Comrades! As already reported by our CHQ, the Confederation of CG Employees and All India State Govt Employees Federation are coming together to launch a series of programme of action. A massive convention in Talkatora Stadium on 8.12.2022 is the beginning of that series of action. As we have already announced our AIC in Thiruvananthapuram all our rank & file will be moving towards Kerala to attend our AIC notified on 13-14 December. Therefore, the CHQ calls upon our Delhi, Haryana and UP (Western areas of U.P) States to join the Talkatora Stadium convention programme on 8.12.2022 and express our solidarity! - KR GS AIPRPA

Ghedam Amar Rahe!

 Comrade Ghedam - A militant fighter is no more! 

Comrade H.M.Ghedam was always a militant fighter  for justice. He breathed his last after fighting for months with nature. His passing away is a great loss to all of us. A tireless comrade! Adorned many posts while in service and fought for postal employees. After retirement also that fighting spirit never reduced! Joined in AIPRPA and even attended our CHQ meetings as officiating Maharashtra State GS. He was not able to move and confined to house for months! Now he has breached his last! An irreparable loss to AIPRPA and the postal employees movement. We share the grief with all his relatives and comrades! Red Salutes! - KR GS AIPRPA

End this discrimination in Postal!

 CHQ AIPRPA Emails again to DoP Secretary in the background of JCM decision to the demand of the Staff Side for treating the pensiones on par with serving employees in the matter of allotting accommodation in Guest Houses of Government! The Email is as follows - KR GS AIPRPA

Sir 

Sub: Treating the Pensioners on par with the Employees for accommodation in Holiday Homes run by DoP – regarding.

This CHQ of All India Postal & RMS Pensioners Association has repeatedly requested to end the discriminatory treatment meted out to Pensioners in the matter of allotment of accommodation in the Holiday Homes run by Postal Department. But unfortunately, the DoP did not come forward to end the discrimination in contrast to the action of Central Government. This CHQ requests the DoP to kindly refer to the minutes circulated by the DOPT vide its No.3/2/2022-JCA Dated 13.10.2022,wherein a similar subject raised by the Staff Side to treat the pensioner on par with the official on duty for guest house charges was answered in affirmative and copy of OM of Directorate of Estates treating the pensioners on par with the serving staff was supplied to the Staff Side also.

The action of the DoP vide its OM No.1/         1/2017-WL/Sports Dated 12.03.2019 perpetrating a discrimination to the Pensioners is not yet removed. The action of the DoP is against the policy of the Government decided in the National Council JCM. The JCM National Council has agreed to treat the pensioners on par with the serving employees on duty for fixing charges in the guest houses of the Government. 

This CHQ again reiterates for necessary correction in the OM of DoP so that the pensioners are not discriminated against and the same facilities on the same charges like that of the serving staff be fixed for allotting accommodation in the holiday homes run and maintained by the Postal Department throughout the country.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

AIPRPA CHQ Finds the same situation again and again!

In the name of technology, the Pensioners are made to wait!

Employees were given without any hitch but for pensioners no payment!

Technology for whom? Technology for delay! Technology not for pensioners!

Demonstrate on 17th or 18th October in front of Circle Offices - whether the Administration allows or not grants permission to assemble and demonstrate!

Dear State GS / District /Division Secretaries & Comrades!

The situation is very intolerable to the Pensioners who are drawing Pension from POSB. The Pensioners drawing from Banks have no problem and their technology allows mid-month payment. The Employees are drawing through the same POSB but no problem is encountered by them.

But the Pensioners and Family Pensioners are denied off-cycle payment during the month even though OM is released by the Government. POSB is having a special technology that not allows only the Pensioners and Family Pensioners from drawing any arrears during the month! The standing instructions to download the OM from the Pension Ministry website and directly pay the Dearness Relief without waiting for Directorate endorsement is being thrown to winds in the name of technology.

The payment made after the Diwali Festival has no meaning to many of us. We have to demand payment by mid-month of October without waiting for the end of the month to take the payment along with our monthly pension.

Demonstrate before all Circle Offices in the country and show our discontentment.

Let the Administration understand the situation in POSB and correct the software early to make the payment of arrears or make other arrangements to make the payment of arrears!

Demonstrate powerfully! Demonstrate to make the Administration understand our discontentment!

Demonstrate with our banners and flags so that the Department understand the effect of POSB technology which is inferior!

AIPRPA CHQ एक ही स्थिति को बार-बार ढूंढता है!

तकनीक के नाम पर पेंशनभोगियों को किया जाता है इंतजार!

कर्मचारियों को बिना किसी रोक-टोक के दिया लेकिन पेंशनभोगियों को भुगतान नहीं!

तकनीक किसके लिए? देरी के लिए प्रौद्योगिकी! पेंशनभोगियों के लिए नहीं तकनीक!

17 या 18 अक्टूबर को अंचल कार्यालयों के सामने प्रदर्शन करें - प्रशासन इकट्ठा होने और प्रदर्शन करने की अनुमति देता है या नहीं!

प्रिय राज्य जी एस/जिला/मंडल सचिवों एवं साथियों!

पीओएसबी से पेंशन लेने वाले पेंशनभोगियों के लिए स्थिति बहुत असहनीय है। बैंकों से आहरण करने वाले पेंशनभोगियों को कोई समस्या नहीं है और उनकी तकनीक मध्य माह के भुगतान की अनुमति देती है। कर्मचारी एक ही पीओएसबी के माध्यम से आहरण कर रहे हैं लेकिन उन्हें कोई समस्या नहीं आ रही है।

लेकिन पेंशनभोगियों और परिवार पेंशनरों को महीने के दौरान ऑफ-साइकिल भुगतान से वंचित कर दिया जाता है, भले ही सरकार द्वारा कार्यालय ज्ञापन जारी किया गया हो। POSB के पास एक विशेष तकनीक है जो केवल पेंशनभोगियों और पारिवारिक पेंशनभोगियों को महीने के दौरान कोई भी बकाया राशि निकालने की अनुमति नहीं देती है! पेंशन मंत्रालय की वेबसाइट से कार्यालय ज्ञापन को डाउनलोड करने और निदेशालय के अनुमोदन की प्रतीक्षा किए बिना सीधे महंगाई राहत का भुगतान करने के स्थायी निर्देश प्रौद्योगिकी के नाम पर हवा में उड़ाए जा रहे हैं।

दिवाली त्योहार के बाद किए गए भुगतान का हममें से कई लोगों के लिए कोई मतलब नहीं है। हमें अपनी मासिक पेंशन के साथ भुगतान लेने के लिए महीने के अंत की प्रतीक्षा किए बिना अक्टूबर के मध्य महीने तक भुगतान की मांग करनी होगी।

देश के सभी सर्किल कार्यालयों के सामने प्रदर्शन करें और अपना असंतोष दिखाएं।

पीओएसबी की स्थिति को प्रशासन समझे और एरियर का भुगतान करने के लिए या अन्य व्यवस्था करने के लिए सॉफ्टवेयर को जल्दी ठीक करें!

जोरदार प्रदर्शन करो! प्रशासन को हमारे असंतोष को समझाने के लिए प्रदर्शन करें!

हमारे बैनर और झंडों के साथ प्रदर्शन करें ताकि विभाग POSB तकनीक के प्रभाव को समझ सके जो कि निम्नतर है!

CHQ Emails to Secretary [P] for immediate payment of DR to Pensioners

 CHQ Emails to Secretary on Payment of DR immediately!

Sir,

Sub: Request for ordering immediate payment of arrears of Dearness Relief to Pensioners before Diwali – reg.

The OM for release of Dearness Relief 4% so that total DR will increase from 34% to 38% from 01.07.2022 has been issued by the DoP&PW as per the approval by the Cabinet. The said OM was issued on 8.10.2022. As per the standing instructions of DoP, any DR related OM issued by the DoP&PW can be downloaded and implemented without waiting for any endorsement from the Postal Directorate. Some circles do not even accept this stand but insist that the Postal Directorate should endorse any OM for implementation.

As the OM was issued on 8^th October, it should have been implemented all over India by the Postal Authorities. Unfortunately, there is no evenness in the circles and divisions in this matter. Some Circles and Divisions make the payment while some others take shelter behind the inability of the software to make off-cycle payments during the month to the Pensioners and Family Pensioners. This is not only escapism but also amounts to downgrading the technology. This CHQ had already emailed to the DoP to kindly intervene so that the software could be updated if needed.

As the technology grows, more convenience should be available to us and definitely not curtailment of our already existing facilities. Despite the OM being released on 8^th of this month, why do the Pensioners and Family Pensioners have to wait for the whole month for payment along with the pension? The technology growth is resulting in denial of payment after the issue of OM! This is going backwards in the name of new technology! What is the use of such a technology? Either the technology should have been improved already or rejected as backward by the DoP.

This CHQ would request you to intervene immediately so that DR arrears payment is made to all before the coming Diwali besides once again issue reiteration of earlier standing instructions so that on DR any OM issued by the DoP&PW is to be immediately implemented without waiting for any endorsement.

Thanking you,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Yours faithfully,

Confederation and All India State Govt Employees Federation on Action!

 

Confederation and AISGEF proposes a programme of Action on a Charter of Demands in a meeting held at Faridabad on 6^th September 2022!

 

AIPRPA extends full support and solidarity to the good move! NCCPA will no doubt extend full support and solidarity and issue a call to join and strengthen the joint movement of Central and State Government Employees sponsored by Confederation and AISGEF!

 

AIPRPA suggests enlarging the protest action by initiating talks with JCM Staff Side and AIDEF!

 

 

Charter of Demands:

 

1. Scrap NPS; Rollback to OPS

2. Regularise all contractual / outsourced / daily waged employees; Fill up all the

    vacancies in Central State Government / PSUs urgently

3. Stop privatisation / corporatisation of PSUs

4. Constitute the VIII Central Pay Commission

5. Release all DA / DR including confiscated arrears

6. Remove all riders and restrictions on compassionate employment

7. Ensure democratic trade union rights

 

Programme of Action decided in the joint meeting if the issues are not taken for notice up to 30^th October, 2022 are as follows:

 

a.  National Convention at Talkatora Stadium, New Delhi on 8th December, 2022.

b.  State level meetings in November, 2022.

C. State level joint conventions in January/February, 2023.

d.  Poster, handbills etc. should be prepared and distributed in due course.

e.  Independent campaigns should be initiated during March, April, and May, 2023.

f.   Vehicle Jathas in July, August, 2023.

g.  Parliament March in September, 2023.

 

AIPRPA as a class-conscious organisation extends full support. We understand that unless the privatization move of the Government is stopped, there is no future for the pensioners. Similarly, the NPS should be opposed and scrapped. The ambit of joint protest can be further expanded with the inclusion of JCM Staff Side and the AIDEF. The AIDEF is already launching a strong movement against NPS by organising a big rally in the national capital. The leaders of Confederation and AISGEF will definitely think all aspects and enlarge the ambit of protest against the Central and State Governments. – KR GS AIPRPA
