RESOLUTION
This General Body meeting of the All India Postal Accounts
Employees Association, Odisha Circle,
Cuttack held on 08-03-16 strongly condemns the victimization of the Circle Secretary,
AIPAEA, Cuttack, for his legitimate trade union activities. The punitive action
of the DA (P) Cuttack is nothing but his personal vendetta being meted out on
the prejudiced and unfounded belief that the Association is responsible for the
anonymous complaints alleging several financial irregularities against him.
Holding bimonthly meetings and informal meetings with the Staff
Side is a taboo in his regime. Even after intervention from the Directorate,
till date bimonthly meetings with the DA(P) are not restored. The only channel
of communication left out for the Association is addressing letters on the
issues of Staff. For utilizing this lone channel of communication the Circle
Secretary of Cuttack PAO has been victimized by awarding a punishment of
withholding next increment for a period of three years without cumulative
effect.
The charges are:
· Circle
Secretary addressed a letter to DA (P) bypassing his own channel of
communication.
· Addressing
a letter to the DA(P) Cuttack in the capacity of Circle Secretary; starting the
letter by saying “ I am directed to address you on the following issues” while
actually concealing the authority by whom he was so directed, said Sri. Panda
has tried to bring outside influence over the DA(P), Cuttack in violation of
provisions in Rule 20 of CCS(Conduct) Rules, 1964.” ;
· Marking
a copy of that letter to the General Secretary (CHQ) AIPAEA;
· Placing
the Association letter on the notice board (office, Recreation Club,
Association and individuals using that board for about half-a-decade);
· The
style of language used therein;
This
General Body is shocked to comprehend that the personal vendetta of an
authority can also be stretched to such an extent to punish
the Staff Side representative for discharging his duties. It is aghast to
realize that the provisions of CCS (Conduct) Rules can also be interpreted to
fit any frivolous subjective imagination to ruin the career, humiliate and
harass the employees/Staff Side representatives. This General Body firmly
believes that the root cause for the enrage of the DA (P) on the
Staff Side is his fit of imagination that the Staff Association is responsible
for the anonymous complaint against the DA (P). This General body strongly
condemns the use of authority arbitrarily to wreck personal revenge.
This
General Body sincerely believes that the employees of Cuttack PAO are not safe
any more under the control of such unbridled enraged Director who has spent
long tenure in the same Circle. This General Body fervently appeals:
· To take
all necessary action to contain the DA (P), Cuttack and save the
employees from his
fury.
· To
inquire into victimization of the Circle Secretary, AIPAEA, Cuttack.
· To undo
the punishment given to the Circle Secretary, AIPAEA, Cuttack.
· To
immediately cause proper investigation and proper enquiry against
all the financial
irregularities of the DA (P), Cuttack.
