CIRCLE
UNION ADDRESSED ALL INDIA UNION (CHQ) TO TAKE UP THE ISSUE OF
JOINING OF NEW P.A.s WITH POSTAL DIRECTORATE IN NEW DELHI
The copy of the letter is produced below for the knowledge of all.

Arrangement of immediate joining of newly selected P.A.s in West Bengal Circle.
Dear Comrade,
This is for
your information that 409 new Postal Assistants have been selected in West
Bengal Circle for the year 2011-12. Though the result has been declared in the
month of December 2013, their joining has been halted due to non-completion of
Police Verification Report (PVR). The department and the selected candidates
have done everything on their parts, but the reports are pending almost in all
cases with the Police Authority. Now as the calendar of the 16th Lok
Sabha Election has been declared and it is the priority of State
Administration, it appears far-fetched that Police authorities would do
anything in coming three months or so.
In addition to the above
candidates, the vacancy for the year 2013-14 has been declared and another 534
PAs will be waiting soon for joining in this Circle. Due to the acute shortage
of staffs, the NFPE Group of Unions requested the Circle Administration to
arrange their joining after providing in-house training like yesteryears, and
the Chief PMG also discussed the matter in a recent video-conference with the
concerned member of the Postal Directorate. But the Directorate rejected the proposal
saying that provision of in-house training and joining thereafter was permitted
only for two years relaxing the rule, and it could not be extended any more. At
present, PVR is a pre-condition of induction training in Postal Training
Centers (PTCs) and joining will follow after that. This is going to cause
inordinate delay. There is also a possibility that if the PV Reports come early
for some candidates from the bottom of the merit list, they would avail the
training first and would be senior to the toppers.
This Circle Union has
also cited that in North Bengal Region, an in-house training for candidates of
2011-12 has already been started and so, it should be allowed in all other regions
of West Bengal Circle. But due to the rejection of the Directorate, the Chief
Postmaster General has expressed his handicap and has requested us to approach
the Directorate through the All India Union.
Thus, the present
situation is ---- despite having huge vacancy and workload on the existing
staffs in one side and a good number of capable, willing and successful
candidates on the other, our Circle is losing their service and they are losing
their seniority. They are in severe anxiety and mental strain. The irrational
rigidity of the Postal Administration has become the bone of contention and
pain for all. Under such constraints, we would like to channelize the sentiment
of all the selected candidates in West Bengal Circle and request you to please
take up the issue with the Directorate immediately for allowing the relaxation
of the PVR condition this year due to announcement of the election, so that the
department can get the service of the new P.A.s at the earliest. As the largest
organisation in the department and also as most of the new P.As are with us in
this Circle, we need to redress this issue with priority. Therefore, we are
sincerely requesting your special attention.
With greetings,
Comradely yours,
Janardan
Majumder
Circle Secretary

Resolution
NFPE Group of Unions
Barasat Division
Barasat, Kolkata-124
Resolution dated
07.03.2014
This
demonstration of NFPE Group of Unions, Barasat Divn takes a grave note of
incidents of trade union victimization in different divisions in West Bengal
Circle and resolves to place the following demands before the administration.
v Stop trade union
victimization in Kolkata GPO and North Presidency Division. In Kolkata GPO,
orders have been issued of dismissal from service against Sri Shankar Ghosh,
former Secretary, P-IV union and Rule-37 transfers against present Group-C Secretary
Sri Sambhu Chakraborty and former Group-C President Sri Samir Chakraborty.
Orders of compulsory retirement have been issued in North Presidency Division.
The justice has been maligned in various ways in these places vitiating all
facts and justified arguments placed by our staff-members.
v Stop vindictive actions by
various divisional administrations like Tamluk, Coochbehar, North Hooghly,
Malda etc. In Tamluk, a demonstration was held on 26-points charter of demands
on 29.01.2014 observing all formalities which the Divl Supdt preferred to
ignore. Being pressurized by higher administration, though he sat with our Divisional
unions on 07.02.2014, he did not settle even a single issue on the plea of all
issues are administrative ones. Thereafter, he started various ill actions to
harass our leaders and members for observing the demonstration. In Coochbehar
and North Hooghly divisions, Divisional Supdts have practically behaving like
the spokesman of FNPO and attacking our members. In Malda Divn, there are
specific complaints of harassment filed by few female staffs against the
ASPOs(HQ), but there is no response from the C.O.
The above
incidents are only illustrative to represent a scenario of exhaustive bias,
nepotism and injustice specifically against our staff-members in many divisions
in this circle. This demonstration expresses and communicates strong resentment
and objection against such victimization and intentional attacks on our members
and demands immediate effective intervention of the Circle level administration
to avoid series of circle wide trade union action with severe intensity.
