RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY THE CWC MEETING OF
AIRMS & MMS EU GROUP-C AT JAIPUR ON 15TH & 16TH DECEMBER, 2017
RESOLUTION-1
The Central Working Committee meeting of AIRMS& MMS, Employees Union GROUP-C held at Jaipur 15th & 16th December 2017 discussed the resentment and unrest among the RMS & MMS employees over the non - implementation of cadre restructuring, non- payment of out station allowance to the staff arranged in sections, non revision of overtime allowance and non settled issues of MMS etc. The meeting resolved to organize trade Union actions alongwith R4 Union for the settlement of the below mentioned burning issues of RMS & MMS employees:
1. NON-PAYMENT OF OUT STATION ALLOWANCE AND ACCOUNTANT ALLOWANCE: Out station allowance to sectional staff and Special allowance of P0 & RMS Accountants were withdrawn as part of implementation of 7th CPC recommendations. It is observed that the staff are much agitated on being deprived of their genuine entitlement enjoyed hitherto. Request immediate action for payment of OSA to the staff arranged in sections and special allowance to P0/ RMS Accountants and also request to provide food allowance to the staff working in sections till the OSA issue is settled.
2. DISCRIMINATION TO RMS/ MMS EMPLOYEES IN CADRE- RESTRUCTURING:-The CWC voiced profound concern over the undue delay in cadre restructuring of RMSIMMS employees and other left out categories. It was an agreement in the JCM Departmental Council that cadre restructuring will be implemented to RMS/MMS employees in the same proportion of PA cadre, but it is not yet materialised Unrest and protest developed among the rank and file over the undue delay in sanctioning cadre restructuring in RMS wing.
3. REVISION OF OVERTIME ALLOWANCE:RMS and MMS employees are compelled to work beyond duty hours and the OTA rate they are getting is Rs. 15.85 per hour. The rate was last revised in the year 1989 and even after the implementation 0f 7th CPC, the OTA rate is not revised. It is high time that the authorities will look into the revision of OTA rate for those cadres, who are compelled to work beyond normal working hours.
4. PROPOSED PNOP IN RMS:As per the proposed PNOP, 49 PH and 126 SPH only will do the parcel work through out the country. More than 200 L2 RMS offices will not have the parcel work and it will become a threat to the existence of L2 offices. Large scale back routing and accumulation of parcels will be the result, as it was happened at the time of implementation of MNOP. CWC resolved to request that PNOP will be implemented only after discussion with staff side at Directorate and Circle level. Sufficient infrastructure will be provided before its implementation. Geographical situation of Mail Office should also be considered for PNOP. No Mail Office should be closed or merged due to PNOP introduction.

Acute staff shortage arised in all offices due to the delay in completion of recruitment process. Denial of legitimate leave, weekly off and accumulation of mails occurred in many offices
