Tremendous Activities of TeamAIAPC at the Directorate during 07/12/2015 & 08/12/2015

This is for favour of information of all of our friends in Postmaster Cadre that in spite of being an un-recognized association AIAPC not only entered in the office of the 7^th Central Pay Commission but also submitted its Memorandum. All of you may have noticed that no any unions / associations found their place in the report of the 7^th CPC excepting IP Association who is going to get their demand fulfilled after a long battle for 15 years (approx), but the 7^th CPC has given a ‘DISTINCT EMPHASIS’ on the demand of our cadre and recommended the following in its report submitted to the Hon’ble Minister of Finance:

“Accordingly the Commission recommends that while 25 percent of the posts of Senior Post Master may continue to be filled up from Post Master Gr.III through seniority based promotions, eligible officers from the Post Masters’ cadre (Postmaster Gr.II and Postmaster Gr.III) may also be permitted to appear for LDCE along with Inspector (Posts) for the balance 75 percent of the Senior Postmasters’ posts”.

Obviously this association will take up the demand of 100% posts of Senior Postmaster for the Postmaster Cadre alone. But this was the right time to make endeavours regarding pay. It is also known to all that the MOF (DoE) has already called for opinions of different Departments / Ministries to convey their views within three weeks vide D.O. dated 21/11/2015. Accordingly the DOP also invited opinions of different Recognized Unions/ Associations / Federations to convey their opinions so that consolidated views can be sent to the MOF vide letter dtd 26-11-2015.

This time also the AIAPC being an un-recognized association has successfully placed its Memorandum to the DOP on 30/11/2015 and to the Hon’ble Minister of Communication & IT on 01/12/2015.

Considering the gravity of the situation, TeamAIAPC cannot remain silent /satisfied only by writing the DOP as well as to the Hon’ble Minister of Communication & IT. As soon as the DOP convenes meeting with representatives of recognized non affiliated Service Associations / Unions and recognized Associations /unions to discuss the issues relating to the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission on 8^th December, 2015 vide letter 02/12/2015, AIAPC sent FAX to the D.G. Madam seeking her kind permission for participation in the said meeting. Getting no response from the Directorate, TeamAIAPC (Containing Five Members led by the GS) marched to New Delhi and directly approached the PS to the D. G. Madam seeking appointment on 07/12/2015. As madam was busy with some other important works as conveyed by the PS, but advised TeamAIAPC to meet to the Member (P). Accordingly TeamAIAPC approached the Member (P) seeking necessary permission for participation in the meeting dtd 08/12/2015 (15:00 pm). In turn, he kindly opined that the Directorate would not accord such permission as it would be against the protocol, but asked for handing over our memorandum to him and assured that they must consider our proposal. Accordingly, the TeamAIAPC presented our matter and handed over the memorandum to him with assurance for its due consideration.

TeamAIAPC also submitted the same to the PS to D. G. Madam, to the ADG (Pay Commission Cell) and also to the Director (SR & Legal) on his demand. In one word, the TeamAIAPC has submitted its memorandum to every important channel of the Directorate including the highest authority of the DOP and created several positive discussions / conversations in every nooks and corner of the Directorate during 7/12/2015 and 08/12/2015 even our memorandum was distinctly discussed in both the meetings (11:00 am & 03:00 pm) and subjected for consideration today.

It is also known that our letter regarding Change / Modification of Recruitment Rules and Sr Postmaster is in active process at the Directorate.

TeamAIAPC did its best now.

Let us see, what does the Directorate recommend about us to the MOF. Till then we will have to wait for taking further action /discussion is this regard. Hope for the best.
