Editor: K.V. SRIDHARAN
There is a misapprehension in the minds ofsome of our members that our Union / Federation
has consented to the Government to expel or eliminate
of ED Union from NFPE.
Not even an iota of truth in the purported false
propaganda. The Federation Circular dated 29-05-
2007 would have cleared all the doubts prevailing
hitherto and no other explanation needs at this
juncture.
The Department of Personnel which is the
nodal ministry forming and framing the policy of the
Government of India has categorically stipulated that
Federations can be formed and recognised onlyamong the unions which cover the Government
servants to whom CCS (Conduct) Rules 1964 apply
and granted recognition under the RSA Rules 1993.
Since the GDS Union is recognised under
different set of rules framed locally by the Department
of Posts, the DoP&T time and again rejected our
request for the inclusion of GDS Union in the
Federation. Now we are pushing to the wall either to
accept recognition without GDS Union or remain
without recognition.
We have not participated the first verification
of membership in 1995 duly rejecting the various
provisions of the recognition of service associationrules. FNPO & BPEF participated. The FNPO, thus
could secure more than 15%. Thereafter we
participated in the second verification held in 1997 in
which we secured the first position. In the first
verification for GDS, in 1997, there is only one union
(i.e. AIPEDE Union) recognised. If we would have
missed the bus then, the loss would have been
miserable.
Similar is the position now. FNPO has applied
for recognition as per DoP&T guidelines. We cannot
be left in isolation. The decision of the NFPE thatwe can get recognition first and continue our efforts
for the inclusion of GDS Union is the only alternative
available. Till then the GDS Union remains part &
parcel of the NFPE as an associated member and
will have all rights unofficially except holding offices
which is prohibited due to the DoP&T guidelines.
In many circles there is no RJCM; No regular
periodical meeting or Departmental Council meeting
since 1995; No nomination of fresh members;
Resultantly the conciliation machinery become totally
defunct. Without official recognition, nothing is
possible to mitigate demands and improve thesituation. One should accept the fact that without
proper recognition of the Government, we could not
clinch even small issues and take forward our
movement further. We have no other alternative!
Unless the policy of the Government is
changed and liberalise the Federation recognition
rules which is practically impossible to exercise
since 2002 to till day, there is no chance in the
immediate nearby to modify the policy of the
Government in this regard. We are in between Fire
and Frying Pan; Devil and Deep Sea. We have to
come out from the situation without anyt damage toour movement.
Let us be practical and plain. Let us notdrift
or dither away with imaginary thinkings and forget
the reality and reasons. Let us not play any game
for the sake of others. Let us realise the reality and
consider the only option available before us to accept
recognition and fight further for the inclusion of GDS
union in our Federation. Let us think positively, act,
advance and achieve our goal to affiliate GDS Union
in future by sustained struggles after availing
recognition to our Federation.
Realised the Reality and ResponsibilityEditorial
2BHARTIYA POST JULY, 2007
LETTERS TO DEPARTMENTLetter No.P/2-13/Mah Cle Dated: 06 June 2007
address to the Secretary, Department of Posts
l Acceptance of cheques in Savings Bank
Account if maximum limit is likely to exceed -
reg.
Ref.: This union letter of even number dated
20-03-2007
Apropos reference, I wish to state that no
clarification on this account has been issued so far by
the Directorate.
The clarification sought from the Directorate by
the Pr. Chief PMG, Maharashtra Circle whether to
accept cheques in case if the cheque is issued against
maturity of any of our POSB scheme in the POSB
account which will encourage the customers or not. If
the limit of single & joint accounts is enhanced, it will
certainly bring more business.
It is requested to consider the same and cause
orders enhancing the limit at the earliest.
A line in reply about the action taken is highly
solicited.
Letter No. P/2-14/Cle Dated: 06 June 2007
addressed to the Secretary, Department of Posts
l Alarming & tense situation prevailing in
Madhya Pradesh Circle - request effective
intervention.
Ref.: This union letter of even no. dated 01-02-
2007, 08-02-2007 & 20-03-2007
A kind attention is invited to the assurance given
during discussions on the subject that you will
effectively intervene and render justice to the affected
officials.
Whereas our Circle Secretary, Sri S.C. Jain has
been proceeded under Rule 14 charges with the
fabricated and concocted charges that he along with
the Divisional Secretary, Rajput entered the chamber
of PSD Bhopal without permission and disturbed his
official duties and also he had given press statement.
This is nothing but to aggravate the situations
and such vindictive actions based on the direction of
circle head is deplorable and causing concern.
Similarly, the retransfer to PSD or any bigger offices
requested by the Circle Secretary has been turned
down by the circle office. No formal / informal meetings
has been entertained by the circle head since January
2007 resulting accumulation of problems.
Under these circumstances, I fervently request
to kindly intervene and restore the situation to normalcy
besides arresting vendettas and vindictive actions.
Your immediate intervention is highly solicited.
Letter No. P/2-15/Agartala Dated: 06 June 2007
addressed to the Secretary, Department of Posts
l Non-according BCR promotion -- case of
Agartala Division, North East Circle - reg.
Despite the issue discussed with the DPS,
Agartala in the Bi-monthly meeting by the Circle Union,
no action has been initiated so far to accord BCR
promotion to the eligible officials. The review, as learnt
is pending for years and many officials have retired
without conferring BCR promotion. This causes a
concern.
It is therefore requested to cause necessary
orders to NE Circle to accord BCR promotion to the
eligible officials without any further delay.
Soliciting response.
Letter No.P/2-15/Agartala Dated: 06 June 2007
addressed to the Secretary, Department of Posts
l Immunity from transfer for the Treasurer,
AIPEU Group 'C', Agartala Division in North East
Circle - reg.
It is brought to our notice that the immunity
transfer to the Headquarters requested by the newly
elected divisional treasurer of Agartala Division Sri Sabir
Kanti Bhusan has not been considered and transferred
to other post office.
It is requested to cause necessary instructions
to consider immunity transfer to the newly elected
treasurer as per the guidelines of the Directorate.
Soliciting response,
Letter No. P/2-16/Or Cle Dated: 08 June 2007
addressed to the Secretary, Department of Posts
l Meagre allocation of funds under computer
loan in Orissa Circle - reg.
It is brought to our notice that a sum of Rs.
1,20,000/- (One lakh twenty thousand) has been
allotted to Orissa Circle for sanction of computer
advance to the staff. This amount is sufficient to pay
advance to three applicants only @Rs. 30,000/- each
whereas near about 200 applications have been
received and pending. Therefore, nearly 60 lakhs of
rupees are required to be allotted as funds under the
head computer advance to Orissa Circle to promote
computer knowledge amidst the officials willing to
obtain loan for the purchase of computers.
It is therefore requested that required amount
may please be allotted to Orissa Circle and also
3BHARTIYA POST JULY, 2007
sufficiently to all other circles.
Soliciting response,
Letter No. P/2-19/TN Cle Dated: 08 June 2007
addressed to the Secretary, Department of Posts
l Deputation of accounts qualified staff
working in Tamilnadu Circle to the DOT-CELL
controller of communication accounts as Senior
Acct / Junior Actt.
The DOT Cell in Chennai has called for
volunteers vide their letter No. CCS /TN/Admin/JA.
Recruit/06/6 dated 15-02-2007. Accordingly the Chief
PMG called for applications among the PA / SA cadre
with accounts qualification and computer knowledge.
It seems that about 100 applications have been received
and forwarded to the DOT Cell. Among those
applications 55 have been shortlisted for DPC
procedure by the DOT and the CRS were called for.
But only 20 CRS have been sent by the Circle
administration to the DOT. In the DPC of the DOT 18
officials have been selected for the post of Senior
Accountants in Rs. 5500 scale. The select list was
sent to the Pr. Chief PMG, Tamilnadu Circle and the
relief is requested.
It is learnt that the Circle Administration has
decided not to relieve any official. Most of the selected
officials are qualified JAOs and PO and RMS
Accountants. This will result in denial of dues. Already
7 JAOs posts in Tamilnadu are being manned by the
Railway Staff on deputation due to the same decision
taken earlier by the Circle Administration.
Since we are demanding and finding ways to
wipe out JAO qualified list, the decision of the Circle
Administration even not in favour of deputation is
causing concern and dependable.
It is therefore requested to cause instructions
to relieve shortlisted 18 officials on deputation so that
the officials will get their dues.
Soliciting response,
Letter No. P/2-20/Varanasi West, Dated: 06 June 2007
addressed to the Secretary, Department of Posts
l Imposing of penalty in the shape of
monetary recovery on contributory factor -- case
of Taliabag SO fraud in Varanasi West Division,
Uttar Pradesh Circle
Ref.: This union letter of even number dated
08-02-2007
Apropos reference, it is constrained to note that
instead of initiating action to confiscate the properly
and belongings of the main offender, the SSPOs is
now unleashing action against 60 more innocent
officials under contributory factor. No action has been
taken against the inspecting officer since 1995 to 2004
who contributed major factor in this episode. This
causes a concern.
The spirit of the Directorate instructions
contained in letter No. C-32016/07/2006-UP dated 14-
11-2006 has been totally defeated and the innocents
are fixed as scapegoats leaving the main offender scat
free.
It is to requested kindly intervene and save the
innocents from the orders of recovery and render justice
and fair play.
Soliciting immediate action.
Letter No.P/2-21/Cle Dated: 08 June 2007
addressed to the DDG (P), Department of Posts
l Non-filling up of selection grade posts --
case of Uttarakhand Circle - reg.
It is brought to our notice that despite effective
efforts taken by the Directorate, the process of filling
up of LSG posts on notional basis has not been
commenced in the said circle. This is unwarrantly
delayed at circle office.
Similarly the vacant post of Deputy Postmaster,
Pithoragarh has not been filled up so far despite the
fact that it is brought to our notice earlier.
The PA gradation list for grant LSG promotion
has also not been prepared and finalised so far.
It is therefore requested to cause necessary
instruction to complete the process and monitor the
progress.
Soliciting response.
Letter No.P/2-21/UK Cle Dated: 08 June 2007
addressed to the Secretary, Department of Posts
Non-payment of Remote Locality
Allowance to some places -- case of Uttarakhand
Circle - reg.
It is brought to our notice that the officials working
in Champa district at places like Tankpur, Chandani,
Banbana, have not been paid with RLA whereas the
same has been paid to other central government
employees like Central School, Railway etc.
The issue was taken by the circle union with
the Circle Administration and it is learnt that file is
being tossed from pillar to post over the years.
Resultantly, the postal employees stationed at those
places could not get their dues.
It is therefore requested to cause expedite action
to obtain sanction for the grant of RLA to our
employees also at the earliest.
Soliciting response.

untold sufferings.You are, therefore, once again requested to
intervene into the matter and put a halt of theexcessiveness and arbitrary misuse of powers of theDivisional Superintendent.
A line in reply about the action taken is highlysolicited.Letter No. P/2-17/Hoshiarpur Dated: 30 May 2007addressed to DDG (P), Department of Postsl Induction Training to the direct recruitees -- case of Hoshiarpur Division in Punjab Circle -reg.
It is brought to our notice that due to the courtcase filed by a GDS about the recruitment of PostalAssistants from open market for the unfilled up residualvacancies, the recruitment process for 13 PA postsmade in 2005 has been stopped. Now, the CAT hasdismissed the petition on 19-01-2007. However, thecandidates selected for the vacancies at HoshiarpurDivision have not been imparted with the inductiontraining.The reason for such delay, as stated, is due to non-receipt of reports about the character verifications,antecedents etc. from the District Magistrates. Thisis pending over year. The next induction training isstarting from June 2007.It is therefore requested to cause instructions to theChief PMG, Punjab Circle to depute the candidates tothe Training provisionally pending verification of thecertificates and cause filling up of the vacancies onregular measure after their training.A line in reply about the action taken is highly solicited.Letter No. P/4-1/India Post Dated: 30 May 2007addressed to Secretary, Department of Postsl Road Map of India Post -- Measures for op-timum utilisation of manpower - reg.
It is rather dismayed to hear that the Directo-rate has sought comments & suggestions to restruc-ture the Divisions and Head post offices, PSD, CSDetc. vide its letter No. 25-14-2007-PE.I dated 30-04-2007 which is quite against to the assurance madeduring the talks held on 19-04-2007 that there will beno merger of divisions / post offices.
The proposal, as it seems, has very seriousrepercussions and will dismantle the existing struc-ture. We record our concern and it is requested todrop such proposals in toto and allow status quo whichis viable and proved practical.Letter No. P/4-1/Promotion Dated: 30 May 2007addressed to Secretary, Department of Postsl Deprivation caused to incumbents officiat-ing to Higher Posts on adhoc basis---regarding.
In accordance with the existing provision of FR-22 (I)(a) (1), an official who has been promoted or ap-pointed to a higher post, i.e. any post involving higher
duties and responsibilities, either on substantive oron adhoc/officiating basis, is likely to get the benefitof continuance to the said higher post as far as exer-cising option for formal pay fixation on being regularlyappointed to the same (higher) post is concerned. Thesaid option will become in force from the date of initialadhoc appointment/promotion and is subjected to thecondition that the said adhoc appointment/promotionis followed by substantive/regular appointment/promo-tion to the said (higher) post without any break.In accordance to the existing ruling position (issuedby the DoPT), an official can not hold any higher poston adhoc/officiating basis continuously for a period ofmore than 1 (one) year at a stretch. As such, thenormal convention is that the officiating incumbent isreverted back to his/her substantive incumbency be-fore completion of 1 (one) year and subsequently he/she is again promoted/appointed, on adhoc basis, tothe same higher post just after, if he/she is otherwiseeligible for the same.
The negative aspect in relation to this existingruling position is that the official is unnecessarily de-prived from getting the benefit of continuation as far asexercising option on regular appointment is concernedand in turn, the official is hugely deprived from mon-etary aspect in relation to formal pay-fixation underFR-22 (I) (a) (1). This scenario is mostly observed innumerous cases of promotion to HSG-I.
The matter is totally in contravention of the
Principle of Natural Justice. It has also been observed
that the position is not the same in cases of ASPO s/
ASRM s officiating against PS Group-B posts. This
kind of discrimination in the same Department actu-
ally brings down the staff morale of Gr-C cadre em-
ployees. The matter may please be looked into at
the earliest and the relaxation to the ruling position
may please be provided.
Letter No.P/4-1/LSG Dated: 30 May 2007
addressed to DDG (P), Department of Posts
l Grant of LSG Notional Promotion - reg.
While thanking the good gesture in issuing clari-
fications about the grant of notional promotion from
the date it was discontinued, which is purposeful, I
wish to request to consider that the unfilled up 2/3rd
vacancies in LSG earmarked from 2002 to 2006 may
also be filled up along with 1/3rd vacancies among the
senior officials on notional basis.
This will facilitate to have more number of eligible LSG
official to avail HSG.II promotion, without resorting to
exemption and seniors will be benefited due to their
early LSG promotion.
It is therefore requested to consider the same and
accord orders early.

NATIONAL FEDERATION OF POSTAL EMPLOYEES1st Floor, North Avenue Post Office Building, New Delhi-110001
No. PF-12(e)/2006 Dated : 29th May, 2007
RECOGNITION OF FEDERATIONS
Dear Comrades,
The Central Government has issued guidelines
vide DOP&T No. 2/14/98-JCA dated 3rd July 2002 for
recognition of Federations. The Central Civil Services
(Recognitions of Service Associations) Rules-1993
covers all Central Government Employees to whom
the CCS (Conduct) Rules 1964 apply. The approval of
recognition to the Federation would be accorded only
with the federating unions / Associations recognized
under CCS (RSA) Rules 1993. It was clarified by the
DOP&T and Department of Posts that the Unions
recognized under CCS(RSA) Rules-1993 are only
eligible for affiliation. Unions recognized under different
rules in the Department of Posts are not eligible to be
federated with the Federation.
However, the National Federation of Postal
Employees in its Federal Executive meeting held on
14th August, 2002 decided to apply for Recognition of
the Federation with all unions including ED Union. It
was also decided that if the Govt. not accepting it,
then we can resubmit the application accordingly. The
NFPE has submitted application on 22nd August, 2002.
There was no response from the Govt. for long period.
When queries were made in this regard, it was revealed
that the verification of membership results held in
November 2000 could not be announced due to the
Stay Order granted by the Hon'ble Chennai High Court
on a petition filed by the BPEF. The NFPE then
decided to implead in the court case pending since
2000. The Hon'ble High Court of Chennai vacated the
stay order for announcement of verification results
during April, 2006. Accordingly, The Department of
Posts ordered recognition of unions secured eligible
membership on 30th June, 2006. All our affiliates
secured status of first Unions in the Department of
Posts. There after the Department of Posts had asked
to submit the application for recognition of Federations
under CCS (RSA) Rules - 1993. The NFPE had
submitted application for recognition of the Federation
to the Department of Posts on 26th June, 2006
federating all unions including ED union.
The Department of Posts vide letter No. 6-2/
2002-SR (Vol.II) dated 13th July 2006, after scrutiny
of the application intimated that the ED Union can not
be allowed to federate with the Federations as they
are not regular / full time Central Govt. Employees,
according to DOP&T. On receipt of this communication
from the Govt., all General Secretaries including ED
Union met Secretary (Posts) on 20th July, 2006 and
requested for an appropriate action for affiliation of ED
Union. The NFPE had also taken up with the Hon'ble
Minister (C) for appropriate action at his level vide its
No. PF-124/2006 dated 7th August, 2006.
Recognition of Federation was one of the items
in the Charter of Demands, for which indefinite strike
notice was served to the Department w.e.f. 24th April,
2007. The Department of Posts communicated to the
NFPE the item wise position of the strike charter vide
letter No. 8-1/2007(SR) Pt. of dated 22-2-2007 in which
it was stated that on the initiative of the ED Union Shri
Gurudas Dasgupta, Member of Parliament (Lok Sabha)
wrote to the DOP&T for affiliation of unions representing
Gramin Dak Sewaks with the Federation which is not
in the line with the Policy of the Government.
The DOP&T vide No. 2/5/2006-JCA dated 19th
April, 2007 ordered that All India Postal Extra
Departmental Employees Union included as one of
the affiliates of the Federation by the NFPE is not
eligible for affiliation and the same will not be treated
as Federated with the NFPE. The proposal of the
Federation to federate All India Postal Accts.
Employees Association has been approved. The
DOP&T and the Dept. of Posts vide DG (Posts) No. 6-
2/2002-SR(Vol.III) dated 24-4-2007 has asked the
Federation to modify the constitutional provisions of
NFPE as per the observations made by them in their
letters referred above. The NFPE had replied to the
Dept. of Posts for granting recognition of Federation
with all relevant documents required to be submitted
to the Department from the Unions recognized under
CCS (RSA)Rule-1993.
7BHARTIYA POST JULY, 2007
All Unions are of the firm view to obtain
recognition to the Federation. Accordingly, Federal
Secretariat meeting was held on 30th April 2007.
Available office bearers and General Secretaries were
present in the meeting. Com. S.S. Mahadevaiah GS,
ED union demanded not to accept the recognition to
NFPE without ED union. All other leaders present
expressed their desire to get the recognition first and
then continue efforts for inclusion of GDS in the
Federation. The Secretary General has conveyed in
the meeting that the NFPE will continue its efforts as
before for settlement of their legitimate demands and
they will remain as part of the postal fraternity. The
NFPE only had all along struggled for the cause of
GDS and will continue to be an umbrella organisation
for safeguarding the interest of entirety of Postal
Workers including GDS.
The NFPE has neither elimated nor expelled
E.D. Union from the Federation at any point of time.
Despite our best efforts we could not concede the
demand for affiliation of ED Union due to the existing
Policy, rules and instructions of the Govt. on recognition
of Unions and Federations in the Central Govt.
Departments including Dept. of Posts. However, we
will continue our sincere and serious efforts for
inclusion of GDS Union under the banner of NFPE.
Federation in the Dept. of Posts were
unrecognized since 1995. Negotiating forums at all
levels were not available till now. JCM Regional
Councils, Departmental Council, National Council,
Periodical Meetings etc. are totally paralyzed. We
managed with limited facilities all these years
Recognition of the Federation will only strengthen the
movement further. It will also facilitate improvement in
the long pending burning issues of GDS employees.
False propaganda unleashed by ED union CHQ and
some vested interests against seeking recognition of
the Federation is not in the interest of the Postal
Workers including GDS.
In view of the details dwelt in the above paras
we call upon all Circle/Divisional/Branch Secretaries
to hold General body meetings and explain the reality
of the situations and unify the entirety of Postal
Employees to resist the onslaughts to achieve the
legitimate demands of postal workers.
All officials elected in the Federal Council
Secession held during November 2004 at
Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) as office bearers, and
subsequently retired from service, and GDS officials
elected as office bearers will cease to be office bearers
of the Federation on recognition of National Federation
of Postal Employees.
All General Secretaries and Circle Secretaries
are requested to circulate this circular to all Divisions
and Branch unions and direct them to hold general
body meetings and report the whole developments to
all postal workers.
Let us unite and march ahead.
With Fraternal Greetings.
Yours Comradely,

FROM GENERAL SECRETARY'S DESK
Introspection
Dear Comrades,
After a long time, I am interacting with my
Branch / Divisional Secretaries through this News letter.
Since we assumed charge in the CHQ, 250 days have
gone. It needs a self introspection about the
functioning of the CHQ to correct the errors and
mistakes and also enrich its functioning further. I
request the Feed back from my Branch / Divisional
Secretaries.
I can proudly say that now we are concentrating
our own demands, which are pending years together.
Almost all the LSG, HSG.II, HSG.I, posts are being
filled up. You could realise the swift action. The
vacancies pending since 2000-2001 under residual are
being filled up. Many orders we obtained for our P-III
comrades. The submission of memorandum to Sixth
Pay Commission, oral evidence, further meetings etc.
are the testimony to gauge our commitment to this
august organisation. I am really expecting a feed back
from all of you whether it will be an appreciation or
constructive criticism.
Now, let us come to the recent developments

In the seminar, we interacted in many areas
about revenue, Business Post, Training, incentives to

Discussions with DDG (P) on 25-05-2007
about PO and RMS Accountants problems
The discussions had taken place on 25-05-2007
at 11:00 hrs. and I insisted the following to mitigate
the problems.
(i) As number of APM LSG Accounts (Feeder
Cadre) is lesser and many of them have been upgraded
to HSG.II earlier, some HSG.II APM Accounts post
be reduced to the status of LSG and maintain the
ratio of LSG, HSG.II & HSG.I as 40:40:20.
(ii) According to Recruitment Rules, the date of
qualifying the PO and RMS Accountants Exam shall
be the determining factor for promotion to APM
Accounts and the vacant posts be filled up as per the
Recruitment Rules.
From the department side, the following were stated:-
(i) Earlier, as most of the HSG.II / HSG.I vacancies
were occupied by the Accounts line officials, the
reservation of 20% has been withdrawn based on the
demands of the staff side. As such there is no chance of
revival of reservation to APM Accounts in HSG.II & HSG.I.
(ii) If the General line officials in HSG.II are posted
as APM Accounts, they can be imparted with
adequate training on accounts matters since the
Accounts line has lost its identity.
(iii) If the LSG APM Accounts Rules is revived, there
is a chance of occupying the HSG.II & HSG.I posts
by such officials only and in long run it will deny
10BHARTIYA POST JULY, 2007
promotions to General line officials.
Therefore, I discussed and suggested the following.
(i) Accounts line may be declared as a separate cadre
and number of HSG.II & HSG.I may be provided
for their promotional avenues. There is no need to
occupy their lines by General line officials and vice
versa.
(ii) The seniority list of PO and RMS Accountants
qualified officials be maintained at circle level to
accord LSG promotion based on the date of
qualification. The officials who did not get LSG
promotion in Accounts line may join with the main
stream and as and when due for regular LSG
(General line) based on the PA Gradation list.
(iii) As per the 1958 & 1959 instructions, fresh
options may be obtained from the existing PO
and RMS qualified officials either to opt or out
from the Accounts line. Based on this Gradation
list be maintained.
The Department in its sharp reaction mentioned
that there is no chance of keeping two-gradation list
for one cadre and keeping two avenues of promotions
as per the DoP&T guidelines. It sought and other
suggestions other than this. We did not subscribe to
the revival of old defunct cadre of PO and RMS
Accountant.
Finally, we told that the grievances of the PO
and RMS Accounts qualified officials in according their
LSG / HSG.II / HSG.I promotions should be settled
based on the discussions to evolve any formula other
than we suggested without affecting the interest of
both Accounts / General line officials. We placed that
the PO and RMS Accountants posts should be
upgraded to a promotional post equal to LSG to sort
out the existing anomalies. The DDG (P) explained
about the demand of the Postal Accounts to
decentralise and taking in-charge of the Accounts
branch.
The DDG (P) finally told that he is very clear in
the demand of the staff side and in open mind, find out
ways & means to sort out the issue at the earliest.
All Circle Secretaries are requested to send their
opinions, suggestions too and equipping the CHQ for
further discussions in this issue.
Discussions with DDG (Establishment)
FSC - Agreed and will accord orders early revising
the rates of Fixed Stationary Charge.
Recovery for over payment - The recovery to
Accounts branch officials for drawal of over payment
to Postmen while fixation of pay after the 5th CPC --
This will be considered after having detailed study of
the court cases - (We placed this as one of the item
in the Departmental Council).
Special Pay to Accountant - A reminder will be sent
to DoP&T & MoF for orders to treat the Special
Allowance as Special Pay for fixation of pay on
promotion to PO and RMS Accountants.
Norms for RD- The suggestions putforth by the CHQ

incentive to the System Managers is under

first week of August 2007 at Allahabad. The General
Secretary, Com. K.V. Sridharan is in the job of
compiling various important Government orders which
are very much essential to the Branch / Divisional
Secretaries and decided to release the book of
"VENTURE" in the ensuing Central Working
Committee. If the Branch / Divisional Secretaries
inform the number of copies required in advance, it
will be purposeful.

11BHARTIYA POST JULY, 2007
General Secretary Desk - 07th June 2007Confederation Meeting: The National Executive
Committee Meeting of the Confederation of Central
Government Employees has been held at New Delhi
on 05-06-2007 under the Presidentship of Com. S.K.
Vyas. After long discussions, it was decided to
observe one day Token Strike during the first / second
week of August 2006 demanding settlement on the
following issues.
(i) Grant of interim relief with minimum of Rs. 1000/-.

(viii) No replacements of CGHS by Medicare

(ix) Remove the quantum ceiling on Bonus of Rs.

(x) Implementation of pending arbitration awards.
It was also decided to approach other
Organisations and Federations for a united movement
and the date of one-day token strike will be announced
after exhorting efforts with other Federations / Unions
but before the end of this month.
It is also resolved to observe 28-06-2007 as
'STRUGGLE COMMENCEMENT DAY' by holding
demonstrations at all work spots.
All the Circle Secretaries are requested to cause
necessary action in their circle for the effective conduct
of 28-06-2007 programme and intimate compliance
reports to CHQ.
The copy of the Confederation Circular is
enclosed herewith. All are requested to popularise the
demand by issuing circular in regional language.
Observe 4th Death Anniversary of Com. K.
Adinarayana: The NFPE has directed all the
branches to observe the 4th Death Anniversary of Com.
K. Adinarayana on 17th June 2007 as "UNITY DAY".
His contributions to the working class be remembered
on the day and let us salute and pay tribute to our
beloved leader. All are requested to observe the day
as "Unity Day" to strengthen our movement further to
restrict the attacks.
Filling up of Residual Vacancies: The Directorate
vide its order No. 60-5/2007-SPB.I dated 15-05-2007
directed to fill up all the vacant posts under residual
categories in Postman / Postal Assistants etc. as per
Recruitment Rules and also directed to send proposals
if any required for revival of the posts.
However, I feel that the gravity of the issue is not
properly known and rigorous monitoring at Circle level
is lacking. The unfilled posts earmarked for LGOs in
PA cadre since 2000-01 to till date should be filled up
immediately as per the latest orders. In many circles,
they have simply abolished such posts as those posts
were kept vacant for more than one year. Since the
exam was held and also the process of filling up the
posts had been started, such posts should not be
brought under axing. Hence the Directorate sought
proposals for such posts for revival in case of earlier
abolition. If those posts were not abolished but simply
kept in skeleton, such posts should be filled up
immediately as per the Recruitment Rules. (i.e. If no
GDS is eligible, the posts may be filled up by open
market methods.)
All Circle Secretaries are requested to verify the
position of residual vacancies and cause appropriate
action to fill up them immediately as per the orders
cited in para supra. A report on this may please be
sent to CHQ.
GDS Working Committee Meeting: The Central
Working Committee meeting of the AIPEDE Union has
been held at Aggarwal Dharmshala, Model Town, New
Delhi on 03-06-2007 & 04-06-2007. Com. K.V.
Sridharan, General Secretary inaugurated the open
session. In his speech, he detailed the exact position
on recognition and the need for the unity to counter
the onslaughts on GDS and also to take serious efforts
for the affiliation with NFPE in future. Com. C.C. Pillai,
Secretary General, NFPE explained the position in
detail and asserted that the NFPE has not expelled
the GDS Union as alleged and the need to fight unitedly

LEFT WANTS NEW PENSIONSCHEME PUT ON HOLD
Expressing surprise and strong disapproval
over the decision of the interim Pension Fund
Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) to
operationalise the pension scheme, leaders of the
Left parties have asked Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh to put it on hold.
Reacting to the PFRDA's invitation for
Expressions of Interest for sponsoring a Pension
Fund under the New Pension Scheme, they said
the Left parties had been opposed to the PFRDA
Bill.
The leaders said that many rounds of
discussions on the matter were held at the UPA
Government-Left Coordination Committee meetings.
The Bill had not been taken up for adoption pending
consensus on this. "It is, therefore, surprising that
the PFRDA has proceeded to operationalise the
pension scheme. In the name of an interim step,
some of the objectionable features of the Bill are
going to be put in place. We wish to register our
strong disapproval of this move," the leaders said in
a joint letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
The letter dated May 18, was released on Sunday.

additional funds under Major Head 7610-204
Computer Advance. Consequent of

Lakhs only under Computer Advance was

meager.

Pension Funds : 26% Allowed for Foreign C.O.New Delhi: Foreign companies may manage pension
funds of Central and state government employees
now. The foreign funds would be allowed to own up
to 26 percent stake in entities that will be set up by
state-owned banks, mutual funds and financial
institutions to manage the pension funds.
The Govt. has allowed for FDI in the entities that will
be floated by public sector institutions for the purpose.
The Pension Regulatory & Development Authority
(PFRDA), which has already appointed National
Securities Depository Ltd. (NSDL) as the central
record keeping agency, has invited preliminary bids
to appoint pension fund managers.
Only financial institutions and banks in which Govt.
has at least 51% share and manage assets worth
Rs.10,000 crore, can apply.
The sources said the public sector financial
institutions will, however, have to float separate
companies for pension fund business.
These companies, which can have up to 26 per cent
FDI stake, would need to have paid up capital of at
least Rs. 10 crore.

CITIZEN'S CHARTER OF DEPT. OF POSTS
l Revision/updating of the Citizens' Charter ofthe Department of Posts.
As you may be aware, the Government of India,
Department of Administrative Reforms and Public
Grievance has launched a major initiative viz
"Sevottam" for achieving excellence in public service
delivery by the various Government Ministries/

by the public service provider. India Post takes pride
as one of the 10 leading Departments which has taken
the initiative for implementation of "Sevottam".
2. One of the requirements for implementation of
"Sevottam" is to put in place the Citizens' Charter
defining the minimum service norms for public service
delivery. Accordingly, a detailed draft Citizens' Charter
has been prepared and it is proposed to finalize the
same in consultation with the various stakeholders.
Since ultimately the implementation of the Citizens'
Charter would depend upon the concerned staff at the

(DG(P) Letter No. 25-14/2007-PE.I
Dated 30-04-2007)
l Road Map of India Post-Measures for
optimum utilization of manpower
I am directed to say that due to various
factors emerging in communication system it is
felt that new norms should be formulated for postal
traffic. In this connection you are requested to
furnish your comments on the fo l lowing
suggestions:
(a) Every circle should have only one PSD and
one CSD unless the traff ic and distance
requirements are required otherwise.
(b) Every district should have only HPO prescribed
by Gzetted Postmaster with the exception of
Sub standard office which do not justify further
continuation.
(c) Every district should have one postal division
for which traffic and population requirements
necessitate otherwise a second division can
be considered but more than two divisions are
not justifiable under any circumstances.
(d) In order to avoid problemsin fi l l ing up of
manpower needs in HSG.I and HSG.II, the
grade can be merged after the Sixth Pay
Comission has considered this aspect, the
HSG grades can be merged so that there is
simplification of grades because the last Pay
Comission and the earlier Pay Comission
rovided overlapping pay scales with little or no
benefit to the staff.
2. Your comments may be sent to this office at
the earliest.
3. This issues with the approval of DDG (Estt.)
Filling up of residual vacancies
(D.G. (P). Lr. No. 60-5/2007-SPB-I
dated 15-05-2007)
l I am directed to invite your attention on the
Recruitment Rules of Postmen. The Recruitment
Rules prescribe that 50% of vacancies will be filled by
promotion from Group 'D' failing which by Gramin Dak
Sevaks on the basis of merit. Of the remaining 50%
of vacancies, 25% will be filled by Gramin Dak Sevaks
with minimum 15 years of service on the basis of
seniority and 25% from the Gramin Dak Sevaks on
the basis of merit in the examination. In case the
vacancies still remain unfilled, then it will be filled
up by Gramin Dak Sevaks of the neighbouring
Divisions or by Gramin Dak Sevaks in the Region.
Only thereafter, the residual vacancies will be filled
up by direct recruitment through the nominees of
the Employment Exchange. It is possible that
adequate number of Gramin Dak Sevaks may not
have become successful for appointment as
Postman and perhaps certain residual vacancies
exist in Circles.
2. Similarly, the Recruitment Rules of Postal
Assistant / Sorting Assistant provide that 50% of
the vacancies are to be filled by direct recruitment
and the remaining 50% vacancies are required to
be filled up by departmental examination held for
LGOs failing which the unfilled vacancies are offered
to the Gramin Dak Sevaks subject to their fulfilling
the prescribed age and education qualification. It
is possible that adequate numbers of LGOs may
not pass the examination and also that eligible
Gramin Dak Sevaks may not become available. It
may please be noted that as laid down in the existing
Recruitment Rules if the vacancies remain unfilled
by Gramin Dak Sevaks, such residual vacancies of
Postal Assistants / Sorting Assistants are required
to be filled up by subsequent direct recruitment of
open market candidates.
3. It may please be noted that the optimisation of
direct recruitment to civil posts, ordered vide
Department of Personnel & Training's O.M. dated
16th May 2001 is appl icable to only direct
recruitment vacancies. The unfilled 'Promotion
quota' vacancies i.e. the residual vacancies will not
come under the purview of the Screening Committee
or the Annual Direct Recruitment Plans even if these
are eventually required to be filled up by direct
recruitment. Thus, such residual vacancies arising
in the cadres of Postmen / Postal Assistants /
Sorting Assistants after making all attempts to fill
up by various modes of recruitment provided in the
Recruitment Rules if are still lying unfilled should
be filled up through Employment exchange as in
the case of Postmen or by direct recruitment of other
open market candidates as in the case of Postal
Assistants / Sorting Assistants in accordance with
the Recruitment Rules.
4. It is requested that the Circles may accordingly
take action to identify the residual vacancies and fill
23BHARTIYA POST JULY, 2007
up such posts as per the provisions contained in the
Recruitment Rules. However, filling up such unfilled
'promotion quota' vacancies by direct recruitment
should be done in accordance with general instructions
regarding filling up of vacant posts as issued from time
to time. If the posts are to be revived, such cases
should be referred to the Establishment Division of
the Directorate.

2006 in Dak Bhawan, New Delhi, it was brought to
the notice of Secretary (Posts) that the services of

The undersigned is directed to forward a copy

guidance and appropriate action.
Copy of D.G. (P) Cir. Lr. No. 137-4/2006-SPB-II
Dated 22-05-2007
l It may please be recalled that as per this
Directorate's letter No. 137-4/2006-SPB.II dated
30th May 2006, it was informed that like the HSG-
I and HSG-II cadres the LSG cadre will also be a
Circle Cadre and the posts in the said Grade should
be f i l led up by promotion as per the revised
Recruitment Rules notified on 18-05-2006.
2. In order to make promotions to LsG it was
decided during the meeting, held by Dy. Director
General (Personnel) with the Astt. Postmasters
General / Asstt. Directors (Staff) on 4th May 2007,
that all the Circles will prepare and circulate the
draft Gradation List of Postal Assistants / Sorting
Assistants by the end of May 2007.
3. In this context it may be noted that prior to 30-05-
2006, the LSG was a Divisional cadre and the posts
in the said grade were required to be filled up
accordingly.
4. It may be recalled that vide this Directorate's
letter No. 4-16/2002-SPB-II dated 12-11-2002 all
the Circles were advised that norm based LSG /
HSG-II posts should be filled up notionally in terms
of the relevant Recruitment Rules from the year
when the norm based promotions had not been
carried out so that promotions to upgraded posts
in HSG-I could be made from amongst the eligible
HSG-II officials. Accordingly, all the Circles were
required to ensure that DPCs are convened to fill
up the posts notionally so as to update the filling
up of the norm-based posts.
5. It is essential to emphasize here that the
not ional promot ion to norm-based posts as
advised vide letter dated 12-11-2002 was not
supposed to be one-time exercise but was to
be carried out notionally from year to year with
effect from the year the promotions had not
been carried out. Therefore, a critical review
may be carr ied out to ensure that not ional
p r o m o t i o n s h a d b e e n c a r r i e d o u t a t t h e
Divisional level in the LSG cadre up to the year
2002 and vacanc ies wh ich arose a f te r the
no t i f i ca t i on o f r ev i sed Rec ru i tmen t Ru les
notified on 07-02-2002 till 17-05-2006 have been
filled up in terms of the provisions of the said
revised Recruitment Rules. After latest revision
of Recruitment Rules, notified on 18-05-2006,
the vacancies in LSG are required to be filled
by promotion as Circle cadre as intimate vide
letter dated 30-05-2006 on the basis of the
gradation lists being prepared by the Circles.
6. All the Circles are once again requested to
ensure that the notional promotions have been given
to the eligible officials to the LSG cadre so that
only those officials figure in the Gradation List of
PA / SA at Circle level who could not be given
notional promotions / promotions by following the
above-stated exercise for want of norm-based
vacancies.

Marx and 1857With the 150th anniversary of the 1857 uprising
being celebrated in the country, it might be worth
recalling what Karl Marx had to say on what he called
the 'First Indian War of Independence'. It is another
matter that historians in India, for good reasons, will
not agree with his contention that the uprising of 1857
fired the first salvo of rebellion against the British
rule in India; there had been such as the Vellore
uprising in 1806.
Marx and Engels since the early 1850s wrote
a number of incisive articles for the left-wing American
newspaper, New York Daily Tribune, on the 1857-59
national revolt in India. Founded by Horce Greeley, a
prominent American Journalist and politician, it was
themouthpiece of the left-wing of American whigs
until the mid-1850s. Besides Marx in his Notes on
Indian History wrote in 1853 on the situation in India
at that time.
Marx and Engels had evinced a keen interest
in developments taking place in India and Asian
countries, particularly China, and were sanguine that
some sort of revolution would occur in india. In fact,
since the early 1850s the two and Marx separately,
wrote a number of articles on the ferment taking place
in India, both during the Sepoy Mutiny and prior to it.
Marx perceived that the events in India and
China would snowball into dissolution of patriarchal
and feudal relations and the gradual transition of these
countries to capitalist development. This change was
expected to influence the prospects of the impending
European revolution. Although the English called it
a mutiny and an isolated uprising, Marx described
the churning of that time as an insurrection, which
was just part of a general anti-colonial liberation
struggle of oppressed nations unfolding in the 1850s
in nearly all of Asia.
He refuted the contention of the British ruling
classes, who tried to described the insurrection as
an armed sepoy mutiny and conceal the involvement
of broad sections of the Indian population. Marx and
Engels sought to link the outbreak to the European
relvolution which, in their opinion, was due to break
out as a sequel to the first world economic crisis
which swept Europe and the United States at that
time.
In his article, Revolt in the Indian Army, which
he wrote on June 30, 1857, and published in the
New York Daily Tribune as the leading article on July
15, 1857, Marx analysed the conquest and
subjugation of India and noted the variety of forms
and methods of British colonial rule and exploitation.
He described the East India Company as the tool of
Indian conquest and stressed that the British seized
Indian territories by taking advantage of the feudal
strife between local princes and fanning racial,
religious, tribal and caste antagonisms among the
people.
Marx demonstrated that the lolonial plunder
of India - one of the principal sources of enrichment
for the ruling oligarchy in Britain - caused the collapse
of entire branches of the Indian economy and
improverishment of the people of the vast, wealthy
and ancient country. The British, he noted, neglected
public works and thus brought about the collapse of
India's irrigated agriculture, which in turn doomed
millions of Indians to starvation by breaking up local
industries, notably hand-weaving and hand-spinning-
these could not compete with British cotton fabrics
flooding the Indian market.
The colonialists broke down the patriarchal
frameworks of communal landownership. However,
by introducing successively two land-tax and tenure
systems, zamindari and ryotwari, they preserved
many feudal elements in the Indian social system,
which slowed down the country's progressive
development and burdened the Indian peasantry.
Marx drew the conclusion that it was the
predatory policy of British intruders and colonial
exploitation which nurtured the Indian revolt. In creating
the native army, the British simultaneously organised
the first general centre of resistance which the Indian
people were never possessed of, Marx opined.

Social Structure of U.P.U. Countries - A Comparative Study-- by Pranab Bhattacharya
offices, Russian Federation has more than 40,000
post offices, USA serves it's people through 37,159
post offices.
So far as the number of mobile post offices
are concerned, USA has 62,762 mobile post offices
and Ukrain has 31,010 mobile post offices and even
a small country like Czech Republic with a little more
than 1 crore population.
India's Geographical location, ecological
systems and vast area including 5,93,643 villages
demand that India should have more and more
permanent and mobile post offices whereas India has
in true sense only 30,368 permanent post offices.
Comparison of Indian Postal Service with the
most prestigious G-8 countries.
Germany and Japan have no temporary and
part-time workers. Canada has only 14.5 percent part
time postal workers. Italy has only 2.4 per cent part
time postal workers, USA has only 12.4 per cent
temporary postal workers, such percentage in case
of U.K. is 17.75 and France has 17.9 per cent
temporary work force whereas India has 54.35 per
cent temporary work force serving the vast postal net
work of 1,55,516 post offices through out the country.
If we compare Indian Postal Service with
Germany in the light of population, then India should
have 49,37,764 permanent postal workers and
4,16,247 post offices Comparison with U.K. means
India should have 27,06,560 permanent, 5,83,992
temporary postal workers and 2,62,998 permanent
post offices. If USA is taken into account, India should
have 28,29,940 permanent, 400444 temporary postal
workers and 3,99,684 post offices. If France is in the
comparison, India should have 41,40,828 permanent
9,05,058 part time/temporary postal workers and
3,05,046 post offices. In the light of Japan, India post
should 9,13,264 permanent postal workers and
1,97,488 post offices. Considering Italy, India post
should have 26,99,726 permanent and 69,787 part
time postal workers and 2,64,461 post offices
,whereas India has only 2,46,678 permanent staff,
who run 30,368 Departmental Post offices and
2,93,656 part time staff, (GDS), serve 1,25,148 branch
Out of 192 countries under U.P.U., 112
countries of the world are having less than one crore
population - that is each of those countries are even
smaller than our State Jammu & Kashmir, 26
countries are even smaller than our 'Chhattisgarh'.
Each of the other set of 15 countries are even smaller
than State of Kerala (population - 3,18,41,374). Each
of another set of 15 countries are even smaller than
our Gujarat. 12 countries, each of them is having
population varying between 5 crore plus to less than
10 crore.
Only 4 countries of the Universal Postal Union
are having more than 20 crore of population - China
tops the list (131 crore). India follows China (110
crore). Next USA - 30 crore, difference between India
(2nd) and USA, (3rd) is whopping figure of more than
80 crore.
People of 122 UPU countries each of them
speak in 1,2 or maximum 3 language. Whereas
Chinese people speak in 8 major and other minority
languages and Indian people speak in 20 major
languages and 1600 dialects.
So far as the literacy is concerned, 93 U.P.U.
countries are having 90 to 100 per cent literacy. In
literacy rate India is trailing behind even the countries
like Uganda, Papua, New Guinea, Nicaragua, Ghana,
Nigeria, Madagascar etc.
Postal Structure - A comparative study of
U.P.U. Countries.
Out of 192 UPU countries there are 132 UPU
countries each of which are having less than even
1000 permanent post offices. 36 UPU countries are
having permanent post offices varying between 1000
to below 4000 post offices. Only 16 UPU countries
are having more than 10,000 permanent post offices.
So far as the number of permanent post offices
are concerned, China has nearly 67,000 permanent
post offices, France serves through nearly 17,000
post offices, Germany has more than 13,000 post
offices, U.K. has nearly 15,000 post offices (14609).
Italy has nearly 14,000 post offices, Indonesia serves
its people through 19,632 post offices, Poland has
almost 11,000 post offices, Japan has 24,678 post

post offices (Temporary Post Offices).
As regards postal network in Europe and CIS Region,
one post office serves 4310 inhabitants. In
industrialized countries one post offices serves 4990
inhabitants, whereas on an average, one Indian post
office serves a population of 6,615.
Thus, this comparative survey proves that even
in these days of globalization Indian Postal system
is very -very weak and has wide scope for extension.
Weight slabs in other developed and
developing countries
The following countries have complete
monopoly of letter mails. The mail sector of those
countries have complete monopoly.
(1) USA, (2) France, (3) China, (4) Brazil,
(5) HongKong, (6) Malaysia (7) Thailand, (8)
Bangladesh, (9) Pakistan, (10) Sri Lank.
U.S. Postal Service has monopoly on
letters up to 31.8 Kg.
Even very small countries like Australia,
Canada, Czech Republic, Netherlands, Switzer lands
etc. are having complete monopoly of letter mails up
to 2000 grams. Most of the advances countries are
having weight restriction in various forms whereas the
Indian Postal Service has been shattered by the illegal
presence of 2500 national and international private
courier services for the last two decades.
India'geographical characteristics.
India is world's seventh largest country
in the world. India has 28 states and 2 Union
Territories. India has, according to latest census
2,86,120 towns with urban population of 72.18
percent.
India's socio-economic structure
India has some 20 major languages often with
different scripts and over 1600 dialects (500 major
dialects) in which Indian people speak, is a proof of
its amazing diversity. Literacy rate is only 64.84 per
cent. 48% of population of India is living below the
poverty line. Almost half of our children- "The
immediate next generation of India" has been suffering
from under nourishment and in India the number of
such children is highest in the world. Number of abject
poverty stricken people in India is more than 50 crore.
When unemployment is the most serious problem
and number of unemployed youths is more than 20
crore, the average enrolment of students in 342
universities and 17000 colleges is 99.54 lakh means
almost 1 crore per year, Govt. of India inspite of ample
scope for creating more and more posts, abolished
63,616 posts during the last five years in the
Department of Posts only.
Under this painful socio-economic scenario of
postal services cannot be the solution. Privatization
of water supply has resulted in hike in price of water,
which many urban people have failed to afford. What
is the experience of privatization of power in Delhi
State? Who can forget the ENRON episode in
Maharastra? Privatization is not working for many of
our people and for the stability of our economy.
Save the centuries old prestigious
postal service.
The proposed Indian Post Office (Amendment)
Bill, 2006, if passed, will only legalise the decades
old 2500 inland and foreign services which are being
run by ex-top brass of the Department of Post and
thus shatter the centuries old postal services.
Unfortunately, some of those ex-top bureaucrats of
the Department of Posts are drawing fatty pension
from the exchequer of Department of Posts.
The most dangerous step to dismantle the
strong postal service was launched 21 years back
by late. C.M. Stephen, Ex. Communication Minister
in 1985 by abolishing hundreds of running RMS/
Sorting Section and stopping sorting of letters in
running trains and causing unusual delay in delivery
of mails.
NDA Govt. further abolished 63,616 live post
in the department and now the postal staff strength
has been reduced from 6,03,950 to 5,40,334. The
last mail in the coffin is now being erected by this
UPA Govt. through the amendment of the Indian Post
Office Act in spite of Standing Committee's
observation, "the Central Govt. should retain exclusive
privilege in republic Interest" and draft bill states that
the DOP will have the exclusive privllage of collecting
and delivering letters below 300 grams only.
Different industrialist, merchant houses and CII
are even pleading against this weight restriction on
the plea that this could result in loss of business as
well as loss of employment, but stark reality is that
courier companies are exploiting their workers with
very poor wages and even violating the Labour Laws.

CONFEDERATION OF CENTRAL GOVERNMENTEMPLOYEES AND WORKERS
Manishinath Bhawan, A.2/95 Rajouri Garden, New Delhi. 110 027
Phone: (011) 2510 5324 Fax No (011) 25105324, Mobile:98110 48303
No. D/11/06/2007 Dated 7.06.2006
Dear Comrade,
The National Executive of the Confederation
met at New Delhi on 05.06.2007 at Manishinath
Bhawan. The decision taken on various agenda
items slated for discussions are as under:-
Agenda item No. 1 & 2
Review of decisions taken at the last meeting of the
National Executive held on 06.02.2007.
(a) Observance of demands day on 14.03.2007 and
20.03.2007.
It was noticed that quite a number of affiliates
had not submitted the sectional charter of
demands. They are requested to submit the
same to the respective HOD and endorse copy
thereof to Confederation without any further delay.
(b) Solidarity action in supporting the struggle of GSI/
IBM employees
The programme had been carried out
successfully by all COCs.
(c) Action against PFRDA Bill
The Raj Bhawan march had been organized by most
of the COCs. At Delhi a massive dharna was held
under the joint banner of Confederation/AISGEF.
It was stated by the Secretary General that reporting
for CoCs and affiliates of the manner in which the
programmes are carried out, which had registered a
discernible improvement at the end of 2006, has
again been slipped back. There had been very few
written reports from the affiliates and the CoCs of
the programmes carried out in March, 2007. The
meeting decided to appeal the State CoCs and
affiliates to provide the CHQ with a report of the extent
of participation in the programmes of action.
Agenda item No. 3
Reporting of discussions the staff side had
with the 6th CPC;
Com. Secretary General stated that on 20th April,
2007 itself the Confederation had circulated a brief
resume of the discussion, the staff side had with
the CPC. That was a factual presentation of the
events as it took place from 16th to 18th April, 2007.
The Confederation had not made any comments on
those events, as it was thought that the fact as it is
should reach the members.
Thereafter, Com. S.K. Vyas, President
presented to the house, the impressions gained by
the representatives of the Confederation i.e. he
himself and the Secretary General who were
members of the staff side delegation. He said that in
spite of the positive response of the Commission to
the formulation on Minimum Wage allowances,
Pension etc, the same should not be taken on the
face value or should it be considered as an indication
of things to materialize. H added that it should only
be taken as a free expression and exchange of ideas
and must be construed as a cover up to circumvent
the others in untenable position taken by the
Commission on the question of Interim Relief. The
setting up the three study groups with an elaborate
terms of reference on vital questions affecting the
service conditions of the Central govt. employees is
indicative of the direction with which the CPC would
look at matters. The reluctance of the Govt. to set
up the CPC was reflective of its eagerness to
suppress the wages of the Central Govt. employees
and on that pretext of the PSU workers too. He also
stated that the representatives of the Confederation
prior to the discussion with the CPC and thereafter
too tried to have a JCA meeting of all constituents of
the JCM to review and take necessary decision to
bring up a common resistance movement., which
could not unfortunately fructify.
Com. Secretary General, said that having failed
to enlist the co-operation of all concerned for a
common movement to realize the demand of I.R,
the Confederation ought to have met earlier than 5th
June, 2007, but could not do so in view of the
impending struggle of Postal workers, which was to
commence from 24th April, 2007 onwards.
In so far as the allegation leveled by the AP CoC in
their written communication placed at the N.E
meeting. Com Vyas refuted it by stating that the
staff side had neither diluted the demand for I.R nor
had its submission been hollow. According to him
30BHARTIYA POST JULY, 2007
the case of the CGEs, as is articulated in the
memorandum had been admirably presented by the
staff side and had substantiated every of its contention
with facts, figures, precedence and comparison. He
said that the AP State committee's observation in
the matter was unfortunate and inexplicable in the
absence of any details as to what further should have
been presented. In the light of the decision taken at
the last meeting he opined that the NE should discuss
as to the course of action, the Confederation to pursue
in realization of the charter of demands.
Agenda item No.4 & 5
Com. Secretary General informed the house
that a meeting of the CoC Secretaries was convened
on 10.04.2007 at Nagpur and for the eastern zone at
Kolkata on 25.05.2007. Very few Secretaries
participated in the meeting. The formation of the State
CoCs in all states other than the following was stated
to be progressing well:
a) Western U.P
b) Punjub, Haryana & J & K
c) Bihar d) Orissa
The following N.E members were requested
to interact with the respective comrades in setting up
the State CoCs
Bihar - Com C.C Pillai
Western UP - Com. K.K.N. Kutty and
Com Deshraj Sharma
Punjub, Haryana & J & K - Com. S.K. Vyas and
Com. K. V. Shreedharan
Orissa - Com. M.S. Raja
(b) Meeting of the Central executives of Kolkata based
unions/association
A meeting of the Kolkata based affiliates was
convened on 25.05.2007. Out of 18 affiliates 16
participated. Various issues were discussed. It was
decided that Com. Gautam Pramanik, Organising
Secretary of the confederation would make periodical
interaction with these organisations. It was decided
that Com. Gautam Pramanik will arrange similar
meetings prior to and after every N.E. meeting to have
proper interaction.
Agenda item No. 7
a) Amendment to the Charter of Demand :
The meeting decided to add the following two
issues and make it a 10 point charter of demands.
Points No. 9 : Implement all arbitration awards
immediately.
Point No. 10 : Remove the quantum ceiling of Rs.2500/
- and pay
bonus on the basis of actual pay drawn.
b) Future course of action
The house decided that the 10 point of
demands should be pursued through struggles and
the first phase of action should culminate in a days
strike in the first week of August, 2007. The Secretary
General will write to all organizations to explore the
possibilities of organizing a joint action of one day
strike in the first week of August, 2007. The date will
be fixed after such consultation and mutual agreement.
The resolution adopted by the house in this regard is
enclosed. The CHQ will intimate the date of strike
after such consultations. All affiliates must send a
list of sectional demands which they would like to
include in the charter of demands, while submitting
the Strike Notice.
The house also decided to observe 28th June,
2007 a "STRUGGLE COMMENCEMENT DAY" by
organizing lunch recess demonstration/dharna etc.
to explain the demands to the mass of the employees.
At Delhi efforts will be taken by the state CoC in
association with Central Secretariat Non-Gazetted
employees Association so as to hold a day long
dharna before the North Block where the Ministry of
Finance is located.
Agenda item No.6
Com. C.C. Pillai explained the various aspects
of the negotiations, the Postal Federations had
between them and the Postal Department in
settlement of the charter of demands and the decision
to suspend the indefinite Strike programme .
Agenda item No 8:
Any other matter with the permission of chair:
1. The house discussed at length the various
problems faced by the affiliates in getting recognition
from the Govt. under CCS(RSA) Rules. It was decided
that the CHQ on going through the letters received by
it will prepare a comprehensive Note for submission
to the DOPT. The affiliates may send in their
communications, if not already done, in this regard
by 15.06.2007.
2. Com. M.S. Raja will collect the requisite
information of autonomous organizations as was
decided in the last meeting.
3. The CoCs expedite formation of daily rated/
Casual Workers as per last N.E. decisions.
With greetings,
Yours fraternally,
(K.K.N. Kutty)
Secretary General
31BHARTIYA POST JULY, 2007
This meting of the national Executive of the
Confederation held on 05.06.2007 in New Delhi take a
serious note of the fact that no action has been taken
by the Govt. despite notice given by the Confederation
to the Cabinet Secretary on 20.04.2007 to settle the
following demands :-
1. Grant of Interim Relief of Rs.1000/-
The Central Government employees were
entitled to have the wage revision as on 01-01-2006.
As per the 5th CPC recommendations, the
Government ought to have set up the 6th CPC in April,
2003 itself. The notification setting up the Commission
was issued in October, 2006 and even according to
the terms of references; the Commission is expected
to take 18 months to formulate its views. Therefore,
the report of the Commission is not expected before
31-03-2008. If one is to go with the past experience,
the submission of the report is bound to be delayed
further.
The Government had granted Interim Relief prior
to the setting up of the 4th and 5th CPC. Because
there had been an unavoidable delay in the submission
of the report, both the 4th and 5th CPC granted second
and third interim relief.
The demand of the employees to grant Interim
Relief was not conceded by the Government while
setting up the 6th CPC and no reason whatsoever
was advanced for such denial.
During the discussions, with the Finance
Secretary before the notification was issued, the staff
side was categorically assured that the Pay
Commission would be specifically asked to submit a
report within a specified time frame on Interim Relief.
However, the notification has only asked the
Commission to look into the feasibility and desirability
of an Interim Relief. The 6th CPC has categorically
conveyed that they had no intention of suggesting any
I.R to the Central Govt. employees on the specious
plea that such infusion of money would further stoke
the inflation. In the circumstance, the Govt. should
come forward to grant Interim Relief @ 15 % of the
emoluments, subject to a minimum of Rs.1000/-
2. Date of effect of the 6th CPC to be
01-01-2006
The 5th CPC made a specific recommendation
to the effect that the periodicity of wage revision in the
case of Civil servants should be decennial. This
suggestion was made as an alternative; to the setting
up of a permanent wage review Committee. In the case
of Public Sector Undertakings, the wage agreement
indicates the date of next wage revision. Therefore, as
and when the wage revision takes place, the same is
made effective retrospectively. In the case of civil
servants, the date of effect of the revised wages is
arbitrarily decided by the Commission. We expected
the Government to mandate the Commission with the
stipulation that the date of effect must be 01-01-2006.
By asking them to suggest the effective date of their
recommendations, the Government has sought to
unsettle a settled issue. The Government should
announce that the date of effect of wage revision would
be 01-01-2006.
3. Judicial committee to effect Wage revision
in the case of Grameen Dak Sewaks:
The Grameen Dak Sewaks are part time
employees engaged by the Postal Department. Most
of them are engaged for full time work and are exploited.
They do not get full salary and allowances and are
also denied pension on par with the regular employees
in the Postal Department.. The Supreme Court has
declared them to be holders of Civil post for the purpose
of Article 311 of the Constitution. In December, 1993
the Postal Department through a written agreement
categorically assured the employees that the
Committee to go into the issue of wage revision of
GDS would not be headed by a serving or retired Postal
Officer. Accordingly, they set up a judicial Committee
under the Chairmanship of Justice Charanjit Singh
Talwar. Our plea before the Government was to include
the Grameen Dak Sevaks within the ambit of the 6th
CPC. This was however, not agreed to. An
understanding was reached that the Government
would set up a judicial committee to consider the issue
pertaining to Grameen Dak Sevaks immediately after
the setting up of the 6th CPC. It is now more than
months and the Government has not honored its
commitment. The Postal Department going back on
their assurance made in 1993 has decided to constitute
Resolution adopted at the National Executive Committee Meeting of theConfederation of Central Govt. Employees and Workers on 05.06.2007
32BHARTIYA POST JULY, 2007
a committee under the chairmanship of a retired Postal
Officer.
In the recent negotiations, the Postal
Federations had in the wake of an indefinite strike
action, the Postal department has agreed to take orders
from the Govt. to refer the wage revision of Gramin
Dak Sewaks to the 6th CPC in effect conceding the
demand raised by the ab-initio. However, no order has
been issued so far. The Govt. must take immediate
steps to honour the agreement.
4. Ending discrimination in the matter of
compassionate appointments.
At the discussions, the Staff side
representatives had with the Govt. in January 2003 to
explore the possibilities of bringing about a negotiated
settlement on the 20 point charter of demand, the
Cabinet Secretary indicated that the discrimination in
the matter of compassionate appointment between the
Railway workers and the other civilian employees of
the Government of India, being unjust would be
removed. Thereafter, on quite a number of occasions,
the issue had been discussed with the Secretary
(Personnel) and at the instance of the Cabinet
Secretary with the then Finance Secretary, prior to
the National Council meeting held in October, 2006.
The Department of Personnel has not so far taken
any steps to mitigate the problem and end the unjust
discrimination. There are thousands of poor applicants
waiting for appointment who are in a highly distressed
circumstance. The 5% ceiling instituted by the
Department of personnel since 1998 has no legal basis
and inoperable administratively. The Department of
Personnel should withdraw the instructions issued by
them instituting a 5% cap on compassionate
appointments and advise the administrative
departments to appoint the deserving candidates
immediately.
5. (a) Scrap the order of abolition of post, stop
downsizing, privatization and contractization.
In may 2001, the Government issued
instructions withdrawing the authority from the
concerned Heads of Department to fill up the vacant
posts through recruitment and assigning the same to
a Screening Committee. As per the stipulation the
said screening committee is entitled to authorize filling
up only 1/3rd of the direct recruit vacancies ( subject
to a maximum of 1 % of the sanctioned posts), the
rest 2/3rdbeing abolished permanently. The intention
of the order was to reduce the existing manpower
drastically. No post was allowed to be created even
for justified functional requirement. Not only it killed
the job opportunities for thousands of unemployed
youth in the country, but also in the process crippled
the functioning of the Departments raising the burden
of workload on employees. Even though the said
instruction was prima facie applicable to all cadres,
categories and groups of civil servants, the Group A
Cadres has invariably been excluded by almost all
the Departmental Heads. In other words, the abolition
of posts had only been in Group C and Group D Cadre
only.
Having given a choice, the Heads of
Departments have invariably abolished almost all Gr.
D. Posts. Since the Posts are abolished, neither the
employees who are in temporary status could be
regularized, nor the application of the family members
of those Gr. D. Employees who died in harness could
be considered for appointment.
It had been repeatedly asserted by the official
side on many occasions that the above cited order is
meant to be effective only for a limited period of 5 years
and the recruitments to fill up the vacancies might
commence from the Recruitment years 2006-07
onwards. It is, therefore, surprising to note that the
Government has decided to extend the operation of
the instruction for another 3 years on the specious
plea that the 6th CPC has been set up. It is
incomprehensive as to why the stipulation for 3 years
had been made while the 6th CPC has been mandated
to submit its report within 18 months.
The Department of Personnel must withdraw
the instructions extending its operation for another 3
years and allow all Departments to fill up the existing
vacancies.
(b) Stop Downsizing, Privatization and Contractorisation
The Government have been implementing the
recommendations of the expenditure Reforms
Commission for quite some time now without
explaining the justification for these recommendations
and without any negotiations with the Employees
organizations. The result is that in some Departments
like Geological Survey of India drastic curtailment of
staff strength is taking place,; in postal Departments
recourse has been made to outsource the postal
33BHARTIYA POST JULY, 2007
functions by franchising the post offices; major
functions in Income tax Department like allotment of
PAN/TAN, challan processing , processing of returns
and all care taker functions are outsourced or
contemplated to be outsourced; almost entire
Department of Development Commissioner of Iron
and Steel had been shut down and employees
declared surplus and re-deployed elsewhere; Text
book printing presses were shut down, in Audit
Department where there are 15000 vacancies
against the total strength of about 50000, a new
method of selective audit is being resorted to in the
name of Audit Planning. The very audit norms has
been diluted. Some of the Audit functions are being
entrusted to Private parties.. In the name of non
core functions entire Gr.D staff is being replaced by
men supplied through Contractors. In all these
exercises it is only the Group C & D staff who are
thrown out. On the other hand there is an increase
in the Group A posts. In some offices in order to
create more Gr. A posts, Group C posts are being
curtailed by way of maching contribution. Almost in
all the Departments and Ministries such exercise
have been implemented or contemplated to be
implemented. The implementation of these
downsizing devices privatization, outsourcing,
contractorization etc. must be stopped.
6. Withdrawal of the new Pension Scheme.
The Pension system for the Government
Employees was evolved as a social security Scheme
decades back. Under this system the employer was
expected to set apart a certain percentage of
employees" wages under a fund. The Government
scrapped this system in respect of employees who
entered service on or after 1-1-2004. There is no law
or rules under which such a step could be taken by
them and as such this was an illegal measure. Under
the new system the Government Employee is required
to contribute 10 % of his pay plus DA and the
Government also contributes the matching amount.
The fund created during the entire tenure of the Service
will be invested in the market through private promoters.
It is a defined contributory pension scheme, for those
who entered service after 1-1-2004 while entire
personnel recruited prior to the cut off date would
continue to be governed by a defined benefit scheme
of Pension under the CCS ( Pension ) Rules. This is a
gross discrimination and illegal measure too.
The Committee set up by the Government to
recommend Pension Reforms had in fact suggested
a hybrid system, where both the defined benefit and
contributory system would co-exist. Since, under the
new scheme, pension is depended on the vagaries
of market, it is not at all acceptable. In any case
there is no justification for recovering a contribution
from the employees who entered service on or after
1-1-2004 as their wage structure is what was
recommended by the 5th Pay Commission on the
premise that the pension was the liability of the
Government. The Govt. is aware that the
Contemplated change in the pension scheme
requires Parliamentary Sanction. That was why
PFRDA Bill was introduced in the Parliament. Thanks
to the principled position taken by the left parties,
the Bill has not yet been passed, whereas the Govt.
has gone ahead with its implementation through
executive fiats: 5% of the accumulated contribution
has already been diverted for stock exchange
operation. Fund managers have been appointed. The
sovereign authority of the Parliament has been
allowed to be eroded. The Govt. must stop these
mechinations and scrap the New Contributory
Pension Scheme and refund the funds collected from
the employees recruited after 01.01.2004
7. Regularize the casual/contingent/daily
rated workers
On the basis of the discussion, the staff side
had in the National Council, the Government introduced
a scheme for regularization of casual/contingent/daily
rated employees as a one time measure, by virtue of
which all those who were in the Rolls as on
September,1993 were absorbed and regularized. The
Department of Personnel issued instructions to all
Departments banning recruitment on casual/contingent
basis. However this instruction was constantly flouted,
mostly due to the ever-increasing workload and
insufficiency of men-in-position. The ban on
recruitment, the instructions to implement austerity
measures and the abolition of posts carried out in the
last 5 years all accentuated the problem. Presently in
the most of the Departments, the number of casual/
contingent/daily rated workers has phenomenally
increased and these employees are not paid the
requisite wages. This is nothing but exploitation taking
34BHARTIYA POST JULY, 2007
advantage of the acute unemployment situation in the
country. The stipulation that if one has been in
continuous employment for more than 206 days in a
year is entitled for regularization has to be adhered to
and abided. The Govt. should immediately issue
instruction for regularization of the daily rated/casual/
contingent paid workers.
8. No replacement of CGHS by Medicare
Insurance
The Government had been contemplating to
replace the existing CGHS with Medicare insurance
plan. With all the deficiencies, CGHS is considered
by both the serving employees and pensioners as the
best Medicare system in the country. In the case of
Pensioners especially, it is a great relief when they
are afflicted with serious illness due to old age. The
Insurance scheme can never be a substitute to the
present Medicare system, even if the premium for such
insurance scheme is borne by the employer. The
Government cannot withdraw itself from its primary
responsibility of providing Medicare to its present and
past employees on the plea of financial stringency.
This apart it is also necessary to consider the security
of livelihood of the persons employed by the CGHS
whose number is sizable. The Government should
abandon the idea of replacing CGHS with Medicare
Insurance and evolve instead methodologies to
strengthen and expand the CGHS.
9. Implementation of the Awards of the Board
of Arbitration
Under the JCM scheme, any issue, which is
not settled through discussions at the National/
Departmental council, is referred to the Board of
Arbitration, specifically set up for the purpose. The
decision of the Arbitrator is bound to be accepted by
both the side i.e. staff side and the Govt. The Govt. is
entitled to approach the Parliament for rejection /
modification on the following two grounds only i.e.
a) the implementation of the award will adversely
affect the national economy
b) it affects the social justice.
The prescribed time limit for getting the Parliamentary
sanction for rejection of an award is six months. While
the request to Parliamentary sanction had been few
and few between in the 1960s, 70s and even in the
earlier part of 80s, the Govt. began to approach the
Parliament as a matter of routine to reject invariably
all awards given in favour of the employees. Neither
the time limit of six months was adhered to nor was it
explained as to how the implementation of these
awards would have affected the National economy or
the Social justice.
Being one of the charter of demands, the
settlement for which the JCA of organizations
participating in the JCM threatened to go on strike
from 01.03.2006, it was decided that the Govt. would
look into the matter afresh and settled the same through
mutual discussions. Accordingly 16 such awards were
identified for further discussion and settlement. The
process of consultation was scheduled to be
completed by end of June, 2006. On none of the
issues, settlement has been brought about so far,
despite the lapse of more than a year. The Govt. is
morally and legally bound to implement these awards.
10. To remove the quantum ceil ing on
Bonus:
Presently a quantum ceiling of Rs.2,500/-
operate on Bonus payment. Whatever is the pay
of an employees he/she is entit led to Bonus
computed on the notional salary limit of Rs.2,500/
-. The said limit was stipulated nearly two decades
back. The abysmally low ceiling limit was not
removed or raised despite demand to that effect
raised on several occasions. This gross injustices
is perpetuated to deny the workers their legitimated
duea. The Govt. should bring in an amendment to
Bonus Act to remove the quantum ceiling and order
payment of Bonus on the basis of one's actual
salary/emoluments.
The meeting taking into account the total
nugatory attitude of the Govt. decided that
the Central Govt. employees have to manifest
their extreme discontent over the indifferent
attitude of the Govt. to settle these demands
by organizing a day long strike sometime in
August, 2007 and also to give serious warning
thereby to the Govt. that incase these demands
are not satisfactori ly sett led within a
reasonable time, they will be compelled to go
on indefinite strike.

When Maharishi Vyas completed the EighteenMahapuranas comprising of one lac chants, the
common man could not follow exactly what he hadintended to tell. Thus, Vyas explained the gist just in
two lines for understanding of the common man :"ASTADASA PURANESU VYASASYA BACHAN
DOYAM, PAROPAKARAYA SORGAYA, NARKAYAPAROPIDANAM". Thus, if we clearly understand the
meaning and importance of these two thing -PAROPAKARAYA SORGAYA and NARKAYA
PARAPIDANAM, we need not have to go through theEighteen Mahapuranas. Similarly, we need not have
to digest the entire SRIMAD BHAGWAT GITA, butjust to understand the first and last word of it. What is
the first word? - "DHARMAKHETRE KURUKHETRESAMABETAH YUJUSTUVAH, MAAMAKAAH
PANDAVAASCHAIBA KIMKURBATA SANJAY". Sothe first word is Dharma. What is the last word then ?
-"JATRA JOGESWARAH KRISHNO JATRA PARTHODHANURDHARAH, TATRA SRIFVIJAYO
VUTIRDHRUBA NITIRMATIRMAMA". So the last wordof Gita is Mama. Thus, "Dhrmam Mama" means we
have just to realize our Dharma and the entire Gita isfinished. What is our Dharma ? It has a very broader
concept. It is not reading Gita, Bible, Quran, etc. butdischarging one's duties and responsibilities according
to his capability with sincerity and honestly which hasbeen categorically emphasized in the "KARMAYOG"
of the holly Srimad Bhagwat Gita and many other hollybooks of different religions. The duties and
responsibilities as a true human being - as a unionmember, as an employee, as a father/mother, as a son/
daughter and above all as a responsible citizen.
Being in a service union, our Dharma is nothing
but to serve and to unite. So to have a clearunderstanding of the entire union, the very concepts
of Service and Union are to be understood. We haveto serve united and we have to be united to serve.
Service is the motto of the union. Only two words andtwo aspects. The theory is very simple. But it is highly
regretted that we are being divided and divided anddivided. While reviewing the glorious journey of the
NFPE, it is regretted that the Divide and Rule policy ofthe British Govt. still prevails even after 59 years of
Indian independence. They very ideology of Com DadaGhosh, "One union, One Industry" is gradually losing
its importance. After bifurcation of NFPTE to NFPEand NFTE, the chapter was not closed even with
creation of other two sister federations in the name ofNational and Bharatiya. Apart from these wings,
different associations according to cadres viz. Officers,ASPOs & Inspectors, Stenographers, Postal
Accounts Employees, Postal Administrative
Employees, SBCO Employees have been recognisedby the Govt. And now, the proposed "INDIAN POSTAL
SUPERVISORY OFFICERS & DDOs ASSOCIATION(LSG, HSG-II & HSG-I)" is certainly going to jeopardize
the unity of the postal employees in general and thatof the Group-C in particular since the economic,
political and moral role differ greatly from union to unionon the concept of responsible unionism and thus
weaken the capability of effective collective bargaining.The oldest, strongest and largest Federation i.e.
NFPTE alias NFPE is now being pored with mushroomgrowth of unions and associations perpetuating inter
and intra union rivalry affecting its strength, securityand its leadership on one side and reducing the average
strength of membership eroding the financial viabilityon the other. We can not disobey the fact that even
the smallest hole keeps every capability to demolishthe strongest dam.
So when we have to serve united and we haveto be united to serve, it is required to think in positive
affirmation with cultivation of personal life whichdepends on rectification of the mind. Being affected
by wrath, fear, fondness or worries and anxieties toany extent and beholden to personal desires with
complete attachment to individual interest, we fail toserve whole heartedly. The fever of power and portfolio
creates intentional fifts in the union. We have to learna lot how unity and unionism could destroy Italian
fascism, German Nazism, Japanese Militarism andEuropean Imperialism. We have to analyse as to why
and how there become an alliance betweendemocracies of Europe and communist Russia to fight
against Nazi-fascist powers in the interest of thegeneral human being. The reunion of West and East
Germany in 1990 with demolition of Berlin Wall after45 years of their historical division arising as an
immediate consequence of World War-II, clearlyjustifies the acts of unity and unionism. Thus, when
such great things could be possible, why can't weconsider it positive, if we can further be reunited from
ED (GDS) to AD in a common platform to satisfy thevery motto - One union, One Industry. Because, it is
quite evident that although our goal is one, we havehardly fought united irrespective of cadre and wing.
Not only the last General Strike on 14th December,2006, but many previous strikes and agitational
programmes have also witnessed the absence of othersister federations and associations and there by
standing in the way of total success.
And perhaps, this is the need of the time and
the situation when the working class in general is being

seriously ill treated by the bureaucracy in the
Department supported with the anti workers policy ofthe Government through liberalization, privatization and
globalization. The task may not be so easy in thebeginning, but there is no harm in accepting failure,
because failure is as much as a part of life and it givesthe opportunity to being again more intelligently. It does
not matter, how many times we get knocked down,but how many times we get up. Our greatest glory is
not in never falling but in rising each and every timewe fall. Is someone Listening?
