RESOLUTIONS
PASSED IN THE 1ST AIC OF OUR UNION HELD AT BADNERA[ MAHARASTRA] FROM
27TH TO 28TH DEC 2015ON THE PROBLEMS OF CASUAL. PART TIME, CONTINGENT & CONTRACT
WORKERS OF THE POSTAL DEPARTMENT.
RESOLUTION-1.
The first AIC of AIPCPCCWF HELD AT
Badnera[ Amravati] Maharashtra from 27th to 28th Dec 2015
discussed all the problems faced by the casual, part time contingent and
contract workers of postal department and following decisions are taken.
1.
The AIC expressed its sincere thanks to NFPE for the
cooperation extended in settling the problems of casual laborers particularly
the revision of wages with effect from 01-01-2006. Without the intervention and
struggle conducted by NFPE this would not have settled. Even though clear
orders are issued by the directorate to revise the wages of casual laborers
either part time or full time on the basis of pay band and grade pay of
erstwhile Gr’D’ ie. PB 5200+ GP 1300+ corresponding DA from 1-1-2006, in most
of the postal circles the same is not being implemented and arrears are not paid.
in Andhra and Kerala circles , circle level agitation programmes are organized
along with NFPE and the CPMsG issued orders for payment basing on the
clarificatory orders issued by the directorate without giving any room for any ambiguity.
Still in many circles, the circle/divisional administration is not ready to
make arrears payment w.e.f 1-1-2006 as ordered by the directorate. This 1st
AIC demands the postal board and circle/ regional/divisional administration to
implement the directorate orders in all divisions and revised wages and arrears
wef 1-1-2006 may be paid to all without any further delay.
2.
Even though there are clear orders to regularize the full time casual labor
who worked for 240 days in a year and part time casual labor who worked for 240
days a year for two years and various courts including SUPREME COURT delivered judgments including the judgment
in UMADEVI Vs KARNATAKA STATE still these orders are not being implemented in
many circles. Further as per the MTS recruitment rules 25% of the vacancies are
to be filled by full time or part time casual labor that was also not being
implementing in many circles/divisions. This AIC demands the postal department
to take immediate action to regularize all casual, part time and contingent
employees working in the postal department in a time bound manner.
3..In some circles the
outsiders [not GDS] working as substitutes in the vacancies
of postmen/MTS are not
being paid pro rata wages of postman/ MTS. this AIC demands that all substitutes [whether GDS
or out siders] working in the vacant posts should be paid pro rata wages.
Further it is demanded that the substitutes may be paid all benefits such as
transport allowance, HRA etc. on prorate basis.
4.All
present daily rated mazdoors [DRM] working against the departmental posts are
not being paid the wages of the departmental employees. This AIC demands that
all DRM working in the departmental posts shall be paid pro rata wages of the
post in which he is working.
5.This AIC
demand that the benefits of EPF/ESI/PENSION shall be extended to all casual,
part time contingent and contract workers, working in the postal department.
6.
This AIC demands that as and when Dais declared and implemented
for departmental employees , revised DA from the same date should be paid to
all casual, part time contingent employees also without waiting for any further
orders from directorate.
7.
While fixing the working hours based on the standards
for sweepers and other PTCL the minimum working hours should be fixed as 3 hrs
per day. If the duty hours exceed five hours the post may be converted as full
time and the official working in that post may be treated as full time casual labor.
8.
This 1st AIC demands that SUNDAY and
holiday wages should be paid to all casual, part time and contingent employees,
who work continuously for six days in a week. The beak coming on account of
holiday should not be treated as a break when six continuous working days are
taken.
9.In spite of clear
modificatory orders from directorate that those casual, part time and
contingent employees who are working should not be terminated and their work
should not be out sourced, some of the officers [e.g. SSPO’S AMARAVATHI DN,
MAHARASTRA,NAGPUR REGION] are issuing orders terminating the services of casual
labor. This AIC DEMANDS THE AUTHORITIES TO STOP SUCH INHUMAN PRACTICE and
reinstate all casual laborers whose services are irregularly terminated.
This first AIC of AIPCPCCWF held at BADNERA further
resolves that:
In case of all the above mentioned demands of casual,
part time, contingent and contract workers are not settled by the postal board
before the end of January 2016, the following agitation programme will be
organized in a phased manner.
PROGRAMME:-
A] MASS DHARNA INFRONT OF POSTAL
DERECTORATE DURING THE 2ND WEEK IF FEB 2016.
B] DHARNA IN FRONT OF ALL CHIEF PMG

OFFICES DURING THE 2ND WEEK OF APRIL 2016.
D] EVEN THEN THE ISSUES ARE NOTSETTLED

RESOLUTION-2:-
This 1st AIC of AIPCPCCWF
held at BADNERA from 27th to 28th Dec 2015 while thanking
the National JCA for including the demand of regularization of casual and contract
workers also in their charter of demands submitted to Govt. calls up all casual
and contract workers of the postal department to make all the agitation
programmes of NJCA including indefinite strike a grand success.
RESOLUTION: 3
This 1st AIC demands the postal
department to extend the facility of formal meetings with officers of the
department at all levels to our federation which represents 46000 casual
employees in the department to discuss and settle the issues of casual ,part time, contingent and contract
workers which will result in better functioning in the department.
RESOLUTION: - 4.
This AIC in session express our anxiety
and displeasure over the developments happenings in our country which spoil the
social harmony, plurality and threat to our unity and integrity posed by the
communal forces in our country. In the name of religious and cast
discrimination brutal killings are reported from many parts of the country.
Communal violence is taking place and the poor helpless persons are being
targeted in these violence. This AIC demands the present GOVT. headed by Sri.
NARENDRA MODI JI to intervene in the matter and take steps to stop such violence
immediately so that peace and fraternity could be restored and in maintained in
the country.
RESOLUTION: - 5.
This AIC notes that the intolerance is
developing in our country and the writers, scholars, educationalists and great
historians are targeted by the communal fundamentalist forces and brutal
killings and tortures were taking place in our country. We condemn such anti
national and anti social activities of the communal fundamentalist forces and
demand the central and state governments to take stringent action to stop such
actions of intolerance. Further some communal fundamentalist forces are
dictating what should be included in our food items and what should not be.
Violent killings were taken place. Instead of keeping silent the Hon’ble
PRIME MINISTER is demanded to intervene
in the matter and take action to stop such intolerance developing in the
country.
RESOLUTION:- 6
This AIC demands that the policy of NDA
govt. on corporatization and privatization should be reversed and public sector
may be given importance in our national economy and thereby employment
opportunity may be increased which will help to reduce the problem of
unemployment and help our economy to a great extent. We also demand to stop
selling of shares of public sector units and govt. maintained institutions
tomultinationals and national corporate houses.
RESOLUTION:-7. :- ON GDS RECRUITMENT:
This AIC unanimously demands immediate
intervention of Postal Directorate and issue instructions to all the circles
resorting to the ongoing recruitment process of GDS undermining the orders of
the directorate to first exhaust the list of eligible casual labor for the
recruitment to GDS posts [e.g. TAMILNADU CIRCLE except Tambar am Dn] to stop
the process immediately and follow the directorate orders strictly. The Postal
Directorate issued orders vide. Lr. No. 17-15/2015-GDS dated 7-5-2015 addressed
to CPMG Karnataka circle and endorsed to all circles. Many divisions are going ahead
to fill the vacancies ignoring the above orders. This AIC resolves to urge upon
the Directorate to intervene and cause to stop the irregular process against
the orders of directorate and ensure implementation of directorate orders
strictly in all circles/ divisions.
THIS AIC ALSO DEMANDS THE DIRECTORATE TO
MODIFY THECONDITION OF 10TH CLASS PASS COMPULSORY FORABSORPTION
AGAINST GDS POST FOR CASUAL LABOUR, AS THISIS NOT REQUIRED FOR GDS MM, PACKER
AND OTHER POSTS. AS SUCH WE DEMAND THE DIRECTORATE TO RELAX THAT CONDITION SO
THAT NUMBER OF CASUAL LABOUR WILL GET THE CHANCE FOR REGULARISATION.
RESOLUTION: - 8.
This AIC demands the directorate to
circulate the orders issued by the directorate vide its lr. No. 65-24/88-SPB-1
dated 17-5-1989 clarifying who is casual labour. Many circles /divisions are
violating these instructions and denying revised wages and arrears from
1-1-2006 stating that they are not casual labors. This AIC demands the directorate to reiterate the
orders once again to avoid confusion in the circles/ divisions and all
PTCL/FTCL will be paid revised wages with arrears.
RESOLUTION:9
This AIC demand the directorate to
redeploy the GDS posts transferred to postal divisions from RMS divisions’
earlier due to proposal of abolition of GDS posts in RMS. Now orders are issued
to restore the GDS posts in RMS and fill those posts. In this back ground if
these posts are not diverted back to RMS divisions the casual labor working in
those divisions will be deprived of their legitimate right of absorption. As
such we demand the directorate to issue orders to retransfer those posts to RMS
immediately and fill up those posts from the eligible casual labor of that Division.
RESOLUTION :- 10
This
AIC OF AIPCPCCWF held at BADNERA [MAHARASHTRA] from 27th to 28th
Dec 2015 unanimously resolved to join in all programmes of campaign and
struggles including strike conducted by CENTRAL TRADEUNIONS JCA.
