RAISE  VOICE  OF  PROTEST  AGAINST  ADMINISTRATIVE  ATROCITIES  AT  KOLKATA G.P.O.  ---- DEMONSTRATION  AT  C.O.  AND  ALL  DIVISIONS  TOMORROW.

        The Circle and Kolkata GPO administration has issued transfer orders for two officials under Rule-37 of P & T Manual vol-IV, one to South Presidency and the other to South Nadia Divisions.

          These orders have been issued at such a time when the Circle Unions have interfered to clinch the complications between GPO staff-side & the administration. We do not think that there can be any issue which cannot be settled on the table of discussion. The complication originated when the administration deviated from their earlier assurance and made an effort to redeploy more posts from GPO to other divisions beyond justification and without taking any concrete workload. Unpleasant situation was invited by the administration in that way during a local demonstration by our branch unions of Kolkata GPO.

             Two officials of GPO have already been charge sheeted under Rule-14 of CCS (CCA) Rules, and now they are transferred under Rule-37 to far-flung divisions curbing their service conveniences. 

               The Circle Unions have called upon the branch & divisional secretaries of branches & divisions in Kolkata city to participate in a massive demonstration at the C.O. at 1:30 P.M. tomorrow. All other branch & divisional unions will also hold lunch-hour demonstration against the atrocity and send a savingram to the Chief Postmaster General in the following text :

Savingram  dated  31.12.2010.

 ======  Stop administrative attacks & vindication on staffs   XXX  Drop charge sheets under Rule-14 & withdraw transfer orders under Rule-37 at Kolkata GPO   XXX   else we shall be compelled to launch circlewide severe trade union action   =====

Please send the savingram to the Chief Postmaster General by fax from all divisions.
