Stop accepting Exam invegilation duty hereafter.
In every CWC meeting and Circle/ All India conferences, every time we are discussing on the decades old meagre rate of Honorarium being paid for attending Invigilation duties for Departmental examinations. The Department is not in a positive frame of mind as far as in accepting our legitimate demands like Revision of IP Grade pay etc and it is evident that the Department is showing step motherly treatment towards our cadre. As far as extracting work from the cadre, the Department is treating us like a bounded labour. The unrest in the cadre is mounting day by day and our loyalty to the Department no more be taken as granted. The members are mounting pressure on the association to take agitation path as was doing by the operative staff associations to get our legitimate demands accepted by the Department. Regarding payment of Honorarium for Exam invigilation duties, it is shameful on the part of the higher administration to keep it pending for years together and we are also ashamed of accepting Rs 30/- per day which is nowadays not even compensate traveling expenses to examination hall in one way. When the department is not in a mood to compensate us in a jestified manner, what is the meaning in attending the works like Examination Invegilation duties on sundays etc.
Keeping in view the scant respect showing against our cadre and our legitimate demands, it is decided by the AP circle association in consultation with the CWC members, NOT TO ACCEPT ANY EXAMINATION INVEGILATION DUTY OR SQUAD DUTY FROM 10-11-2010 ONWARDS. To implement this, the following programme is chalked out.
1. Circle Secretary will convey the decision of the association in writing to the CPMG.
2. Regional representatives will give letters to the regional PMsG in this matter
3. Each and every IP/ASP will give letters to their Divisional Superintendents asking them not to give any Examination Invegilation duty from 10-11-2010 onwards. The text of the letter to be given to the Divl Supdts will be communicated soon.
We request the Officers association and other operative unions also to take a stand on this issue. We also request the CHQ to take a unified stand on this issue for all the circles.Circle Secretary will discuss the issue with Circle Secretaries of other associations/unions to take a similar stand on this issue.
