HISTORIC MERGER OF TWO SBCO ASSOCIATIONS FOR THE BIRTH OF A STRONGER FIGHTING SBCO EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION

TWO SBCO EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATIONS TODAY DECIDED TO MERGE AND FUNCTION

AS A SINGLE ORGANISATION

 

A new and historic decision has been taken today by the General Secretaries and All India Presidents of  All India Postal SBCO Employees Association and Indian Postal SBCO Staff Association in a Special Meeting in New Delhi. In the special meeting Comrades K.Ragavendran [SG NFPE]; K.V.Sridharan [GS P3]; and P.Suresh [GS R4] also were present. The basic idea of the special meeting is to find out ways and means for having a fighting united organisation for protecting the basic interests of all SBCO Employees and Staff.

The Meeting took into consideration that unless these two organisations merge together and function as a single entity, it will be impossible to create a stronger trade union association for the cause of the SBCO staff. This is the aspiration of the basic membership of SBCO also.

With this task in mind, and in an atmosphere of mutual good will and accommodation, the leaders of both the SBCO Organisations came to the decision to merge their both Associations and henceforward to function under the banner of "All India Postal SBCO Employees Association" and to seek affiliation with the National Federation of Postal Employees after winning Government Recognition under CCS RSA Rules 1993.

It is also unanimously resolved that all SBCO employees would be approached jointly to get their signature in favour of "All India Postal SBCO Employees Association" to win Government Recognition in the ongoing process of Re-verification because of the fact that the interests of the SBCO Employees can be well protected only if the organisation of SBCO Employees enjoy Government Recognition.

It is also unanimously decided by the leaders of both SBCO Organisations that within one month of the finalisation of the Re-verification process, the All India Conference will be convened by Comrade Asit Das the General Secretary of All India Postal SBCO Employees Association and a unanimous team of Office Bearers will be elected with the representatives of both the SBCO Organisations as per the understanding reached in the meeting. The copy of the understanding signed by both the leaders is exhibited below [Scanned Documents] for the information of all our members.

The list of Authorised Office Bearers for each and every circle is also placed below. NFPE & P3 CHQ requests all the Circle Secretaries of NFPE Unions in general and the P3 Circle / Divisional / Branch Unions in particular to extend total cooperation to the representatives of SBCO Association for enrolling the SBCO Members immediately. This time our target is Recognition to our All India SBCO Employees Association with greater membership.
