Re-Verfication of Membership once again! Get ready, orders are expected shortly.

Dear Colleagues,
.
AFTER SUCCESSIVE COURT CASES BY THE BPEF UNIONS FINALLY THE DEPARTMENT OF POSTS IS FINALISING ANOTHER RE-VERIFICATION OF MEMBERSHIP UNDER CCS[RSA]RULES 1993 & ED [RA] RULES 1995.

Discussions are being held by Sh. Subhash Chandr (Director SR & Legal) with FNPO - NFPE - BPEF Federations and all other Unions / Associations on finalizing the procedure for another re-verification.
This time, the Divisional Head will be the Check-Off and Re-verification Authority instead of DDOs as in the past occasions since the plea of the BPEF that DDOs are union members of one of the unions and therefore they cannot be the Authority to verify the declaration forms of members was accepted by the Court and directions given accordingly.
The
submission and verification of declarations etc procedure may end in the month of April and Recovery of subscriptions may be in the pay of May month. Exact Dates and Procedure would be published by us as soon as the DoP issues the orders for re-verification.
Re-verification is a very difficult task and the repeated re-verifications forced on us due to the attitude of the BPEF Unions who do not have even 10% of membership again and again knocking the doors of Courts for stalling the verification process in order to prevent recognition of majority service unions and federations. Yet, we cannot shirk our task - we have to take up the challenge once again to prove that NUPE POSTMEN & Gr-‘D’ (MSC) is the dominant organization of Postal Workers.

Do not get complacent

· Educate the workers against Dual Membership - Tell them it is a shame that more then thousands of employees resort to dual membership in spite of clear instructions by the Department.
· As soon as the Procedure is ordered get into the task of collecting Declaration Forms from employees -
