Subject: Indefinite strike action by RMS and MMS Employees —Submission of Memorandum.

Sir,

                    Kindly refer to this JCA  letter No. RMS/AGTN/ 2018 dated 09-07- 2018 regarding the problems pertaining to RMS & MMS Employees. Our unions conducted several agitatEonal programmes at Division/Region/Circle level and a massive dharna infront of Dak Bhawan on 04-09-2018. The administration is not ready to settle the genuine demands raised by the unions. It is sorry to mention that no discussion was arranged till date on the Charter of Demands submitted by the RMS JCA. Unilateral Implementation af PNOP without considering the suggestions submitted by the staff side and not providing adequate space and infrastructure in hubs resulted large scale back routing of parcels, accumulation of parcel bags in hubs. Simultaneous implementation of PNOP and CSI caused enormous miseries to working and our business deteriorating.

                  In this circumstance, the joint Council for action of RMS Unions held on 4th
September 2018, decided to resort higher form of trade union action including indefinite strike for the settlement of below mentioned Issues of RMS/MMS employees.

1. Consider the suggestion submitted by the staff side in connection with implementation of PNOP (Copy of the suggestions enclosed), and take Immediate changes and remedial dctions to avoid back routing, accumulation of bags in parcel Hubs. Provide adequate space and other intrastructures In all hubs. More LI and L2 hubs required in all circles to avoid delay in parcel movements.

IMPORTANT JCA  CIRCULAR
Comrades
GET READY FOR INDEFINITE STRIKE ON RMS/MMS ISSUES
START PREPARATION IMMEDIATELY

                      Postal Deptt and the NDA Govt is not ready to settle the burning issues of RMS and MMS employees. We  submitted memorandum and organized several agitations jointly and individually. But the Deptt is not ready to discuss and settle our demands. Day by day new schemes and projects are being implemented without discussing with the Staff Side. Implementation of CSI and PNOP caused the working atmosphere in all RMS units enormous miseries. If the PNOP goes like this only 89 RMS offices will exist and all other  units will be under the threat of merger/closer in near future.. Large scale back routing,  accumulation of parcel in parcel hubs, inadequate space and other infrastructure facilities makes work place miserable. Deptt is not ready to accept a single suggestion given by the unions. CSI also implemented without providing adequate bandwidth   server connectivity etc.  Because of the  inordinate delay in recruitment vacant posts are increasing in all cadres workload increasing day by day.Cadre restructuring implemented for PA cadre only even though it was agreed to implement in all other cadres. Outstation Allowance was withdrawn in many circles. Proposal for retaining Spl. Allowance for P.O/RMS Acctt was rejected by Finance Ministry . 30-40% NPS employees are  cheated by the NDA Govt. Those who retiring under NPS are getting pension below Rs 1000./ only.

                    In the above situation ,there is no other way in front of us other than indefinite strike. So the RMS JCA decided to resort indefinite strike in the month of Dec- 2018/Jan-2019 for settling our burning issues. The RMS JCA request all Circles/Divl/Branch unions to start intensive preparations and implement the  following programme of actions successfully.
