1. Date of effect as 01.01.2014

Com.Unnikrishnan Chazhiyad , President, Confederation dt Committee, while welcoming the gathring , stressed the importance of mounting the pressure by the working class on the Government for their legitimate demands.

Com.Madhusudhanan  Convenor, LCC, presided over the function.

Com. Vijayakumar, Circle Vice President, AIPEU Group C (NFPE) while inaugurating the demonstration, articulated the Central Govt's predicament of announcing 7th CPC. It was due to the relentless demands and struggles put forth by us , and not due to any populist measure in view of the impending elections to the state legislatures as orchestrated by the media, Central Govt announced this 7th CPC. But still,  our demands are on the midway. Only the continued struggles will yield justice for central govt. workers.

Com.V.Murugan,  President, AIPEU GDS (NFPE), expressed gratitude.

The SSPOs

Palakkad 678001

Sir,

The following items may please be discussed in the monthly meeting to be held on January 2014

1. Delay in sanctioning medical reimbursement bills.

Bills are long pending. Action may be taken to clear it immediately.

2. Dequarterisation of Ayalur PO.

Quarter’s portion of the building is highly dilapidated and inconvenient to use. Action may take to de-quartarise.

3. Negative attitude in APAR reporting.

The methodology adopted to evaluate the output of employees is unscientific and created frustration and demoralization in the mind of employees. Request to take a fair and transparent attitude in the changed scenario.

Yours truly

PALAKKAD DIVISION, PALAKKAD 678001

P3/Dlg  dt 23/12/13

To

The Senior Superintendent of Post Offices,

Palakkad 678001

Sir,

The Annual Performance appraisal Reports (APAR) for the period 01.04.12 to 31.03.2013 are received by the employees on 18.12.13. We are receiving widespread complaints from staff side regarding the dismal numerical grading awarded to them in the APAR. We have really taken a back to know the serious lapses in the area of employee assessment. We have made the following observations  on the effort put forth in the maintenance and preparations of APAR.

   1.   In the DOPT OM No.21011/1/2005-Estt(A) (Pt-II) dated 14.05.2009 a  Supreme court judgement was quoted as reference in which,  the objective  of writing the confidential report and making the entries was stated to give an opportunity for the public servant to improve his/her  performance.

But you have used the APAR to intimidate and demoralize a major section of employees by giving low marks compared to that given by your predecessors. This will only help in creating an antipathy towards work by the employees which is against the essence  of the relevant govt order cited above. 

    2.  In the Annexure –I of the same order, detailing the guidelines regarding filling up of APAR with numerical grading, it is clearly stated that the columns in the APAR should be filled with due care and attention after devoting adequate time.

It is seen that the exercise was carried out in a hasty ,irresponsible  and inadvertent manner by putting the numerical grades as 0.5 in all the attributes of the employee under Part III to arrive at an easy total of 5  to make the process easy. We understand that you have pooh- poohed all the DOPT orders in this regard and made the APAR maintenance a mere farce.

    3. It is really surprising to note that no mark was awarded to some employees, citing the reason that you have not seen them or have little knowledge about them !. In certain cases, you have furnished that you could not personally review the work of the official and hence no comments or marks. This is a grave mistake. The apathy in understanding your employees is a clear example of dereliction of duty.

    4.  The  inordinate delay in circulating the APAR for the period ending 31.03.2013 can not be justified .The time schedule prescribed in the Annexure III of DOPT OM No.21011/1/2005-Estt(A) (Pt-II) dated 23.07.2009   for various stages in preparation of APAR is not seen adhered to.

    5.  If the overall employee performance dipped at large during your stint  as divisional head,  comparing to the previous periods headed by others means, this alleged bad performance of the employees  is due to your worst performance in divisional administration . This procedure of your grading is your self declaration that your are incompetent to manage the division.

It is pertinent to understand that, the overall front running of this division is not because your personal dictatorial command as SSP, instead , due to the dedicated and sincere effort of all including the poor GDS employees. All your efforts to belittle the dedication, love and sincerity of our employees towards the development of this department, will not be tolerated by us any more.

Therefore we urge you to take an immediate remedial steps in this regard to boost the morale and dignity  of the employees , who are dejected at present .We demand cancellation of all such  APARs  and the entire process is to be re initialized  to ensue the  unqualified support of the employees in all the new ventures including business procurement. 

yours faithfully,

Secretary,                                                 President

FIRST MILESTONE ON legal fight for GDS DEPARTMENTALISATION

Hon’ble Supreme Court of India has ordered the Delhi High Court to decide the prayer of NFPE & AIPEU-GDS (NFPE) in writ petition No. 1003 of 2013 to treat the three lakhs Gramin Dak Sevaks as civil servants for all purposes at par with other regular employees as per 1977 SC Judgment & to quash the GDS (Conduct & Engagement) Rules 2011.

            This is a Writ Petition  filed  under  Article  32  of  the      Constitution of India by the National Federation of  Postal Employees and All India Postal Employees Union GDS (NEPE).

2.         Having regard to the controversy raised in the  matter, we are satisfied that the grievance of the petitioners can be adequately considered by the High Court under Article 226 of the Constitution  of India.

3.         Since about three lakh persons serving as Extra Departmental Agents (Dak  Sevaks)  are  concerned  about  the subject matter and they are spread all over the country, we are satisfied that to avoid multiplicity of proceedings  in  different  High  Courts,  it would be appropriate that the matter is considered by one High Court.

4.         We, accordingly, transfer this Writ Petition to the Delhi High Court for consideration.

5.         The Registry shall transmit the record and  proceedings of  the Writ Petition to the Delhi High Court.
