EDITORIAL - BHARTIYA POST - APRIL 2014
LESSONS FROM OUR EXPERIENCES.
Postal Trade Union movement has always been in the forefront of the struggle against the anti-labour and anti-people policies of the ruling class. During the Britishraj it fought many a battle against imperialism and for the freedom of our great nation. Many Postal leaders and workers sacrificed their entire life for the nation and for the workers. Right from freedom struggle, the Postal trade union movement has been a part and parcel of the progressive forces of our country and always solidly stood with the mainstream of the working class upholding the traditions of progressive, democratic, socialist and secular forces and also for the principles enshrined in the Constitution of India. We are proud that NFPE still keep up this tradition.
After Independence we have been fighting for the cause of the working class in general and Postal employees in particular. In that saga of struggle many of our comrades lost their lives, many dismissed from service and severely punished for participating in strikes against the policies of the Government. We learn lessons from our past experiences and move forward uniting the entire postal employees including Departmental employees, Gramin Dak Sevaks and Casual, Part-time, Contingent and Contract workers. We always fought for changing the policies of the Government and are still in the battle field.
All of us are aware that unless and until we succeed in our attempt to change or defeat the neo-liberal globalisation policies of the ruling class, the future of the Central Government Employees including five lakhs postal employees will be in danger and ultimately the private sector may take over major portion of the service sector and Government functions, just as it happened in Telecom sector.
It is a fact that we have defeated the attempt of the Government to close down 9797 Post offices and about 300 RMS offices by putting up stiff resistance under the banner of Joint Council of Action. We succeeded in compelling the Government to lift the ban on recruitment and to fill up all the direct recruitment vacancies and promotional quota vacancies. But we should not forget that the policy of downsizing, outsourcing, contractorisation and privatisation is still hanging as a democles sword over our head. The draft bill for amendment to the Indian Post Office Act to grant licence to the multi-national private couriers is still kept pending and not dropped. Our demand for inclusion of Gramin Dak Sevaks under the purview of Seventh Central Pay Commission is not accepted, though the recognised GDS Union leader has signed an agreement with the Department of Posts accepting separate committee for GDS thereby admitting that GDS are not Government employees (Civil Servants). Our demand for DA merger, Interim Relief etc. are also pending. Revision of wages of casual labour is long overdone. The New Pension Scheme introduced by NDA Government and legalised by UPA Government has snatched away the right for statutory pension to those employed on or after 01-01-2004.
When it comes to the question of implementation of imperial neo-liberal globalisation policies, those supporting the capitalist class join together to protect their class interest. Our past experience has taught us that change of Government alone cannot change the plight of the working class and common people and it is the change of policies that matter. We believe that only those forces which oppose the anti-labour, anti-people neo-liberal imperialist gloablisation policies can safeguard the interest of the working class and the common people of our country. Let us strengthen those progressive, democratic and secular forces and strive hard for a better tomorrow along with the manstream of the working class.

The draft memorandum prepared in the workshop will be placed in the website and also before the Central Working Committee of AIPEU Group-C (CHQ) to be held in August 2014 in Andhra Pradesh Circle, for final approval.
All Circle/Divisional Secretaries of AIPEU Group-C are requested to attend the convention and Workshop WITHOUT FAIL. If any Circle/Divisional/Branch Secretary cannot attend due to unavoidable circumstances, one representative should be deputed on behalf of Divisional / Branch/ Circle Union. Limited number of special visitors will also be allowed to attend. Please book your tickets well in advance. Please convene your Divisional/Branch/Circle Working Committees/Circle Councils before coming to Delhi and discuss and finalise all P-3 specific points to be included in the 7th CPC Memorandum in a most democratic and transparent manner. Suggestions should be the outcome of collective discussion and collective wisdom. Active involvement of rank and file members may also be ensured in the process.
DELEGATE FEE:
As CHQ is holding the Special Convention and Workshop at New Delhi itself it is decided to fix delegate fee of Rs.700/- (Rs. Seven hundred only) per head. Food (only lunch and Tea) and accommodation (hall with floor beddings and bath room facilities) will be provided by CHQ. Delegate fee is reduced from Rs.1,000/- to Rs.700/- as the Breakfast and Dinner is not arranged by CHQ. Convention will be from 11 AM to 7 PM on both days. The rent of the AC Auditorium for two days itself comes to Rs. One Lakh Twenty Thousand (Rs.1,20,000). AC is required as May is the hottest season in Delhi. Draft memorandum prepared by CHQ will be supplied in the convention/workshop along with file.
Total Expenditure may come to Rs. 4,50,000/- (Rs. Four Lakh Fifty Thousand only) NO DELEGATE WILL BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CONVENTION/WORKSHOP WITHOUT PAYING DELEGATE FEE. THIS WILL BE STRICTLY IMPLEMENTED.

As the CWC is to be held in the month of August 2014 in Andhra Pradesh Circle and again in November 2014 at Jamnagar (Gujarat) in connection with the final ceremony of NFPE Diamond Jubilee Celebrations, we have to pay the TA/DA to all office bearers and Circle Secretaries (CWC members) attending the CWC. Paying TA/DA for Nagpur and Delhi conventions also will result in huge expenditure for the CHQ. All CHQ office bearers and Circle Secretaries are requested to co-operate and bear with the CHQ.
CIRCLE/DIVISIONAL/BRANCH SECRETARIES - YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE:
As we have to devote full two days for discussion and preparation of P-3 memorandum to be submitted to 7th CPC, we will not be getting any time to discuss the pending problems of Circle/Divisional/Branch Unions. Hence there will not be any discussion on Circle/Divisional/Branch level pending issues in the Special Convention & Workshop. However the CHQ want to consolidate all pending problems of Circles/Divisions (other than Pay Commission related issues) and the General Secretary will explain the position of each case in the Special Convention/Workshop.
In order to facilitate the CHQ to consolidate and reply the position / action taken in respect of all the important pending issues in the Convention/Workshop, all Circle/Divisional/Branch Secretaries are requested to fill up the enclosed Proforma-I and send it to the CHQ on or before 30th April, 2014. Please ensure that the report is sent before the cut-off date without fail, ie. before 30-04-2014. Please fill up Proforma-II also and send it before 30-4-2014, so that CHQ can provide accommodation only for those delegates who actually want it. It is presumed that many delegates may hire hotel accommodation
at their own cost.

7th CPC terms of reference and further struggles.
7th CPC terms of reference and further struggles.
Comrades,
The union cabinet held on 28th February, 2014 has approved the terms of 7th CPC in its almost a last meeting of union cabinet, the following are the achievements of our movement in last three years and what we should do to rectify the terms of reference.
Let us start thinking about the 6th CPC and its implications, we all know that 6th CPC was constituted only in the year 2006, actually it should have been constituted in the year 2004. Now the Confederation has started its struggle in the last three years for the constitution on 7th CPC and major demands of CG Employees such as DA merger, 5 years wage revision, IR etc.
Now only the Confederation has started its struggle in last three years, whereas other unions has only extended support only by writing letters, no struggle was carried out others. Today we have won half battle that is constitution on 7th CPC . Further there is a possibility of date of effect change from 2016 to 2014, as in the terms of reference under (h) To recommend the date of effect of its recommendations on all the above. that means the 7th CPC commission may grant 2014 or not . If it grants 2014 then we can demand IR, DA merger etc even revision of TA rates & OTA rates.The 7th CPC can send an interim report on these.
The Central Government has not consulted the staff side of the JCM on the terms of reference. Many issues have not been settled by the Central Government including GDS issue, Bank employees pay revision like so on, this shows the negative attitude of the Central Government policy towards working class, in spite of all these negative attitude, we have achieved the constitution of 7th CPC through our struggles but for Confederation efforts we could not have got 7th CPC constituted. Government being a model employer has to pay decently, as we are cream in the society.
The many unions have today writing for change of terms of reference for making direct reference in 7th CPC for DA merger and IR, if these unions had co-operated with us from past one year through joint struggles, we could have had better terms of reference.
Today also it is not too late we can demand IR, GDS inclusion. date of effect from 1/1/2014, DA merger by representing it to 7th CPC and through joint struggles of Central Government Employees in August 2014.
Now let us not lose hope on DA merger, GDS inclusion ,IR and date of effect through more struggles we will achieve all these. Earlier also during 5th CPC we got better deal after the Union Cabinet had to modify the recommendations of the 5th CPC fitment formula from 20% to 40%. Till next two years there shall be series of struggles till we succeed.

iv. the prevailing emolument structure and retirement benefits available to employees of Central Public Sector Undertakings; and
v. the best global practices and their adaptability and relevance in Indian conditions.
h) To recommend the date of effect of its recommendations on all the above.
The Commission will make its recommendations within 18 months of the date of its constitution. It may consider, if necessary, sending interim reports on any of the matters as and when the recommendations are finalised.
The decision will result in the benefit of improved pay and allowances as well as rationalization of the pay structure in case of Central Government employees and other employees included in the scope of the 7th Central Pay Commission.
