(Association under dep’t. Of posts)


Ref no.- IP SBCO [circular [02/08]

TO,
Circle secretary/conveners/ CWC members /& SBCO staff

Dear friends,
Struggle for survival- Recognition process through membership check off system
Vide DTE no.- 13/4/07 SR dated 26TH MARCH2008 process is started. We have to submit maximum membership in the prescribed declaration forms to DDO`S / P.M. / SR.P.M.s within 10th of june2008. This time we have to choose only “Indian Postal SBCO Staff Association” membership to maintain our status as superior position in Post Bank of India proposal / to get audit status which is in process through only this association. Only this association has all India policy to protect SBCO staff with its identity & better future for SBCO staff as one of the federal association. It is involved in 6th pay commission for first time and put up our proposal in two/three meetings with 6th CPC. For our all proposal NFPE has apposed & tried every time to abolish SBCO or to control over SBCO staff by avoiding its superiority. It must be noted, because this time even NFPE has submitted its SBCO union as ”all India postal SBCO employees association” [NFPE] to cover SBCO membership of its own. NFPE has never supported SBCO issues since TBOP/BCR/HSGI, pay status etc. but every time we have to face its policy to get succeed. Even after its future & identity. This time NFPE through this association is trying to misguide SBCO staff by its resembled name with AISBCE union one recognized union. It has no any all India status only on paper as recognized. In all issues TBOP/BCR/HSG1, 6TH CPC, to protect SBCO staff in fraud cases, suspension cases, transfer issues etc. it is nowhere. So we have to choose only INDIAN POSTAL SBCO STAFF ASSOCIATION as our association to fill up membership forms.
Suppose it is struggle for our survival. If we win we will survive if failed we will be lost. So be ready for mission of our survival through recognition for our achievement in our goal/ target. Best luck to all of you for this mission. We hope you will prepare yourselves for this battle.
