Dated
at Bhubaneswar the 5th March, 2017
To
The
Chief Postmaster General
Odisha
Circle, Bhubaneswar – 751 001
Sub:- Memorandum
on long pending unsettled issues of Odisha Circle with request for an early
negotiated settlement to maintain peace and tranquility.
Respected Sir,
It is our constraint
to intimate that in spite of writing a series of letters, discussions at various
levels from Circle / R O to RJCM, some basic and genuine demands of the
employees of Odisha Circle are not being attended to for years together.
Rather, the Unions are being grossly disregarded due to non-acknowledgement of
even a single letter written to the Chief PMG, Odisha Circle in violation of Directorate’s guidelines issued
severally viz. No.3-6/82-SR, dated 10/13.09.1981, No. 10-3/87-SR, dated
08.03.1988 etc., which specify that the union letters should be promptly
acknowledged and the matter in question decided as expeditiously as possible.
If the decision in the matter is likely to get delayed for some time, an
interim reply should invariably be sent to the union. In case the officer or
the dealing hand concerned with the matter is on leave some alternative
arrangements should be made to attend to the letters received from the union
urgently.
But to our utter dissatisfaction, we are in doubt if
anything happens as such.
Most regretfully, it is intimated that though NFPE
Unions, Odisha Circle accompanied with AIPEU, GDS, Odisha Circle conducted a
day long dharana programme in front of the office of the Chief Postmaster General,
Odisha Circle on 15.06.2016, neither the staff representatives were invited for
a meaningful negotiation nor the action taken report on the demands were
intimated which compelled all the Circle Secretaries of NFPE Unions, Odisha
Circle to review the position with a decision to bring all the pending issues once again to
the kind notice of the Chief PMG, Odisha Circle for immediate fruitful
consideration before adopting further trade union activities.
All the pending issues which were taken earlier and some
current issues which are already brought to the notice of the competent
authorities without any result are annexed
here with under the head “Charter of Demand”.
We do expect that our Circle Head will come
forward with an open mind for a negotiated settlement of all the pending issues
as early as possible and send the action taken report to all the Circle
Secretaries signed below failing which we will have no other option left but to
adopt Trade Union action by organizing
one day Dharana Programme on 19.04.2017 in front of the O/o the Chief
PMG, Odisha Circle, Bhubaneswar and to decide further course of action then and
there.
With regards.
