No. No. O2-02/2018-SR
Dated: 08th March. 2018
In reference to your above referred
letter, 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 AND WITHDRAWAL OF PARCEL WORK FROM L-2 OFFICES
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.
Withdrawal of Parcel work from L-2
offices will cause accumulation, back routing and delay to parcels.
2.STOP PRIVATISATION/OUT
SOURCING AND REVISION OF OUT
STATION ALLOWANCE :- 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
Out Station
Allowance is paid to the RMS Officials who work in the running sections at the
rate for 6 hours slab. The rate of OSA is at par with the Daily allowance on
tour based on the eligibility of the official according to his pay.
Now the Ministry of
Finance vide its OM No.
O.M.No.19030/112017-E.IV dated
10th July 2017 has revised the Daily Allowance Rates ON TOUR on the
recommendations of the 7 CPC. The rates of OSA may also be revised at par with
Daily Allowance on tour for the staff of RMS working in running sections.
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, Special Grade Drivers.
Fill up the vacant posts of Manager, Assistant Manager, P.A.,Drivers, Artisans
