Resolution adopted from stay-in hunger fast held on 28-29 November 2017

ON Implementation of RICT and CSI

            This mass stay-in hunger-fast program and demonstration note with serious concern that in the name of technological upgradation of rural postal services, RICT is being imposed on our staffs without proper infrastructure, support and even training. A huge number of vacancies to different GDS posts are still kept unfilled. GDSBPM posts are being managed by lower cadre officials very irregularly violating departmental rules regarding minimum qualification. There is no standard printed guide for smooth independent operation. Even the training has been started and continued while the department has failed to keep the training server functional. As a result, there is no hands-on training. The registration of the substitutes to GDS staffs is yet to be done. So, a BPM would be compelled to remain in duty despite all odds in future till substitutes are registered which seems to take a long period.

          Regarding CSI also, it is apprehended that the pre-requisites like complete AV-AD Rollout would be avoided. Connectivity still remains one of the biggest issues in our centralized projects. Before CSI, connectivity should be ensured at all places. Proper infrastructure, comprehensive training with documented guide, back up and support by vendors and replacement of old and sluggish computers must be ensured before implementation of CSI.

          This program resolves to demand that the implementation of RICT should be deferred till the training server is ready for hands-on operation by the trainees and registration of substitutes are completed. Further, the recruitment to the vacant posts of all Branch Post Offices should be filled up immediately, otherwise circlewide movement will be launched shortly.

Resolution adopted from stay-in hunger fast held on 28-29 November 2017

ON Engagement of Outsourced Postal Agents

            This mass stay-in hunger-fast program and demonstration note with serious concern that an effort has been initiated by different divisions in West Bengal Circle to engage Outsourced Postal Agents (OPA) with the objective of outsourcing of postal functioning. This mass gathering of the rank and file of postal employees holds that with huge number of vacancies in clerical and postman posts, introduction of OPAs and empowering them for booking and delivery of articles will practically evaporate the recruitment process. This, on one hand, is a severe attack on the promotional prospect of the GDS employees and, on the other hand, will reduce the scope for the unemployed youth of our country in a Central Govt department like ours.

          This demonstration expresses its firm belief that such engagement of OPAs would be completely unnecessary had the recruitment to the vacant posts in the department been made in time, and sternly condemns the decision of outsourcing diluting the process of recruitment thereby.

          This program resolves to demand immediate scrapping of the engagement of OPAs and expedite recruitment to the vacant posts in no time.
