During his period, he has done a lot to the downtrodden GDS employees of our Department.  His contribution towards the improvement of GDS employees is marvellous and ever rememberable.  He, a kind human being with a high quality of humanitarian values, has also helped other Postal employees also in many ways.

Remuneration to be paid to the Gramin Dak Sevaks engaged as Substitutes in short term vacancies of Postman / Mail Guard and MTS  

Meeting with Secretary, Department of Posts 

Meeting with Secretary, Department of Posts

Today ( 26.04.2017 )a team from FNPO/ NAPE Group C Sri D.Kishanrao, GS along with Asst. Secretary Generals Sri B.Shivakumar and Sri Sivaji Vasireddy met Sri BV Sudhakar, Secretary and Chairman Postal Board and discussed the following problems.

1.Cadre restructuring :

The NUPE, Group C already sought for modifications on 6.4.2017 for implementation of cadre restructuring. We opposed any deferment or abeyance of orders which will create frustration among the Group-c cadre. We also opposed the divisionalisation of LSG and HSG II. The base for the restructuring in Group-c is up gradation of C&B class offices which was approved by the nodal ministries and any deviation will affect the restructuring itself. There are no orders so far in regard to deferment or abeyance. It is the Secretary assured to settle the issues within 30 days.

2. The NAPE Group-c opposed the draft Revised Recruitment rules for AAO’s as per our letter dated 20.04.2017. Any modification to the RR will affect the cadre drastically.

3. On GDS issues two letters submitted for one time exemption of skill test for GDS who wrote PA examination in 2016.

4. It is also requested to allow the GDS employees to work as PA’s in the clear vacancies like MTS and Postman.

The response was positive.

It is also informed orders are under issue in regard to compassionate appointment of GDS without any point system and adding more dependents like widow daughter and married son.

Cadre Restructuring  & GDS Issues latest.

Today we discussed the matter with the officers in the Directorate.   According to our information, the Directorate is going to form a committee to review the order of cadre restructuring after obtaining the views of the Heads of Circle.  

FNPO & NAPE-C strongly feel that some modifications required in the present cadre restructuring order at the same time keeping the orders in abeyance will create the unnecessary delay to get the promotion of the staff.  We are seeking the appointment of Secretary today after meeting the Chairman, we will post the outcome of our discussion on our website. 

GDS issues 

GDS D. A order will be issued shortly, in regard to the implementation of GDS Committee recommendation formalities will take at least 3 months time.

Let us hope for the best.

Process and Latest development on Implementation of GDS Pay Committee Recommendations

The proposal of the implementation Committee is now being examined by the Joint Secretary & Financial Advisor (JS & FA) of the Postal Board. After JS & FA’s approval the proposal is to be approved by Secretary, Departmental of Posts. Then the file is to be submitted to the Minister, Communication for approval. Only after the approval of the Minister, Communications, the file will be submitted to Department of personnel & Training for approval and then the proposed is to be submitted to Finance Ministry and Law Ministry for approval. After completing all these process only the final proposal will be submitted to Cabinet for approval.

This it can be seen that much delay is taking place in implementation of the favourbale recommendations of the GDS Committee Report. Eventhough Secretary, Department of Posts has informed that Postal Board will take speedy action for implementation, many hurdles including Finance Ministry’s approval are to be crossed yet. 

Note : There is no timeline for implementation of GDS committee Report answer given by SHRI MANOJ SINHA Minister of communication in Loksabha

7th Pay Commission: Allowance Report In 'Ending' Stage, Committee members are busy in notes preparation

NDTV Profit News : The 7th pay commission had examined a total of 196 existing allowances and recommended abolition of 51 allowances and subsuming of 37 allowances.

The Ashok Lavasa committee examining 7th pay recommendations on allowances is in the final stage of preparing its report, which is likely to be submitted to the government soon, a top employee union official said. The allowance committee is in the process of preparing notes for it to be taken up by the government, he added. There has not been any official word on whether the allowance committee has been submitted. The government had earlier said that the decision on allowances will be taken after the committee on 7th pay commissionrecommendations submits its report. Earlier, another union official had attributed the delay in submission of the report to non-availability of allowance panel members. "I believe that there has been some delay in the finalisation of the report as some allowance panel members were outside the country on an official visit," the union official said.

The allowance committee had held a meeting in this regard on April 6 which some employee union officials termed as "conclusive". The 7th pay commission had examined a total of 196 existing allowances and recommended abolition of 51 allowances and subsuming of 37 allowances.

The 7th pay commission had recommended that house rent allowance or HRA be paid at the rate of 24 per cent, 16 per cent and 8 per cent of the new basic pay, depending on the type of city. The 7th pay commission had also recommended that the rate of HRA be revised to 27 per cent, 18 per cent and 9 per cent when DA crosses 50 per cent, and further revised to 30 per cent, 20 per cent and 10 per cent when DA crosses 100 per cent. With regard to allowances, employee unions have demanded HRA at the rate of 30 per cent, 20 per cent and 10 per cent.

At a meeting held on March 28, the allowance committee on 7th pay commission recommendations had sought comments from the ministries of defence, railways and posts on treatment of some allowances. The government had in June accepted the recommendation of Justice AK Mathur-headed Seventh Pay Commission in respect of the hike in basic pay and pension. But the 7th pay commission's recommendations relating to allowances were referred to the Ashok Lavasa committee.

Meanwhile, a delegation of faculty members of various universities had on April 19 approached the UGC seeking redressal of their demands including the request to make public a committee's report on the 7th pay commission. Union HRD Minister Prakash Javdekar had earlier said that a committee to review the recommendations made by a UGC panel on implementation of the 7th pay commission in educational institutions has been formed.

Historic pay increase for care workers in New Zealand

55,000 care workers in New Zealand, mainly women, are about to get one of the biggest pay rises ever thanks to the efforts of UNICARE affiliate E tū. The historic pay equity settlement contains pay increases of up to 42 per cent for care and support workers in the aged residential care, home support and disability support sectors. The settlement, once it is ratified by the workers, will lift care and support workers’ pay to between $19.00 and $23.50  hour from 1 July 2017, rising to between $21.50 and $27.00 an hour in July 2021. The statutory minimum wage at present is $15.75 an hour.
The proposed settlement is a huge win and will make a real difference in valuing the work of care and support workers and the people they support. It is a significant step in addressing gender inequality in New Zealand.
It comes after 20 months of negotiations between sector unions, led by E tū, and the New Zealand Government to settle a landmark equal pay case that E tū took on behalf of caregiver and E tū member Kristine Bartlett. The case, lodged in 2012, went all the way to the Supreme Court, with the courts finding gender bias was the cause of Kristine’s low wages.
Kristine says “It will give us dignity and pride and make our lives worthwhile, knowing we’re being paid what we are actually worth. After years of struggling on low wages, hopefully we’re going to have a bit left over to actually enjoy life.”
E tū Assistant National Secretary, John Ryall says the offer once ratified will mean a “once in a lifetime pay rise which will end poverty wages for this mainly female workforce and set them on the path to a better life. We’re delighted today’s proposed settlement recognizes the justice of Kristine’s case and the wonderful work of Kristine and other professional carers.”
Tens of thousands of care and support workers will now vote on the proposed settlement in coming weeks.
