31st ALL INDIA CONFERENCE
OF ALL INDIA RMS & MMS EMPLIOYEES UNION GROUP ‘C’ HELD AT PETHAPUR GANDHI
NAGAR, AHMEDABAD (GUJARAT) FROM 21ST TI 24TH JUNE, 2016
POLICY AND PROGRAM RESOLUTION.
1. In-spite
of the reports of recovery there is no improvement in the economic crisis world
over and especially in the capitalist countries. The present crisis is due to
the inherent in consistencies in the capitalist system and its contradictions
have ultimately resulted in the crises. The imperialist globalization policies
had resulted in curtailment of social security measures, aggravation of poverty
unemployment, large scale,privatization, crises in agricultural sector and
industrial sector. The entire burden of the capitalist crises is thrown to the
shoulders of the working class and common people of these countries, including
our country. At the same time resistance and fight against these policies are
also going on throughout the world and especially in India. This 31st
AIC pledges full support and solidarity to the common people and working class
who are fighting against these anti people and anti-labour policies for
protecting the freedom and sovereign city of our country. This AIC also pledges
solidarity with the fighting masses all over the world who are struggling for
establishing an exploitation- less society with the slogan “ Socialism is the
only alternative”.
2. The NDA
Government lead by the BJP which came to power of the 16thLok-Sabhaelection,
has completed two years in office. The slogan “Achhe Din” was given during the
election.But it is proved now that the Govt. stands for the rich and corporate
class and has declared total affinity to the neo-liberal economic policies. Due
to thevigorous implementation of this policies like allowing 100 % FDI in
Govt., Public and private sector including defense, Railways, retail, insurance
and banking, disinvestment of public sector undertakings, privatization and
corporatization of Govt. Department, outsourcing Govt.functions including
health and education sectors. Unemployment is increasing day by day. The land
acquisition ordinance of the Govt. to facilitate real estate sector, was
opposed and defeated by the farmers of our country. To expedite the policies,
the ruling class is trying to divide the people on cast, religion and various
other issues thereby weakening the unity of the working class which opposes
these policies.Various labour laws are amended in favour of the industrialist.
The concept of democracy is diluted and on the other hand autocracy is given
priority by the Govt. in various institutions.
This AIC notes with pleasure that all the central
trade union of the country has come together to resist the neo-liberal policies
of the Govt. In the 2015 September 2, general strike about 15 crores workers,
both organized and unorganized and also various other sections like farmers,
agricultural workers, youths, students etc. participated. In many states the
transport system has come to a stand-still. Central Govt. employees and postal
employees under the banner of confederation of Central Govt. employees and workers and NFPE has also participated in the
one day strike in a massive manner. This AIC salutes and congratulates the
working class of our country for making the strike a thundering success.
3. The UPA
Govt. was compelled to appoint seventh Central Pay Commission after a sustained
struggle under the banner of confederation of central Govt. employees and
workers including NFPE, like one day strike, 48 hours strikes, parliament
marchetc. This time, on common demands of the central Govt. Employees, one
joint memorandum was submitted by JCM (NC) staffside. Regarding postal
sectional demands NFPE and all its affiliated unions submitted separate
memorandums to the pay commission. The JCM(NC) staff side has also submitted a
separate memorandum demanding merger of DA and grant of Interim Relief.. The
JCM(NC) staff side / NFPE and postal JCA demanded Govt. to include three lakhs
GDS also under the purview of the 7th CPC and conducted series of
agitational programmes. The 7th CPC submitted its report to the
Govt., after 21 months on 19th Nov 2015. The report is totally
retrograde and disappointing. The NJCA, the united movement of JCM(NC) staff
side organizations submitted a detailed memorandum to the Govt., demanding
modifications in the recommendations of
7th CPC including minimum wages and fitment formula. The
Govt., constituted an empowered committee of secretaries under the chairmanship
of cabinet secretary to study and submit final proposal to the cabinet.The
empowered committee instead of negotiating with the JCM staff side for an
amicable settlement, held only one meeting with the staff side that too fast to
hear the views of the staff side and no negotiation was held. Aggrieved and
agitated over the totally negative and indifferent attitude of the Govt., the
NJCA decided to go on indefinite strike and accordingly strike notice was
served on 9thJune 2016 and the indefinite strike will commence on 11th
July 2016. NFPE and all, its affiliates
had also served strike notice including the postal sectional demands such as
upgradation of pay scales of various cadres. This 31st AIC calls
upon the entirety of Postal employees, especially RMS & MMS employees, to
conduct intensive campaigning throughout the rank and file workers and make the
11th July 2016 indefinite strike as historic success.
4. In the
wake of aggressive implementation of neo-liberal policies like large scale
disinvestment of PSUs and FDI in all sectors and also amendment to labour laws,
the central trade unions have once again given a call for nationwide one day
general strike on 2ndSeptember 2016. Confederation of CGE &
workers and NFPE being a part and parcel
of the main stream of the working class, has endorsed the strike call. This AIC
calls upon the entire postal employees to make the 2ndSeptember 2016
a grand success.
5. This 31st
AIC after detailed deliberations on the sectional issues of the postal
employees and in particular RMS employees, notes with grave concern the
discrimination meted out to the RMS
employees while issuing the cadre re-structuring orders by the department of posts., RMS,
Circle office, Postal Accounts, MMS, SBCO staff are totally neglected even
though in the cadre restructuring agreement signed by the staff side and
administration, all sections are included. This AIC strongly protest against
the discriminatory action of the postal department and urge upon the Govt., and
Department of Post to take immediate action to implement cadre restructuring
for the above left out cadres also without any discrimination. This AIC
therefore resolves to conduct phased programme of action during July-September
and further urges upon NFPE central leadership to organize serious agitational
programmes including strike,if the Govt., fails to implement the orders within
a time frame, ending discrimination.
6. This AIC
views with grave concern that the Govt., has not yet dropped the implementation
of the task force committee report and MNOP.Further department has failed to
fill up about 70000 vacancies in the postal department as per the authentic
report of the 7th CPC. The implementation of the IT modernization
project without proper application of mind and without providing minimum
necessary infrastructural facilities had added further to the miseries of
employees. This AIC urges upon the postal department to take immediate action
on these important issues faced by the Postal
& RMS employees so that the situation may not go from bad to worse.
This AIC further demand the postal department to discuss the above issues with
the staff side and settle it immediately in a time bound manner.
7. Under
the banner of NFPE, the AIPEU-GDS was formed in the year 2012 and it has formed
circle/divisional unions in almost all circles
and divisions. All the affiliates of NFPE are extending full support and
cooperation to the AIPEU-GDS leadership. NFPE & AIPEU GDS has conducted
series of agitational programmes for inclusion of GDS under the purview of 7th
CPC, but Govt., has unilaterally appointed a separate committee under the
chairmanship of retired postal board member Shri Kamlesh Chandra. NFPE, AIPEU
GDSand confederation has submitted memorandum to the GDS
committees, Evidence before the committee was also given jointly. This AIC
declares full support and solidarity to three lakhs GDS in their struggle for
grant of civil servant status and for grant of all other benefits like pay,
allowances, pensions etc.
This AIC further calls upon all the postal & RMS
employees to extend full support and cooperation to the AIPEU GDS leadership-
at all levels for collecting maximum membership authorization form in favour of
AIPEU GDS, so that in the ensuing GDS membership verification, the AIPEU GDS
will come out successful with flying colours with maximum votes in its favour,
thereby becoming one and the only recognized GDS union.

3.
RESOLUTION
ON SCRAPPING OF NEW PENSION SCHEME
This 31st A.I.C., while vehemently opposing
the new pension scheme introduced from April 2004, strongly urges for scrapping
of the scheme in toto. The argument advocated by the Government that the total
outgo on account of payments for the existing central government employees has
gone up from Rs. 5,206 Crores in 1993 / 94 to Rs. 22, 618 Crores in 2003 / 04
and there is need to switch over from defined benefit pension Scheme to defined
contribution Scheme does not hold water. The value of money and the Indian
currency in the global market, the rise in price index and the rise in the rate
of inflation are not taken into account. As the cost of living steadily
increases along with the fiscal standards, the increase shown in the payment of
pensions is only theoretical. Further, it is argued that many countries are
switching to the contributory scheme also is irrelevant. Because, so many
western countries which are quite often quoted as models by the ruling elite
are paying pension as a social security for its employees ranging from 40 per
cent to even 55 percent of the last pay drawn.
This A.I.C. further notes with concern that the amount
accumulated in the pension fund by contributions from the employees and the
departments they are employed is proposed to be invested in the trade of the
share market. It is everyone’s knowledge that the share market is a heartless
giant and the gambling is known for its fluctuations, many of the slumps are
deliberately orchestrated to suit the needs of the trade gamblers. The fate of
the hard earned money of the employees will be at the mercy of these
unscrupulous elements. This is highly unfair and un-warranted.
The new pension scheme is against the interests of the
employees for the following reason:-
i)
It displaces the
age-old scheme of social security
ii)
The fund raised
in the pension will be invested in private share market for which there is no
security
iii)
The contributory
pension scheme does not guarantee the equal share as that of the employee by
the Govt.
Hence,
this 31ST th All
India Conference of All India RMS & MMS Employees Union Group `C` held at
Pethapur, Gandhi Nagar, Ahmedabad (Gujarat)
from 21st to 24th June, 2016
strongly feels that this anti-employee new pension scheme may be
scrapped once and for all. It further unanimously resolves to urge the Govt. to drop the proposal and to restore the
original defined Benefit Pension Scheme.
4.
RESOLUTION
ON MODIFIED ACP SCHEME
After
adopting the MACP Scheme in Postal, we have taken many issues affecting the
employees and modified to the extent benefitting the employees. The major issue
is related to the constitution of Scrutiny committees at divisional levels to
review the CRS for five years for upgrading bench mark for those who have not
been granted MACP due to application of benchmark. The department has once
again reiterated the same order to compile the same where it was left out. The
following issues were taken and settled by the Federation during the period
under review.
i) Constituted Scrutiny committees at
divisional levels to review the CRS for five years for those who have not been
granted MACP due to application of benchmark.
ii) Clarified that if there is no currency of
punishments as on the due date for MACP, it should not be withheld and it
should be accorded with retrospective effect.
iii) Clarified that for promotees they need not
wait for completion of 20 years of service and they should be granted MACP on
completion of 10 years service in PA cadre,
iv)
Clarified that opting for defunct
Accountant scale shall not be taken as promotion and not to be counted for
MACP.
After
serving the strike notice, the Department has once again issued a detailed
clarificatory orders on MACP vide its No. 4-7 (MACPs)2009-PCC dt 30.06.2011 in
which the following is focused.
i) Again the process of upgrading CR
entries shall be exercised for the left out officials within one month.
ii) Even after, there is no scope to
upgrade the CR entries; the official shall be given an opportunity to represent
within 15 days before such ACRs are placed in DPC.
iii) Screening committee may be constituted
to consider the left out cases.
Based
on the above, the process of MACP would have been completed in many left out
cases. Still the following main
issues are not sorted out.
i) MACP shall be considered on completion
of 10 years service in one cadre. Any promotion acquired by writing the
competitive examination shall not be equated with MACP promotion. The Jodhpur
Judgment shall be honoured and implemented.
ii) Application of bench mark shall be
dropped up to pay band 2 levels
iii) Grant of MACP to those declined LSG
promotion prior to issue of MACP orders (ie) 18.09.2009.
iv) Non grant of third MACP by counting 10
years from TBOP in case of Promotees.
This AIC urges the Department to consider and cause orders on the above
mentioned items in particular the implementation of Jodhpur CAT judgments. This
Federal Council further appeals the Confederation and the Staff side of the JCM
National Council to take up this seriously for the immediate implementation of
the judgment to all the
5.RESOLUTION ON BUREAUCRATIC EXCESSES
This 31st
All India Conference of All India RMS & MMS Employees Union Group
`C` held at Pethapur, Gandhi Nagar, Ahmedabad (Gujarat) from 21st to 24th June, 2016
notes with grave concern that the postal bureaucracy in several places
all over the country exhibit tendencies of bureaucratic excesses. Coupled with
flouting of several departmental rules and regulations to adopt a rule of whims
rather than rule of law, the corrupt practices are on the increase. As always
the case, many of the corrupt practices are meticulously planned to escape
detection and apprehension. The general policy of the department like closure
of RMS offices etc comes in handy to these corrupt bureaucrats who reportedly
enter into unholy understanding with landlords to vacate buildings by closures.
Purchase of computers in unimaginable proportions for exorbitant prices while
the market shows drastic fall in computer prices is an area worth investigating
for corrupt practices. The practice of spending in lakhs in the name of
developmental meetings in star hotels and in the name of marketing of
business premium products is another
area of bureaucratic excess that requires investigation to check wasteful
expenditure. The financial powers have been brushed aside by many PMGs in
renovating their quarters and beautifying them by spending lakhs of rupees. The
funds allotted for staff quarters were diverted and there is no check in
spending by such bureaucrats. The
tendency to close the eyes for whatever happens behind the screen of marketing
management should come to an end. The wastage of expenditure at every new
incumbent occupying a position for decorating and redecorating the chambers of
officers to the tastes of new incumbents is also a bureaucratic excess only.
The attitude of the bureaucracy towards
unions and staff is antagonistic in general at several levels and we are not
talking about the exceptions here. The
antagonism is getting accelerated day by day due to the implementation of
neo-liberal policies of the Government in Department of Posts. The
liberalization policies attempt to attack the interests of employees severely
and the Officers being the implementators of those policies often takes it
personally and overzealously to reach targets as fast as they can, let it be
closure of the offices or abolition of posts and they consider any resistance
from unions as intolerable. This attitude leads to bureaucratic excesses in
several places where the vindictiveness of the worst kind is witnessed. Staffs
are harassed; they are punished harshly for small lapses too. There are some
officers who have scant respect for unions and behave in such a way that they
are the monarchs and the unions are unwanted subjects. These officers don’t
follow the rules and cancel the monthly meetings at their whims; refuse
informal meetings to union office bearers and refuse to discuss in a
transparent manner on issues that affect the interests of staff; resort to
punish the union office bearers at the first available flimsy opportunity.
The FR 17 (a) awarded in Punjab Circle for holding
demonstration on leave and the Rule 16 and punishments awarded to 17 officials
for demonstration after working hours in the Andhra Pradesh circle are the
glaring examples prevailing in the lower level. The lower officers, without any
sense but with full prejudiced mind award punishments by misusing the powers.
There is no check by higher officers.
This A.I.C. therefore calls upon the Postal Board to
issue proper administrative instructions to correct the tendencies of
bureaucratic excesses of all kind and ensure function at all levels
transparently and according to rules and guidelines.
6.. RESOLUTION ON PROBLEMS OF WOMEN EMPLOYEES:
Based on international Labour Conference decisions of
1919, the Govt. of India reviewed the problems in depth and suggested its
opinion before ILC in 1921.
Pursuant to the decision of Royal Commission
Recommendations of 1930, Maternity Benefits Act was promulgated in our country.
Thereafter the Government of India extended certain benefits to working women
employees.
Nowadays, the percentage of women employees have
increased steadily in Government departments by virtue of their merits and
qualifications. It is their onerous responsibility to actively involve
themselves in the Trade Union movement at all levels and this conference
appeals their active role in this august organization.
LEAVE
RESERVE:
Due to availing maternity leave and leave availed for
pre and post-natal care, there is a greater degree of absenteeism among women
employees which is unavoidable. After the introduction of child care leave and
enhancing the number of days for maternity leave, the need of more leave
reserve is felt in the department Sanction of enhancing the percentage of Leave
Reserve strength to the extent of 20% is inevitable. There should be no bar in
granting child care leave due to shortage of staff and inadequate LR strength.
CRÈCHES:
The Department has issued orders to subordinate
offices to provide Crèches under certain condition. These require
liberalization. However the number of employees is small, the Department may on
payment, enter into arrangement with crèche houses opened by other Department
like Telecom etc. to enable the Postal Women employees to leave their Children
under the care of trained matrons when they proceed to work. The grant from the
welfare fund shall be revised and it can be paid from the state funds instead
of the circle welfare funds.
TRANSFERS:
Though the Government has issued orders that women
employees should be transferred to the stations where their husbands are
serving etc., at field level, there appears to be much delay to concede their
request. Many of their cases have not been considered in practice.
The women employees should not be posted where basic
facilities are lacking. Even though, the Department caused order based on our
request, this is not being properly adhered to.
This A.I.C. appeals the Department to entertain
transfer cases to their native places as requested in respect of unmarried
women employees and to the places where their husbands are working in respect
of married employees without putting any restrictions, reservations or
rejections.
This A.I.C. notes with serious concern on the denial
of Sixth CPC recommendation on the Flexi working hours for women employees by
the Department at Departmental council meeting. The proposal would have been
forwarded to nodal ministries instead of rejection.
HOSTELS:
Keeping in view that women employees both married and
unmarried have to serve away from home-stations due to circumstance beyond
their control, the following are suggested.
1.
That women
hostels may be constructed if the number of women employees is large and
2.
Rooms may be
reserved for women employees in hostels which may be constructed in other
Department of Government.
3.
Allotting staff
quarters earmarking for women employees who are working in those places out of
their native places.
DEPUTATION:
In the case of Leave Reserve period, the women
employees are indiscriminately subjected to deputations to single handed
offices and other offices where basic amenities are not available and offices
which are beyond 8 KM radius resulting in change of Head Quarters. This should
be avoided.
This A.I.C.
resolved to appeal to the Department of Posts to consider the women
employees problem in depth and settle those, which are within the ambit of
powers.
This 31st A.I.C. further appeals to all
women employees working in all the circles to involve themselves actively at
all levels and uphold the glory of our mighty Union and also to protect the
interest of all.

delay of public mail and accumulation of mails in L-1 offices after
implementation of MNOP and requests to take steps to review and settle the
issue. The Second Class mail hubs, Parcel Hubs introduced as the third stage of
MNOP is a total failure and it caused unnecessary back routing of Second class
mail bags and accumulation of extra bags, double handling of bags in the
sections. This A.I.C. resolved to request to review the necessity of the L-I,
L-2 hubs for Second Class mails and Parcel hubs immediately.
17. It is requested to

27. Department is considering
parcel as the business of hour, ignoring the volume or size of parcels, a large
number of parcels are being booked. This is creating trouble in transmission .
Staff on parcel duties, especially ladies are facing hardships in dealing with.
It is resolved to fix the norms in size & weight.
38. This AI.C. resolves that
work of R.P. Sorting should not be merged with work of Parcel sorting to avoid
loss of revenue Trace and Track should be arranged separately in R.P.Sorting.
29.

Conference of All India RMS & MMS Employees Union Group `C` held at
Pethapur, Gandhi Nagar, Ahmedabad (Gujarat)
from 21st to 24th June, 2016
notes with deep concern that the budgetary allotment under medical head
exhausts only to pay the medical advances /claims for treatment of patients
suffering from above noted diseases which require a lot of amounts .
Consequently medical claims of general cases are not possible to be reimbursed
for scarcity of fund. A huge number of medical bills are pending in various
Divisions of this Circle. Directorate is urged that special allotment of
medical fund is made for treatment of dreadful diseases which require a lot of
amounts, in order to enable the general claimants to get their medical bills
reimbursed in time from the general allotment under medical fund.
33.
Supply of 40 seated Railway Bogies for R.M.S Sections in place of 20 seated.
Railway
Authorities are providing short space of 20 seated Handicapped bogies to R.MS
Sections for carrying mails instead of 40 seated S.L.R bogies as required for.
Consequent upon such non supply of adequate accommodation for carrying mails,
misconnection of mails or non loading of mails occurred very often and thus
transshipment of public mails are suffered badly.
Directorate
is urged to take up with the Railway authority to provide 40 seated SLR Bogies
to the RMS Sections in the interest of quick disposal of public mails.

Notc:-
There are so many diseases which are totally in curable such as cancer, heart
diseases diabetic etc special medical fund to the allotted for those medical
