KRISNAN, GS CONFEDERATION AND OUR PRESIDENT participated in the DHARNA.
After the DHARNA a delegation with com. R.N. PARASAR, SG NFPE
met member [p] and submitted memorandum. He assured to examine the issues
positively.
After wards MASS DHARNA was
conducted IN FRONT OF ALL CPMG OFFICES ON 22-3-2016.now as a further action it
was decided to conduct DHARNA INFRONT OF ALL DIVISIONAL OFFICES IN THE COUNTRY
ON 10-5-2016.
As such we appeal to all circle/Divisional secretaries of NFPE unions to organize the
programme by taking initiative to mobilize casual labour in large number by
issuing notice by divisional co-ordination
committee.
Without the support and solidarity it will not be possible to
organize the programme on their own by casual labour.

MEMORANDUM
SUBMITTEDTO SECRETARY, DEPT.OF POST ONTHE PROBLEMS OF CASUAL. PART TIME, CONTINGENT
& CONTRACT WORKERS OF THE POSTAL DEPARTMENT ON 9TH FEB
2016 AFTER MASS DHARNA.
Respected
Madam,
We are submitting this memorandum on the problems faced by the casual labour
working in the department since long time without any regularization even
though number of times orders are issued by the department to regularize this
low paid workers and apex court and various courts delivered judgments in
their favor.
In this connection we convey our sincere thanks for issuing clear orders for
revision of wages of these workers with effect from 1-1-2006. Though orders are
issued in number of circles arrears are not paid to those workers. We request
the madam to issue instructions to all circles to pay them arrears without any
further delay.
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.
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. We
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.
All present daily rated mazdoors [DRM] working against the departmental posts
are not being paid the wages of the departmental employees. We demand that all
DRM working in the departmental posts shall be paid pro rata wages of the post
in which he is working.
We 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.
We demand that as and when DA is 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.
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.
We demand 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 break coming on
account of holiday should not be treated as a break when six continuous working
days are taken.
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.
we demand 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.
We demand 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
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.
We
ALSO DEMANDS THE DIRECTORATE TO MODIFY THE CONDITION 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.
We
demand 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.
We
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.
