PRESS
RELEASE
All the Central Government Staff
were eagerly waiting for an enhancement of their pay and perks till the 7th
CPC submits its report. But the 7th
CPC has submitted a report which is retrograde and anti-employee in
nature. We strongly condemn the report
and request the Government to consider the same with a positive approach towards
their employees. Even though the 7th
CPC projected that there is 23% percent of increase in the salaries of the
central Government employees but in actual the MTS Staff and Postmen working in
the Department of Posts will get `300/- less in their salary they are presently
drawing if it is implemented as it is.
The Pay Commission has omitted various establishments in various
departments to consider their demands as is done to the Postal Civil Wing in
the Department of Posts*. We, therefore, request the Government of India to
consider the report with a positive approach to the employees.

MEMORANDUM SUBMITTED BEFORE THE DEPARTMENT ON 01.12.2015
Smt.Kaveri Banerji
Secretary
Department of Posts
NEW DELHI
Madam
With reference to the Directorate’s letter No.7-1/15-PCC
dated 26.11.2015 and with utmost respect, we for and on behalf of our Union
like to place the following facts for the favourable consideration and accord a
favourable recommendation.
Our Union has submitted a memorandum before the Hon’ble
Seventh Pay Commission in detail. But it is astonishing that the Commission
have neither considered the memorandum nor the personal hearing along with the
Federation in the case Civil Wing of the Postal Department. The report submitted before the Government by
the Commission does not have any mentioned about the Postal Civil Wing which is
highly condemnable and we reiterate our demands before your kind self for
according proper attention to the Civil Wing Staff as we have no other
alternative now till another pay commission is appointed which may take another
ten years or so. We made the following demands before the Commission which have
been ignored by them.
1. JUNIOR
ENGINEERS (Civil & Electrical)
The actual executors of the
works are being these category and the number of posts are very less in the
Department hence their jurisdiction lies approximately 200 square kilometres in
plain areas and even whole state in the North Eastern Sector. Wherever the works are being carried out
these category staff has to run almost once in every day in each site. As such they cannot depend upon the public
transport system for each travel as they may not reach the sites at the
required time. Most of the officials are
maintaining their own vehicles and they have to meet the expenditure from their
pockets every day. Even though they are
eligible for the travelling allowances as per actual, their expenditure runs
beyond the eligibility criteria fixed by the Government. Considering their loss, it may be proposed to
grant an ex-gratia petrol allowance of `3000/- per month over and above the
present transportation allowance for meeting
their
expenditure which may increase their output in the service.
2. DRAUGHTS
MAN GRADE-I & II
As per the norms of the
Government, in each every Divisional Office should have a draughtsman. Their responsibility is to help the Executive
Engineer/Superintending Engineers in discharging their duties effectively in
the office and sites. The Vth and VIth
Pay Commissions have made clear cut recommendations for the appointment of
Draughtsman cadre by direct appointment/promotion from Group-D officials of the
Departments. But the Postal Department
has not made any effort to recruit/promote the eligible candidates to the grade
of Draughtsman hence 99% of the posts are lying vacant. It is therefore prayed this Hon’Ble
Commission to make effective recommendation for appointment from open
examination and also to promote the eligible MTS Staff to the cadre of Draughtsman.
3. OFFICE
SUPERINTENDENTS :
The office superintendent
category is available now in the Civil Wing being posted in the office of Chief
Engineer/Superintendenting Engineers and they are responsible for maintaining
the cadre and administrative matters of the Civil Wing Staff including the Class-I
Engineers and the ministerial/technical posts.
But they are placed now in the PB-II with grade pay of `4200/- which is
unjustifiable. As per higher
responsibilities held by them the posts of Office Superintendents should have
at least be placed in Gazetted Rank and at the pay scale of `7500-200-12000
since 01.01.2006 (new scale) and PB-II with a grade of `4800/-. The same has already been recommended by the
Cadre Restructuring Committee of the Department.
4. ASSISTANTS/HEAD
CLERK
The Assistant category is
available now in the Civil Wing being posted in the office ofExecutive
Engineers and they are in-charge of office.
But they are placed now in the PB-II with grade pay of `4200/- which is
unjustifible. As per higher
responsibilities held by them the posts of Assistants should have at least be
placed in Gazetted Rank and at the pay scale of `5500-200-9300 since 01.01.2006 (new scale) and PB-II with a grade pay of
`4600/-. The same has already been recommended by the
Cadre Restructuring Committee of the Department
5. WORKS CLERK GRADE-I & II
These posts should be
combined and placed equivalent to the post Postal Assistants/Sorting Assistant
and placed at pay scale of `4000-100-6000 since 01.01.1996(new
scale) and PB-II at grade pay
`2400 at the initial appointment.
For the justification it is stated that in to 5th Pay
Commission the Postmen cadre which required only eighth class qualification
were placed at `875/- and on acceptance of the VI the Pay Commission
recommendation the Postman cadre has been placed in the pay scale of
3050-75-3950-80-4590 and the Works Clerk Grade-II was also placed at the same
pay scale and the action of the Department was highly discriminatory as the
qualification for the appointment for Works Clerk Grade-II is required as +2
pass and to qualify All India competitive Examination conducted by Staff
Selection Commission. The pay scales as
recommended by the Cadre Restructuring Committee may be considered with effect
from 01.01.2006 and also these category of staff should not be placed under the
inter-state transfer liability considering their lower pay and their difficulty
for maintaining two or three establishments.
6. STENOGRAPHERS :
All
the stenographers in the Civil Wing are attached with the sensitive post like
Chief Engineers/Superintending Engineers/Executive Engineers as such they are
dealing with highly sensitive matters and as such they should be rewarded with
better pay package and promotional aspects.
The initial appointment to the Stenographer should be at PB-II with
grade pay of `4800/- and on completion of six years they should be placed at
PB-2 with grade pay of `5400 with effect from 01.01.2006. The post attached with the Chief Engineer
should be equivalent to Private Secretary in PB-3 with grade pay of `6600/-
7. MULTI
TASKING STAFF – GROUP-C
The multi tasting staff
attached to Civil Wing are placed in the sensitive offices hence they should be
rewarded accordingly with PB-I with grade pay of `2000/- with effect from 01.01.2006.
8. To include the Electrical
Wing Cadre officials in Civil Wing of Department of Post.
The following cadres are available in
electrical wing which are working for Department of Post like Technician,
Wireman, Mechanical Workman however these cadres are yet to be included in the
cadre list of Department of Post.

operation of Department building Post Offices, Rented building Post Offices,

10. Cadre restructure of

duties like, maintenance of Lights, Fans, Genset operation, A/C unit operation,
Motor Pump operation of Department building Post Offices, Rented building Post
Offices, Staff Quarters, Inspection Quarters, Officer’s Quarters, and Training
Centre.
11. Cadre wise Promotion for
Technician/ Wireman/ Mechanical Workman.
Since the cadres of Technician, Wireman,
Mechanical Workman are performing technical and risk job, the existing
promotion like MACP-I (10 years) , MACP-II(20 Years) and MACP-III (30 years)
need to be changed as MACP-I (8 years) MACP-II(16 Years) MACP-III (24 years)
like upto total 5 stages of promotion to the maximum of 40 Years.
12. Automatic Promotion for
Technician/ Wireman/ Mechanical Workman without examination.
If any person retires as Technician the next
cadre of Wireman staff according to eligibility/Seniority, willingness the
vacant post of retired Technician need to be filled up automatically, like wise
for Wireman that is the next cadre of Mechanical Workman staff according to
eligibility/Seniority, willingness the vacant post of retired Wireman need to
be filled up automatically.
13.
Increase
in Fixation of cadre wise pay scale
Pay band / Grade Pay of Technician, Wireman and
Mechanical Workman need to be hiked 5 times of the existing Pay band / Grade
Pay. Since the above said cadres are
performing risk involved job and their pay is very meagre, their Pay need to be
increased as mentioned above in the upcoming 7th Pay Commission.
14.
Risk
Allowance for Civil/Electrical Maintenance staff - Technician/ Wireman/
Mechanical Workman.
Work performed by the civil/electrical
maintenance staff which involves risk in the following duties like maintenance
of high raised buildings, Lights, Fans, Genset operation, A/C unit operation,
Motor Pump operation of Department building Post Offices, Rented building Post
Offices, Staff Quarters, Inspection Quarters, Officer’s Quarters, and at
Training Centre need to be appreciated by provision of risk allowance of
Rs.1000/- per month and in case of any major accident or death on duty the
Department need to give a sum of Rs.15 Lakhs as compensation separately

Mechanical Workman.
As the Electrical maintenance staff duties which
involves outdoor electrical maintenance duties of Post Offices, Staff Quarters
etc, their claim of TA (Traveling Allowance) bill need to be sanctioned without
any restriction.
We hope we have placed only
genuine demands required for our cadre and hope it will be acceded and also
