Privatisation of Post
Respected all,
Greetings from India
As expected the Postal reforms started in India Post, leading to privatization.
As
a basic step the outsourcing is being implemented in the Sectors of
Mail Booking and Delivery. In the Banking Sector the Rural Banks are
merged with postal Savings Bank and in the India Post payment Bank 100%
recruitment from the market already done leaving the existing posts of
Postal personal of the Savings Bank. As you know one committee
recommended for dividing India Post into 6 corporations as done in Japan
Post by Cory Zeme. This was opposed and stopped by the postal unions.
In
the second term of a Government led by Sri Modi the public sector
undertakings Govt sectors like railways, insurance sectors like LIC of
india were opened to market shares on privatization.
The
defense civilian employees working in the 42 ordinance factories
earning 400millions were sold to Ambani Group of Companies and the
agitating employees were crushed with an ordinance of dismissal and
three years imprisonment.
The
labour reforms started in industrial sector and in the Government
sector who are governed by Statutory rules and without amending statutes
framed under the provisions of constitution of India, severe amendments
are made making of recognized trade unions non functional.
Taking
the experience of ordinance factories my union is compelled to file
writ petitions in the high court in all Postal Circles by spending
thousands of rupees to overcome from the litigation. But the relief is
very much temporary and the survival will end with the statutory
amendments once approved.
In this connection I refer to the webinar by UNI on 30th October 2020 in India and paper printed by professor Sarath T. Savanth.
FNPO
the direct affiliate of UNI understood the situation and struggling for
the international support for the moral support and financial support
as it cannot bear the expenses for training and enlightenment of the
Cadre in the new situation of Postal as well as labour reforms. The
survival now is not guaranteed. They should be prepared for the struggle
and legal ligations/battles and negotiations in the new environment.
The UNI APRO faced these situations in south east asia and negotiated the governments and achieved positive results.
My
fervent appeal before UNI world congress to examine the serious
situation, assist the major affiliate in India for surviving
financially, legally and by negotiations.
Thanking you all,
With fraternal greetings,
Vasireddy Sivaji
Secretary General, FNPO

Employees will gather at Ramlila Maidan to demand restoration of Old Pension Scheme.
Government employees
from both Central and state departments are set to gather at Ramlila
Maidan on August 10, united in their call for the reinstatement of the
Old Pension Scheme. As announced by a group of railway union leaders,
the event titled 'Pension Rights Maharally' will be organised under the
umbrella of the Joint Forum for Restoration of Old Pension Scheme
(JFROPS)/National Joint Council of Action (NJCA).
Addressing the media during a press conference, Shiv Gopal Mishra,
the national convener of NJCA and the general secretary of All India
Railway Men's Federation (AIRF), conveyed that a significant portion of
employees who commenced government service after January 1, 2004,
strongly oppose the New Pension Scheme (NPS).
These employees express apprehension about their
post-retirement prospects, feeling that they have been stripped of the
Old Pension Scheme and involuntarily placed under the New Pension
Scheme, PTI reported.
"Due to this, the future and old age support of millions of employees
are in jeopardy and this is why we have formed the Joint Forum for
Restoration of Old Pension Scheme (JFROPS)/NJCA," PTI quoted Mishra as
saying.
The upcoming 'Pension Rights
Maharally' is scheduled for August 10 at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi,
commencing at 9:30 am, as confirmed by Mishra.
The rally is expected to attract a diverse participant pool,
encompassing Central, state, railway, and PSU employees, along with
teachers, defence personnel, and ex-paramilitary personnel from across
the nation, Mishra indicated.
Mishra mentioned that the group has organised various demonstrations,
rallies, and torch processions on a regional level. They have also
submitted memorandums to district officials, governors, cabinet
secretaries, and even the prime minister, highlighting their concerns
regarding this matter. Mishra voiced the growing discontent among
employees due to what they perceive as the government's "anti-employee
policies."
Mishra emphasised that if leaders are entitled to the benefits of the
Old Pension Scheme, then the employees who dedicate their entire
careers to public service deserve similar support during their
retirement years. He asserted that restoring the Old Pension Scheme is
the right of these employees. "This is their right and the government
should immediately restore the Old Pension Scheme," he said.
Mishra warned that if the government fails to address their demands,
the possibility of a nationwide protest known as a 'Bharat Bandh' will
be announced, bringing the nation to a standstill. In such a scenario,
Mishra asserted that the government would bear sole responsibility for
the resulting consequences.
