Dear Comrades,
The much expected strike has been deferred. To a great extent the unilateral approach of the department has been contained but that is temporary. Once again department may resort to non-consulting of unions on crucial issues if they feel employees are not with the Unions. So employees union only will render success.
With these quotes I would like all of you to watch the Twitter Updates posted in the AIPEUP3CHQ blogspot where it is quoted that
“Systems Asst with grade pay 4200 will be considered along with cadre review proposals” So this is outcome of the 3 years long struggle. There may be controversial opinions about the nomenclature. When the PB-2 with Grade Rs.5400 news was received our own people found the chances of getting to that place is remote. Our own SAs got dejected. Many our SAs have already decided that they don’t deserve that pay structure. Yes, that is the practical reality our guys have sub-consciously gone done. There is a high possibility that only limited number Posts will be identified for that cadre and chances of many of our SAs being left out is high. Hence what is feasible at this juncture has been done by our union leaders.
Today our General Secretary Com.K.V.Sridharan called me over phone and conveyed that the proposal has been accepted by the department without getting into a strike. The proposal was accepted after quoting the examples in other departments where the Post of System Assistants exists. Thanks to one of our SA named Sukendu Ghosh (I think from West Bengal). Sukendu Ghose sent a recruitment advertisement of AICTE which depicted that a Post named System Assistant exists in Central government department with Grade 4200. This was used in yesterday’s discussion with our DG. That happened to be strong evidence in negotiating this demand. Hence department was bound to accept that. This is a significant advancement for our 3 years long struggle. Hence don’t lose hope.
Nobody has any intentions to conduct a struggle to lose. All struggles are meant for succeeding only. Intensity and cooperation of the employees only renders success.
In the meantime regarding the Road Mileage allowances and other minor issues are on the verge of clearance from JS & FA. So that will be consolation in keeping our struggle alive till the cadre review is finalised.
With regards
Senthil

Dear Comrades,
An extract from the recent quote in our NFPE Blogspot is quoted below:
BABU TARAPADA MUKHERJEEIN HIS HISTORIC SPEECH AT LAHORE CONFERENCEOF ALL INDIA POSTAL AND RMS UNIONS ON 09.10.1921 , STATED : ___________________________________________ "TAKE IT FROM ME, BROTHERS, THAT PETITIONS AND MEMORIALS AND SUPPLICATIONS WILL COUNTFOR NOTHING SO LONG AS YOU DO NOT ORGANISE YOUR SELF IN A MANNER TO CONVINCE THE GOVERNMENT THAT YOU WILL NO LONGER STAND NONSENSE" ________________________________________________________LET US ORGANISE IN SUCH A WAY THAT FROM JULY13th ONWARDS THE ENTIRE POSTAL AND RMS OFFICES COME TO A STANDSTILL
Yes Comrades we have to make this historic event happen on 13th July 2010. Let this 13 July 2010 strike of postal employees be a resounding success and let us engrave it in the history of the Postal employees’ movement in their fight against the draconic economic policies of the Government which has a severe impact on the Postal Services.
In this context I have been frequently been contact over email and mobile phone about the progress on the demand of System Administrator’s after serving the strike notice. To all of you, one fact you have to remember that the Department and the Government will understand only one language that is our united movement which has culminated into an indefinite strike. Only after a united movement we can expect some progress on the demand. Hence don’t have any illusion that our Union leaders are having a magical stick and just by swinging the stick everything will happen. Only our tempo to agitate will strengthen their hands. Hence everything is in your hands and each and every individual has to contribute. First ask yourself that what you have contributed and then ask about others.
Recently I had the opportunity to speak to our newly elected Secretary-General Com.Krishnan when he came to Chennai to participate in the Felicitation function of the outgoing Secretary-General Com.K.Ragavendran. During that interaction our NFPE-P3 General Secretary Com.K.V.Sridharan was also present. For those who are asking about progress and updates about the System Administrator’s demand here it is as follows.
1. ACCENTURE HAS SUBMITTED ITS PROPOSAL ON IMPLEMENTING TECHNOLOGY IN OUR DEPARTMENT.
2. ACCORDINGLY FUNDS HAVE BEEN ALLOTTED TO GO AHEAD WITH THE PROPOSAL GIVEN BY ACCENTURE.
3. THE ALLOCATIONS OF FUNDS AND GOING AHEAD WITH THE PROPOSAL IS AWAITING A FORMAL APPROVAL FROM GROUP OF MINISTERS AS THE FUND OF MORE THAN 2000 CRORES IS NOT WITHIN THE POWERS OF THE NODAL MINISTRY.
4. PROPOSAL FOR CREATION OF SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS CADRE WITH GAZETTED RANK IN PAY BAND 2 WITH GRADE PAY RS.5400 is already sent to by DOP for Finance Ministry clearance.5. AFTER CLERANCE FROM FINANCE MINISTRY IT WILL GO TO DEPARTMENT OF PERSONNAL AND TRAINING (DOPT) FOR FRAMING RECRUITMENT RULES.
Now comrades, in the recent meeting with the Member (Technology) by the newly elected officer bearers of NFPE Federation the above information was revealed. The entire process is in the final phase and it is expected to be completed within two months. Still the Member (Technology) Mr.Samant repeats what he said in the Delhi Seminar
“The contributions of the existing System Administrators will not go unrecognized”
No details has been revealed by the Member (technology) about the following aspects
1. Whether the existing System Administrators will find a place in the newly created cadre ?
2. How many Posts will be created ?
3. What is the actual meaning about the Member (tech) saying that we will not be unrecognized ?
Above questions still remain unanswered. As unanimously decided in our Seminar the Ball is rolling in the direction in which we all wished, but whether we will be benefited out of that still remains a BIG question.
I request our comrades to bear this in your mind and participate intensively in the upcoming strike. Department may have hidden plans about massive outsourcing of the jobs of the System Administrators.
DO NOT RESORT TO MASSIVE REVERTING FROM SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS TO PAs. Our leaders are also having an opinion that such a measure is not advisable as it will be like quitting the struggle in the middle. Hence whatever comes let us struggle till the end. Only our whole-hearted struggle till the end will render success. It will be tough journey and there will be many occasions where we may have to enter into tough fight with the department. HENCE DON’T LOOSE HEART. WE WILL UNITEDLY FIGHT FOR OUR JUSTICE. AFTER ALL IT WAS OUR OWN DEMOCRATIC DECISION IN OUR DELHI SEMINAR TO STRUGGLE TILL THE END.
WITH REVOLUTIONARY GREETINGS AND RED SALUTE TO ALL THE FIGHTING SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS.
