REGULARIZATION OF CASUAL LABOURERS - WINS A LEGAL BATTLE - CHENNAI NEWS

REGULARIZATION OF CASUAL LABOURERS - WINS A LEGAL BATTLE - CHENNAI NEWS

After waiting 30 years, 150 postal staff regularised

Chennai, Mar 9, 2012(TNN): After waiting for 30 years, close to 150 employees of the postal department will finally become regular employees, thanks to the intervention of the Central Administrative Tribunal ( CAT). A bench of G Shanthappa, judicial member and R Satapathy, administrative member, passed orders on the matter.

The applicants were appointed mazdoors with the department of posts in 1982. While joining, they were assured that their services would be regularised. Based on directions in a Supreme Court judgment, the department introduced a scheme in 1991 which stipulated that all casual labourers who worked for eight hours a day for 240 days every year as on November 29, 1989 would be conferred temporary status.

Those who were granted temporary status and had worked for three consecutive years would be conferred with 'Group D' status. These employees – who are now called multi-tasking staff – would be eligible for pension and other service benefits.

When they approached the tribunal in 2010, they were directed to make individual representations to authorities by listing out their grievances. But their claims were rejected mainly on two grounds – that they were overage and that they did not have the qualification.

When their fresh applications came up for hearing, M Ravindran, additional solicitor general who appeared for the Union government, said authorities did not have any objection to regularise their services.

The bench said there "cannot be any hindrance for the absorption of applicants" who have been working for so long. "It has also come to our notice that there are enough vacancies to accommodate the applicants before us," the bench said.

Authorities were directed to consider regularising these applicants and give age relaxation and training for those who did not possess matriculation skills within three months.

Mr. Dasgupta told The Hindu later that the meeting came in the backdrop of "biggest nationwide strike" by trade unions on February 28, which sent a clear message registering a strong protest against the policies being pursued by the Congress-led Central government.

According to Mr. Dasgupta, Mr. Mukherjee agreed to hold a meeting with leaders of all trade unions. For the first time unions across the political spectrum, including the Congress-backed Indian National Trade Union Congress, joined the strike. Although there are reports that many in the Congress leadership were not happy over the turn of events, Mr. Dasgupta said the government cannot ignore the voice of the people.

Mr. Mukherjee, who is the principal political manager for the UPA government, promised to hold the meeting after the presentation of the budget, Mr. Dasgupta said

A kind reference is invited to the proposal of introduction RSBY for GDS employees as intimated vide your letter under reference. We had proposed certain improvements in the proposed scheme keeping in view the ground realities prevailing in the rural area where the GDS employees work vide our letter no dated 24.02.2010 and 8.08.2011 Since then nothing has been heard and we donot know the fate of the proposal.

 

You will kindly agree that the low paid GDS employees urgently deserve some scheme for provision of health services. The proposed scheme of RSBY, in its present form with certain improvements as suggested by us is a right step in providing health services to the GDS employees, though a small step. We strongly hold the view that every big journey starts with a proposed RSBY was a step in the right direction and should have been brought in place small step taken is the right a direction. With the improvement suggested by us. We are of strong view that this scheme should not be allowed to die a natural death.

 

We, therefore, request you kindly to vitalize the proposal in the interest of the employees. We shall always be available to offer further inputs as and when required.

 

An expeditious action is requested.
