Madam,
Sub: - Protest against
arbitrary grant of Trade Union facilities to Bharathiya Postal Employees
Federation (BPEF) and all its affiliated unions.
We are shocked to
note that the Department has granted all Trade Union facilities to BPEF and all
its affiliated unions vide your office order dated 24-06-2014. We vehemently protest and condemn this
illegal, arbitrary and discriminatory orders of the Department due to reasons
stated below:
1. In spite of the protest from recognised
Postal Federations Department implemented CCS (RSA) Rules 1993 and as per the
said Rules only the two Federations/Unions which secure 35% and 15% minimum
membership alone will be granted recognition and trade union facilities. Except one union, all other affiliates of
BPEF secured only less than 5% membership in the last membership verification
under Check-off system. As such grant of
Trade Union facilities to BPEF and all its affiliated Unions is contrary to the
provisions of CCS (RSA) Rules 1993.
2. All affiliated unions of NFPE/FNPO
participated in the last membership verification held during the year
2010. Some of the affiliates (including NUGDS of FNPO) of the
above federations could not secure 15% minimum membership required for
recognition. Till this day, those unions
are not granted trade union facilities.
Then how, all on a sudden, all the affiliates of BPEF with less than 5%
membership is accorded trade union facilities?
This is nothing but naked discrimination. Similarly the application for grant of Trade
Union facilities to the newly formed GDS Union of NFPE is also long pending in
the Directorate.
3. During the last membership verification,
BPEF has challenged the provisions of CCS (RSA) Rules 1993 and filed a case in
the Chennai High Court praying for recognition to BPEF and all its affiliated
unions. Chennai High Court has rejected
the arguments of BPEF and the case was dismissed. Subsequently Department conducted membership
verification and granted Recognition to NFPE and FNPO and also to its
affiliated unions which secured minimum 35% / 15% membership.
This being the
position, the present orders issued by the Department is against the spirit of
all the existing rules on the subject and also highly discriminatory. We request you to review the order forthwith
and take action to withdraw the arbitrary orders and restore status-quo-ante.
Awaiting immediate
action,
Yours faithfully,
D. Theagarajan, M. Krishnan
Secretary General, FNPO. Secretary General, NFPE
