SUCCESSFUL VISIT OF CIRCLE UNION AT SEVERAL OFFICES OF BARDOLI DIVISION AND ATTENDANCE IN VARIOUS MEETINGS AT OTHER DIVISIONS

During 4.7.13 to 6.7.13 Circle Secretary, headed by Com.SKVaishnav Circle President, visited various offices of Bardoli division.

It was informed to us that 7-8 senior members had submitted application for voluntary retirement and the actual reason was to save themselves from undue pressure and humiliating treatment by the administration side. It was also informed that few young comrades were dissatisfied due to heavy shortage of staff, threats and pressure by administration and they had shown displeasure in writing to the divisional secretary.

We visited so many offices of Bardoli division despite heavy rainfall, met senior comrades, discussed on various aspects, assessed the situation, had staff meetings at various offices including at Bardoli HO, heard our members and finally prepared a memorandum on various problems of Bardoli division.

There were few cases of unjustified recovery of big amounts ( in lacs) from staff. 

We met SP Bardoli division and discussed various items of general interest at length in friendly atmosphere and with positive approach.

It is pleasant to note that there were petty points of misunderstanding each other's feelings and lack of appropriate communication. Almost all the problems were positively dealt with by the SP Bardoli and staff side was also satisfied with the affirmative response. It is more pleasant to note that all senior comrades agreed to withdraw their notices for voluntary retirement.

We also advised divisional office bearers not to make personal/individual cases as prestige issue and fill up gap of communication with the administration.

Before proceeding to Bardoli division, we also met PMG Vadodara and had informal discussion on problems of Valsad as well as Bardoli division. I am glad to put here that the PMG had a cordial hearing in the informal meeting and resolved few problems of Valsad division on the spot. 

In the informal meeting with PMG Vadodara Com.SKVaishnav Circle President, Com.SMPatel Asst.CS and DS , Com.CDThakor Supreme Councillor  and Com.JARathod Asst Circle FS accompanied Circle Secretary and joined discussion.

Agenda for the next bimonthly meeting of Vadodara region was also prepared and handed over to the office.

A letter authorizing Com.Shubhash M.Patel Asst. CS for making correspondence with R.O. Vadodara was also written up and given at R.O. Divisional Secretaries of Vadodara region may consult Com.S.M.Patel  (Mob.No.94280 68090) for minor items to be taken with regional administration.

The Circle Secretary fell ill with acute fever for constant 21 days following this tour program in rainy season. Therefore this information could be posted late. Now health is OK to run more and more with your blessings and good wishes.

After returning from this tour program, we attended Divisional Conference of P-4 union of Ahmedabad city division on 7.7.13 at Bapunagar IE Post Office. Com.Natubhai Parmar was re elected as Divisional Secretary. 

CS also visited Rajkot to attend Dharna program. A special visit of Jamnagar division was also arranged with an intention to meet our comrades to rejuvenate trade union movement in Jamnagar division. Jamnagar is one of the strongest branch of our union but since few months our office bearers are resting. We had a very purposeful meeting of executive members and worked out a program to have staff meetings at this division.

CS also visited Circle Conference of AIPAE Union at Circle office Ahmedabad on 28.7.13. A young comrade Apurva Kadia has been unanimously elected as Circle Secretary of All India Postal Administrative Employees Union. We greet him and convey best wishes for striking performance. Circle Secretary in his speech, requested members of AIPAEU to join various agitational programs without fail.
