To discuss on the next phase, we request the candidates to please meet us at Circle Union office (Tarapada Memorial Hall, 37, Ganesh Chandra Avenue, Kolkata-13) on 22.07.2015 at 4 P.M.

Due to some action from administrative side in case of South Hooghly Division, Programme at Circle Office scheduled tomorrow (16/07/2015) has been postponed. We are keeping watch over further consequence. However programme at Branch/Division on 22/07/2015 stands unchanged. 

JOINT  EXTENDED  CIRCLE  WORKING  COMMITTEE  MEETING  ON  11.07.2015  ----  DISCUSSIONS  &  DECISIONS

       The Joint Extended Circle Working Committee meeting recorded an excellent presence of secretaries/their representatives from all divisional unions of the Circle. The meeting was presided over by comrades Tapan Dasgupta, Sukumar Mondal, Asit Das and Ashis Dutta. 

     The meeting was inaugurated by Com. Tapan Dasgupta. All Circle Secretaries also spoke at different times during the meeting. A work paper featuring the main points was placed by Circle Unions for discussions over it. 9 divisions, viz. --- Coochbehar, Malda, Kolkata GPO, Howrah, Nadia South, Burdwan, Asansol, Tamluk and Birbhum division spoke, the last with special emphasis on ensuing Circle Conference and collection of advertisements for the souvenir. The Circle Unions also endorsed their request. 

      The deliberations were mainly based on our preparation of strikes on 2nd September 2015 and from 23rd November 2015, membership verification, administrative attacks (especially in divisions like South Hooghly, Howrah, Tamluk etc.), infrastructural problems at offices and administrative reluctance, LSG transfer memo, Postmaster cadre transfer memo etc. The problem of non-payment of Part-time employees in most of the divisions was also discussed with importance. The meeting called upon everyone to remain vigilant in the process of membership verification and the point of possibility of announcing GDS membership verification in October 2015 was also discussed. 

      The meeting adopted 3 resolutions ---- one on the problems of Part-time employees, one on administrative vindication on members of NFPE and the third one on the stay on appointment procedure of selected candidates in PA/SA cadre of 2013-14 batch. 

    The Circle Union is deeply concerned about the stay imposed by the department on their appointment procedure. The copy of the resolution will be sent to the Postal Directorate, New Delhi, demanding lifting the stay order. A program for proceeding to New Delhi with some of the selected candidates is also under discussion for finalisation.

 Apart from the programs mentioned in the work paper, the following programs were finalised :

1. On 22nd July 2015 demonstration will be held in all divisions on 15-point demands submitted earlier to Circle Administration. A resolution will be adopted from the demonstration (will be given in this blog soon).
2. If no effective action is taken by Circle Administration against the atrocious officers as demanded by Circle Unions, continuous relay hunger-fast will be started at the C.O. from 3rd August 2015.
3. Exhaustive preparation and campaigning will be launched to make 2nd September through working committees, zonal meetings, badge wearing, participation in programs called by 12th July Committee etc.  

    All comrades are requested to deploy maximum efforts for the success of the above programs.

CIRCLE  UNION  REITERATES  DEMANDS  IN  RESPECT  OF  SOUTH  HOOGHLY  DIVISION

   

     We are in full awareness that the demands placed by the Circle Union ---- to transfer the present SSPOs, South Hooghly Divn immediately and that also in a post without involving independent charge ---- are unusual. Despite non-settlement of issues and differences of opinions with different tires of administration, we do not make such demands frequently. We generally maintain overall amicable relation with administration for the sake of providing smooth service. Most of the officers also, despite their limitations, try to maintain harmony with staff side and solve cases of staff interests as far as possible.  

     But by the unusual partiality and expressed vendetta against NFPE along with unprecedented atrocities and punishments  against our members with the objective to reduce our membership in his regime, Sri Bidhan Chandra Das, SSPOs, South Hooghly Divn, has forced us to demand this way. AND we shall make it this time through sustained struggle. We already have made our moves, and comrades, rest assured, this move will involve all kinds of legitimate action including legal ones, if situation requires so.

       When an administrator declares warfare against NFPE, there is no way back, there is no looking back. Organisational retaliation is the answer, and he will get one soon.   

ON  MEMBERSHIP  VERIFICATION : COMRADES, WE  SEEK  YOUR  ATTENTION  AGAIN

      This is the circular of extension for submission of membership verification forms. The last date is now 6th August 2015 , not 6th July. The Circle Union has already issued guidelines in respect to the above order. For ready reference of all comrades, the guildeline is reproduced below once again :

    We are sure that our organisers in all divisions and units have already completed collecting signed membership forms from our members and would-be members. But as the last date has been extended by the Directorate till 06.08.2015, the Circle Unions advise our comrades not to submit the forms now and hold till as close as possible to the last date. We would rather utilise this extended period of time to increase our membership even more by additional drives to those who still remain distant from NFPE for different reasons.

     We firmly believe that in present crisis, if the actual scenario and our role is properly explained to everyone, none could stay away from us. Let us devote ourselves in that task, and at the same time, please maintain close contacts with our members. We need to remain absolutely serious in this highest responsibility in the organisation and none or nothing should be taken for granted. Let NFPE be the winner again.

     Please act accordingly.

Continuous fast from 2.7.2015 at Yogayog Bhawan deferred
