ELECT-1 /2K9 18-09-2009
To
The Chief Postmaster General
Tamilnadu Circle, Chennai-600002.

Sir,
Sub: - CCS (RSA) Rules, 1993- Re verification of membership-reg.
Ref: - C.O. letter No.SR/1-11/2009 dated 13-07-2009

It has been intimated that the Electrical staff of CO/RO would not be eligible to become members of AIPAOEU (Gr.C&D) as they belong to distinct category of Civil Wing.

This Union wishes to submit that the pay and allowances of the Electrical staff are drawn from CO/RO/Divisions and not from the Civil Wing. They were initially appointed as Casual Mazdoors. They were conferred with TS Group-D and then as Regular Group-D (Workmen). After they come out successful in the examination and training they were assigned the work of electrical maintenance. The Seniority List of Electrical Maintenance Staff was also issued by the Competent Authority of Circle Office, neither by the Electrical/Civil Wing nor by their competent authorities.

As being the case, if the Circle Administration is provided with any Rulings that the Electrical staff appointed in accordance with the orders supra, are distinct categories, a copy of the Rulings may kindly be supplied to this Union for pursuing the matter further.

Hence, it is reiterated that the Electrical Maintenance staff in C ORO are eligible to become members of this Union and requests the Chief PMG kindly to issue suitable instructions to maintain status quo ante of the membership of the Electrical staff in Circle Office.

An early order is earnestly requested.

Thanking you, Sir,
Yours faithfully,

This Union would request the Chief PMG kindly instruct to restore the supply of towel once in six month and soap for every month to all our Electrical staff, immediately.

Thanking you, Sir,

ELEC-4/2K9 12-11-2009
To
The General Secretary
AIPAOEU (Gr.C&D)-CHQ, New Delhi-110001.

Dear Comrade,
Sub: - CCS (RSA) Rules 1993 – re-verification of membership of Service Unions – reg.

Vanakam! During re verification of membership process Electrical staff in Circle Office has given their membership applications in favour our Union. But the Administration has not allowed as to be members of our Union on the pretext that they belong to distinct category as per the Dte. Letter No.13-1/93 dated 10-08-1994.

This Circle Union has substantiated with reasons in the letter dated 18-09-2009 (copy enclosed) but the administration struck to its stand. The Administration has not replied to the points raised in our letter categorically.

The decision of the Directorate appears to be not in order. Further, the Directorate can not use different yard stick to decide issues of similar cases.

Comrade, you may be aware that the Supervisory Association is permitted to enroll employees as their members irrespective of their category in Postal RMS, Administration, Accounts, etc., on the pretext that the bye-laws of their Association allows them to be members. The same principle and practice should be adapted to our Union also as our bye-laws allows Electrical staff working in C.O/R.O/Administrative offices to be members of AIPAOEU (Gr.C&D). It may also be mentioned here that the Electrical staff are allowed membership in Postal / RMS/Accounts etc.

I would request Com. General Secretary to take up the issue with Directorate on priority basis as the fundamental rights of Electrical staff in CO/RO/Admn. Offices are denied.

I look forward an early action is taken to ensure augmentation of membership, in the month of April 2010.

With fraternal greetings, Yours comradely,

Sub: - Request to issue of Circle Gradation List of CO/RO staff-reg.


The Circle Gradation List of CO/ RO was last issued during July 2004. There have been significant changes consequent on implementation of 6th CPC and a number CO/RO staff gone on VR, retired, expired, resigned, inter-circle transfers, new appointments in seniority, pay scales, etc.

This Circle Union, therefore, requests the Chief PMG kindly to issue suitable instructions and ensure that CGL of CO/RO staff is issued in time.

Thanking you, Sir,

MACP-1/2009 05-10-2009
To
The Chief Postmaster General
Tamilnadu Circle, Chennai-600002.
Sir,

Sub: - Constitution of Screening Committee to implement MACP Scheme - reg.
Ref: - 1) Dept.of Per.&Trg. O&M No.35034/3/2008-Estt. (D) dated 19-05-2009
2) Directorate letter No.4-7/MACPS/2009-PCC dated 18-09-2009

It has been clearly stated in the O&M and Dte. Letter cited that to make the MACPS operational, the Cadre Controlling Authorities should constitute the Screening Committee within a month from the date of issue of the instructions to consider cases which are already due and maturing up to 31-03-2010, for grant of benefits under MACPS.

It is disheartening to bring it to the kind notice of the Chief PMG that the benefits of the earlier ACP Scheme (of August 1999) are yet to be granted to Electrical Staff of C.O.

In the above circumstances, this Union therefore, requests the Chief PMG kindly to issue suitable instructions to constitute the Screening Committee consisting of a Chairman and two members with flair to help officials and well versed with the Administrative Staff Rulings to ensure that the benefits of the MACPS are granted to all eligible officials, within the stipulated time.

An early and favourable order is earnestly solicited.
Yours faithfully,
