DO NOT ALLOW HISTORY TO REPEAT

We have been commonly informing our members about our viewpoint on different issues concerning our cadre and take up issue after thorough screening. Still some of our members are not happy to our decisions. One ASP from Tamil Nadu is not accepting the idea of doing away the PS Group “B” exam. Other anonymous from same state is correctly questioning the level of paper. See next anonymous who is against the examination system and correctly said, “What is the use of examination---------”. I do not think that the IP/ASP who are in favour of the exam and who are against it had even read the letter submitted to Director (Estt & DE) thoroughly. If our GS at one point is against PS Group “B” exam, on the other hand he has advocated the exam system for Sr. Postmaster. Do not take association otherwise and trust it, as at least we all are your representative. I know members have the right to point out the fault of leaders but they should understand that association strives for establishing better working conditions and pay parity to our members. Our nuisance value is almost a cipher and we can simply create issue for an employer that too while trying to live within the parameters of a collective bargaining agreement. Members can attempt to undermine employer authority through intimidation tactics and demand legally binding arbitration when our demands are not met. In Bangalore, All India Conference case of merger of IP/ASP was discussed in depth but it was decided not to merger the cadres. Respecting the decision of the house, directorate was informed accordingly. Now see the result - In spite of having CAT verdict in our favour, IPs are not getting GP. Today again, I am saying that there is no harm to accept merger, subject to the condition that IPs get promotion after a span of 10-12 years from the present 24-25 years and IPs get parity with CBDT/CBEC.
I am atleast happy with last twitter who asked to put all our energy on GP issue which is also a need of the hour. This particular anomaly has arisen only due to upgradation of GP of Inspectors in CBDT/CBEC subsequent to the implementation of the recommendation of 6th pay commission. This type of upgradation happened in 5th pay commission also and our case at the last movement was referred to 6th pay commission. Now it is the foremost duty of Association not to allow the history to repeat itself. Punjab Circle will take up this issue with GS asking him to issue a letter immediately on this count.

It was an individual IP and not the association (and he was even not a member of the association) who moved in the CAT on GP issue and came out victorious. Why the association did not take such step timely? Why association is waiting now as the department has not complied with the orders of the CAT pronounced in the October 2011?

Sir
Kindly confirm the news that GP upgradation issue is considered and rejected at Finance Secy level

Dear GS,
Please intimate one strong reason for doing away the PS Gp Exam. Is the GS want all the IPs to wait for 20-24 years to become an SP even when he is more intelligent???? Sr PM is not equivalent to Supdt and don't console us that you can become a Gp B officer by appearing in the LDCE for Sr PM.
ASP from Tamilnadu

Sir,
Well said, this is the time to chanellize our sources and resources for the settlement of GP issue on priority and without any further fail. Rest of the issues can be sorted out turn by turn. GP is the major issue, that need to be redressed without any further delay.
