Memorandum

                This mass demonstration of all cross section of Postal Employees held on this day at the floor of Yogayog Bhawan under the banner of NFPE (including GDS union) expresses its serious concern over certain steps taken by Circle Administration and various circulars and orders issued by the authorities in connection with installation of AMPC at Kolkata AP Stg. This demonstration also observed that a sense of insecurity has already been developed amongst the RMS employees at large, which could easily be avoided particularly when our organizations were not against modernization of RMS works. A section of lower level officers mainly in Kolkata RMS, in the name of implementation of instruction of higher level officers have been doing everything at every now and then without caring the staff side, which should immediately be restrained to avoid further resentment amongst the staff. However, this demonstration therefore put forward the following demands for your kind consideration.

                Today’s huge demonstration of all cross sections of postal Employees also observs with deep anguish and concern that over recent period, a section of Administration at every tier in this Circles is gradually becoming partial, vindictive and autocratic to our members. They are favouring FNPO most irregularly and even forgetting their duties/ responsibilities and the dignities of their posts. Not only that sometimes they are intervening in our business in unjustified manner particularly when we are demonstrating in our justified and legitimate demands. Series of events can be cited as references, among which we are mentioning some herein below :-
