Joint Movement against Outsourcing at AMPC and new Mail Schedule

Under the banner of Postal Joint Council of Action all cross section of postal employees of this circle have build up united struggle against the unilateral move of the PMG(MM) who imposed Outsourcing at AMPC at Kolkata AP Stg and changed the previous mail schedule in an unrealistic and unscientific way causing disruption of Postal Services as a whole. The Postal JCA, from a massive demonstration held on 27-08-12 on the floor of Yogayog bhawan submitted a memorandum to the then Chief PMG, copy of which has also been endorsed to the PMG(MM). Again another letter was also issued on 31-08-12 to the Chief PMG seeking her immediate intervention. Even meanwhile all Postal/ RMS/ MMS Divisions and DAP/ Admn. Office held demonstration at base level and sent resolution to the Chief PMG and the PMG(MM) on the same issue. But the Circle Administration, particularly the PMG(MM) finds it better to be indifferent to this ongoing movement and justified demands of the Staff side. This is a bitter and rare experience in West Bengal, which we have not faced here since long. So finding no alternatives the Circle level JCA arrange the demonstration program at Circle Headquarter  including two days’ mass leave and day long Dharna for 6^th and 7^th September, 2012.

But it comes to the notice that no positive steps from administrative side has been taken till date to settle the issue across the table in the interest of absolute normalcy in Postal Services in West Bengal.

Now there is no option but to start second phase of severe trade Union action. The Circle level Postal JCA has decided to start Campaign Program amongst the general public to inform the general mass that what is now happening in the Postal Department and why and for what reason the general public are not getting the proper Service from the Department of post and who is behind all of these.

The campaign programme is fixed as below:
