=========================================
Respected Sir,Here is a proposal of merger of Inspectors and Asst. Supdts. Cadre into one with Grade Pay 4600/- under consideration of the department. Department wants consent of Postal officers Association and All India Association of Inspector and Asst Supdts.
I have discussed with Sh. S. Samuel General Secretary of Inspector and Asst Supdt. who is against the merger and that Association wants Grade pay 4600 for Inspector, 4800 Grade Pay for ASPOs and 5400 Grade Pay in PB-2 for PS Group B w.e.f. 01-01-2006.
Postal officers Association Core committee is likely to meet in New Delhi on 25-12-2009 for consideration of different views and to take some decision.
You are requested to consider following and e-mail your considered views.
1) Whether you are in favour of merger, if yes.
2) Whether IPOs + ASPOs should be merged or ASPOs + PS Group B should be merged.
3) What should be the consequences of the merger and what would be the solution there of.
4) What grade pay should be for IPO/ASPO/PS Group B/ JTS etc
5) Any other additional information, which is considered essential?
The matter is very much crucial. Please consult your fellow members in depth and e- mail your reply latest by 24th any time so that the same may be taken into account on 25th.
Thanking you
Whatever should be done, must be done immediately. I am of the view that the Grade Pay of IPOs must be increased to Rs. 4600/- without any further delay. All the Inspectors of other cadre who are selected through SSC got Rs. 4600/- as their GP w.e.f. 1.1.2006. Only IPOs are left. Strike the iron while it is hot. The matter of GP should not be withheld any more.
ReplyDeleteImmediate action to merge the cadre is requested as it would fetch benefits in due course.
ReplyDeleteThe merger of IP and ASP is to be taken without any further delay. THis will give ample scope for a person to work in and around one's own area for his entire service. The benefit arising out of asking separate GP for IP/ASP ie 4600/4800 is less than that of merger entity's GP ie 4600. We should go for merger at any cost. It will be benefiaial in MCAP in due course. N Prakash, IP Walajapet SDN (TN)
