An early action is requested.

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 SECONDWEEK OF MARCH 2016.

C] DHARNS IN FRONT OF ALL DIVISIONAL OFFICES DURING THE 2ND WEEK OF APRIL 2016.

D] EVEN THEN THE ISSUES ARE NOTSETTLED INDEFINATE HUNGER FAST FOLLOWED BY STRIKE WILL BE DECIDED BY NEXT CWC.     












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.
