AIC PUNE


SUSTAINED STRUGGLE ALONE WILL SAVE US!!


The historic AIC at Alandi,Pune from  09th jan 2011 - 11th jan 2011 discussed all issues pertaining to the postal employees.The impact of modernisation,career avenues and the importance of persistant struggle against the onslaughts of liberalisation ,privatisation and globalisation by the working class were the main arenas of discussion. The    general 
secrertary intiated the discussion after presenting the report. Hundereds of delegates particpated in the deliberations seeking new ways for the betterment of us in the years to come. MACP, Postmasters cadre, cadre reorganisation- all issues were throughly discussed in detail.


Com .Sitaram Yechury ,MP inaugurated the 28th AIC.
Shri .Gurudas Kamat ,minister of state for communications was the guest of honour.


Com. Yechuri`s inaugural speech was splendid indeed.


Excerpts from his speech: 


India post is a vibrant entity.The public need is most important.Modernisation is good. But it should not be at the expense of the people. It should not displace employees. It should not privatise  property.It should not nationalise losses.It should not lead the present PPP to absolute privatisation.
              Why India was not destroyed by the global recession? -It was because of the struggle carried out  by the left  against the Banking reforms,increasing FDI ininsurance sector,privatisation of pension funds and full convertbility of Indian Ruppee."The communist devils"  thus prevented the country from an impending devastation. 
            Western countries gave trillians to companies who were responsible for the crisis to bail out the corporates.The countries then attacked the working class .There were elevengeneral strikes in Greece .Three crore people came to the streets protesting.The bankrupt countries like Ireland ,Iceland ,Greece ,Spain,Portugal attacked the working class.At the same time,subsidy to the tune of two lakh crore is given to the rich.
        As per  Sengupta report,77% of Indians survive from wages lessthan RS.20 per day.


Is our India a shining India or a suffering India? 


Gambhir is sold for 11.34 crores.


Two Indias are there: one IPL India and the other BPL India


The Govt. is imposing physical discipline.It reduces expenditure.It reduces budgetary allocation of Postal dept.It insists on outsourcing.The amount of corruptions is equal or more for building infrastructure and generate employment. Aaam aadmi should be like that.
For primary education we require 30 lakh crore.For food security we need 85000 crores. 1.76 lakh crores was the spectrum scam. The amount was enough for two years food security. Proper tax collection is not done. Keeping in mind all these facts, you, the postal employees of the country should join the main streamof indian working class.


Com .M.Krishnan , president presided. 


Coms.K.K.N.Kutty.C.C.Pillai,K.Raghaendran,K.V.SreedharanSS.Mahadevaiah,Appanraj,B.G.tamagkar iswar Singh Dabbas etc. spoke. 
924delegates and 842 registered visitors along with many others attended the conference .The all the time crowded hall was a proof for the faith of the postal staff in our mighty organisation.

server problems -palakkad division

From

Divisional Secretary

Palakkad Division

To
Circle secretary

Comrade,


Sub: Server related problems at Palakkad

This is regarding the poor server management procedure being in force under our region in general and division in particular. At present the following different brands of servers are used in offices :
1. Wipro
2. H C L
3. H P
The above servers are very old, and not capable of meeting the present requirements . The initial warranty of these servers have already been expired and now these are running on AMC. The AMC of Wipro server systems is now entrusted to M/s Nortec Calicut, recently. HCL/HP servers systems which have hitherto been serviced by M/S HCL Calicut is reported to be out of AMC since 30.10.2010 when contacted over Phone. It is observed that the services and promptness in attending calls by the AMC Firms are very poor and following instances are quoted below for your immediate intervention.
1. Alathur MBR : On 10.05.2010,Wipro Server Motherboard call was logged and Warranty firms (M/S Wipro ) took 8 days to rectify the problem on 18.05.2010. During these days the project arrow DET could not be transmitted inviting adverse comments of the Directorate on V.C
2. Olavakode HPO: Wipro Server went faulty on 28.09.2010 and the call was logged on the same day with M/S Nortec Calicut . The raid controller card inside CPU was reported to be faulty and no compatible device is reportedly available in the local market to replace the defective one. Many a times the firm sent service executive to Olavakkot HPO and still the problem remains unsettled even after two months, despite initiatives from our side.
3. Palakkad HPO: The HP Server is faulty and the case was reported to M/S HCL on 23.11.2010. Now it is reported that the server is out of AMC when contacted the firm over phone.
4. It took about 15 days to rectify the HCL server at Nemmara MDG by the AMC firm and the up keep process of HCL Server of Tattamangalam was also delayed.

Comrade, a high-end server with latest configuration need to be supplied at least in the three HOs of this division. A standard is to be observed while giving AMC for server systems .At least the server systems are to be excluded from the process of going through competitive quotations and the concerned server makers are only to be given AMC invariably. If we go for AMC considering the lowest rates, it is observed that the firms are not capable of undertaking Services to the complex internal dynamics existing inside the Servers. From our past experiences, it is also learnt that the Server spares if requires replacement may not be available with other firms, and they are lack in knowledge of complex architecture of Servers. As this process is initiated at RO, follow up process of all server cases should also be expedited from there itself.
Your immediate intervention to the problems raised as above is highly solicited.
With regards..
Palakkad: Sd/=
29.11.2010. Divisional Secretary.

prepare for indefinite strike

---ഭാരതീയ പോസ്റ്റ്‌ ----JULY 2010
എഡിറ്റോറിയല്‍
SAVE POSTAL & ITS WORKERS

The Clarian Call has given to go for indefinite strike from 13.07.2010 to resist the policy offensives, anti worker policies, total unilateralism and non consultation of Staff Side even on staff matters, non filling up of vacant posts, non consideration of cadre reviews etc. Our sincere, continuous persuasions through dialogue to mitigate the issues confronting the Postal workers are taken as no relevance and construed as our weakness. We have been forced to launch this indefinite strike programme to save Postal, RMS and also the staff from the exploitation and policy offensives of the Govt.
History and events have proved in the past that the desire of neglecting the union and collective bargaining and exert total authority and unilateralism do not succeed. Trade Unions have a hoary history ever before the May Day and the martyrs of Chicago. It came into existence against all odds, have sustained all offensives and have succeeded in ensuring that workers never relent or retreat in spite of ruthless repression.
In the name of Project Arrow, the employees at grass root level are being tortured, exploited even beyond imagination. The efficiency in service can be arrived only by providing adequate man power and simplifying the procedures. Many new business and tie ups are introduced but withdrawn subsequently. The withdrawal of Flight services for carrying mails is the testimony about the faulty decision resulting loss to the department for which no contributory negligence provisions are available against the decision taken authorities. It is only to the employees working at the base. Even for bonus drawal to GDS, the same higher ups are causing orders to recover from the DDOs & SPOs in case of over drawal.
The buildings already renovated under earlier schemes are now brought under the Project Arrow. Lakhs of rupees are being spent and swindled. The funds allotted for staff quarters are being utilized by the circle heads to beautify their quarters. Many Chief PMGs are misusing the funds allotments resulting with no maintenance work to the staff quarters. Many of them have never seen colour washing over years.
It is evident that the huge costs of the services are primarily due to the faults of the management. However the blame is conveniently shifted to the shoulders of the employees and they are squeezed to enforce economy by orders of banning creation of posts, justified denial of overtime, incentive, denial of due promotions and officiating pay, abolition of section, sorting offices in RMS, curtailment of delivery, closure of post offices etc. Savings at the cost of the employees and squandering colossal amount by the faulty management is the order of the day. As responsible trade union, we must resist this kind of policy offensives unleashed by the authorities.
The 13th July 2010 strike is aiming not only to wrest our demands like filling up of posts, cadre review etc but also against the policy offensives like closure of Pos, privatization of Postal Services, closure of RMS offices etc.
The Nail must be hit on the head not at the bottom end. By showing our full strength with full mobilization, we can resist such moves of the department and save the Postal Service as Public service. The pertinent question before us is nothing other than the following.
Are we being driven to the brink or to the wall?
Have we not reached the end of the Tether?
Has the last straw been loaded on the camel?
Shall we not rise like a Tempest, Tidal wave or Tornado?
To wrest our just demands and fundamental rights and honorable too.
Let us organize the 13th July Strike with full vigor, determination and make it a grant success to save the Postal and its workers.
