Orissa Circle, Bhubaneswar-751001.

Sub- Irregular order once again vide CO letter no TO/3-8/2010 dated 02-05-2012 directing the divisions to send SPMs of “C” class offices for getting training on operation of Honda Portable gen set at Cuttack GPO on 06-05-2012 (Sunday).

Respected Sir,
This Circle Union is very much shocked to see above arbitrary order from CO directing divisions for sending SPMs of “C” class POs to undergo training on operation of Honda Poratable Gensets, arranged at Cuttack GPO Recreation club on 06-05-2012 (Sunday). We want to lodge our strong protest against such order as operation of Gen sets is not coming under zone of work of SPMs and such order should be dispensed with immediately.
                Further, it is quite deviation to Directorate instructions contained in letter no 16/56/2011-SR dated 08-07-2011 wherein it was clearly stated not to direct staffs to attend to works on Sundays/ holidays. It was one of the agenda items in the indefinite strike against calling of staffs to works on Sundays/holidays and the above order was issued after negotiations made between staff side & administrative side. But, again this type of order has been issued by CO administration in contradiction to Directorate’s order has created great resentment of staff.
               It is therefore appealed for strict implementation of Directorate’s instructions and to kindly arrange for cancellation of the above order to avert strong resentment of staff at all levels.
Soliciting immediate response.
WITH REGARDS.

Yours faithfully
(R.C.Mishra)
Circle Secretary

 Banking on ways to save postal service

Talk about killing two birds with one stone; here’s an idea that can take down a whole flock.
It’s called postal banking, and it could help rescue the Postal Service, make banks nicer to the little guy, raise the national savings rate and cut the cost of financing the national deficit.
This is not a new idea. A vast array of nations from Germany to India offer their citizens financial services through the post office. We do too, a little, by selling money orders and package insurance. But we used to do much more.
From 1910 to 1967 Uncle Sam ran the Postal Savings System. It paid 2 percent on deposits (which peaked at $3.4 billion in 1947) and reaped 2.5 percent by putting the money into local banks, thus covering the cost of operations. Customers could save as little as 10 cents at a time by filling a postal savings card with stamps and then turning it in for credit.
Consider the possibilities. The Postal Service is in financial trouble partly due to meddling by Congress, but also because the digital revolution is driving down mail volume. Congress wants the place run like a business, but won’t let the service set prices, close money-losing outlets or otherwise be businesslike. The government, meanwhile, backstops the for-profit banking system without charging for this valuable service. These same banks treat low-income customers like pinatas, beating fees out of them at every turn.
The postal banking alternative is old, established and could easily work here. There are post offices all over America, and they already handle lots of cash. Postal deposits could be invested in Treasury securities for ironclad safety, and these new funds would likely reduce Uncle Sam’s cost of borrowing, saving money for taxpayers. Instead of the certificates used by the old Postal Savings System, depositors would get debit cards.
A postal bank could make money in several ways. Users could pay modest fees for checking and other services, and the system could pay out less in interest than it earns on the Treasuries it would buy.
Since the goal isn’t to drive banks out of business, individual accounts could be capped at some appropriately modest sum, and there would be no loans except to Washington. Even so, this new postal competition should force banks to treat their smaller customers a little better — while rescuing many poor Americans from the teeth of costly check-cashing outlets and payday lenders.
Could postal banking be big enough to make a dent in Postal Service deficits? Well, the Japanese postal bank has more than $2 trillion in deposits, and the United States is nearly three times as populous. It’s not inconceivable to imagine an American postal bank throwing off an annual profit of $5 billion, which is what the Postal Service lost in its last fiscal year (although losses seem to be accelerating).
Besides, aiding the Postal Service is the least of the plan’s virtues — and postal banking by itself can’t save the system, which needs to change regardless. More important is that postal banking would put the government once again on the side of encouraging thrift. People with savings don’t need payday lenders, after all. Accumulating capital can help them weather emergencies, start businesses and buy homes.
A postal savings system would give people a trusted place to save right in their own communities, without outrageous fees or sales pitches for tricky products. Postal banking could take its place alongside other cherished non-market institutions, such as Social Security and public libraries, that help Americans help themselves. People love their libraries. Why not let them bank on their Postal Service?

MAY DAY GREETINGS


Is the day to salute pioneers, martyrs and the workers who have braved the trials and tribulations and resolve to unitedly continue the long march towards the total liberation of the working class from the chains that bind them (i.e.) the exploitation.

On 1st May, 1886 the fourth convention of the Federation of organised Trade and Labour Union of the United States adopted a resolution demanding that eight hours only will constitute a day's legal labour.

On May 4th, 1887, a demonstration was held at Hay Market Square (Chicago-USA) to protest against the brutal attack of the workers of MC, Cormack Reaper Works on 3rd May 1887. The police fired and killed. Blood flowed freely on the streets. The Red (Blood) flag was then hoisted as the flag of the working class. August Spice Engels, Fischer and Persons the Workers' leaders were trailed and sent to the gallows on 11th November 1887. August spice who mounted the gallows declared:

"My defence is your accusation, the causes of my alleged crime your history. I say If death is the penalty for proclaiming the truth, I will profoundly and defiantly pay the cost price. Call your hangman."

The heroes who mounted the gallows also declared:

"The time will come when our silence will be more eloquent than our speeches."

We have a lofty and great objective of eliminating, extinguishing and ending exploitation in any form or manner.

In memory of these May Day Martyrs, all over the world, the working class observe the day as the 'Workers Day'. The first May Day was celebrated in 1890 in many countries of the world.

May Day
-- The day of the working class of all claims and countries!
On this Day let us resolve and act-
-- To end all that endangers and erodes the weapons of the working class
-- To efface and exterminate from this earth every trace of exploitation of the working class!
-- To react, resist, rebel, and revolt against all that imposes and defends exploitation!
DEFEAT AND DESTROY EVIL
DEATH TO THE EXPLOITATION.
DESTINY WE WILL DETERMINE.
DOOMS DAY SOON FOR ENEMIES.

OBSERVE 1ST MAY AS MAY DAY BY ORGANISING GATE MEETINGS, RALLIES ETC. AT ALL WORK SPOTS


 
"We mean to make things over;
We tried to tool for naught.
But bare enough to live on;
Never an hour for though.
We want to feel the sunshine;
We want to small the flowers;
We're sure that God has willed it;
And we mean to have eight hours.
We' are summoning our forces from
Ship yard, shop and mill
Eight hours for work, eight hours for rest,
Eight hours for what we will."
