GDS MEMBERSHIP VERIFICATION

OUR RESPONSIBILITIES AND IMMEDIATE TASK ELECT AND SELECT AIPEU-GDS AS THE ONLY ONE RECOGNISED GDS UNION

Dear Comrades,

As all of you are aware Department of Posts has commenced the process of verification of membership of Gramin Dak Sevaks for grant of recognition. The AIPEU-GDS was formed in the year 2012 and the Federal Council of NFPE held at Hyderabad in 2013, which is the highest decision and policy making body of NFPE, has decided to grant “Associate Membership” to the newly formed AIPEU-GDS. For the last four years, AIPEU-GDS is functioning without recognition and joined all the programmes of NFPE including strike. During this four year period it had conducted two All India Conferences and formed Branches in all the 22 Circles. After formation of AIPEU-GDS, it is the first membership verification taking place.

There is no doubt that the AIPEU-GDS will get recognition and shall become number one recognised GDS Union, with flying colours. But that is not enough - we should make the AIPEU-GDS as the only one recognised GDS Union in the Department of Posts. It is not impossible.

For fulfilling the above task, all Circle/Divisional Branches of NFPE affiliated Unions/Associations and also all CHQ office bearers are hereby requested to take immediate action to implement the following directions of NFPE.

1. It should be ensured that Circle/Divisional Unions of AIPEU-GDS is formed in all Circles/Divisions.

2. The name, designation and official address of the Circle/Divisional Secretaries should be intimated to “Com.P.Panduranga Rao, General Secretary, AIPEU-GDS, 1, Patel Road, Shadipur, Dada Ghosh Bhavan PO, New Delhi-110 008”. Email ID: aipeugdsnfpe@gmail.com Mob: 09849466595. Divisional Secretaries should inform the above particulars to Circle Secretaries also.

3. Still there are some divisions where the branches of AIPEU-GDS are not yet formed, inspite of repeated instructions from NFPE. All those Divisions where the branch of AIPEU-GDS is not yet formed should form the Branch Union or at least an Adhoc Committee at Divisional level with a Secretary or Convenor before 15th April 2016. The name, designation and official address with pin code and mobile number of the newly elected Secretary or Adhoc Committee Convenor should be intimated to the General Secretary and Circle Secretary. Wherever Circle Unions are not functioning immediate action should be taken to form a functioning Circle Union or Circle level Adhoc Committee of AIPEU-GDS.

4. It is reported from some circles that some P3 and P4 Divisional Unions of NFPE has not taken any positive action to form the Divisional Branches of AIPEU-GDS. Not only that in some limited divisions, the rival GDS Union, which is campaigning against NFPE and has formed separate unions for Group-C and Postmen/MTS in the name of “UNITED” to break our P3 and P4 Union and thereby to destabilise NFPE, is given all help and assistance by the some P3 and P4 Unions of NFPE and also holding joint meetings with the rival GDS Union which is no more an affiliate or Associate of NFPE. This is not permissile and is in violation of the directions and guidelines issued by NFPE. It is once again made clear that disciplinary action will be taken against those divisions which refuse to form the branches of AIPEU-GDS and which are still cooperating and extending all help to the rival GDS Union and conducting joint meetings. The recognition of all such Divisional Unions which refuse to carry out the directions of NFPE will be withdrawn without any further notice.

5. Last date for submission of application by GDS Unions for participating in the membership verification process is 31-03-2016. AIPEU-GDS has already submitted application to the Directorate on 18-03-2016. Please note that the name of our union is “AIPEU-GDS”. Department may issue orders fixing the last date for submission of authorisation forms to the Divisional heads, along with the model authorisation form with the signature of an officer of the Directorate. Immediately on publishing the authorisation form by the department all the affiliated unions of NFPE should jointly jump into action and collect maximum number of authorisation forms from GDS of each division. As GDS are working in remote villages, action plan should be chalked out now itself, for visiting each and every Branch Post Office by the NFPE leadership, for collecting authorisation forms signed by the GDS in favour of AIPEU-GDS.

6. AIPEU-GDS is the GDS Union of NFPE and it is the collective responsibility of all Circle/Divisional Unions of NFPE to make our GDS Union as the only one recognised union. Let us take it as a challenge and prove that it is possible.

7. A separate circular issued by AIPEU-GDS CHQ is also enclosed herewith.

Fraternally yours,

Karnataka Circle, which is always a pioneer in many aspects, has created a history. Smt Usha Chandrashekar, Chief Post Master General, Karnataka Circle has initiated a novel & path breaking step in India Post. She has interacted directly with the Divisional/Branch Secretaries, listening patiently the difficulties faced by staff, in their day to day functioning in the office, their needs in the running of the post offices smoothly, the infrastructure needs, the technology induction problems, augmentation of human resources and so on. Some instant solutions were provided, many were noted down for perusal, and the larger ones like Finacle, McCamish, Sify Networking &C S I at Mysore, Madam has assured that the issues have already been taken up with the Directorate and solutions will be found. This was a two hour programme. The interaction has soothed the staff who are working under great strain and pressure. It is a big and innovative bold step. Smt Usha Chandrashekar, CPMG Karnataka Circle will be remembered for this first of its kind initiative forever. AIPEU Group-C Karnataka Circle salutes Madam and Sri D S V R Murthy, DPS, for this and offers their sincere thanks.

Next Day, i.e. on 25^th March 2016, Sri L K Dash, Director Postal Services addressing the gathering gave a lucid account of the organizational challenges and the problems confronting the postal department and its employees. He highlighted, the undergoing changes of India Post in the competitive, market scenario, the work load and culture imposed upon the postal employees, which is onerous, comparing to any other central government department. He urged upon the employees to take it into their strike the changes and make themselves a force to reckon with.

Com. Krishnan, Secretary General, COC, with his usual eloquence and details held the house spell bound. The house heard him with rapt attention of the measures being taken by central union leaders at National level for all the issues concerning the staff--be it 7th CPC, technology, human resources, strike etc.

Com. Krishnan has stated in clear that Karnataka Circle AIPEU P-3 is one among the top 6 Circles of NFPE. The council meeting was a packed gathering of about 150 members on both the days. The venue and the style of the Council meeting was a pleasant experience for the delegates. AIPEU P-3 Karnataka Circle, has brought in corporate style of meetings in the Union field, since its Bi-ennial Conference of 2014.

It is also resolved in the Circle Council that a phased agitational programme is charted out for the early resolution of technology problems like, Finacle, Sify networking, band width, McCamish, & CSI at Mysore.

All the Divisional and Branch Secretaries, from all over Karnataka, participated in the Council meeting and a majority of them were overwhelmingly happy about the deliberations and the chance to interact with the CPMG Karnataka directly which is an life time experience for them. Many of them have appreciated the initiatives taken by the Circle Union leaders to redress the sufferings of the postal working class.

The present team under the Presidentship of Com. N Chandrashekar, has reached many a milestone, but the journey is long and many more things have to be done for the betterment of the postal workers. With, a fervent hope, I look forward that the deliberations of this Circle Council Meeting comprising of the collective intelligence of the enlightened Circle office bearers, Divisional Secretaries and Circle Councilors will take us to new heights, to move forward in the right direction for the welfare of postal fraternity.

G. Janakiram,

Circle Secretary.

Don't think 7th Pay Commission panel suggestions will remain: Manohar Parrikar - India Today News

Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar on Tuesday said the recommendation of 7th Pay Commission was not final and he would take up concerns raised by the Armed Forces at the right level.

In an exclusive interview with the India Today, Parrikar said he has prepared ground for smoothening the defence procurement which needed to be backed by deliveries now.

On the concerns raised by the Armed Forces over the raw deal given to them in the 7th Pay Commission, Parrikar said it was not the final word. "The seventh Pay Commission is in the form of recommendations. I do not think they (recommendations) will remain. I do not consider them as finalities. I have flagged them and will flag them properly at the right level," said the defence minister.

Parrikar, who inaugurated arms show DefExpo in Goa on Monday where a strong pitch is being made to further expand the growing defence sector, said negative environment surrounding the military acquisitions has changed.

Delivery

"I will not claim that I have turned it around completely but at least something has been done so that deliveries can start. Ground has been prepared. Delivery is now the key word," said Parrikar adding that there was an environment of mistrust, suspicion which can be frustrating in dealing with forces.

He said the industry cannot be held responsible for responding slowly to the changing atmosphere. "They have experienced a congested atmosphere and the breeze has only now begun flowing in. However, it cannot happen overnight. Confidence building measures are in place. Industry has begun responding," he said outlining how smaller changes have been made.

"Offsets have taken off, exports are improving, procurement from local level has gone up. At the capital procurement level, it has not taken off or turned into a big deal because it takes longer. Industry has definitely responded." Talking about the defence reforms like the appointment of a Chief of Defence Staff, Parrikar said there are no hurdles in bringing defence reforms. "There has to be a rational decision. Drafts are being prepared and shared. Very soon it will be brought to the Cabinet," he said.

Asked about delay in development of critical equipment like Intermediate Jet Trainers (IJT) for the IAF or submarines for the navy, Parrikar said the air force does not think the IJT is a requirement as it is training on simulators, Basic Trainer Aircraft and Advanced Jet Trainer. "Instead of three, it is a two-level, re-caliberated approach. The proposal for six under-construction Scorpene submarines is moving smoothly. Next project P75, I will tag along with our policy document on Strategic Partnership," Parrikar said.

No timeline

"When it will come about? Very soon, but I am not willing to issue a timeline. As far as Arihant, the issue should not be discussed. We are equally concerned and are moving in the right direction," he said. The three services raised a number of issues, but when the pay commission sought the defence ministry's comments and recommendation, the ministry negated most of the demands of the services, the officer said
