ONWARD
TO GUNTUR
Guntur
Nagarjuna University entices you. Representative Delegates and the Active corps of the Postal national union
movement will converge at Nagarjuna university premises in the month of January
2013 in a mammoth gathering to review the activities of the union in the last
two years, analyse the present situation, take a peep in to the future and resolve
upon the further steps to be taken to realize our objectives in the 20th
All India conference of National Association of Postal Employees Group C Scheduled
to be held from 10th to 12th January 2013. We shall be
conferring when the USO is under threat, Euro is melting down and this has
affected the world economy.Many European countries are facing poverty. As a result,
the Indian economy was shaking ever before involving unbelievable price rise.
The whole workers community in India is under threat. Indian Government is
decided to invite FDI in retail markets whereas demonstrations are organized in
Wall Street by the job seekers and middle class.
The
Ministry of communications, India has formulated National Postal Policy 2012
with ultimate aim of making the postal Department as a Public sector Unit. New
developments rapidly taking place in the Department. Project Arrow was
introduced and core banking is introduced as a first step, the Department is
introducing anywhere/anytime/any branch banking through core banking solution.
Business Development plans are expanding. The department signed agreements with
Accenture Services for modernization of Postal functions. In order to grow organizationally
the Department is mooting towards setting up of Post bank of India.
The much awaited Postal Bill amending the
Indian post office Act is yet to be tabled in the Parliament. But the new
postal Policy is announced without the amended postal Bill. The staff is
suffocated with the changes in the system. The job mobility, change in the
atmosphere around us is a matter of concern. The defective HRD solutions and
inadequate training, non availability of adequate infrastructure, resultant
victimization of the staff is resulted in frustration. Management is not
providing solutions and the old attitude of master servant relation instead of
leadership role is creating uproar at the field level. The unilateral recovery
from the lower level staff for the failures of the system is creating a sense
of insecurity. The anomalies in implementation of MACP and denial of promotion
to the staff, inordinate delay in restructuring of cadres is the concern of
Group C employees. These are only illustrative not exhaustive. We have to, discuss,
deliberate and decide future course of action and formulate demands.
Trek to Guntur in large
numbers. We are looking forward to a return with hands laden with destiny.
Let
us make the 20th AIC a historic one, and, again, on to Guntur
