No. P3/2-77/ Vriddhachalam
dt. 07.08.2013.
Madam,
Sub: Non grant of
approval to the duly elected body
of Vriddhachalam
Divisional Union by the SPOs., Vriddhachalam – undue delay applying
Dilly dallying methods – Reg.
Ref:
Our Circle Union letter dt. 21.06.2013 a/t PMG, CR with copy to SPOs.,
Vriddhachalam.
….
Kindly refer to the letter
cited , the copy of which is submitted herewith for your kind perusal.
The Divisional Conference
of AIPEU GR.C, Vriddhachalam Divisional Branch was conducted
on 09.06.2013 at Mangalampet/Vriddhachalam Division in the presence of the Circle Office bearer/Regional Secretary of our Union. The list of elected office
bearers is received at Circle Union end from one Sri. A. Manoharan, with copy to the Divisional administration,
requesting for extending TU facilities. Official observer has also attended
and submitted his report, in which no dispute is recorded.
Though the list of elected office bearers were submitted by the duly elected Secretary to the SPOs.,
Vriddhachalam on the next day itself , the
SPOs., did not extend trade union facility to the elected body.
This matter was reported to the knowledge of the Circle Union and in turn we have enquired with the Divl. admn. and they asked an approval letter from the Circle Union . In
turn we have sent the letter cited under reference with a
specific request for approval.
But no reply received from
any end till date. On enquiring of the issue
again with the R.O., they replied that one member has raised a complaint
about the validity of a single member
who has voted in the election and
they reported that , this factor
should be verified through field authorities. But no enquiry was conducted for the past
two months, to till date. This matter
was again taken up by our
Regional Secretary with the R.O. and they replied that this
case was referred to C.O. Again , we have approached the C.O. and
they replied that the papers were sent back to SPOs., Vridhachalam for enquiry
and to report.
Though kept fully
dark on this matter, on getting oral information from the sources,
our Divisional secretary again
given a detailed report on
this with the SPOs., Vriddhachalam on
24.07.2013 alongwith the connected documents, which clears the picture on the issue.
The copy of his letter and
the documents so submitted , are
enclosed herewith for your kind
reference.
Actually there is no issue
and it is only a non issue. A member Smt. P. Maheswari, who was lifted from LR PA during the end of May 2013, was
shown posted to Tirukoilur HO. Being LRPA then, her pay and allowances were
drawn at Vriddhachalam HO till April
2013 and her subscriptions were recovered at Vriddhachalam HO till that month.
At Tirukoilur HO her subscription was not recovered from her
pay during the month of May 2013. This
is the administrative fault of
DDO, Tirukoilur .
Hence, during the month of
June 2013 ie on 30.06.2013 her
subscriptions for two months were deducted at Tirukoilur HO from her pay. Simply for the reason that
the subscription was not
recovered during May 2013 at Tirukoilur
HO, by the DDO, the said Smt. P. Maheswari was termed by the
complainant as a non member. It is an utter false report and even based on our Constitution, a member can be
treated as a non member , only if he is a defaulter for three consecutive months .
It
is crystal clear that, this matter is
within the jurisdiction of the SPOs., VDL and there is no election dispute and there is no reason to forward these papers to Chief PMG, TN. and there is no rules to refer to
do so. Simply for the purpose
of enquiring this petty
issue, the papers were tossed for
the past two months by the SPOs., Vriddhachalam to
the pillar to post - from R.O. to
C.O. and even wasting the precious time of our
Chief PMG, TN now. Knowing
fully of the facts, despite on receipt of detailed report from the
Divisional Secretary with supported
records , the SPOs., Vriddhachalam is still reporting enquiring…. enquiring … the
case.
Having no other go,
we bring this petty matter to the kind personal notice of
the Chief PMG,TN for taking
immediate suitable action so as
to grant recognition to the duly elected body immediately.
With regards,
sd/-
(J. RAMAMURTHY)
CIRCLE SECRETARY.
