Dr. Charles Lobo, IPoS.,
Chief Postmaster General,

Respected Sir,
Sub: Statewide agitation programme pressing
for settlement of demands – Reg.
…..
As per the decision taken and announced during the GDS convention held at Trichy on 28.2.2016, as a first step
, TN NFPE Co-ordination Committee, comprising all the Constituent Unions under
NFPE, has decided to conduct a Statewide demonstration on
17.3.2016 at all HPOs/D.O.s/Units, pressing for the under mentioned 12 point charter demands for
immediate settlement.
These demands are,
either pending for long or already discussed in various periodical
meetings like four monthly meetings, RJCM meetings and
assured for settlement already, but no action seems to be taken till date. Moreover, in the name of business
development, the staff are harassed, fixing targets by many Sub Ordinate
authorities in an unmindful manner, without applying any logic or scientific
approach, which produce artificial business or opening of accounts in a
coercive manner, affecting the real growth of the Department.
In respect of CBS, there is no network connectivity in
many interior areas/ ‘C’ & ‘B’ Class
offices either because of low bandwidth
problem or because of the yesterday’s DC closure in Finacle, affecting the
normal transactions very badly.
Similar is the case of Mc Camish which is not working on
many days and facing slowness for the
past one month, though reported
from various user ends, no action taken by the Infosys till date, whereas, the
subordinate authorities, without observing the reality, gearing up with drives
and procurement of RPLI collections, which could not be accounted immediately.
Because of this, public are quarrelling with the staff at the Counters, causing
much damage to the image of the Department. This fact is not bringing to the
notice of the CPMG, TN by the lower authorities.
Likewise, in RMS
‘T’ Division, the JCA comprising of all the Unions under NFPE & FNPO have
already submitted a memorandum of demands with the PMG, CR and conducted first phase programme of action on
15.3.2016. But no action seems to be taken for settlement of their problems.
Hence, having no other go, in order to bring to the
immediate attention and notice of the CPMG, TN we have decided to go ahead with
the trade union programme of action in a phased manner. We request an immediate meeting with the CPMG,
TN for discussions and settlement of these issues, otherwise, we have to go for
second phase of trade union programme of action by fourth week of this month.
We expect the kind immediate personal intervention of the
CPMG, TN in this regard. A line in reply is much awaited.
CHARTER OF DEMANDS
1. Request to stop the
‘Torture’ unleashed against the employees including GDS in the name of targets.
2. Request to take
Disciplinary action against the ground level officers, who are pressing the
employees to open Rs.10/- denomination RD accounts in Large on a Single
Depositor in order to attain fake target,
violating the Ministry of Finance orders, thereby cheating the
Department/Fin. Ministry. The information of such accounts/Divisions/ offices
can very well be obtained from CPC.
3. Request to raise the
Bandwidth at all ‘C’ and ‘B’ Class offices immediately, as per the orders of
the Department.
4. Request to take action
against the ‘Infosys’ for the continued ‘slowness’ in Finacle’, instead of fixing responsibility on the
ground level officials on public complaints.
5. Request to take action against ‘Infosys’ for the
continued ‘Slowness’ in ‘Mc Camish’ for the past one month, since nothing can
be moved in the RPLI/PLI drive period, resulting in huge loss to the Dept.
6. Request to implement the
order of the Dte. on “business hours’ at all offices immediately.
7. Request to stop
redeployment of any Postman post, without applying scientific assessment of the
work load like congested area and multistoried buildings etc. Request not to
combine the beats, affecting the Delivery performance in the changed scenario.
8. Request to provide
substitutes in Postman and MTS clear vacant posts/leave vacancies without
imposing any restrictions.
9. Request to take immediate
action on the memorandum submitted by RMS employees unions of Central
Region. Request to initiate discussions
with the staff unions and settle the issues. Don’t victimize the employees, who
are on struggle for settlement of their genuine demands.
10. Request to assess all the
vacancies as per the Directorate orders and take immediate action to fill up
all the vacant posts. Request to form assessment committee immediately and
include the staff side representatives in the Committee to avoid any irregular
assessment of vacancies, as was done by the authorities for the past several
years.
11. Request to consult the
representatives of the staff unions before making any changes in RMS
operations/Units.
12. Request to grant financial
assistance from Welfare fund to the applied and affected GDS during the
December 2015 flood, without any further delay. Request to grant flood advance
