A FINANCIALLY WEAKER ORGANISATION CANNOT BE ORGANISATIONALLY STRONG

To
All Circle Office Bearers/
All Divisional/Branch Secretaries,
As you are aware that the orders for payment of 2nd installment of 6th CPC Arrears have been issued by the Finance Ministry, and the same was circulated by the Postal Directorate on 25/08/2009.In this connection we have to remember the decision taken by the Federal Executive held from 16-17 July 2009 for collection of special donations. A strong finance means a strong federation. A financially weaker organisation cannot be organisationally strong. Hence according to the decision of Federation and to strengthen our Union Financially I appeal all Divisional/Branch Secretaries to send Rs.100/- to circle union according to the actual available membership.Who have not remitted to circle union at the time of payment of 40% arrears may please send immediately and who send may reconcile at once with actual membership and difference amount may please send immediately.

Historic Judgement of Hon'ble High Court of Punjab and Haryana in r/o Payment of Gratuity to GDS officials

Dear Comrades,
Land mark Judgement Given by Hon'ble High Court of Punjab and Chandigarh in respect of Payment of Gratuity under section 7(4) of the payment of Gratuity Act 1972 and Rule 11(4) in CWP No.5290/2009 between The Sr.Supdt. of Post Offices, Hoshiarpur Division,Hoshiarpur V/S Sri Avtar Singh and others.For full text of the order copy please click the below link and down load.
http://lobis.nic.in/phhc/showfile.php?sn=6

The same Judgement was given by the same Judge in CWP No.5291 of 2009 between Sr.Supdt.Of Post Offices,Jalandhar Division,Jalandhar and Sri Santokh singh and others.For copy of order Please click the below link and down load.
http://lobis.nic.in/phhc/showfile.php?sn=2

In these two land mark Judgements it is clearly directed the department that the GDS officials Sri Avtarsingh and Sri Santokh sing were eligible for payement of Gratuity though they submitted resignation after completion of 20 and odd years as GDS officials and their claim was delayed by two years with reasons beyond thier control.First the officials approached to The Asst.Labour Commissioner(Central) to direct the controlling authority to pay the Gratuity amount. Sri R.K.AGRAWAL,Controlling Authority under PG Act, 1972 &Assistant Labour Commissioner (Central)Chandigarh in his order Date 1.2.08 directed the controlling authority to pay the Gratuity amount to the officials along with 10% simple interest.While final order given by Sri R.K. Agrawal made the following genuine comments towards the GDS employees"The court have observed that the gratuity is social welfare legislation Workers cannot be deprived of the same merely on account of late filing of application. Discretion exercised accordingly is just and proper. No. Interference required-Textmo Limited Vs. Ramdhan 1992 (65) FLR 742 (Del)" .The Supreme Court has simply held that EDA employees are Civil servant and entitled for protection under article under 311(2) of the Constitution of India.Under the circumstances, it is amply clear that the applicant was holding a post not Governed under CCS (Pension) Rules. The services condition of the workman was governed under the provision of E.D. Agents. The EDA (Extra Departmental Agents) no known as Gramin Dak Sevaks but the provisions of EDA (Conduct and Services) Rules are less favorable than the provisions of PG Act,1072. Under the circumstances, I am of the opinion that the applicant will fall within the ambit of Section 2(e) of PG Act, 1972.

SOLIDARITY TO BSNL EMPLOYEES TWO DAY STRIKE

To
All Circle office Bearers,
All Branch/Divisional Secretaries
Dear Comrades! –
The United Forum of BSNL EMPLOYEES consisting of 7 unions including the BSNL Employees Union, the major and recognised union of BSNL has served a strike notice for organising 48 Hours strike on 19th and 20th August 2009.
The Strike Notice has been served to protest against the adamant,, discriminative and lethargic attitude of the management in handling the wage negotiations. The United Forum of BSNL Employees has charged the BSNL Management that the wage negotiations have been put in cold storage by not appointing the replacement to the post of Chairman Wage Negotiating Committee for long time after the retirement of the earlier Chairman despite repeated requests from the unions.
The Agitating Unions have charged the attitude of the Management which had earlier allotted 70% wage rise for the officers themselves while treating the wage negotiations for the employees with discriminatory approach.
Our Circle union call upon our rank and file to extend our support and solidarity to the call given by the United Forum of BSNL Employees consisting of BSNL Employees Union; Telecom Employees Progressive Union; Bsnl Mazdoor Sangh (BPEF); All India Backward Classes Telecom Employees Sangathan; SC//ST Employees Welfare Association of BSNL; Bahujan Trade Union of BSNL; Sanchar Nigam Association of Telecom Technical Assistants by organising lunch hour demonstrations all over India in front of our work spots. This union appeals to all Branch/Divisional Secretaries to invite leaders belonging to the unions in the United Forum of BSNL Employees to our above solidarity demonstrations and send Savingrams in support of the strike to the Honourable Minister of Communications & IT as follows:

TEXT OF SAVINGRAM TO BE SENT TO HON'BLE MOC&IT

News from Confederation

Dear Comrades,
The news received from Confederation is reproduced here under for the information of the members.
Anomaly and Standing Committee meetings.
There had been no formal or informal meeting with the Government either to discuss the anomalies or issues emanating from the implementation of the 6th CPC so far.
We had placed the items the staff side had sent for the consideration of the National anomaly committee (first installment) on our website. The second and final set of items is likely to be submitted in a day or two. As and when the same is finalized we shall place copy thereof on our website. We have received innumerable number of letters from our affiliates requesting us to take up the department specific anomaly items in the National Council. It is difficult to individually respond to these letters. Department specific items are to be pursued at the Departmental Anomaly Committees. Complaints have been received by us that many Ministries have so far not set up anomaly committees. We shall take up this issue with the Department of Personnel.
All India Convention of workers:
14th September, 2009
.
The Sponsoring Committee of Central Trade Unions along with INTUC and BMS has decided to convene a National Convention on14th September 2009.

The extract from the communication we have received in this regard is given hereunder.
The meeting of the Central Trade Unions held on 19th July 2009 at the INTUC H.qrs. at New Delhi expressed serious concern over;
*Rising prices of essential commodities including food grains and vegetable creating severe hardship for the mass of the people
*Continuing job losses resulting in loss of livelihood to millions of workers across the sectors owing to recession and economic slowdown
*Non implementation of and rampant violation of basic labour laws pertaining to minimum wages, working hours, social security safety in workplace and trade union rights etc. throughout the country adding to the sufferings of the entire toiling people
*Extreme inadequacy of the provisions and schemes under the un-organized workers sector workers including the contract workers owing to the restrictive provisions under the schemes and absence of any national fund for the un-organized sector (NAFUS) as recommended by the NCEUS and Parliamentary Standing committee on labour
*move of the Government for disinvestment of shares in profit making central public sector enterprises
The Central Trade Unions call upon the workers and employees and their unions irrespective of affiliation to unitedly highlight the concern over the above-mentioned burning issues facing them and at the same time urge upon the Government to take urgent remedial corrective measures to address the aforesaid concerns of working people effectively.
The Central Trade Union decides to submit a memorandum to the Prime Minister on the aforesaid issues and hold a National convention of Trade Unions at Delhi in September, 2009 to chalk out common future programme.
