Postmaster Cadre restructure query to team AIAPC

Dear Team AIAPC....

      We should appreciate your efforts towards the concerns and emotions of the Postmaster cadre. But the information received from DTE is not true and not at all consoling too.

      As a AIAPS team we also moved with directorate we already had received a positive reply. So We are in anguish towards the results of PM Cadre and very exact reason for delaying the PM cadre expressed by the Directorate is very pathetic.

      Query of common postmasters and team AIAPS are produced below. Kindly keep the same too while moving towards this issue.

Query of Common Postmasters and Team AIAPS
ADG, Estt-1(PE1)

Subject:
Cadre Restructuring of PM Cadre
Our team visited here basically for Cadre Restructuring of PM Cadre The ADG Est-1 was on leave. During the discussion held at this section, it has come to the notice that the CR process of RMS & SBCO is going on.
TeamAIAPC also informed that already an internal meeting was held at the Directorate regarding CR of remaining cadres. In this meeting it was resolved that as PM Cadre has not yet completed its minimum service for 5 yrs required for CR, hence the CR for PM Cadre could not preformed at this time. An extract of DOPT’s instruction in this regard is reproduced below:
Cadre review is an important aspect of cadre management. It ensures a healthy balance between the functional requirements of an organisation and legitimate career aspirations of its officers. The thrust of such an exercise is on scientific manpower projection and recruitment planning in order to rationalise the cadre structure as also to enhance efficiency, morale and effectiveness of the service/cadre. In terms of the extant guidelines, ideal periodicity of cadre review is once every five years.

However, we have been assured that after completion of RMS & SBCO etc., the CR of PM Cadre will be considered in favourable manner. We provided all of our logics while discussion, but we was advised by the concerned section that all of our anomaly must be re-submitted in proper manner with all grievances at the end of December-2016 or starting of January -2017.
1. If so, PM cadre was introduced during December 2010 itself. Already 5 years 9 months are gone. There is no question of completion of 5 years.

2. If so in the discussions of Cadre restructure of official and staff side PM cadre proposal was also discussed and we already had a bilateral agreement to consider the PM Cadre proposal on the light of the same at par with Group-C.

3. If so Group-C norm based LSG posts would be placed with G.P Rs.4200 but the same norm based LSG posts - PM cadre offices shall be kept with G.P Rs.2800/-. 
If so Then same work but different discriminated pay to Postmasters. Isnt it?

Why these conflicts?
So Dear team AIAPC....

           You have mentioned that 3 years was wasted by childish manner. If so you are also doing the same running towards court cases instead of functioning under a recognised forum. Already two years wasted by you too. For the past one year single hearing was taken place in the jodhpur court case.

           Above all why not even interim orders hon'ble court was not pressed by your team? Court itself had ordered to not to decide anything about Postmaster cadre until the final outcome of that jodhpur court case in the membership verification process 2015. That order is itself not pressed by the team AIAPC. What is the purpose of court trials are being conducted by you?

SEPTEMBER 2 STRIKE - STAND OF POSTMASTER CADRE AND POSTAL SUPERVISOR OFFICIALS

Dear Postmasters and Postal Supervisors,

        On september 2 strike, Postmaster cadre officials will NOT participate and all the postmaster grade 1,2,3 offices shall be kept opened and proportionate transactions shall be done as per the available staffs on that day.

      All the AIAPS(GL) Postal supervisors(General Line) shall work in their concerned branches allocated.

        Because of the following reasons, AIAPS(GL) is NOT participating in the strike.

1. As per the CHQ call some unions are participating in this strike. Our CHQ is not invited to participate in this strike by JCA. Hence we are NOT participating in this strike.

2. No demand is placed for our Postmaster cadre and general line supervisors. Not only this strike for the past 4 years, no demand was placed in respect to the Postmaster cadre grievances.

3. Already we had a very bitter experience with the july 11th indefinite strike call. Because of the double stand, we lost our 10 months HRA and other allowances. 

AIAPS(GL) has taken the case of violation of DPC norms while Postmaster Grade III promotion

To,
          The Honorable Chief Postmaster General,
          Tamilnadu Circle,
          Chennai 600002.

Respected sir,

        Subject : Violation of norms in the promotion of Postmaster Grade III - reg
Ref : Directorate letter No. 04-43/2013-SPB-II dated at Dak Bhavan, Sansad Marg, New Delhi the 28.04.2016.

         Vide above reference, directorate expedite the action from circles to fill all the unfilled Grade II and Grade III posts.

        But unfortunately in the 2 recent DPCs, some due Postmaster Grade II officials’ promotion is barred by saying the “censure as a punishment” and “currency period voided punishments” which are clearly being a violation of guidelines circulated already while conducting the DPCs.
