A comparative report of Central Government Employees and Bank Employees salary…
 
 
 
A popular website of www.allbankingsolutions.com is published an article about a comparison of getting salary between Central Government Employees and Bank Staff…

We are publishing below some comparative charts on the eve of forthcoming negotiations betweenUFBU and IBA which are reported to be held on 12th August, 2013.   Union leaders are shy to discuss such charts as these tables expose the capabilities of such leaders to get an honourable settlement for the bankers.   These charts have not been prepared by me but are sent to us by one of readers (V Subramanian) who has time and again taken keen interest in putting the truthful facts before the bankers.   We give below two charts for perusal by bankers and for drawing their own conclusions :-

Note:
1.   As regards Education Allowance, Staff Welfare/Maintenance Expenses and Newspaper subscription paid to
 bank staff, the average prevailing at the industry level has been taken into account, to have a fair andreasonable comparison.

2.   In some banks, cost of 15 litres of petrol is reimbursed as ‘Conveyance Allowance’ to award staff, besides the above.  At the present prices, this will be Rs.1,100 extra.

3.   If we compare the limited working hours a day and 5 day week for the central government staff, bank staff  need to be paid additional amount of compensation for the extra hours worked (15% more than the central government staff).

4.   The volume and varieties of work handled by a bank staff are beyond comparison.

5.   If someone moots the topic of concessional loans for bank staff, ask them to consider these points so far as the bank employees are concerned:
(a)  There is
 no tax liability on the perquisites paid to the government staff.
(b) Number of transfers of a government staff is far less compared to his counterpart in a
 bank.
(c)  If the amount of risks and responsibilities is any criterion,
 the bank employees (other than officers) must be paid not less than 150% of the salaries paid to the central government staff.
(d) Central government staff enjoy stagnation-free running scale, throughout their career.
(e)  Whenever the
 pay scales of central government staff are revised, their pension also undergoes automatic revision, for all types of pensioners.

6.     If we look at the statistics given above, clerical staff working in banks are the worst affected.

7.     In fact, a clerk in Central Government service earns a monthly salary of Rs.33,920, whereas the monthly salary of JMGS I officers in a bank is Rs.32,471 (both at the beginning of the scale).  This is the mother of all injustice.

Regularisation of Casual Labourers



BETTER LATE, THAN NEVER!!
AT LAST DEPARTMENT OF POSTS AND MINISTRY OF COMMUNICATIONS  ADMITTED THAT McKENSEY
MODEL (MNOP) L1, L2
IS A TOTAL FAILURE
ORDERS ISSUED TO RESTORE THE OLD POSITION
NAME REMAINS (L1, L2) BUT THE SCHEME STANDS SCRAPED
THE STAND TAKEN BY THE JCA (NFPE & FNPO)
FROM THE VERY BEGINNING HAS BEEN PROVED RIGHT.
IT IS A VICTORY FOR OUR CONTINUOUS CAMPAIGN AND STRUGGLES INCLUDING THE DECISION FOR INDEFINITE STRIKE WHICH COMPELLED THE DEPARTMENT TO GIVE AN ASSURANCE THAT NO RMS OFFICES WILL BE CLOSED.
NFPE CONGRATULATES THE ENTIRE POSTAL AND RMS
EMPLOYEES FOR THIS VICTORY.
Now the question to be answered by the authorities are:
1.     Who is responsible for the delay caused to the public mails due to back-routing for the last two years?
2.     Who is responsible for the loss of public faith and trust in the Postal department due to heavy delay caused due to L1, L2 in processing and transmission of public mails?
3.     Who is responsible for paying an amount of more than 100 crores to be Mckensey Consultancy for this anti-people, anti-worker, “Tuglak Model” reforms?
4.     Who are those behind this shady deal with the Mckensy consultancy?  Why are they not taken to task?

Sl. No.
Agenda Item
Decisions taken
1.
Postmen Committee Recommendation not Implemented

(a)
Extraction of data entry work from Postman:Suitable instructions / Orders to all the Circles are to be issued by 30/04/2012; nothing has been done so far.  An early issue of orders is required to implement them.
Heads of Circles have been requested to impart training to the postmen who are unable to perform data entry work on computers.  It has been agreed to accord time factor for data entry work using same norms presently used for calculating work- load of Postal Assistant, in case work is being done by postman.
(b)
Revision of postmen norms: Postmen norms issued by the Department are very old.  The decision taken in the committee are not convincing.  As such it is suggested that formation of fresh Internal Work Study Unit with one / two staff side members to review all work performed by postmen staff with door to door measurement of beats was requested.  Internal Work Study Unit for this job is to be ordered by the Directorate as the same does not come under the jurisdiction of the Committee.
The norms were formulated after intensive scientific work study by the IWSU of the Department in 2008.  Since five years have already  elapsed, a study by departmental officials or by a third party may be conducted to review the postmen’s norms keeping in view that IWS Unit no longer exists.
(c)
Change in procedure for payment of Speed Post delivery incentive: At present the procedure for payment of incentive is very lengthy.  Nobody prepares bills.  In case the bills are prepared they remain under verification of PRI/SDI/ASP then go to sanction to the Divisional Head.  After sanction of bills from Divisional Head to DDOs for payment.   Then bills are to be prepared DDOs for payment office wise.  It is suggested that module for payment of Speed Post Incentive in the computer software be installed and give powers of payment to the concerned postmaster on weekly/ monthly.  After payment the concerned vouchers be sent to the DDOs for accounting purpose.
The software for generation of Postman incentive bills is being developed by the CSI partner under the IT Project. Meanwhile it has been decided to issue instructions to all circles that incentive bills may be cleared on monthly basis till the software is developed.
(d)
Combination of beat:  It was decided in the above meeting that limit of combination of beat in the post office having 4+ strength will be removed since it adversely affects the delivery efficiency.  But orders on this item are yet to be issued by the Directorate.  This needs to be done at the earliest.
Staff side was informed that orders have already been issued in this regard.  A photocopy of the order No.10-7/2001-P.E.II dated 02/09/2006 is enclosed for needful.
(e)
Delivery of Heavy parcels and EPP articles: It was pointed out by the staff side that Postman faces difficulty in delivery of registered parcels weighing more than 5 Kgs each and EPP articles of which the maximum weight of 35 Kgms., per articles has been fixed.  It was highlighted that either some reasonable rate and mode of conveyance for delivery EPP articles should be fixed or the rates of coolie charges fixed in the past should be revised for efficient delivery of the registered parcel.  It was decided that the Directorate will consider reiterating the instructions on coolie charges to all the Circles so that the delivery of heavy parcels is not adversely affected.  Whether coolie charges pertaining to heavy parcels have been enhances due to high prices.  As regards EPP parcels, whether mode of conveyance with rate of each mode have been decided by the Directorate.
Staff side was informed that New Parcel Division is examining this issue.  The proposal to revise the coolie charges will also be examined by the Parcel Division.
(f)
Corrigendum on density of population:  The staff side drew attention of the committee to the note of Sl.8 in the Directorate letter No.9-1/2005-WSI/PE.I dated 05/02/2010 which stipulates that area having a density of population 2500 per Sq. KM may be taken as congested area “and pointed out that the same has incorrectly been printed as it should refer to 2500 per sq. Mile instead of 2500 per sq. kilometer.  They quoted a clarification received from PTC, Mytore which has cited Directorate letter dated 19/02/1976 indicating establishment norms for Postmen and defining congested area or having a density of population of 2500 sq. per Mile.  After discussion it was agreed that Directorate would examine and issue suitable amendment / corrigendum to the Note 8 of the revised norms of postmen establishment.
The staff side was informed that there  is no typographical error.  The definition of the congested area as 2500 per square kms. is correct.  
(g)
Creating of justified additional posts:  In this connection while implementing the system for delivery work and allowing postmen to write correct remarks for non-delivery.  The staff side drew attention to item No. 25 minutes of the last JCM meeting issued on 01/03/2012 wherein it is mentioned that the issue is under examination by the Postman Committee being chaired by CGM (PLI).  After discussion, the view emerged that this item is not part of Committee’s mandate and the issue pertains to creation / re-deployment of Posts which is basically a policy issue.  However, the staff side mentioned that Postmen were not able to write correct remarks for non-delivery of article due to heavy work in the project Arrow Offices, it was, therefore, decided that the experience gathered after implementation of Project Arrow in various Post Offices could be examined.  Result on examination has not been communicated so far in this regard.
Circles have been requested to review the Post Office Establishments.  On receipt of reports from all the Circles, the justification, if any, of the additional posts will be examined in consultation with Ministry of Finance.
2.
Cadre Restructuring of Postman an MTS: The first and foremost issue on which a bias against the Postman is clearly visible is that of cadre restructuring for this cadre.  The Department through conceded to form a Cadre Restructuring Committee during the strike negotiations with the Postal Joint Council of Action had issued orders omitting the cadre of Postman and MTS from the ambit of cadre restructuring.  This shows the mind-set of the Department on the important issue of cadre restructuring of Postman and MTS cadre.  The stand of the Postal Directorate was against the direction of the Official Side in the National Anomaly Committee that every department shall go into the issue of cadre restructuring for boosting the promotional avenues of employees rather than depending too much on the MACP Scheme for that purpose.  It is a known fact that the cadres of Postman and MTS have no in-situ promotion in their cadre except the promotion to the cadre of Postal Assistant through a competitive examination.  Every other cadre other than the cadres of Postman and MTS have their own hierarchical promotions in their own cadre and this discrimination cannot be ended without a proper cadre restructuring in place for the Postman and MTS cadre.  Even the flimsy promotion for the cadre of Postman earlier to the introduction of TBOP / BCR like Head Postman, sorting Postman etc., have disappeared from the scene and as on date no promotion in the cadre is available to both these cadres.  Unfortunately, the Department of Posts not only  not in a position to appreciate our contention as well as the proposal for cadre restructuring based on percentage basis as available to all cadres in the Department of Railways but no inclined to consider any cadre restructuring proposal to these cadres.  The absence of any promotion to them in their own cadre leaves them total frustrated and takes away any incentive to perform better to the services.  This has to be properly appreciated and attended to by the Postal Directorate in the absence of Cadre Restructuring Committee failed to find out any alternate proposals to ‘our proposal based on percentage.’
Cadre Restructuring Committee headed by the then DDG (P), Shri Salim Haque had been given this mandate and issue will be decided after finalization of the Committee report.
3. (A)
Door to Door Scientific Measurement of Beats: (A) – At present the door to door beat measurement system adopted by the department is not only unsatisfactory but also incorrect one as neither scientific device like foot meter nor cyclo meter is used to assess the actual length of beat.  The measurement of beats is generally done while sitting on the table by guess work only.  Moreover the workload of mail delivery and number of houses to be visited during duty of eight hours has no where been laid down causing extreme  harassment to postmen  staff.  It is demanded that the number of houses to be visited and number of articles to be delivered should be laid down in the interest of delivery efficiency and rationalization of workload of postmen staff as well.

The Directorate ordered for rationalizing of Postman beats after hearing our complaints that Postman beats are constructed unscientifically with long distances humanly impossible to cover on a day.  Many examples like more than 70 kilometers beats were brought to the notice of the Postman Committee to substantiate our complaints.  Based on the discussions the Directorate agreed to issue orders for measuring the beats and rationalizing them appropriately.  Unfortunately the CHQs of our Unions are receiving complaints from our Circles that re-measuring of beats is being done most unscientifically without using either the cyclo-meters or foot-meters but applying their imaginary calculations.  This has complicated the problem more and there is wide spread resentment among the Postman staff.  Both our unions urge upon you to issue strict instructions to measure all Postman beats only by using cyclo-meters or foot-meters for the purpose of rationalizing the beats.
Same as 1 (b) above.
(B)
To fix the meeting of Committee for Modification in Order No. 31-38/79-PE-I dt. 22-5-1979:- The Committee Constituted for examination of Modification in Departmental Order No. 31-38/79-PE-I dt. 23-5-1979 in R/O footwork of the Postman from door to door walk in R/O Item DO 4 of Periodical Meeting held on 29-11-2012 and Departmental Council Meeting on 28-12-2012.

As in 1 (b) above.
4. (A)


(B)
Revision of Syllabus to Departmental Examinations

Request to conduct special examination for recruitment to the Postman & MTS cadres for the years 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 : To avoid recurring vacancies due to leaving of qualified employees of high standard in the background of submission made above, it is requested that –
1. To fill up the vacancies for the years 2009 to 2013 in the Postman and MTS cadre aspecial examination only for GDS/MTS employees may be conducted.
2. The question paper may be set on the basis of practical and relevant work routinely done by the regular MTS and Postman employees.
3. The work of setting question paper may be got done by a promotee officerwho is having practical knowledge of the nature of work being done by the MTS and Postman employees.

A committee has been constituted under chairmanship of DDG (R&P) to examine the contents of question papers set by various circles with reference to syllabus prescribed and submit a detailed report. 

.
(C)
Filling up vacant posts with Residual vacancies:- All vacant post of Postmen & Group D/MTS should be filled in within 30th June 2013 as directed by Directorate. There is no chance to fill up vacant posts in due time as no notification has been issued in many circles like A.P. and Assam Circle etc.
Necessary action has been initiated in circles.  It was decided that the orders to fill up the vacant posts will be reiterated to the circles.
5.
Improving the Quality of Uniforms and timely supply of all kit items:-The Postman and MTS are called the uniformed staff in the Department of Posts. Unfortunately these cadres who are actually moving among the members of public pose a poor picture to the image of the Department because of the inferior quality of the uniform cloth. Despite the agreement with the All India Unions by the Department that facilitated inclusion of staff side member from the Unions in the purchase committee of uniform cloth to ensure purchase of better quality of cloth,, the problem persists. This cannot be sorted out unless the cost price permitted by the DOPT is enhanced on the face of escalating prices of all commodities including the textiles. The cost price permitted by the DOPT cannot ensure better quality uniform cloth from the market. Added to this are the violations here and there in Circles where the Administration is not sincerely ensuring inclusion of staff side members in the purchase committee and no protection against ensuring supply of the selected quality of cloth only to the staff. These have to be addressed immediately.

This item will be discussed in the JCM Standing Committee meeting to be held on 23/08/2013.
6.
Stop Unscientific Measurement of Postmen Beats:
The Directorate ordered for rationalizing of Postman beats after hearing our complaints that Postman beats are constructed unscientifically with long distances humanly impossible to cover on a day. Many examples like more than 70 Kilometres beats were brought to the notice of the Postman Committee to substantiate our complaints. Based on the discussions the Directorate agreed to issue orders for measuring the beats and rationalizing them appropriately. Unfortunately the CHQs of our Unions are receiving complaints from our Circles that re-measuring of beats is being done most unscientifically without using either the cyclo-meters or foot-meters but applying their imaginary calculations. This has complicated the problem more and there is widespread resentment among the Postman staff. Both our Unions urge upon you to issue strict instructions to measure all Postman beats only by using cyclo-meters or foot-meters for the purpose of rationalizing the beats.
Same as 1 (b) above.
7.
Cycle Maintenance Allowance to MTS:-The Cycle Maintenance Allowance is paid to all Postman staff without any conditions whereas the MTS Staff who are engaged in letter box clearing or other outside office work  excluded from the ambit of CMA. This is unjustified. The MTS Staff also are to be paid CMA without any conditions as like Postman staff. Both our Unions urge upon you to issue necessary orders to pay CMA to all MTS without any conditions.

The Postman’s duty involves daily visit to deliver  letters in his beat and hence if he is using cycle the allowance is admissible.  Since different persons, depending on availability of persons, are used for letter box clearances, the allowance cannot be given to any specific official.  Further, in many Post Offices one or two bicycles are generally kept.  That can be used for clearing Letter Boxes. The proposal that MTS staff be paid CMA without any condition like Postman staff is thus not acceptable.
(a)
Revision of Fixed Monetary Compensation (FMC):-This has reference to your office  letter No 10-7/2003.P.E.II dated 24th Nov 2010 whereinexisting rate on revision has been enhanced for each category except Multi Tasking staff whose rate of remuneration has been reduced @ Rs 60/- per holiday for 4 hours whereas MTS staff was getting  @ Rs63.45 per holiday for 3 hrs on hourly basis @ Rs 21.15 per hour. Protracted correspondence made proved in fructuous. This need to be reviewed for proper justice to the MTS staff.

The staff side was informed that the matter is under examination in consultation with IFW.
8.
Abolition of Nodal Delivery Centers at all metro cities:-All Nodal delivery centers should be abolished throughout the Country immediately to avoid complication in day-to-day delivery system. (Example–West Bengal Circle, Karnataka Circle, Bangalore, Maharashtra Circle Mumbai GPO).

The staff side was asked to furnish the specific cases with details of the complications due to creation of Nodal Delivery Centres.  Department’s view is that Nodal Delivery is functioning smoothly in such centres.
9.
To Stop harassment:-The postman staff being tortured for 100% delivery and in various cases by asking them to work beyond duty hours and many other ways harassment is there it must be stopped.
Staff side was asked to furnish specific cases so that this could be taken up with respective circles.
10.
Promotional posts of Postmen Cadre: The posts of Mail Overseer, Cash Overseer, Head Postman and Sorting Postman should be considered as promotional posts for Postmen cadre and an additional increment or some allowance should be granted for performance duties on such posts. Seniority criteria of postmen should be taken in view while deploying on these posts.
This item will be discussed in a meeting decided to be held under the chairmanship                                             of Member (P).

            At the end, Director (SR) appealed to the unions to withdraw the proposed Dharana on 20/08/2013 and indefinite strike from 16th September, 2013. 
            Meeting ended with vote of thanks to the chair.



ODISHA CIRCLE CASUAL, PART-TIME, CONTINGENT & CONTRACT WORKERS UNION FORMED.


                As per the decisions taken in the 9th Federal Council of NFPE, the first State Level Convention of All India Postal Casual, Part-time, Contingent & Contract Workers Federation(AIPCPCCWF) was  organized  successfully in the Recreation Club of CGMT, Bhubaneswar on 11.08.2013 under the president-ship of Com. R C Mishra, Circle Secretary, AIPEU, Group-C, Odisha & Vice-President, CHQ.

            At the outset, the cause and importance of forming AIPCPCCWF was briefed by Com. R N Dhal, General Secretary, State CoC, NFPE & Circle Secretary, R – III along with the role of NFPE in working for the cause of such workers. He briefed the gathering the rules and regulations framed by Govt. of India for the welfare of the casual workers and expressed concern over the misinterpretation and incorrect implementation of such rulings by the administration to deprive the benefits to such workers and stressed that the proposed AIPCPCCWF will be the proper forum for negotiation of all the issues of the casual workers with the Government/ Department.

            The meeting was inaugurated by Com. P Mohan, General Secretary, AIPCPCCWF who narrated the position of casual workers in different circles and the importance of forming AIPCPCCWF. No other Federation, except NFPE is thinking for such downtrodden workers – He said. Once this union is formed in each Circle and Division, it will certainly strengthen the moral courage of such exploited workers all over India and NFPE will take every effort to redress their grievances.

            Addressing the Convention as Chief Guest, Com. Y Nagbhusanam, Working President, AIPCPCCWF, CHQ clearly explained the history behind formation of this union and the role of the then NFPTE and now NFPE for the cause of the casual workers. He described the steps to be taken with the help of NFPE unions in all Circle and Divisional level for initial formation of casual workers’ union. He suggested the present NFPE unions’ leadership at all levels to obtain the information from the Division/Circle heads on casual workers under RTI Act, 2005  which will ease the way for smooth enrollment.

            Bhubaneswar Division was attended by all its Divisional Secretaries namely, Com. Bruhaspati Samal, Secy, AIPEU, Gr.-C, Com. Sudhir Kumar Swain, Secy., AIPEU, Postman & MTS and Com. Ghanshyama Panda, Secy, AIPEU GDS ( NFPE ) along with other representatives. Addressing the convention, Com. B Samal brought into light the technical difficulties now prevailing in Bhubaneswar Division in particular and in other Divisions of Odisha Circle in general to enroll such casual workers under the proposed AIPCPCCWF who are though working in almost all the post offices but without any valid appointment and thus having no name and signature anywhere in office records. Most of them are contingent paid workers like water carriers, scavengers, sweepers or care-takers who are being paid through the concerned Postmasters. The admissible contingent amount is being drawn in favour of the Postmasters of respective offices and the amount is being paid without any record. Though these workers have played a major role in the present transformation of India Post under “look & feel good” concept, they are seriously exploited by the administration. While they are working for more than 8 hours, their payments through the Postmasters are restricted to a few hours only. In most of the cases, especially the care-takers are working through out the clock but without any proportionate payment. Com. Samal requested the CHQ leadership of AIPCPCCWF to find out ways and means how to enroll the names of such workers first in the official records so that the proposed forum will function effectively.

            Amongst others, the following leaders also addressed the convention.

1.    Com. Kishore Biswal, CS, AIPPPEU
2.    Com. Debabrat Mohanty, CS, P-IV
3.    Com. HK Mohanty, CS, R-IV
4.    Com. Nirmal Singh, CS, AIPEU GDS ( NFPE )
5.    Com. Bishnu Das, Secy, AIPEU, Gr.-C, Cuttack City Division

6.    Com. S Mishra, Secy, AIPEU, Gr.-C, Mayurbhanj Division
