discussion and it was passed unanimously.
1. RAISING RETIREMENT AGE :
The union observed and
resolved that the life span citizens of the entire country have been increased
considerably due to better health consciousness and medical support. Hence the retirement age also to be raised to
62 years considering better health status of the central government
employees. It is therefore requested
that the matter may be taken at the appropriate level.2. TRANSFER POLICY OF GROUP-C STAFF INCLUDING JUNIOR ENGINEERS
A resolution was moved
regarding the transfer policy of Group-C staff i.e. Junior Engineers and
ministerial staff. As per the present
transfer policy of Group-C employees including Junior Engineers they were
transferred out of their home state or settled state. As a whole of Postal Department this kind of transfer
policy is existing only in Postal Civil Wing. The Group-C staff are a meagre
paid employees and they are facing enormous difficulties to themselves and
their family too. They are getting handicapped in their moral support to their
families and attending the education of children also. Moreover they are unable to maintain two
establishments at two places. Hence, it
is resolved that the present transfer policy of Junior Engineers and
ministerial staff falling under Group-C may be modified to the extent that the
transfers are
restricted within either at
home state or at the settled states. Hence the resolution after a long
deliberation declared passed. The matter may be taken up with the concerned.
3.
DECLARATION OF
CONFIRMATION IN THE POST OF JUNIOR ENGINEERS:
The
Department has not issued the clearance of probation order in respect of newly
recruited Junior Engineers (Civil/Elect) in the Postal Civil Wing since 2006
due to non-completion of training as stipulated in their appointment order. In
this connection it is brought to kind notice that there is no facility for
training have been organised by the Department as such it is not the fault of
the individual employees. It is,
therefore, resolved that the Department may relax the condition of passing the
Departmental Examination until the facility for imparting training is organized
by the Department.
4.
RECRUITMENT OF
DRAUGHTSMAN:
Even though the post of
Draughtsman carries higher responsibilities in the Postal Civil Wing but no
recruitment had taken place since its reorganisation and the work of technical
nature are looked after by the ministerial staff who do not possess any
technical qualification. It is,
therefore, resolved that the recruitment to the grade of Draughtsman by
promotion to the eligible MTS and by direct recruitment so as to relieve the
ministerial staff from their anxiety.
5.
ASSIGNING
ADMINISTRATIVE POWERS TO OFFICE SUPERINTENDENTS
As on date the Office
Superintendents are not assigned with any administrative powers in the offices
of Chief Engineer/Superintending Engineers and functioning as a senior clerk
only. Hence, it is resolved that the
administrative powers on routine matters of non-gazetted employees under the
jurisdiction of the concerned office may be assigned to them.
6.
GRANTING OF MACP AT
PROMOTIONAL HIERARCHY GRADE PAY:
The Civil Wing where there is
LDC/UDC pattern is followed and promotional avenue is also very less. Hence granting of MACP to them in the
hierarchy of grade pay is facing a heavy monetary loss. As such it is resolved
that the MACP may be allowed on the basis of promotional posts hierarchy grade
pay.
7.
FORMATION OF
COMPLAINT REDRESSAL FORUM
As on date there is no
complaint grievance cell is functioning under the Postal Civil Wing as in the
other units of the Department. Even
there is no women’s cell which is mandatory as per the latest orders of the Government. Now there is no authority or forum is
available in the Postal Civil Wing to deal with the complaints and grievances
of staff working in the Civil Wing.
Hence it is resolved that the Department may constitute a complaint cell
as well as wormen’s cell in the Civil Wing with appellate authority at the
