அண்ணன்'  என்று பேரன்போடும்  'அஞ்சா நெஞ்சன்' என்று பேருவகை யோடும் அண்ணனைப் பற்றி நாம் நினைவு கொள்ள , ஆம்  ! ஓராண்டு முடிந்ததையா ! மாவீரன்  இந்த மண்ணுலகை விட்டு சென்ற பின்னே

அண்ணனின் தம்பி மார் செயங்கொண்டார்  பாடிய
 'கலிங்கத்துப் பரணி'  போல -

"பொருதடக்கை வாளெங்கே மணிமார் பெங்கே
 போர்முகத்தி லெவர்வரினும் புறங்கொ டாத

       பருவயிரத் தோளெங்கே யெங்கே யென்று

புலம்பி அழுகின்ற  நிலை காணீர் .....

      "அண்ணனே  நீ வருவாய்  என்று  காத்திருந்தோம் !
      நீ  வரமாட்டாய்  ... வரவில்லையெனில் உன் இதயத்தை 
      இரவலாகத் தந்திடு அண்ணா "

என்று  அண்ணனுக்கு இரங்கற்பா  எழுதிய  தம்பி போல கேட்கிறது  எம் இதயம்அண்ணனே !  எம்  இதய மன்னனே !  உன் இதயத்தை தந்திடு எமக்குபோர் முகத்தில்  எவர் வரினும் புறங்கொடாத இதயம் வேண்டும் எமக்குதந்திடு அண்ணா !  எம்  இதய மன்னா !
 சும்மா வருவதல்ல சுதந்திரம்

          Please maintain the tempo and make all efforts to make 2 day Strike on 9th & 10thNovember, 2016 a grand success to achieve the demands.

AN INJURY TO ONE IS AN INJURY TO ALL
THE WEAK  AND DOWNTRODDEN NEED PROTECTION
               The Government of India decided to extend the benefit of enhancement of bonus calculation celling from 3500 to 7000, to Central Government employees also, in the wake of 2016 September 2nd General strike, in which this was an important demand of the Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers and NFPE.  Orders enhancing the ceiling to 7000/- was issued by Government of India on 29th August 2016 with retrospective effect from 01-04-2014. i.e; from Financial year 2014-15.  Payment of arrears for the year 2014-15 was made to the departmental employees in the month of September 2016 itself.
          Unfortunately, the benefit of enhanced bonus calculation ceiling is not extended to three lakhs Gramin Dak Sevaks till this date.  They have neither been paid arrears for 2014-15 nor the enhanced bonus for 2015-16 also.  Each GDS employee has suffered a loss of Rs. 14,000 for two financial years on account of limiting the bonus to the old ceiling of 3500.  There is no convincing or valid reason for denial or delay in payment of enhanced bonus to Gramin Dak Sevaks.
          Last time, the Nataraja Murthy committee’s recommendation had resulted in denial of enhancement of bonus calculation ceiling from 2500 to 3500.  Nataraja Murthy has recommended that GDS should be paid only 50% of the bonus of regular employees, as their productivity is only 50% of full time employees.  Government accepted this recommendation and refused to grant enhanced bonus calculation ceiling of 3500/- to GDS, Against this decision of the Government NFPE, AIPEU-GDS and Postal Joint Council of action conducted series of agitational programes including strike and finally Government approved 3,500/- bonus calculation ceiling to GDS also.  Thus the issue was settled once for all and there is no need of raising any doubt by the Postal Board, this time.
          But, surprisingly, the Postal Board instead of issuing orders for grant of enhanced bonus to GDS referred the issue to GDS Committee.  Fortunately, unlike Nataraja Murthy (a sadist officer who snatched away many of the benefit of GDS through his most retrograde and inhuman recommendations), the present GDS committee Chairman Shri Kamalesh Chandra (Retired Postal Board Member) submitted a reasonable, balanced and judicious recommendation to the Postal Board.  In his recommendation Shri Kamalesh Chandrahas made it clear that the difference between the revenue generated by Branch Post Offices (GDS) and the expenditure incurred for running the BOs is only 200 Crores, where as the total deficit of the Department of Posts is more than 6000 crores.  That shows that major portion of the loss of the Postal Department is not due to GDS system.  He recommended that as the productivity of GDS is equal or in some cases more than departmental employees, GDS are eligible for enhanced bonus ceiling of Rs.7000/-.
                   Inspite of this unambiguous recommendation, the Postal Board refused to issue orders.  Instead, it has referred the file for approval of Finance Ministry.  Now the file is pending with Finance Ministry.  More than two months are over, after the Government issuing the enhanced bonus calculation ceiling order.  Three lakhs GDS are totally disappointed and their anger and protest is increasing day by day.  Grave injustice is done to the GDS and it cannot be tolerated. 
                   There are 5.5 lakhs employees working in the Postal Department, out of that 2.75 lakhs are Gramin Dak Sevaks.  Denial of enhanced bonus to 50% of the work force is a clear case of discrimination.  It is not a case of GDS alone.  In a family if somebody is affected, then it becomes the issue of all members of the family.  Every member of the family shall stand together to help the affected member and to resolve the problem.  Here also, the problem of GDS who are the most oppressed and down-trodden section of the Postal department is the problem of all.  An injury to one is an injury to all.

                   It is in this background, Postal JCA comprising NFPE, FNPO, AIPEU-GDS & NUGDS has decided to organise two day’s nationwide strike on 9th & 10th November 2016, demanding (1) enhanced bonus to GDS and (2) payment of arrears of revised wages from 01-01-2006 to all casual labourers.  NFPE and AIPEU-GDS calls upon the entirety of Postal employees including GDS and Casual labourers to make the two days strike a grand success.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM
The 6th Meeting of the committee for examination of feasibility of implementation of recommendations of Seventh Central Pay Commission for revision of pension of pre-2016 pensioners was held under the Chairmanship of Shri C, Viswanath, Secretary (Pension) on 6.10.2016 at Sardar Patel Bhawan, New Delhi This meeting was called for seeking the views of the Staff side of JCM on the feasibility of implementation of the first option for revision of pension of pre 2016 pensioners recommended by the Seventh Central Pay Commission.

2. The following were present from official side:

1. Sh. Ashok Kumar Dash, Member (Personnel), Department of Posts.
2. Ms. Santosh, Joint Secretary, Department of Ex-Servicemen Welfare,
3. Sh. Rozy Agarwal, Joint CGDA, Ministry of Defence,
4. Sh. R. K. Chaturvedi, Joint Secretary, Implementation Cell, Department of Expenditure,
5. Sh. Sanjay Singh, Chief Controller (Pension), CPAO (representing Controller General of Accounts).

1. Shri Shiv Gopal Mishra, Secretary, JCM.
2. Shri Guman Singh, Member
3. Shri J. R. Bhosale, Member
4. Shri K.K. N, Kutty, Member
5. Shri C. Srikurnar. Member
6. Shri R. D. Gupta, Member

4. Welcoming Members of the Committee and the representatives of JCM (Staff Side), Secretary (Pension) requested Additional Secretary (Pension) to make a presentation.

5. In her presentation, Addl Secretary (Pension) brought out the position regarding the requirement of records and the factors which may affect the feasibility of arriving at the notional pay in Seventh CPC by counting increments in the last scale of pay as recommended by the Pay . Commission. She also mentioned about the anomalies that are likely to arise in the process. The presentation brought out the methodology adopted by the Committee to examine the feasibility of the first option and the finding of the Committee in this regard. She mentioned that the service records for increment method may not be available in around 18.3% of the cases. The difficulties in extracting the information from the records and determining the exact number of the increments for revision of pension under first option were explained. She indicated that the Committee has found that the alternative method of arriving at notional pay in Seventh CPC by applying formula for pay revision for serving employees in each Pay Commission and giving 50% of this as pension to be beneficial to all pensioners in comparison to the fitment method.

6. Thereafter, Secretary (Pension) requested the Members of the JCM (Staff Side) for their views on the feasibility of the first option.

7. The representative of the JCM (Staff side) mentioned that in their representation to the Seventh Commission, they had suggested revision of pension of pre-2006 pensioners by notional Pay Fixation in each successive pay Commission period. However, the Pay Commission recommended the revision of pension by fixing the notional pay on the basis of increments earned in the last post.

8. The JCM (Staff side) mentioned that the Cabinet has approved revision of pension by the first option (increment method), if its implementation is found feasible after examination by the Committee. They mentioned that in addition to the Service Book/ Personal File, the details of increments earned can be ascertained from the Gradation/Seniority List issued by the Departments from time to time. Therefore, one cannot say that the first option recommended by the Pay Commission is not feasible on the grounds of non-availability of records. In regard to the perceived anomalies, the Staff side stated that anomalies arose in implementation of the recommendations of all previous Pay Commissions. Such anomalies can always be rectified through the mechanism of Anomaly Committee.

9, On the alternate method of revision of pension by notional pay . fixation in each Pay Commission, the Staff side felt that the pensioners who are likely to get higher benefit by increments method may not accept revision ‘of pension by pay fixation method. This may, therefore, lead to litigation.

10. After detailed discussion, the staff side sought time to consider the alternate method of fixation of notional pay in each intervening Pay Commission for revision of pension as on 1.1.2016 before submitting their final views in this regard. It was, accordingly, decided to have another meeting with the JCM (Staff side) on 17.10.2016 at 10.00 A.M.
