BRIEF REPORT ON DEVELOPMENTS OF CASUAL LABOUR ISSUES
After
the formation of union for casual labour with the support of NFPE, because of the pressure by NFPE and our union department
appointed a committee on the issues of casual labour with Manojit kumar the
then CPMG Assam circle as chairmen. After the submission of report by the
committee, again a committee was appointed with Sri. Viswapawan pathi the then
PMG of Hyderabad as chairman to suggest the modalities to implement the Assam
CPMG committee report. Even though we are insisting to implement the DOPT order
issued in July 2006 basing on the Judgment of Honorable Supreme court in
Umadevi Vs Government of Karnataka. Department is reluctant in issuing orders .
The report submitted by PMG Hyderabad was sent to DOPT
for approval which contains some modalities
to regularize the casual labour and
suggestions on wage revision. But DOPT returned the file asking the department
why the orders of DOPT issued in July 2006 were not implemented.
At this stage Department issued orders to implement the DOPT orders recently. But till date these orders are not implemented seriously in many circles. We have to build pressure at circle/Division level for implementation of these orders . If these orders are implemented at least some FTCL/PTCL who are working against a single post for 10 years as on 31st July 2006 will be regularized even though they are recruited irregularly.

In the mean time our Kerala circle went to Honorable CAT for revision of wages of casual labour.
Recently judgment was delivered but kept reserved . it will come out very
soon.As a protest against this abnormal delay and tossing the files from one
department to other one day Dharna was organized by NFPE on 12th
august at Jantar-Mantar Newdelhi.
All general secretaries of NFPE
participated in Dharna .
Inspite of all these efforts the issue of regularization
and revision of wages is not settled in R/o casual labour. Taking this
seriously postal JCA decided to organize programme throughout the country commencing with Dharna
before all divisional officers on 24th September 2014. In the
charter of demands the issue of casual labour was taken as item No 2 which
shows the importance given to it by
postal JCA. The programme will end with INDEFINITE STRIKE in December after
conducting MARCH TO PARLIAMENT in November. The dates will be announced
later. After submitting this memorandum department informed to NFPE that the
casual labour issue will be settled within one month.
To settle all these issues there is no other way except
to mobilize workers and organizing them to make the postal JCA programme
success. Unless casual labour union is formed in all circles/divisions it will
be very difficult to organize them. NFPE issued circular with a direction to
all NFPE affiliated circle unions to take this issue seriously and form casual
labour union in all circles with in three months. We appeal to all circle
secretaries of NFPE unions to take it seriously and form the casual labour
union in there circles so that the unity among the workers will strengthen in
future.
