Subject:- Items for the Periodical Meeting with Secretary (P).
            The following items of AIRMS & MMS Employees Union Gr.`C`  are sent herewith for inclusion in the agenda for the periodical meeting with the Secretary (P).
1.         FIXATION OF NORMS FOR CRCs, EPP, LOGISTIC AND SPCs ETC.
            The productivity norms for CRC were fixed as 900 articles per 8 hour duty or 120 RLs per hour based  on the Work Study . The Staff Side have not accepted these  productivity norms as it is impossible for  the staff to give this output as 80% of work has to be done manually and more than 50% are received without bar coding under R.Net System . More over increasing output on TBOP/BCR promotion was against the agreed norms. The question of higher productivity  of 5% and 1% required on account of TBOP/BCR was against the agreed norms during November, 1983 and 1991, 6% operative staff strength and 20% supervisory posts were abolished. D.G. Posts vide letter No. DG P&T No. 31-28/83-PE-I dated 17-12-1983  has envisaged that the posts in operative and supervisory cadres will continue to be sanctioned on the basis of present norms i.e. as per Maratha Time Test.
            In view of the JCM agreements the productivity norms  of 900 articles per 8 hours prescribed by the Department  is arbitrary . We would therefore, urge upon the Department to refix the norms which is feasible in consultation with the Staff Side.
2.         STOP PRIVATISATION/OUT SOURCING  :-  Reports have been received from various circles that indiscriminate closer/merger  and abolition of RMS sets/Sections , MMS Schedules engagement of outsiders  etc. are being carried out  without following any norms and diverting the respective services to private service providers. All these  on going  processes would render staff surplus. We would therefore, urge upon the Department of Posts to engage  Postal/RMS/MMS staff for all activities of Postal services.
3.         PROVIDE ADEQUATE MOTOR VEHICLES FOR CONVEYANCE OF MAILS/LOGISTICS ETC AND FILL UP VACANT POSTS IN MMS.:-  Provide adequate Motor Vehicles for conveyance of mails/logistics. Replace all condemned  vehicles, impart sufficient computer training to the technical staff to deal with modern power vehicles, insure MMS Vehicles, finalise Recruitment Rules for Assistant Manager of MMS. Fill up the vacant posts of Manager, Assistant Manager, P.A.,Drivers, Artisans in MMS which are lying vacant since long.
  Yours sincerely,

Subject:- Re-organisation of sets of Kochi Sorting Air  

Respected madam ,

           It has been intimated by the JCA of Kochi Sorting Air that orders have been issued to abolish night sets of  Kochi Sorting Air w.e.f. 12.6.2012 without any discussions and taking the staff side  into confidence. It was assured in the meetings  on Charter of Demands that before abolishing /merging any office /set Staff Side will be taken into confidence. This is totally a breach of agreement.

          Re-organised sets of Kochi Sorting Air will function from 6.00 hrs to 14.00 hours. Most of the staff of Kochi Sorting Air especially women employees are residing in the suburbs of Kochi City. No transport facility is available in the early morning. More this reorganization will delay the mails. Resentment and discontentment among the staff is simmering and they may be forced to take trade union action.

          JCA has proposed the following working hours of the sets  of Kochi Sorting Air:-

Unit                                                             Timings

Kochi Sorting Air /1                                       10.00 hrs to 18.00 hrs
Kochi Sorting Air /Sub –set                                      13.45 hrs to 21.30 hrs
Kochi Sorting Air/2                                        18.00 hrs to 6.40 hrs.
(with reduced staff strength)

We urge upon you to kindly intervene into the matter and direct CPMG Kerala Circle to withdraw the orders on re-organisation of sets of Kochi Sorting Air and consider the proposal submitted by the JCA.

 With Regards.
Yours sincerely,


(Giri Raj Singh)
General Secretary
