai CAT which was in our favour. The other case on the ACP anomalies, viz. stepping up of pay, will come up for hearing on 30-08-10.
