Agitation and
Indefinite Hunger Fast
To,
The Secretary (P), Department
of Posts,

New Delhi-110001
Subject : Notice of Agitation
under Trade Union Act-1 of Section 22
of Industrial Dispute Act
1947
Respected Sir,
The below mentioned Agitation
Programme will be made in protest of non-settling of demands mentioned in
Charter of Demands enclosed with this letter.
Programme of Agitation
1. Wearing of Black Badges throughout all Post Offices by
all our Members of NUPE Postmen & MTS Group C w.e.f. 01-02-2017 to
03-02-2017
2. Demonstration in front of all Circle Offices throughout the
Country by our members on dt. 07-02-2017.

4. Indefinite Hunger Fast in front of Dak Bhawan by General
Secretary and all CHQ Office Bearers w.e.f. 07-03-2017
We are compelled to chalk
out this agitation programme; because of unhelpful attitude of
Administration at all level right from Directorate to Division.
We are constantly writing
letters for settlement of demands of Postman and MTS staff but no any action
is being taken by Administrative officers.
We have asked for a meeting
for Postman MTS issues but it was not given. It is therefore clear that now
Administration forced us to go on Agitation it seems.
Thanking you,
Encls.: Charter of Demands
Yours Sincerely

Draft of Charter of Demands
Charter of Demands

A (i) In

Result were declared and near above 2400 candidates were recruited/posted. 356
candidates joined duty, then CPMG issued Stay Order for posting/joining and
then on dt. 25-11-2016 declared that examination be cancelled and those
356 staff should be removed from service without even one months notice. We

Union requested grant Stay for cancellation

25-9-2016 examination were held but again the same irregularities are found and
FIR are lodged for copying, bogus candidates appearing on false name;
leakage of question paper before 2/3 hours of examination start time. We
have written letter No. NU/P-IV/Recruitment Exam/Postman, Mailguard/2016
date 10-10-2016 requesting not to cancel the examination but make
vigilance/police enquiry but innocent should not be suffered they should get
the job.
(iii) In MP Circle
at almost all Divisions the candidates from Haryana were declared
passed. We have already brought it to your notice. The said examination was
held in 2016 for posts of 2009 to 2014 and for year 2015, 2016 examination
conducted by company. We request for enquiry by VO and police CBI and
those innocent may not be suffered; and examination may not be
cancelled.
(iv) Guilty
candidates will be discovered in investigation by VO, Police and CBI Enquiry
and action can be taken against company and faulty officer those
have done this irregular conduct of examination.
B Request
for taking proposal of 100% recruitment of Postmen, MTS cadre from existing
MTS, GDS and Casual Staff and stop Outside Recruitment from Open Market.
(i) Recruitment
of 75% MTS in India Post should be made from GDS and 25% from open
market direct recruitment.
(ii) Recruitment
of Postman Mailguard 100% should be made in India Post from MTS and GDS
Staff.
(iii) We request
that as per prior to 27-01-2011 change in recruitment rules of Postman MTS
should be made.
(iv) Examination
for recruitment of Postman MTS should not be conducted through company, but
should be hold by CO, RO or at Division level and this decentralisation

C Request
for holding a Special Examination for Promotion to Postman & MTS Cadre from
MTS, GDS and Casual Labour Staff for filling up unfilled vacant post of 2009 to
2014, 2015 and 2016.
We would like to bring it to your kind notice;
that you know better that since year 2009 the posts of Postmen, MTS are not
filled from direct Open Market Quota.
Only in AP Circle Department has conducted the examination and recruitment
is made. In Rajasthan Circle though examination is held but due
to huge irregularities; the matter is under investigation.
In other Circles the matter of holding
examination was given to some company, but there also heavy irregularities
occurred and resulted into cancellation of Delhi Circle process of examination
and recruitment. In Maharashtra Circle, the Vigilance Enquiry is on and
police enquiry is also Ordered; and therefore that may also be cancelled.
In all since year 2009 to 2011 and 2012 to
2016 the 100% recruitment of Postman and MTS is not made on all vacant posts.
We request that a Special Examination for
recruitment of Postman for the year 2009 to 2011 should be taken. 100%
vacant post should be filled from the GDS and Casual Labour as per the 2010
and 27 January 2011 Recruitment Rule.
Also since 2012 to 2014 and 2015 to 2016 all
vacant post till date are not filled with Direct Recruitment Open Market so
all vacant post be filled from MTS, GDS and Casual Labour Staff; and those
who pass in that Special Examination may be recruited as Postman. This
examination may be conducted by our Department our Union will help at all
stage/level to conduct this Special Examination by our Department itself.
We request to examine our proposal in the
interest of staff and Administration
2. Regarding
Abolition of Posts 2005 to 2008, 2/3 direct recruitment quota.
We request that those posts of Postman MTS should
not be abolished instead of that higher level post be abolished of same
expenditure.
Your Kind Honour, know better that cities are
being expanded by multistories buildings; even a small town changed in a city
due to heavy increase in population whereas Postman strength is as per year
1975 and 1979 establishment. During 2000 to 2005 thousands of Posts of Postman
MTS are already abolished.
Now if again the posts are abolished it will cause
to defame and demoralise the Department in the eyes of common man because of
down services standard.
We therefore demand -
(i) That ADR Plan
2005 to 2008 Posts of Postman MTS should not be abolished and higher post may
be abolished to meet the expenditure of those posts.
(ii) In India Post
25000 posts of Postman are needed as additional justified posts.
This item is pending in DC, JCM. But Sir, now
Amazon Parcel Service, Nodal, Speed Post, newly IPPB Bank; to success those
schemes we are in need of manpower. We therefore demand that number of Post of
Postmen staff should be increased in maximum. This is need of hour.
3. To instal x-ray machine for checking the content of COD Parcels.
We have already made correspondence and given in
detail the difficulties arising at the delivery point when contents are
not found with addressee.
We therefore demand for supply of x-ray machine
at par with Railway, Airport even at Dak Bhawan to enable Postman for
delivery of fake articles of COD to stop defamation of Department and
Staff.
4. Issue
of Orders from Directorate for fixation of Postman Pay as 3050 w.e.f. 1-1-1996
as per Supreme Court decision of 23rd April.
The Supreme Court directed for grant of 3050/- scale from
1-1-1996 instead of 10-10-1997. Directorate called the information. In fact,
India Post establishment is of 52000 Postman but actually 25000 to 30000
postman are working; it means 30000 Postman are working against 52000 Postman
and Government is in benefit of crores of rupees and not paying the salaries of
those 20000 to 22000 posts those are unfilled.
We therefore demand that fixation of Basic Pay Rs.
3050/- w.e.f. 1-1-1996 should be Ordered with arrear payment.
5. Fixation of Pay of Full Time, (Other than Temporary Status) Part
Time Casual Labour and Contingency Paid Staff w.e.f. 1-1-2006 and Payment of
Arrears.
We are very sorry to bring it to your kind notice that since last
2 years the Orders issued from Directorate is not being implemented. We
have written so many letters, even this was one of the demand in last Agitation
Program of Postal JCA. But only assurance was given but till date payment is
not effected.
We demand that a time should be framed to each and
every Divisional Head for fixation of pay w.e.f. 1-1-2006 with arrear payment.
Failure to this should be faced with strict action against him. We request for
issue of strict Orders.
Respected Sir, Casual Labour pay should be fixed
according to post, and those employees who were working since on or after
1-1-2006 or are still working should be given new pay since 1-1-2006 alongwith
the arrears. Therefore it is requested to please issue Orders that Casual Labours
should be given new pay since 1-1-2006 alongwith the arrears within the
suitable time frame.
6. Deduction
of GPF of TSCL Staff and those absorped as MTS/Postman from TSCL Cadre enrolled
under Old Pension Scheme.
The deduction of GPF
should be made from salary of TSCL Employees and those absorped as
MTS/Postman from TSCL cadre; they should be enrolled under old pension
scheme. We demand immediate implementation of Orders.
7. As
per 4-11-2013 Order Para 5 and 6.2 the grant of MACP by ignoring TBOP/BCR.
No any Division has
implemented the Orders issued from Directorate; though number of clarification
issued from your Office.
We request that one day training of all Circle
Head and Regional Head be arranged at Dak Bhawan.
And they should hold one day training class of all
Divisional Heads at Circle. Region Office and they should be fully explained
about implementation of above Orders of fixation of MACP by ignoring
TBOP/BCR.
The 5th CPC scale has been upgraded by the 6th CPC
Scale. Therefore their TBOP/BCR should be ignored and MACP should be given
w.e.f. 1-9-2008 (next GP + 3% Increment).
In our Department the 6th CPC scale has
upgraded the 5th CPC scale of Postman/Mailguard and MTS cadre only. For
example in 5th CPC scale the MTS were getting Rs. 2550/- which has been upgraded
to Rs. 2750/- in 6th CPC. The Postman/Mailguard were getting Rs. 3050/- in
5th CPC scale but the 6th CPC Scale has upgraded the scale to Rs. 3200/-.
This Order is still not implemented. Inspite of completing
3 years, refixation of payscale of Postman/Mailguard and MTS has not
been done. It is requested to please issue Orders immediately.
They should be given a time margin within
that this should be implemented and failure will have to face the
consequences.
8. To
lodge FIR against the company who conducted Direct Outsider Quota (Postman/MTS) Recruitment Examination for
year 2009 to 2014 and also initiate CBI Inquiry.
(i) In
Maharashtra Circle in year 2015 one examination for recruitment in
Postman/MTS was conducted through one private company for year 2009-2014. The
result was declared and vide letter No. Rectt/2-DR-A-IV-Corr/2016 (Para I)
dated 10-6-2016 given stay on said letter by the Chief PMG, Maharashtra
Circle.
(ii) Sir, in the
same cases of Delhi there are incidences of dummy candidates found. Many
other irregularities came into light and accordingly they are curbed. But
mainly in Delhi case no action is taken against the Company, but spared
it. Union brought into light of Administration. The examination is cancelled
but after a lapse of 3 years the action for the recruitment is not done. No
any action against the said company.
The examination was conducted again on
25-9-2016 but again many irregularities were found. Some candidates got the
answer sheet 2 hours before the exams. 8 Police FIR were filed.
(iii) In MP also
the exams were conducted in the year 2016 but same irregularities were found as
in Delhi and Maharashtra.
(iv) Sir, according
to my knowledge, there are same things happened in the Haryana, Rajasthan and
other Circles. I have personally contacted in some cases there are 15 dummy
candidates amongst 17 candidates seen in Camera.
(v) In said
Examination, some dummy candidates appeared it is learned. The marklist/Certificates
are also bogus one.
There may be big scandal of money in this
recruitment. There may be involvement of some of the officers at higher
level.
Sir, taking consideration of the above aspect
my Union strongly suggest to initiate following action of higher level to
curb the culprits of all the level and ranks.
To lodge FIR against the said company at
the earliest. And investigation to be done by the CBI regarding this
company.
Whatever expenditure is incurred by
the Department for the said examination to be recovered from the company.
Whoever are involved in the case, whether
directly or indirectly, the officer be initiated suitable action as
there should no any dare to do such things in future.
9. Request
to discuss long pending problems in West Bengal Circle, NUPE Postmen & MTS.
The following problems of Postmen and MTS Group ‘C’ of
West Bengal Circle which could not be settled from Divisional end to Circle
level are mentioned below for your kind notice. As the cases could not be
solved years together, I have no way but to bring your kind notice for early
solution,
Though the problems are taken with Regional PMG
and CPMG in Bi-monthly and Four monthly meetings; but nothing has
been done at this level.
(i) Inspite of
heavy work load of postmen, many posts of Postmen are being abolished by
different IPOs, ASPOs or SPOs or SSPOs unreasonably. The matter was brought to
the notice of Circle level but no action has been taken till date. As for
example, a letter addressed to the PMG is enclosed herewith for favour of your kind
perusal.
(ii) Speed Post
Incentives are not being paid year after year inspite of specific Order of Dte.
The matter was brought to the notice of the concerned Divisional Heads but no
fruitful result has been observed since 2007. As a result, the low paid
employees are deceived and aggrieved. As for instance a copy of Minutes of
Bi-monthly Meeting between PMG (Kol Region) and Representatives of this Union
is enclosed for favour of your kind perusal. Detailed discussion may be made on
the date of appointment. At the time of discussion, many instances may be
produced.
(iii) Vacant posts
of Sorting Postmen in West Bengal Circle are not being filled up since long. It
is said that the posts of Sorting Postmen have been abolished. But it has been
observed that the posts of Sorting Postmen are being filled up in all other
Circles except West Bengal Circle. I request you to kindly look into the matter
so that the posts of Sorting Postmen in West Bengal Circle may be filled up
according to vacant posts.
(iv) Lack of
infrastructure in delivery branch : It is forced to secure 100% delivery
though the delivery articles are given for delivery in late hours (at about
2.00 p.m.) and there is lack of infrastructure in delivery branch.
(v) To stop
duty of Postmen in every Sunday and Holiday : It is directed to perform
duty for delivery of articles in Postmen Cadre in every Sunday and Holiday
though it was not existed before. It is requested to immediately stop the Order
regarding delivery of articles in every Sunday and Holiday.
(vi) The Postmen
are facing on difficulties at the time of delivery of COD. The addressee is
opening the cover in front of Postman and the Postmen are harassed by not
paying the requisite money when the addressees do not get their expected documents
inside the envelope and even the Postmen are attacked in different ways. The
matter was brought to the Circle level for arrangement of proper security of
Postmen at the time of delivery of COD but no action has been taken on the
matter till date.
As the matter could not be solved till date,
I am obliged to bring the matter to your kind notice. It is requested to take
the necessary action in the matter from early solution of the problem.
(vii) Medical Fund
is too insufficient to meet the medical bills of all the staffs of the
concerned Divisions. Even the sanctioned medical bills could not be paid due to
want of fund. As a result, some of the staffs who have been paid Medical Bills
and deprived. To maintain uniformity, it is requested to kindly increase
medical funds as early as possible.
(viii) Personal
claims like Medical Bills, T.A. Bill, LTC Bill etc., are not being cleared
timely. As a result, the staffs are aggrieved and this problem could not be
solved years together. It is requested
to kindly look into the matter so that the personal claims may be settled very
soon.
(ix) Arrangement of
Ladies toilet and cloak room for lady employees is immediately needed. The lady
employees are using the toilet of gents employees and even they have to stand on
queue with the gents employees for using toilet which is most shameful.
(x) The
residential postal quarters are required to be repaired immediately. The
quarters are too damaged to reside. Though the residents of quarter are not
paid HRA and License fee is being deducted also but necessary repairing works
of the quarters are not done at all. Inspite of repeated urge, the Circle
Authority is behind in the matter. So I am obliged to bring the matter to your
kind notice so that the residents of quarter may get minimum facility to reside
inside the quarter.
(xi) Periodical
meetings are not held at regular interval. As a result, the problems could not
be discussed and solved year after year. As a result, the employees are
aggrieved. It is probability to outburst their grievances at any time. To avoid
such type of uneasy incidents. I request you to kindly give your necessary
instructions to all the levels so that the periodical meetings are held
regularly. Your kind intervention in the matter is solicited.
The above mentioned problems are the only
instances of different other heaped problems. I want to discuss the problems on
your table face to face
Yours Sincerely
