As regards facilities on adjoining Railways, the respective DRMs/CCMs have been informed. The matter is also being pursued with them for quick amelioration of the deficiencies.

In this connection, GS has mentioned that some improvements have taken place during the past six months. GS mentioned that rest house constructed for the TTEs in Mysore was handed over to Running Cadre and the released Running room has been given to TTEs. This is not being maintained upto the mark and is not taken care of by Operating, Mechanical or Electrical departments. He also mentioned that facilities on par with the Running Room should also be extended to TTEs also as per extant instructions of Railway Board. The instructions of Railway Board regarding facilities of cooking food also have not been implemented in SWR. Such facilities are required at Miraj, Vasco, etc. where TTEs are arriving late. GS mentioned that Railway Board is considering creation of posts for maintenance of Rest Room and SWR should send our proposal to Railway Board.

GS mentioned that improvement is seen in Hubli, VSG, and MRJ TTEs rest rooms. At SMET more beds are required and he requested to provide quarters as a temporary measure. At present Running Room and Rest Room is a combined one. He also mentioned that there are no care takers to these rest rooms. GS demanded the administration to provide caretaker to these rest rooms round the clock to ensure proper maintenance. CCM mentioned that the administration will try to outsource this work due to shortage of manpower and it is not feasible to create posts of caretakers exclusively for rest rooms. GS mentioned that Union is totally against the policy of outsourcing but not against temporary outsourcing the work of cleanliness/housekeeping etc. of rest rooms.

He also insisted that Rest Room Committee should inspect the rest rooms along with Trade Union officials.

CCM mentioned that the existing committee will be revamped and a report will be prepared with actionable items to improve the conditions. This exercise will be completed within six months.

GS further pointed out the issue of allotment of building constructed for TTEs rest room in Mysore to Mechanical Department two years back as Running Room and the released running room for use as TTE rest room which is lacking many facilities and maintenance befitting a TTE rest room.

It was also mentioned by GS that only 19 beds are available against the requirement of 30 in the Hubli TTEs Rest room and requested to earmark retiring rooms till permanent arrangements are made. He also mentioned that there is no adequate number of fans and should be provided immediately.

DS/SBC/SWRMU also brought to the notice of CCM regarding problems being faced by our TTEs in Southern Railway at Chennai and Coimbatore where our TTEs are forced to wait till vacation of the occupants.

RESTORATION OF HIGHER GRADE POST SURRENDERED IN BRI UNIT SBC DIVISION.

Time & again this subject is coming for discussion and further review at Headquarter Zonal/PNM this issue was discussed under item No. 16/09 and approved in subsequent PNM meeting preamble agenda although PCE had given a commitment to immediately restore the higher grade post surrendered at BRI unit SBC no tangible action could be seen for the restoring the post the staff who are aspiring for the promotion at the virtue of at their retirement.

During each one of the zonal PNM in the opening address by GS/SWRMU it has been urged to restore the higher grade posts surrendered since the promotional prospects has been very badly affected to serving employees particularly who are virtue of retirement. Despite of our hue & cry administration has did nothing other than giving a vague reply by assuring this Union 52 posts are being created. The BRI staffs are totally lost their faith due to administration delay in creation of posts.

Hence, it is urged to immediately restore the higher grade posts in light of Board’s instructions.M I N U T E S (10/11-07-2013):

The proposal for creation of 14 posts, which were surrendered in Bridge Unit, Bangalore Division, was initially proposed to mitigate the difficulty of staff due to surrender of posts in higher grade as per Railway Board`s letter No. E(MPP) 2009/6/8 dt23.03.2012, to restore the higher grade posts by surrendering the lowest recruitment grade without seeking money value from the vacancy Bank. The proposal is under process for concurrence from the finance.

PCE also explained to the Union that Finance has raised the objection to create the posts as the same were surrendered prior to 06.01.2007 and the current proposal of

of 92

PCE, DRM/SBC

creation of posts will not come in the ambit of Railway Board letter issued during 2012, which advises to restore the higher grade posts immediately duly surrendering the lowest level posts.

GS/SWMU has stated that the letter regarding restoration of higher grade posts was issued during 2012 only, whereas this issue is being discussed since 2009 and earlier PCEs have assured that the higher grade posts will be restored back.

SWRMU was not satisfied with the above position and this issue was discussed in the presence of GM again. GM assured that the matter will be looked into.

M I N U T E S(4/5-02-2014):As per RBE 39/2012 dated 23.03.2012, only the higher grade posts surrendered after 06.03.2007 can be restored surrendering the posts in the lowest recruitment grade from the cadre. In the above case, the posts were surrendered on 29.03.2006. Hence restoration of these posts could not be done. However a proposal has been sent to Sr.DFM/SBC on 03.01.2014 for concurrence for creation of 28 work-charged posts (MCM-1, Revitter Gr.I-3, Revitter Gr.II-2, Revitter Gr.III-1, Welder GR.I–2, Welder Gr.II–1, Welder Gr.III-1 and Helper-17 posts. Total – 28 posts).

GS/SWRMU has not agreed for creation of work-charged posts, since Bridge cadre is permanent and this subject was referred to the General Manager. General Manager has assured that action will be taken to create some of the revenue posts, which are considered essential after identifying equivalent matching surrender.

M I N U T E S (9/10-07-2014)It was mentioned that proposal for creation of 16 number of Ex.Cadre posts is under process in SBC Division, but Accounts has not agreed for the same as the Bridge cadre is a permanent one and work charged posts cannot be created.

This issue has been deliberated in the presence of General Manager also on 10.07.2014. General Manager advised FA&CAO and PCE to look into the matter once again within the frame work of rules.

GS has pointed out that in case the posts are not being created at Zonal level, a letter may be given to the Union so that they can take up the matter at Federation level, since the higher grade posts were surrendered against the instructions of Railway Board, which is hampering the promotional prospects of existing employees.

M I N U T E S(30/31-10-2014)Proposals for creation of 16 additional posts were submitted for concurrence to Sr.DFM/SBC. However, only 14 posts were concurred. The proposal for creation of additional posts was sent to FA&CAO. FA&CAO had raised queries regarding the veracity of distribution of posts in tandem with the revised redistribution of posts after cadre restructuring which was required to be confirmed by Sr.DFM/SBC. Sr.DPO/SBC has submitted a reply to the points raised by Sr.DFM/SBC vide letter No. B/P.135/CP/Engg/SBC dated 22.10.2014. The proposal is pending with Sr.DFM/SBC and once it is cleared by Sr.DFM/SBC this will be again sent to FA&CAO for concurrence. M I N U T E S(30-12.2014)The basic demand is for restoration of higher grade posts. However, comprehensive proposal sent to Accounts was including Khalasi/Welders also. Engineering Department has been advised to process creation of higher grade posts of Rivetter and Blacksmith which were surrendered.

The induction of supervisors to Railways was being done through RRBs from the Diploma holders as Apprentice Mechanics with two years and the graduates as Apprentice Charge man ‘A’ with one year training.

These Apprentice Mechanics became Chargeman ‘B’ and Apprentice Chargeman ‘A’ became Chargeman ‘A’ after their satisfactory completion of training up to the year 1986 in the mechanical cadre After 1986, the diploma holders were inducted as Junior Engineer Gr.II trainees and Graduates were inducted as Section Engineer Trainees (Dy.SS). The hierarchy of technical supervisors in mechanical cadre was as under up to the 5th CPC:

JE-II JE-I SE SSE From 6th CPC, the hierarchy has been revised as: JE SSE

While implementing the recommendations of 6th CPC, the two grades viz: JE-I & JE-II have been merged as JE with GP 4200 in PB-2 and SE & SSE have been merged as SSE with GP 4600 in PB-2. This merging has been done without visualizing the fate of technical graduates inducted during the 3rd CPC.During the implementation of MACP, the financial upgradation for technical graduates appointed as Apprentice Chargeman ‘A’ should have been started from GP 4800 for first MACP, 5400 for second MACP and finally 6600 for third MACP.Because of not going into the details of the qualification of engineers during merging, it has resulted in some of the graduate engineers recruited as JE-I to loose one financial up gradation their career.M I N U T E S (10/11-07-2013):Chargemen ‘A’ were inducted in Rs.550-750 Scale in the 3rd PC, which was revised to Rs.5500-9000 in Vth PC and replaced by GP of Rs.4200 in the 6 th PC. The MACP entitlement will be regulated accordingly. SWRMU mentioned that only 2 MACPs have been accorded instead of 3 MACPs. Relevant details will be submitted by the Union and it will be examined further.M I N U T E S(4/5-02-2014):Union mentioned that direct recruitment of Chargemen ‘A’ was in Rs.550-750 Scale in the 3rd PC. Subsequently the direct recruitment quota was upgraded to 6500-10500 in V PC equivalent to GP 4600 in VI PC. Thus those who were appointed in Rs.550-750 Scale in the 3rd PC should get MACP to GP 4800, 5400 and 6600. DS/Workshop has agreed to furnish details of such cases. On receipt of the same, it will be examined further.

M I N U T E S (9/10-07-2014)One case of Sri.Keshvan,SSE/MYSS (now retired) has been given by DS/SWRMU/MYSSS. Details of the case have been called from MYSS for examination. One more case of C.S.Ramesh SSE/Elect/MYSS was given by Divisional Secretary Mysore in the meeting

MEDICAL HEALTH UNIT TO HQ OFFICE (NEW GM OFFICE)

The S.W.Rly zone started functioning since 2003 onwards. The HQ Office New GM Office building located at Gadag Road, Hubli. Offices: CPO, CCM, CSTE, Raja Bhasha Office, CEE, Statistical, CSO, CSC, FA&CAO & COS have been already functioning and shortly CME & COM Offices are going to come to New GM Office building. This HQ Office located centre of GSD and EMD Shed. HQ staff strength is nearly 500 employees, EMD shed Staff strength is nearly 600 employees and GSD staff strength is nearly 300 employees. All together total strength is coming nearly to 1500 employees in this location. Whereas no any health unit is available in these work place. There is a very difficulty in emergency to take first aid in duty hours if anything’s happened and Railway colony also available at same place. The Central Railway Hospital is away for more than 3 kilometers from these three offices and no any frequent bus facilities or Auto Rickshaws facilities.

In view of the above circumstance, the Union urges to take immediate step to open a Health Unit at New GM office building to overcome the problems in the office hours as well as railway family & children’s.

M I N U T E S (10/11-07-2013):CMD mentioned that CMS/UBL (Division) has been advised to look into the matter and put up a proposal as per the needs.

During the discussions, CMD was of the opinion to close the Health Unit at MTS colony and shift the same to HQ building, for which SWRMU has not agreed, since around 100 families are visiting the MTS Health unit daily. CMD suggested that the feasibility of working of Health Unit at GM’s office and MTS colony for three days each in a week will be looked into. CMD invited suggestions from GS/SWRMU on the action to be taken.

M I N U T E S(4/5-02-2014):During the discussions, GS/SWRMU has mentioned that Health Unit was opened in the Hubli Divisional Office without consulting the organized labour and the same was closed on their questioning, putting the blame on the Union. CMD mentioned that the Health Unit at Hubli Divisional Office was opened without the approval of CMD.

CMD suggested that the feasibility of working of Health Unit at GM’s office and MTS colony for three days each in a week will be looked into by CMS/UBL, since all the Health Units are under the Control of CMS.

M I N U T E S (9/10-07-2014)

CMD has mentioned that arrangements can be made that the doctor of Health Unit/MTS may be deputed to HQ for half a day. But, GS has strongly objected and told that that existing working pattern of Health Units, especially at MTS colony should not be disturbed and suggested that the doctors available at Central Hospital may be deputed to Headquarters office, which will cater to the needs of EMD Shed as well as GSD.

CMD, DRM/UBL

CMD has further mentioned that the suggestion of GS will be examined and accordingly a decision will be taken.

M I N U T E S(30/31-10-2014)

APPOINTMENT ON SPORTS GROUNDS (SWRMU’s letter dated 20.08.2013 to GM/SWR/UBL)

The Railway Board has allotted for 2012-13, 55 posts can be appointed on sports grounds, whereas only 6 are appointed and for 2013-14 also allotted 55 posts but so far no process for filling up of the same. Because of new candidates not appointing in sports quota, our Railway is not getting good places in sports since the old people only available. If the quota is not filled in the same year, it will lapse.

Sports people are also complaining that they are having 15.00 hours relief for practice but in some areas they are not at all relieving them to go for practice in the evening at 1500 hours for which Board’s instructions already available. Some remote places like CLR, the sportspersons are forcing because there is no any facility available in such a gnat places.

One or Two sportspersons (body building) have got award in the International Body Building event, such people should be encouraged by giving some award.

Divisions recruitment also, in all the divisions the quotas are not filled up including Workshops.

So, the union urges to help the poor sportsmen for serving to the Railways, if they are qualifying. Suitable instructions be given to the concerned officers in this regard to fill up the quota fully

M I N U T E S(4/5-02-2014):It was stated that all concerned are advised for relief of sports persons for practice. Railway Board’s policy of giving increments to sports persons for excellence in sports is being followed. For filling up the sports quota, necessary process is initiated.

During the discussions, GS/SWRMU has highlighted that 55 posts allotted under Sports quota to SW Railway has not been filled and moreover there is no provision to carry forward these posts for the ensuing year. Hence, he requested to initiate action within the stipulated time every year so that vacancies under Sports Quota can be filled up. Further, the sports persons should not be posted in shift duties especially in Commercial and Operating Departments as they are not able to go to practice.

CME mentioned that efforts will be made to fill up the quota. Posting of sports persons will be kept on watch. SWRMU is welcome to bring out any specific case for needful action.M I N U T E S (9/10-07-2014)It was mentioned that the notification will be issued shortly.

GS/SWRMU mentioned that Union has not been kept informed about the recruitment of sports quota and in this connection CPO assured that a copy of notification will be made available to Union, once it is issued. He further demanded that the notification may be published on website of SWR.

M I N U T E S(30-12.2014)

Notification has been issued, calling applications for filling up 46 posts against sports quota. Position was informed to GS/SWRMU vide letter No.SWR/P.694/SWRMU/25 th

PNM dated 23.12.2014.

GS/SWRMU mentioned that:

(1) Recruitment of Sports persons should be made to team sports like Cricket, Hockey etc instead of that to single discipline which will strengthen our existing teams. It was mentioned that the suggestion given by SWRMU will be taken note of for future recruitments.

(2) The present bata of Rs.50 paid to sports persons is not sufficient and it should be increased to Rs.300 per day. It was informed to Union that the feasibility of increasing the bata will be examined.

(3) Facilities in sports ground should be improved. It was informed to Union that the sports ground will be improved.

(4) The Union should be associated in the decision making process for improving of sports and their suggestion should be taken.

For the last two years, the grant received from Railway Board is only to the extent of 6.0 lakhs and the earnings from the ground rentals is also limited.

M I N U T ES(28/29.05.2015)

(1) All the requirements of teams have been taken and efforts are made to strengthen teams. In talent scouting and open advertisement, cricket, hockey, volleyball, swimming, Athletics have been included to ensure SWR continuous winning streak.

(2) Present rates are being paid by SWRSA with limited fund availability. It is difficult to organize higher rates. For teams in first 6 places, DA is being paid for tournament period. Hence based on funds availability, the increasing rate may have to be considered.

(3) At SBC Ground facilities have been improved. At UBL, private security arrangements for ensuring protection and prevention of trespass are being processed.

GS mentioned that last year quota allotted by the Railway Board has not been fully utilized and was lapsed. This is because of the failure of the administration in not calling the volunteers in time before 31st March. He also mentioned that

In view of this the Hubli division is facing shortage of Welfare Inspectors and the compassionate appointment reports are delayed badly. The available staff are overburdened with work. Because of the delay in finalizing the matter, the vacancies could not be filled and no further selections could be held. This subject I have also discussed with your goodself.

It is requested to kindly take appropriate decision on the above subject, early.M I N U T E S (9/10-07-2014)

(a) (C L O S E D)

(b) (C L O S E D)

(c) Sri. Mohammed H. Butler Loco Pilot/UBL was sent for PME on 31-5-2005 after conducting all the required Medical investigation it was detected that he had problem in his heart and the Central Hospital/UBL directed him to Rly Hospital/Perambur in Southern Railway .and the report was positive and he is not fit for Loco pilot post and the doctors at CH/UBL decided to make him unfit for drivers post on 26-4-2005. However unfit certificate was issued on 20-7-2005 no obvious reasons and after Medically decategorized Mohammed H. Butler had voluntarily retired seeking CG appointment to his son Mohammed Sharif but the administration did not consider his request taking that 5 years left over service should be there from the date of decategorization. Hence this union would like to highlight that the medical board had already taken a decision that the employee is unfit for driver’s post on 26.4-2005 but the unfit certificate was issued on 20-7-2005. The party is eligible for CG as he is having 5 years service from the date of decision taken that he is not taken to duty ie, 26-4-2005 and in this connection CMS has given a clear letter No. M/MD/84/Md. HB/12 dated : 2-8-2012 .

So this union urges to consider the Compassionate ground appointment.

appointment of her son Mr. T.J.Nithin Sagar on attaining majority ie. On or after 26.7.2012. Accordingly, when the widow has sought for appointment on compassionate grounds vide her appln dt. 30.7.2012, ie immediately on attaining majority by her son and without sending him for further education, in view of financial difficulties she was facing. But, her request has been rejected stating that her financial condition is satisfactory since she was working as Teacher in the Govt.Primary School. Her earnings as school teacher is not sufficing her needs to look after the education of her daughter and she has incurred loans for treatment of cancer. She herself is suffering from perennial health problems and spending nearly 2000/- per month for treatment. She has incurred loans to the tune of 11 lakhs for treatment and most of the settlement amounts has been used for clearing the same and now left with no cash on hand. She has also taken loan from SBI 12.5 lakhs for constructing a small house with one floor in outskirts of the city and being lone woman with 2 minor children, she has asked her cousin to stay in the first floor for her protection. She is not getting any income ( rent) from the house. Further there is no income from the ancestral property of uncultivated land. As the widow is also aged and suffering from perennial health problems and the teacher job is not of permanent nature and the children are too young, there will be none to look after them in case of her death. Hence, the case is genuine since the finance condition is not satisfactory. Therefore the union urges to offer appointment on compassionate grounds immediately to Mr. Nithin Sagar, S/o Late Sri. T.S.Jayappa, ex.Hd.TE/CTI/O/DVG MYS divn.

Since then no such selections have been held ever. As the administration is aware that the new RRC candidates are well educated and having graduation qualification even in some of them are master graduates and they are working as group ‘D’ employees.

REVISING THE CREW CHANGE OVER POINT FROM GTL TO DMM

From the inception of SBC Division the Crew was working up to DMM & back. During 2009, SBC Division administration have made a experiment to change the crew change over point from DMM to GTL & DHNE. As the administration is aware the Running Staff are coming under continuous roster classification (8 hrs) some of the following trains the working hours is more than 8 hrs.

T.No.12786, 11302 & 12649 etc.

Apart from the above the Loco Pilots are forced to adhere two different railways G&RS in a single train movement working for more than 8 hrs at a stretch and further out station rest more than 24 hrs is nothing but waste of man hours of the crew. The Loco Pilots are making a hue and cry with the administration to reduce the working hours of Running Staff by the way of changing the crew change over point from GTL to DMM to avoid stress and strain for the most sensitive/safety cadre. The actual working hours to DMM works out to 5 hrs. The basic criteria to reckon the working hours of the Running Staff is average fortnightly working hours. Prior to extension of crew change over point the average working hours was not less than 96 hrs for fortnightly even after extended crew run also it works out to same hrs. Actually speaking due to outstation detention for a longer hours is causing loss of man hours the same crew can be utilized for working return train with minimum outstation rest to avoid outstation stay for longer hours.

As per the SPAD minutes circulated vide Boards Letter 2004/M(L)/466/7101 dated: 14.06.2012 part ‘B’ para 6 reads “Links should be made in such a way so that not more than 2 to 3 continuous nights, all efforts should be made to reduce the working hours for 6 hours duty during 22.00 hrs to 06.00 hrs”.

PROBLEMS OF LOCO RUNNING STAFF OF SBC DIVISION

(a) Difficulties of SBC Running Staff in working both the tractions i.e. Diesel & Electrical (AC).

In terms of instructions contained in Boards Letter No.2004/M(L)/466/7101 dated: 14.06.2012 the minutes of the meeting of SPAD section ‘C’ para 13 mentions that “Driver Should work in one traction Diesel or AC Electrical. Whereas SBC Division Loco Pilot and Assistant Loco Pilot’s are working in a dual traction i.e. both Electrical and Diesel which is creating lot of inconvenience and confusion for Loco Running Staff while working the trains. Apart from this the Loco Running Staff man power is getting wasted in the event of deputing the LP/ALP for regular refresher course in both i.e. Electrical & Diesel. As the age catches out the memory of individual get reduced. Added to the above problems, amongst electrical locomotives there are different verities in electrical locomotives i.e. (WAM4, WAP, WAG5A, WAG7, WAP7, WAP9) and in Diesel Loco’s (WDM2, WDM3D, WDM3A, WDG3A, WDG4, WDP4, WDP4B). Hence, this union urges to make a separate link for Electrical AC & Diesel and exclusively book the staff separately for Electrical & Diesel.

(b) Conducting selections for Instructors at STC/SBC.

The Running Staff drafted from the cadre at SBC Division to work as instructor at STC has been done on pick and choose basis without conducting regular selection procedure by calling volunteers. All the incumbents who are presently working as instructor at STC/SBC from Loco Running Cadre are long standing and they are working beyond the specified tenure of three years, this has blocked the promotional opportunity of other eligible deserving capable Running Staff opportunity to work in the Ex cadre post. Hence, this union urges to conduct regular selections duly calling for the volunteers to select the

instructors and repatriate the incumbents who were drafted on temporary measure without any selection module.

M I N U T E S(30/31-10-2014)( a ) SBC Division consists both tractions i.e.AC and Diesel. All the running staff are

trained in both the tractions and booked to work trains after imparting training in each traction to provide feasibility in operation.

(b ) Syllabus is being revised and notification for selection of instructors in STS/SBC will be issued shortly.

M I N U T E S(30-12.2014)

(a) Staff are booked to work trains after imparting training in both Diesel and Traction to ensure feasibility in operations.

(b) Notification for selection of 08 posts of Instructors at STC/SBC issued vide CPO/SWR/UBL office letter No. SWR/P.608/IV/Mech/Ex.Cadre/Vol.III dated 17.11.2014. Position informed to GS/SWRMU vide letter No.SWR/P.694/SWRMU/25th PNM Dated 24.12.2014

GS mentioned that training is not given regularly in electric traction. CWE mentioned that efforts should be made to train maximum number of crew in Electrical Traction preferably as per seniority so that flexibility in operations and booking of crew as per the order can be resorted to for running both the tractions. DRM will take a decision after consulting the union in this regard.

In every given opportunity this union has been making a submission in each forum to create new posts for new assets. However this union submission has been deaf heard by the administration and no tangible action could be seen with regards to creation of posts in the Ticket Checking cadre. Day by day the Train Services are getting augmented and the workload on Ticket Checking staff has been increased in manifold due to introduction of new Train Services. Each TTE is forced to man more than 4 to 5 coaches out going trains and 5 to 6 coaches incoming trains. Many incoming trains are reaching destination in unmanned condition due to shortage of Ticket Checking staff. Currently SBC Division is Running 56 trains and 643 coaches. The existing staff strength is as under.

Sanctions Actuals Vacancy 548 493 55 As per railway Board yardstick each TTE have to man two coaches if it is vestibule and one coach in case of non vestibule. However these yardsticks have got revised arbitrarily vide railway boards letter No.97/TG-V/13/3,dt:14/3/2014 to three sleeper coaches and three AC coaches. Even accepting the revised yardstick under protest the requirement is 691 coaches including LR/RG there by a clear shortage of

around 200 Ticket Checking Staff. Now the current situation is alarming position and administration should awake and take steps to create and fill up the post in war footing.

M I N U T E S(30/31-10-2014)Railway Board have sanctioned 80 posts to SWR in TE cadre out of 161 posts proposed leaving a deficit of 81 posts. These 80 posts have been redistributed to divisions as SBC-35; UBL-30 and MYS-15. In addition Creation of 143 staff (UBL-37,SBC-28 & MYS-78) in TE cadre is under process.

M I N U T E S(30-12.2014)

It was mentioned to the Union that creation of 143 posts is under process in Divisions. GS mentioned that that whenever new trains are introduced, posts are not being filled up to the extent of new assets. He further mentioned that the subject pertains to Bangalore Division and correct position should be given projecting the requirement as per the yard stick.

M I N U T E S(28/29.05.2015)

The proposals are under process for creation of 143 staff over 03 divisions (UBL-37, SBC-28 & MYS-78) in the TTE cadre. GS mentioned that creation of posts of TTEs is not sufficient as per the work load. He also mentioned that Railway Board agreed to allot one TTE for 3 three coaches in the Railway Board PNM. The order will come soon.

CCM has mentioned that the proposals for creation of posts in Ticket Checking Staff will be expedited. GS has mentioned that review of Ticket Checking Staff should be carried out as in the case of Running Staff every year along with AC accompanying staff.

CPO, DRM/SBC

Naik was turned down by DRM stating the reasons that case doesn’t deserve any Compassion for CG appointment.

The above cases are most deserving cases for simple reasons compassion have been denied at divisional level. Hence, this union submits to review the above case and render justice by the way of showing compassion to the family to mitigate the economical hardship and earn their lively hood to maintain the family ex Railwaymen who died in harness.

M I N U T E S(30/31-10-2014)

The CGA case file of Sri Sugali Seetharam Naik, S/o late Sugali Anje Naik was regretted at Divisional level as the deceased employee was absent since 1994 and was not paid salary due to absence and subsequently expired on 26.4.10 which obviously means that he & his family was not dependent on the Railway.

Accordingly, Smt. Hanime Bai, W/o late Sugali Anje Naik, was advised of the same vide this Office ltr No.BP.268/CGA/2/12/7 (San-10) dated 08/04/14.

The same was communicated to the CGA candidate also. But, the CGA candidate has submitted unwillingness to join as TNC and after two years, he has submitted his willingness to join as TNC, but the same was not agreed to.

GS/SWRMU requested for review of these cases.

M I N U T E S(30-12.2014)

GM decided that DRM/SBC may have a relook of these cases.

M I N U T E S(27/28.05.2015):

In terms of instructions contained in Boards Letter No.79/H-2-1/13 dated 10.11.1981 as per the yardstick the requirement of Staff Nurse at Railway Hospital Bangalore is 36 whereas the posts available is only 17 thereby a clear requirement of 19 posts. CMS vide their letter No.B/MDEst/2007 dated: 27.04.2007 have communicated to CMD/SWR duly sending the proposal concurred by Associated Finance vide their letter No.P135/SBC/EF/Med dated: 24.04.2007 for creation of 17 posts. It is appears that there is no follow up action at Headquarters level with regards to creation of posts nor any communication have been sent to SBC Division in the subject matter. The Railway Hospital Bangalore is a 50 bedded hospital and the bed occupancy is more than 100%. Due to shortage of Staff Nurse the Medical Department is constrained not to extent the required no of staff nurses in the in the ward/OP and other areas.

Hence, this union urges to create the 19 staff nurse posts as proposed by SBC Division to cater proper medical facilities to Railway men and their wards including RELHS members.

M I N U T E S(30/31-10-2014)As per the yardstick the posts of nursing staff at RH/SBC are sufficient. The requirement of additional staff will be included in the proposal for upgrading of RH/SBC from 50 beds to 100 beds.

There are 263 such gates where gatemen are being deployed temporarily. It was indicated that tenders were invited for deployment of Rail Mitras at these gates. However the rates quoted in response to the tender are too high and hence tenders could not be finalized. It was indicated that the Divisions will be advised to provide temporary shelter at these Unmanned gates.

NON-TRANSPARENCY IN THE FUNCTIONING OF RRC :

What is the position of vacancies correctly is not placed and also they are conducting selections, there is no transparency. Totally we are having doubt on the outside agency which is allotting the question paper system and the booklets. After the panel succeeding both tests ie. The 50% people was deleted from the offer of appointments. Wherever, the SWRMU asking some clarifications, it is not answered properly. So it shows everything is kept in dark and not in transparency to the union.

As such, the union urge that RRC to function should be fully transparent and this kind of rejecting the candidates after qualifying in both the tests is not appreciated by the union. The extra 20% taken should be taken care off atleast in next notification, the retirement vacancies and anticipated vacancies are not taken correctly. Due to which more than 4000 vacancies available continuously even after RRC started functioning. How will these 4000 vacancies be filled up and the railwaymen are put to hardship.

M I N U T E S(30/31-10-2014)Railway Recruitment Cell (RRC), SWR, Hubli is functioning as per the guidelines issued by Railway Board vide letter No.E(NG)II/96/RR-1/62 dated 18.07.2005 (RBE No.121/2005).

In terms of Para 4 of the Railway Board’s letter, the RRC will notify the vacancies through Employment Notification by open advertisement through leading National and local News papers as per the requirement submitted through Headquarter by the Divisions/Units. The conduction of RRC exams will be as per the guidelines at para 6.0 to 6.11 of the said Railway Board’s letter.

As per the guidelines of Railway Board issued vide letter No. E(NG)II/96/RR-1/62 dated 29.09.2005/03.10.2005 (RBE No.166/2005) in Substitution to para 7.5 of RBE No.121/2005, it is mentioned as under:

(i) If the number of vacancies is less than or equal to 1500 (One thousand five hundred), number persons to be called for PET should be 04 (four) times; and

(ii) If the number of vacancies is greater than 1500 (One thousand five hundred), the number of persons called for PET should be 3 (three) times the notified vacancies.

Since the number of candidates qualifies being over 80% from amongst those called for PET, there could be more than 50% candidates not considered for empanelment after PET. Further it is mentioned that, there is no provision for considering the candidates who were called for document verification against 20% over and above the notified number of vacancies for empanelment against the vacancies notified in the next notification.

THE RAILWAY QUARTERS, STREET LIGHTS & ROADS ARE VERY POORLY MAINTAINED IN DIVISIONAL HEADQUARTERS AND WAY SIDE RAILWAY ACCOMMODATIONS

Poor maintenance of railway accommodations. The accommodations provided to Group-C & D staff, the total in the SW Rly is in inhuman living conditions. In rainy season lot of railway accommodations are badly leaking, immediately they are not attending the repairs, roads repairs very very bad conditions in Hubli Down Chawl, Cement Chawl, Vidyaranyanagar, Vinobanagar, Rail Nagar, MTS Colony, Mantur Road, Street lights 80 to 90% lights are not in burning conditions. IN these conditions the railwaymen families should live unhealthy conditions affecting various diseases like Malaria, Chikun Gunaria, etc., due to mosquitoes, since colonies are not kept clean. Why because all this is privatized and staff strength is brought down heavily this could not be maintained properly. Remedial action is required immediately to safe guard the interests of railwaymen working round the clock and railwaymen families, children should not suffer on account of total failure of administration. Recently, I have brought to the notice of our GM/SWR, particularly here the Colony Committees are not functioning and if at all functioning at one or two places, some of the supervisors or officers are not attending.

There was a proposal to fill up the vacancies of Helper in Artisan category in pay band Rs.5200-20200+1800(GP) in WORKS SIDE (IOW) by inviting applications from Trackmen/Gateman/Trolley man/Store Watchman of Civil Engineering Department of MYS Division duly denying chances to employees working in pay band 5200-20200+1800 (G.P.) of WORKS BRANCH OF SAME ENGINEERING BRANCH OF MYS DIVISION. The general opinion of supervisors of works, ADENs and Sr.DEN/Co-ord/Mys is that a chance is to be given to Khalasi/Helper working in WORKS UNIT (IOW) only as they do not have avenue for promotion other than to progress in artisan category. Now the trackmen of the civil engineering Department is having enough promotional avenue as TRACKMAINTAINER I, II, III, & 1V.Hence this UNION demands to fill-up these vacancies by calling volunteers from WORKS SIDE(IOW ) .

POH of all these coaches involve components/equipments ranging from 24 volts to 750 volts. For the effective management of procurement of various parts and components, shop finds it very difficult with the limited powers of DEE.

A. Change of classification of Rosters for WFD, BWT & KPN/TSS staff – TRD Department.

Up to 2010 the TSS staffs at above places have been performing 08.00 hrs duty on continues roster. The rosters have been arbitrarily changed from ‘C’ to EI without any factual job analysis. The practical scenario of the JTJ section are having more no of train services as compared to 2010. The TSS staffs are finding extreme difficult to man the double section with EI rosters. Hence, this union urges to revert back ‘C’ rosters 08.00 hrs for TSS staff of JTJ section.

B. Posting of One additional staff for manning SSP & TSS.

Apart from down grading the rosters of SSP & TSS staff, the staff strength also have been reduced from two to one. Previously two staff’s were being posted for manning duties. Now it has been curtailed to only one staff. During the failures one individual cannot attend and restore the failure, Between JTJ and MAS Electrification two staffs are working i.e. 1+1 on 08.00 hrs roster. Hence, this union urges to post one additional staff for manning SSP & TSS.

REPORT FOR SURRENDERING OF POSTS IN THE ECRC CADRE SBC DIVISION.

Vide SDGM, Letter No:G 276/WSSWR/2014-15 dt:7-11-14 has been communicated to SBC Division to surrender 66 posts of ECRC’s including 7 posts of CRS consequent to proposed out sourcing of cash collection duties. In this connection this union strongly resists any such arbitrary decision to surrender even a single post in any cadre without consulting organized labour in the subject matter as referred in the Railway Board Letter No. E(MPP)2009/6/8 Dated: 23.3.2012 & E(MPP)2005/1/54/Vol.III, Dt: 6.3.2007, it was advised to all Zonal Railways that in the event of surrendering of post the administration should consult organized labour. In this connection this union had submitted a detailed justification to DRM/SBC how posts are justified for operation. Hence, this union urges to revert the decision/recommendation of work study department advising division to surrender the post.

M I N U T E S(28/29.05.2015)

32 posts of ECRCs were surrendered for arriving the money value for implementing the restructuring of Commercial Assistants and ECRC category over the Division.

GS mentioned that Railway Board clearly instructed Zonal Railways that they have to approach Board in case of any problems in implementing the cadre restructuring. Accordingly, some of the Railways informed Board that they are not in a position to implement the cadre restructuring for want of sufficient posts. But, our Railway has not approached Board in regard to this matter and surrendered large number of posts in ECRC cadre, which is quite alarming. He also mentioned that this has been done without consultation of Trade Union.

In this connection, DS/SWRMU/SBC mentioned that they have submitted a logical report to DRM/SBC how the posts of ECRC should not be surrendered.

It was suggested that the posts of luggage porters can be surrendered instead of ECRC.

CCM mentioned that as per the yardstick, requirement of ECRCs should be examined by the Bangalore Division afresh and if required, proposal should be initiated to create the posts of ECRC.

IMPARTING TRAINING FOR OPERATING TRH/POINTSMAN’S INITIAL COURSE & RC AT STC/SBC.

The DTTC for training TRH/Pointsman’s which was located at Srirangapattana, has been shifted to MYS/AP. Now all the SBC Division employees right from NGM to OML the traffic staff are facing tremendous difficult while attending the initial and RC course at MYS South due to poor connectivity from MYS to AP. In a year around two initial course and four batches of RC consisting of around 15 staffs are attending the course. This Union suggests to have this course at STC/SBC by posting one instructor to avoid inconvenience to the traffic staff of SBC Division.

M I N U T E S(27/28.05.2015): Since, full-fledged training facilities are already developed at DTTC/Dharwad & Ashokpuram, it shall be prudent to conduct RC for Points Man/TRH at these centers only to maintain the quality of training.

PUBLICATION OF RESULTS OF SELECTIONS CONDUCTED FOR TC’S AGAINST 33 1/3 PR QUOTA.

The Selection has been conducted for filling up of 54 posts in the TC’s cadre vide Sr.DPO/SBC, Notification No.B/P.608/II/Comml/TC/Vol.VIII/33 1/3%/PRQ. dt.11.04.2014 & 21.05.2014. The suitability test was held on 21.06.2014 for both 33 1/3 & 16 2/3. This union regrets to mention that the administration without publishing the results for 33 1/3 only results of 16 2/3 have been published and the selected candidates have been sent for training. The frustration and anguish among the candidates appeared for 33 1/3 have never been replied at all regarding written test results. It is learnt from divisional administration that the vigilance organization have took the file and till date the same has not been returned for taking any further action in the subject matter. In such case a pertinent doubt arises that how both the quotas i.e. 33 1/3 & 16 2/3 have been held simultaneously what was the special consideration of administration to facilitate the candidates who have appeared in both 16 2/3 and results have been published if at all vigilance angle was involved, the aggrieved candidates appeared it should have been applicable for both the selections. The candidates appeared for 33 1/3 have put in 2 decades of service in the operating and commercial and appeared for selection with a great hope to seek the carrier progression in their life time. On account of non publishing of results, the efforts made by the candidates gone vain and their interest and confidence have get shattered. The administration cannot evolve different yardstick similar/same selection. Hence, this union urges to direct the division to evaluate and publish the results of TC’s without any further delay to meet the end of justice.

Item No.26/01/2015

RAISING OF COMMERCIAL DEBITS IN CONTRARY TO IRAC PROVISION.

Time & again this union has been representing to traffic accounts administration duly re-iterating the codal provision in subject matter. In this connection the IRAC codal provision Para 2704 is appended below for kind and ready reference.

Para 2704: “Time limit far raising debits against stations. Except in special circumstances and in case of errors detected by the inspectors of station accounts and the officials of the Audit Department, no debit will ordinarily be raised against stations more than six months of accountal of transaction in station returns ”

From the above it is very crystal clear it is that no debit can be raised beyond 6 months for accountal of transaction (Traffic accounts dept). Off late traffic accounts error advice sheets have been sent to Sr.DCM/SBC for further action from commercial dept for admitting/disputing the debits with valid reason from the counter clerk after a lapse of 6 months. As per the commercial codal provision, the PRS forms can be preserved for the period of 6 months, beyond that it will be sent to parcel office for disposal.

It is very pertinent to mention that when the concession form itself will not be available to admit or dispute the debit, how a counter clerk/ECRC can be held responsible to such debits.

DRM/SBC

CCM, DRM/SBC

Hence this union urges to adhere the instruction of Accounts Codal provision in the subject matter and re-iterate the instructions to traffic accounts not to raise any belated debits. This union also urges to withdraw such debit advice send so far after the expiry of 6 months of time.

M I N U T E S(27/28.05.2015):

This issue will be discussed with Associate Finance for timely submission of Accounts inspection reports.

Union pointed out that debit has been raised in 50 cases by Accounts Department pertaining to the year 2011-12 in the year 2015. In some of the cases, basic records have also been disposed off and hence rising of debits at a later date is not acceptable. CCM mentioned that records will be perused and will discuss the matter with FA&CAO/SWR.

Union demanded the administration to pass interim orders not to start recovery against the debit advice till the matter is sorted out in consultation with FA & CAO.
