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.

From Foreign Press on the India Post Bank
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."
