OA No. 381/2010 regarding Grade Pay of Inspector Posts has been allowed by the Tribunal

Case regarding Grade Pay of Inspector Posts ( OA No. 381/2010) was allowed by the Hon'ble CAT Ernakulam Bench today with a direction to the Secretary (Ministry of Finance) (1st respondent) to take necessary action to upgrade the Grade Pay of Inspector Posts to Rs. 4600/- at par with Inspectors in CBDT/CBEC, as per the recommendations of the 6th Pay Commission. The Hon'ble Tribunal also observed that this would make the GP of IPs at par with the present GP of ASPs and hence it would be desirable to upgrade the GP of ASPs as well accordingly.

Copy of the judgement is likely to be received shortly.

Thanks.

EXTENSION OF SUPPORT TO THE PROPOSED INDEFINITE STRIKE CALL GIVEN BY POSTAL JOINT COUNCIL OF ACTION FROM 05.07.2011.

Dear Sir / friends

As all of us are well aware the Postal Joint Council of Action comprising NFPE, FNPO and GDS Unions has given a joint call for indefinite strike from July 5th 2011. The Department is going ahead with the Mail Network Optimisation Project recommended by the multinational consultancy called Mckinsey, which will have for-reaching implications. Thousands of Post Offices and RMS Sorting Offices are under the threat of closure. Unfortunately, the Department is not ready to take the employees or their Unions/Associations into confidence while implementing such measures. The other issues raised in the charter of demands are also equally important.
The Inspector, Posts cadre is one of the most neglected cadre in the Department. We are forced to work day and night for achieving targets fixed by the superiors, in addition to our day-to day inspection and other routine work without any extra remuneration. We are doing an excellent work as the middle level managers. Inspite of all this, our genuine demands for up-gradation of Grade Pay and better promotional avenues have not yet been considered positively by the Department. Our minimum demands for up-gradation of Grade Pay for Inspector, Posts and cadre restructuring to ensure better promotional avenues are still pending. We are in dark when these demands will be accepted by the Department for implementation. Our letters and memorandums are not being considered in a positive manner. There is great resentment among the IPs and ASPs working through out the country against the attitude of the Department.
We are seriously considering the appeal from the Postal JCA to join the strike. Pending decision by our Central Working Committee, we hereby extend our full and whole hearted support to the proposed indefinite strike from July 5th. We like to make it clear that we shall not act as strike breakers. However, it is also made clear that we shall work within the sphere of duties of Inspector, Posts cadre only in the event of the strike.
