Dt. 25.04.2014.
To
Shri. Mervin Alexander,
IPS.,
Postmaster General,
ChennaiCity Region,
Chennai600 002.
Respected Sir,
Sub: Unruly behavior of Sr.
Postmaster , Vellore HPO
and unleashing of Trade
Union Victimization against the Union Office
bearers at Vellore Division
inviting series of Trade Union actions disturbing Industrial Peace at
Vellore Division – Request for personal intervention of PMG,CCR – Reg.
Ref: This union letter
dt. 15.04.2014.
…..
The kind and personal
attention of our PMG is invited to this
union reference cited, wherein we have
discussed at length about the unruly behavior and
activities of the Sr. Postmaster,
and requested for a detailed enquiry with the staff
immediately.
Besides, we have
requested to take action, so as to stop
victimization of the union office bearers, those who have taken part in
the informal meeting held with the Sr.
Postmaster and to cancel the arbitrary issuance of the transfer orders of the
SSPOs., Vellore issued on our Divisional
President, who is certified as a good worker by the earlier administrations.
But to our dismay, it is observed that , instead of
making a thorough enquiry on this issue , the SSPOs., Vellore Dn., himself has taking
side, and sending negative reports , on the union office bearers , of his own, to the higher authorities, even
without conducting ground level enquiry or even without relying on the statements of the witnesses already recorded.
Further, the Postmaster, Vellore has issued charge sheet against our Divisional Secretary , for the
Medical Leave already he availed
during period from 22.7.13, stating that
the leave was not granted
properly. Similarly, while our President
Sri. B. Amruthaganesan
applied EL on MC from
12.4.2014, his leave period was declared as unauthorized absence by the Sr. Postmaster and arbitrary orders were issued to withhold his pay and allowances, even without
waiting for getting
report from the Dist. Medical
Board.
Such actions of the
Local Administration , further
aggravating the situation and spoiling the conducive working atmosphere at
Vellore Division. Even
though the timely intervention of the Circle Union with
good intention and on the assurances of the PMG, CCR, has stopped, the announced struggle at Vellore and stopped the circulation of notices, we are now in a thrust to go ahead
for Regional level programme of
action against the atrocities of
the Vellore Divisional administration.
Even now , we are having a
ray of hope on our PMG, for
his judicious intervention and we request that
i) the
arbitrary transfer orders issued to
our Divisional President Sri. B. Amrutha ganesan should be
cancelled immediately, If his presence is felt by the Divl. administration,
to be a hindrance for a free and fair enquiry, why similar yardstick not applied in the case of Sr. Postmaster, Vellore ?
ii) the arbitrary withholding of pay and allowances against our Divisional
President, Sri. B. Amruthaganesan, made
by the Postmaster, Vellore should be withdrawn immediately . There is no provision in any rule to
withhold the pay and allowances
for a case already referred to the Regional Director of Health Services
for second medical opinion.
iii) the rude
victimizations unleashed against the
union office bearers should be stopped immediately, besides dropping the
charge sheet issued against our Divisional Secretary, Sri. S.
Veeran by the Sr. Posstmaster, for the
leave already he availed , 9 months back. It is to mention here that, being Sri. S. Veeran is P.A. Vellore Fort and the entire dely Estt. of vellore Fort is attached with Vellore HO for
the time being , the Sr. Postmaster is not to be the Disc. Authority in his case and the issuance of the charge sheet itself is illegal.
Expecting justice from our
PMG on this confrontation made by
the Divl. level Officers against our Trade Union
.
With regards,
Sd/-
(J. RAMAMURTHY)
CIRCLE SECRETARY.
