To
The Director of Postal Services,
Chennai 600 002.
Madam,
Sub: Revision of wages for Mazdoors/Part Time employees such as
Sweepers/ Water Carriers/Gardeners for the financial year 2011-
2012- Non adherence of the revision of wages w.e.f. 1.42011. at
Anna Road HPO as per the norms fixed by the Collectorate- Reg.
Ref: 1. Chennai Collectorate proceedings no. C2/2661/2011 dt. 26.5.11.
2. CPMG , TN
……
It is well aware that the wages for the mazdoors/ contingent / part time employees etc are fixed for all within the District, by the respective Dist. Collectorate of the State Govt. concerned, on financial year basis, based on the Consumer Price Index of the District.
Likewise, the Collectorate Chennai has fixed wages for this financial year vide their memo. Cited under ref.1 and was communicated by the o/o CPMG, Chennai vide the ref.2 cited, for the financial year viz. 2011-2012. ie. from 1.4.2011.
But the Chief Postmaster, Anna Road refused to fix the wages w.e.f. 1.4.2011 despite of repeated representation of the mazdoors concerned, and despite of the Branch level union concerned, but revised the wages only from the date of communication of the orders from the CPMG, TN viz. 8.8.2011.
It is shocked to receive the reply from the administration of Anna Road HPO that there is no mention in the orders of CPMG that the wages are to be revised w.e.f. 1.4.2011 and as such the wages could not be revised w.e.f. 1.4.2011. We do not understand the meaning of the word ‘ Financial year’ for which the wages are revised by the Collectorate based on Consumer Price Index. We felt much because of such stand taken by the Anna road administration.
Your kind interevention is , therefore, requested in this matter , and to give suitable instructions to the authorities concerned and to settle the plight of the poor mazdoors, so as to fix the wages w.e.f. 1.4.2011.
Thanking you Madam in anticipation.
With regards,
(J.RAMAMURTHY)
CIRCLE SECRETARY.
