Good Friday




AN INSPIRING MEETING WITH OFFICIALS
WORKING IN POSTMASTER’S CADRE

It was a rousing and bright day on 16th April 2014 when officials working in Postmaster’s cadre called upon Circle Secretary and proposed that all of them in Gujarat Circle desires to come under one umbrella of All India Postal Employees Union Group ‘C’. They informed that most of them are already member of AIPEU Gr.’C’ but few are members in other unions and they all desire to be united under our union to ensure that their problems and pains are given appropriate hearing and representation.

A meeting was held at Lal Darwaja PO on 16th April 2014 evening which was attended by most of the officials working in Postmasters cadre working at Ahmedabad. Mainly Com.N.K.Nayak SPM Lal Darwaja, H.K.Bhattacharya SPM SA Roza, V.V.Purohit SPM Saijpur Bogha, M.R.Parmar SPM Naroda IE, K.K.Paynikar RPM Rajpur Gomtipur, R.C.Panchal SPM Isanpur, D.G.Rathod SPM Sola HBC attended the meeting.

Com.M.G.Dulera Circle FS, Dinesh Patel President P3 Ahd City dn., N.D.Patel DS P3 Ahd City Dn and other office bearers Com.C.M.Nayak, V.W.Cristian, Malli and others also attended the meeting.

All officials working in Postmaster’s Cadre discussed about problems faced by them and expressed that most of them are members of AIPE Union Group ‘C’ but if any official is member of any other union, all will first of all become united under banner of AIPEU. They also discussed about few problems about non preparation of Gradation List by C.O., ambiguity in names of offices identified for posting of officials of PM’s Cadre, their postings at distant offices and need to retransfer them to parent divisions as and when possible etc.

Circle Secretary also discussed at length about all features taken in discussion together with promotional avenues and inclusion of various points to be taken up before 7th Pay Commission through a Memorandum to be submitted by the CHQ and Federation.

All officials filled up required forms for becoming members of AIPEU Group C and it was promised that they will contact all officials of Postmaster’s Cadre in whole Gujarat Circle and if any official is not a member of AIPE Union Group ‘C’, they will manage to ask them to become member and resign from other union before 30th April 2014. All active members should take this task in their hand to enroll new members.

 The Circle Secretary greeted and welcomed all and assured for all co operation to them.

As a beginning a letter has been addressed to CPMG Ahmedabad today which is also placed here.

This is a good beginning and it is surely half done. Circle Secretary appeals all Divisional Secretaries to enroll new members as many officials as possible before crucial date i.e. 30.4.14.



ALL INDIA POSTAL EMPLOYEES UNION GROUP ‘C’
Gujarat Circle

No.CO/PMCadreII/Vadodara/14.15                                                           Dated: April 16, 2014

To,
The Chief Postmaster General
Gujarat Circle,
Ahmedabad 380 001

Subject:

 Request for causing equality in approach and adherence to Directorate orders for implementing orders of posting of PO HSG-I Generel line cadre to the cadre of GCS Group B (Non-Gazzated) Poastmaster Grade-III on regular basis.

Reference:
C.O.Ahmedabad Memo No. STA 44-22/PM/Gr.III/2013 dated 27.8.13 and R.P.Vadodara Memo No. STA/2-32/PM Gr III dated 03.09.13.

Respected sir,
I bring to your notice that four officials have been posted to the cadre of GCS Group B (Non-Gazzated) Poastmaster Grade-III on regular basis vide R.O. Vadodara orders dated 3.9.13 based on C.O. Ahd orders dated 27.8.13. Para 6 of the order itself reads as under:

‘As provided in the Directorate Comm. Option for Postmaster Cadre once exercised is final and no reversion to the parent cadre is permissible’

Official at Sr.No.1 has not been relieved so far by the administration of R.O. Rajkot. On our informal  submissions during last bimonthly meeting it was informed to us that the official has represented to the Directorate and therefore not relieved!! This is not a convincing state of dealing with such cases in a casual manner. In all over our Gujarat circle all officials in Postmaster cadre has been forced to go and resume at the place of their posting in view of same instructions of the Directorate which equally apply to this order and said official. Submission of a representation cannot justify non relief of the official. Unequal and partial favour to one and force to follow Directorate’s instruction in cases of others is not fair and  judicious. If in one case a relief arrangement is stopped only on ground of a representation of the official to higher authority, same benefit will be sought for by all other similarly situated officials in the Circle.

It is therefore urged to ask concerned administrative authority to adhere to the Directorate orders and implement the said order without any pretext and set example of equality in administrative action.

With regards,

Yours faithfully

ALL INDIA POSTAL EMPLOYEES UNION GROUP ‘C’
Gujarat Circle
No.CO/PMCadre/Gradation list/14.15                                                       Dated: April 17, 2014

To,
The Chief Postmaster General
Gujarat Circle,
Ahmedabad 380 001

Subject:
Circulation of Gradation list of Postmaster Cadre officials of Gujarat Circle and Circulation of list of offices identified for Postmasters cadre in Gujarat Circle.

Respected sir,
There has been a demand of concerned employees to represent following problems:

1.     Gradation List of the officials of PM Cadre has not been prepared so far though a period of two and half year has passed. It may be prepared and circulated at the earliest.
.
2.     There has been a lot of discrepancy in the names of offices identified for Postmaster Cadre Grade I and II as observed in information sought for under RTI by some officials. For making a clear picture, a list of offices identified for the purpose as on today may be circulated.

3.     In Gujarat Circle, so many posts remain vacant due to declining of the promotion after passing examination! Statistics of last examinations may be referred which would show huge number of candidates passing the examination and then declining. It is because of postings at distant places. In original orders also it was recommended by the Directorate to post them to the offices of choice as far as possible. Unfortunately there are so many posts remaining vacant. A positive review of the position may be undertaken and it may be considered to post the officials at their choice places as far as possible.

4.     Few officials in first posting orders had to resume at the offices of posting at distant paces and on application, they were replied that their requests would be considered on passing of new candidates in future. Actually no request for posting back to parent division has been considered so far. It is requested to keep this aspect into consideration as and when feasible as assured.


Urging immediate action on 1 and 2 above,

With regards,

Yours sincerely

RASHMIN PUROHIT
Circle Secretary
