Date : 27-11-2015
Dear Comrades,
National
Secretariat of the Confederation of Central Govt Employees &
Workers held on 27-11-15 at New Delhi after detailed deliberations on
the recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) has decided as follows :
1.The National Secretariat has come to the unanimous conclusion that many of the recommendations of the 7th CPC
are most retrograde and require to be modified before implementation
by the Government, especially the faulty and depressed minimum wage
arrived at by the 7th CPC and the fitment formula. Some of the recommendations such as abolition of certain allowances etc., are to be rejected.
2.
The National Secretariat is of the firm opinion that a united struggle
of entire Central Govt Employees including Railways, Defence and
Confederation under the banner of National Joint Council of Action
(NJCA) can only compel the Government to modify or reject the retrograde
recommendations of the 7th CPC and hence it is decided to further strengthen the unity.
3.
The National Secretariat further resolved that the form of the united
struggle of NJCA should be an indefinite strike, within a time frame, as
Govt is moving fast to implement the recommendations. Negotiation with
the Government should precede declaration of indefinite strike and
intensive campaign among the employees and mobilization, to create
sanction behind the demands.
4.
In case the requisite movement is not coming about for any reason,
Confederation National Secretariat will meet and chalk out its own
independent action.
5.
Regarding the sector-wise issues relating to the employees of each
department, the affiliated organizations of the Confederation in those
departments shall take initiative for uniting all like-minded
Federations/Associations/Unions in their department and shall organize
agitational programmes on departmental specific demands.
6.
The National Secretariat decided to insist that the charter of demands
of the NJCA and Confederation should include the demands of Gramin Dak
Sevaks, Casual/Contract labourers, filling up of vacancies and scraping
the New Contributory Pension Scheme.
7.
All affiliated organizations of Confederation are requested to intimate
by e-mail to the Confederation CHQ (confederationhq@gmail.com or
mkrishnan6854@gmail.com) on the required modifications or additions /
deletions in the common recommendations (not department-specific) of the
7th Pay Commission on or before 05-12-2015.
8.
Available Secretariat members of the Confederation will meet on
07-12-2015 at New Delhi and finalize the common demands to be included
in the charter of demands of NJCA. (NJCA meeting is being held at JCM
National Council, Staff-side office on 08-12-2015 to finalize the
charter of demands and the further course of action).
9. The National Secretariat congratulated all the Central Govt Employees who made the 27th November
2015 ‘All India Protest Day’ at the call of NJCA, a grand success all
over the country by wearing ‘black badges’ and participating in protest
demonstrations.
Other Decisions:
1.Next All India Workshop-cum-Trade Union Camp of Confederation will be held at Dehradun (Uttarakhand) before March 2016.
2.
The National Secretariat extended full support and solidarity to the
proposed agitational programmes of Passport Employees Association
including ‘Indefinite hungerfast’.

DECEMBER 1st & 2nd , 2015 STRIKE DEFERRED
SECRETARY GENERAL AND
ALL GENERAL SECRETARIES OF NFPE & AIPEU GDS (NFPE) WILL SIT ON TWO DAYS
HUNGER FAST INFRONT OF DAK BHAWAN, NEW DELHI ON 1st & 2nd
DECEMBER 2015.
ONE DAY MASS HUNGER
FAST IN FRONT OF ALL CPMG / PMG & DIVISIONAL OFFICES ON 11th
DECEMBER 2015.
TO EXPRESS OUR ANGER,
RESENTMENT AND STRONG PROTEST AGAINST THE REJECTION OF THE LEGITIMATE DEMANDS
OF THREE LAKHS GRAMIN DAK SEVAKS BY THE NDA GOVT.
The Federal Secretariat of NFPE held at NFPE Office, New Delhi
on 26-11-2015, reviewed the whole situation prevailing among the postal
employees in general and the Gramin Dak Sevaks (GDS) in particular after the
submission of the 7th Central Pay Commission Report to the Govt and
also after the appointment of a separate committee for GDS by the Govt, headed
by a retired Postal Board Member as Chairman.
The Federal Secretariat further reviewed the proposed two days strike
call given by NFPE and AIPEU GDS (NFPE) for realization of the legitimate
demands of the Gramin Dak Sevaks, which
include bringing the GDS also under the purview of 7th CPC
treating them as Civil Servants.
The main demand of NFPE and AIPEU GDS (NFPE) in the charter
of demands submitted to Govt and Postal Board is “inclusion of GDS under the
purview of 7th CPC”. NFPE organized series of agitational programmes
for the GDS demands including dharnas, hunger fast, GDS Parliament March,
Parliament March under the banner of Postal JCA (NFPE & FNPO), one day
strike on 12th December 2012 and 48 hours strike on 12th
& 13th February 2014. Due to our agitational programmes the
Postal Board was compelled to submit the proposal for inclusion of GDS under 7th
CPC to Finance Ministry with favourable recommendations. But the Finance
Ministry rejected the proposal three times and it is in this background NFPE
& AIPEU GDS (NFPE) decided to go for two days strike on December 1st
& 2nd demanding the Govt to include GDS under the 7th
Pay Commission.
Even though the Govt refused to include the GDS under the 7th
CPC, the 7th CPC has suo moto examined the main demand of the GDS
ie., treating them as Civil Servants and extending them all the benefits of the
departmental employees, ofcourse proportionately. It is most unfortunate that
the Pay Commission headed by a retired Supreme Court Justice as Chairman, has
considered our demand and categorically stated that Gramin Dak Sevaks are
holders of Civil Posts but outside the regular civil service and hence can not
be treated at par with other civilian employees. After this observation of the
Seventh CPC even if the GDS are included in the 7th CPC they are not
going to get a fair deal. This has compelled us to modify the demand placed by
us before the Govt in the charter of demands.
NFPE, from the very beginning has opposed the appointment of
an Officer Committee for GDS and NFPE & AIPEU GDS (NFPE) has tried their
best to prevent appointment of an Officer Committee and compelled the
department to make effort for inclusion of GDS under 7th CPC itself.
But now NDA Govt rejected our demand and has unilaterally appointed GDS
Committee with a retired Postal Board Member as Chairman and cheated three lakh
GDS employees. From our past experiences we know that the retired officers of
the Postal Department will never do justice to the Gramin Dak Sevaks.
In view of the fact that 7th CPC has rejected our
demand for Civil Servant status and also the Govt has unilaterally imposed the
officer committee on GDS, the Federal Secretariat felt that it is not
appropriate to go for an immediate strike with the demands raised by us in the
charter of demands, i.e., inclusion of GDS under 7th CPC. Now
GDS
can get justice only if NDA Govt take a policy decision to regularize
the
services of GDS treating them as Civil Servants. Federal Secretariat is
fully
aware that we can not expect such a decision without the change in the
policy of the Government towards GDS. To make a change in the
policy decision of the Govt., a bigger mobilization and strike of all
postal
employees including GDS with the active support and solidarity of other
central
Govt employees under the banner of Confederation of Central Govt
Employees and
workers and also the JCM National Council Staffside organizations is
required.
The Federal Secretariat decided to explore all possibilities
and wider consultations for such a united struggle. The Federal Secretariat
felt that to pave way for wider consultations, the independent strike call of
NFPE & AIPEU GDS (NFPE) need to be deferred and all likeminded
organizations are to be brought under a common platform. Accordingly Federal
Secretariat unanimously decided to defer the proposed two days strike scheduled
to be held on 1st & 2nd December 2015.
The Secretary General and all General Secretaries of NFPE
shall sit on two days hunger fast in front of Dak Bhawan, New Delhi on 1st
& 2nd December 2015 expressing our strong protest to the Govt
and also demanding regularization of Gramin Dak Sevaks by granting them civil
servant status with all consequential benefits of regular employees.
The Federal Secretariat, while saluting the grass root level
workers for their intensive campaign and preparation for the strike, calls upon
them to organize one day hunger fast infront of all CPMG / PMG and Divisional
Offices throughout the country on 11th December 2015 to ventilate
our anger, resentment and strong protest against the callous and inhuman
attitude of the NDA Govt towards three lakh Gramin Dak Sevaks who are the
backbone of the Postal Department catering to the needs of the rural population
of this country in postal sector.
Federal Executive of NFPE will meet shortly to review the situation and shall decide
future course of action.

கொள்கிறோம். தமிழக அஞ்சல் மூன்றின் போராட்டம் அகில இந்திய முழுமைக்குமே வழி காட்டட்டடும் !
முக்கியமாக அஞ்சல் பகுதிக்கு மறுக்கப்பட்ட அம்சங்கள் :-
Postal
Assistant/Sorting Assistant
11.8.23
They have demanded enhancement of minimum educational qualifications for
Direct
Recruits
for Postal Assistants/Sorting Assistants from Class XII to Graduation and the
entry
grade pay
from GP 2400 to GP 4200. Lower Selection Grade (LSG) and Higher Selection
Grade
(HSG) II and I, which are promotional posts in this cadre, have accordingly
been sought
to be
placed in higher levels.
Analysis
and Recommendations
11.8.24 The Commission is of the view that there is no
justification for the upgrade sought.
Postman
Cadre
11.8.28
The existing hierarchy of Postmen Cadre is as follows: Post Grade Pay
Entry Level Qualification and Method of Filling Postman 2000 Class X:
50 percent by DR 50 percent by promotion from MTS MTS 1800 Class X
or ITI They have demanded that the grade pay of Postman may be enhanced
from GP 2000 to GP 2800.
Analysis
and Recommendations
11.8.29
The Commission has noted that VI CPC had consciously recommended
upgradation
of
the Postman in Department of Posts and the analogous post of Mail Guard in
Railway Mail
Service
to their present level. The Commission has noted the entry level qualifications
prescribed
(Class X or ITI for MTS) as also the work content, and is of the view that there is no justification for further
raising the entry grade pay of Postman.
Post
Office (PO) and Rail Mail Service (RMS) Accountants
11.8.30
There are demands for creation of a separate cadre for the accountants of this
cadre
and
placing them at par with organised accounts cadres.
11.8.31 The Commission is, however, of the view that the
proposal is in the nature of cadre restructuring, which is not in its
ambit.
Rail
Mail Service (RMS) Mail Guard
11.8.32
The hierarchy of RMS Mail Guard is as follows:
Post Grade
Pay Entry level Qualification and Method of Filling Sorting Assistant 2400
50 percent
DR with Class XII 50 percent through LDCE from Postman (three yrs of
service)
and MTS
(five yrs of service) Mail Guard 2000 Class X for Direct Recruits (50
percent DR,
50 percent
by promotion, 25 percent from MTS and 25 percent from GDS) MTS 1800
Class X or ITI Higher GP 2400 has been demanded for Mail Guards. Demands
have also been received for
merger of
the cadres of Mail Guard with Sorting Assistants in GP 2400.
Analysis
and Recommendations
11.8.33
The Commission has noted that mail guards are posted in Transit Mail Offices
and
Transit
Sections (Trains) and their duties and responsibilities are considered arduous
in nature.
It
is also noted that the VI CPC had consciously established relativity between
Mail Guard,
Postman
and Constables of Central Police Organizations. As
no modification in the grade pay of Postman is recommended, the Mail Guard
shall also be placed in same pay level.
Multi-Tasking
Staff (MTS)
11.8.36
They have demanded higher GP 2000 for MTS-domestic posts and GP 2400 for MTS-
foreign
posts, stating that the two job profiles require greater skills as compared to
MTS of
other
departments. Higher educational qualification for entry into MTS-foreign posts
has also
been
proposed.
Analysis
and Recommendations
11.8.37
The Commission is of the view that given the minimum entry level qualification
of
Class
X, and the job content of MTS-domestic posts, the existing entry GP 1800
appears to be
appropriate.
In so far as MTS-foreign posts are concerned, it is noted that they have, as
Packers
of
Foreign Posts, been treated as skilled workers and accordingly, in the wake of
a judgement
of
the High Court of Delhi, they were provided GP 1900. No upgrade is considered necessary for either MTS-domestic or
MTS-foreign posts.
Gramin
Dak Sewaks
11.8.48 A
demand has been made before the Commission for treating Gramin Dak Sewaks
(GDS) as
civil servants at par with other regular employees for all purposes.
Analysis
and Recommendations
11.8.49
The Commission has carefully considered the demand and noted the
following:
a. GDS are
Extra-Departmental Agents recruited by Department of Posts to serve in rural
areas.
b. As per
the RRs, the minimum educational qualification for recruitment to this post is
Class
X.
c. GDS are
required to be on duty only for 4-5 hours a day under the terms and conditions
of their
service.
d. The GDS
are remunerated with Time Related Continuity Allowance (TRCA) on the
pattern of
pay scales for regular government employees, plus DA on pro-rata basis.
e. A GDS
must have other means of income independent of his remuneration as a GDS,
to sustain
himself and his family.
11.8.50
Government of India has so far held that the GDS is outside the Civil Service
of the
Union
and shall not claim to be at par with the Central Government employees. The
Supreme
Court
judgment also states that GDS are only holders of civil posts but not civilian
employees.
The Commission endorses this view and therefore has no
recommendation with regard to GDS.
Separation
of Cadres
11.8.51
System Administrators and Marketing Executives have demanded creation of
separate
cadres
with higher pay scales. Presently incumbents of these posts are drawn from the
cadre of
Postal
Assistants/Sorting Assistant Cadre.
11.8.52
The V and the VI CPC have also dealt with this issue and have not recommended
separation
of cadres. The Commission also does not see
any rationale for creating separate cadres.
Modified
Assured Career Progression (MACP)
5.1.44
Although a number of demands were received for increasing the frequency of
MACP as well as to enhance the financial benefit accruing out of it, this
Commission feels that the
inherent
issues in the existing pay structure owing to which there was widespread
resentment have been set right by way of rationalisation of pay levels,
abolition of pay band and grade pay and introduction of a matrix based
open pay structure. Hence, there is no
justification for increasing the frequency of MACP and it will continue to
be administered at 10, 20 and 30 years as before. In the new Pay matrix,
the employees will move to the immediate next level.
BENCH
MARK FOR MACP AND PROMOTIONS:-
5.1.45
There is, however, one significant aspect where this Commission feels that a
change is
required.
This is with regard to the benchmark for performance appraisal for MACP as well
as
for
regular promotion. The Commission recommends that this
benchmark, in the interest of improving performance level, be enhanced
from ‘Good’ to ‘Very Good.’ In addition, introduction of more stringent
criteria such as clearing of departmental examinations or mandatory
training before grant of MACP can also be considered by the government.
என்ன கொடுமை இது ! அடிமைச் சந்தையா ?
NON PERFORMER என்று யார் வேண்டுமானாலும்
எப்படி வேண்டுமானாலும் முடிவு செய்ய முடியுமே ! இதற்கு MECHANISM எதுவும் கிடையாதே !
Withholding Annual Increments of Non-performers after
20 Years
5.1.46
There is a widespread perception that increments as well as upward movement in
the
hierarchy
happen as a matter of course. The perception is that grant of MACP, although
subject
to the
employee attaining the laid down threshold of performance, is taken for
granted.
This Commission
believes that employees who do not meet the laid down performance
criterion should not be allowed to earn future annual increments. The
Commission is therefore proposing withholding of annual increments in the
case of those employees who are not able to meet the benchmark either for
MACP or a regular promotion within the first 20 years of their service.
This will
act as a deterrent for complacent and inefficient employees. However, since
this is
not a
penalty, the norms for penal action in disciplinary cases involving withholding
increments
will not
be applicable in such cases. This
will be treated as an “efficiency bar”. Additionally,for such employees there
could be an option to leave service on similar terms and conditions as
prescribed for voluntary retirement.
HRA :
8.7.15
Considering all these factors, and in line with our general policy of
rationalizing the
percentage
based allowances by a factor of 0.8, the Commission
recommends that HRA
should be rationalized to 24 percent, 16 percent and 8
percent of the Basic Pay for Class
X, Y and Z cities respectively. However, the Commission also recognizes that with
the current
formulation,
once the new pay levels are implemented, the compensation towards HRA will
remain
unchanged until such time as the pay and allowances are next revised. Going by
the
historical
trend this event is likely to be a decade away. Some representations have been
received
stating that towards the later part of the ten year period the HRA compensation
falls
considerably
short of the requirement. Having regard to this, the Commission also
recommends that the rate of HRA will be revised to 27
percent, 18 percent and 9 percent
when DA crosses 50 percent, and further revised to 30
percent, 20 percent and 10 percent
when DA crosses 100 percent.
