LOCAL STRUGGLE IN RMS CB DIVISION, TAMILNADU CIRCLE.
For the
past 5 years to manage the sorting asst vacant places in mail offices nearly
130 to 140 outsiders having +2 qualifications and above are working in all
units of RMS CB Dn for sorting unregd articles and sometimes in regd branches
also. They are working on hourly rate fixed by Dist collectors. This is a
meagre amount [Rs.36/-per hour]. Ignoring the prevailing ground realities, Western
regional administration all of a sudden abruptly terminated the services of
outsiders on 26.6.13 which resulted in accumulation of mails in heaps in front of
mail offices. JCA immediately convened and decided to conduct TU programme by
arranging gate meetings, demonstrations insisting the administration to withdraw
the order and restore normalcy. The programme which JCA conducted were published
in daily newspapers. In this background Circle Secretary Com. K. Sankaran R3, J.Ramamoorthi Circle Secretary P3 met PMG MM at
Chennai on 28.6.13 and appraised the situation and requested to restore statusquo
so as to facilitate to clear the pending mails.
On the part of
outsiders they were well determined and very strong .In this background
administration withdraw the termination order and permitted all outsiders for
sorting and they were also now performing duties as earlier

EDITORIAL - POSTAL CRUSADER, JULY 2013
FIGHT AGAINST THE POLICY
FIGHTING FOR THE ALTERNATIVE
Postal employees have always
taken it as their motto to render best possible services to the people at
large. We are conscious of our duties and responsibilities to the Nation.
Inpsite of all limitations, we shall continue to discharge our duties towards
the people and the Nation. But on the same breath, we want to make it clear
that contended staff are always an asset to the Nation and discontentment if
allowed to grow, it is bound to affect the services. We do claim that further
improvement in the services can be brought out if joint endeavours are made by
both Administration and unions. While we have successfully built up a strong
movement through our united efforts, we do claim to maintain cordial relations
with the administration at different levels – branch/Divisional/Circle and All
India.
But our experience hitherto shows
that maintaining cordial relation with administration alone will not solve the
basic problems faced by the Postal employees. Most of the issues agitating the
minds of the Postal employees are due to the overall policy of the Government.
Proposed move to permit entry of private sector into Postal services by
granting licences to the transnational courier companies, Denial of legitimate
rights of the Gramin Dak Sevaks including Civil Servant status and
bonus-parity, Non-payment of revised wages to the casual labourers, unjustified
abolition of vacant Posts, Refusal to appoint Seventh Pay Commission and
Inclusion of GDS under its purview, merger of 50% DA, inhuman 5% restriction on
compassionate appointments, introduction of share-market oriented contributory
Pension Scheme, non-removal of bonus ceiling, downsizing, outsourcing, contractualisation,
corporatization etc are all directly linked with the polices of the Government.
Inspite of our sincere cooperation, if things are not moving in the proper
direction, we have to be ready for a serious course of action. We can never
allow the situation to continue like this which is bound to cause deterioration
in services and also adversely affect the interest of the employees. We should
analyse and understand the root cause of the problems and shall find out
remedy.
The logic of the neo-liberal
reforms is maximization of profit and minimization of cost of labour as well as
people. Being a capitalist agenda, it operates in that direction in a
spontaneous manner. It maximizes profit by keeping the wages suppressed and
also by generating a huge army of unemployed as reserve, to facilitate such
suppression of wages. Under neo-liberal order it promotes speculation to
multiply profit, thereby further
aggravating unemployment, price rise and poverty. When it falls into crisis, as
have happened at the present juncture, it seeks to shift the entire burden of
the crisis to the people and workers. That is why our genuine demands are
denied. Hence the fight against the galobalisation policies assumes paramount
importance. We have to change this policy and we should continue our fight for
an alternative policy.
Alternative to the
imperialist globalization policy is nothing else but socialism, complete emancipation
of society from all exploitation. Change in the system, or transition of the
society, does not happen automatically. The working class, including the Postal
employees, has to play a pro-active role in intensifying the struggle and
prepare itself to lead the struggle for change in the system. It has to sharpen
the struggle further, unifying the entire working class against the neo-liberal
policies and rally the people around it to achieve the change. When struggle
intensifies, at some point of time they may concede some of our demands. But
that is not the end. We should continue our struggle further, till these
policies are reversed completely and an alternative system comes into
existence. For this we should elevate the consciousness of the workers and heighten
the quality of the struggle further. Let us have a clear understanding that the
fight against the policy is nothing but fighting for an alternative in the long
run, an alternative society which bring an end to the exploitation of one human
being by another. Therefore our present day activities must continue to target
the present exploitative system, expose its anti-people, anti-working class
character.
DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE
REFORMS & PUBLIC GRIEVANCES HAS ISSUED AN ORDER PERTAINING TO SIMPLIFYING
THE PROCEDURES OF SELF CERTIFICATION PROVISION.
No.K-11022/67/2012-AR
Government
of India
Ministry
of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions
Department of Administrative Reforms & Public Grievances
Sardar Patel Bhavan, Sansad Marg,
New Delhi-110001, Dated the 10th May, 2013
OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject : Self-certification
The Second
Administrative Reforms Commission in its 12th Report titled "Citizen Centric Administration - The Heart of Governance", has
recommended, adoption of self-certification provision for simplifying
procedures. (www.darpg.gov.in)
2. Taking a cue
from this some Ministries / State Governments have adopted the provision of
self-certification of documents like marksheet, birth certificate etc. by the
applicants / stakeholders instead of asking for an attested copy of the
documents by a Gazetted Officer or filing of affidavits. Under the self
attestation method, the original documents are required to be produced at the
final stage.
3. You will
appreciate that the above method is citizen friendly and obtaining either an
attested copy or affidavit not only cost money but also involves wastage of
time of the citizens and the Government officials.
3. It is requested
to kindly review the existing requirements of attested copy or affidavit in
various application forms in a phased manner and wherever possible make
provision for self-certification of documents, after obtaining the approval of
the competent authority.
