Yesterday, i.e. on 11th
January 2013, NOINO President Prakash Javadekar, MP, Rajyasabha led a
NOINO delegation to Chairman Shri Dinesh Mehrotra to discuss some
pending issues of LIC employees in general & Class I Officers in
particular. Shri M R Kumar, ED(Personnel) was present during these discussions.
The delegation consisted of Smt Anagha Sant, GS, NOINO; Shri Ganesh
Kamath, Chief Advisor, NOINO; Shri Dattaraj Prabhukhanolkar,
Resident Secretary, NOINO & Shri Manish Patankar, President, NOINO,
Mumbai unit. Following issues were discussed:-
1. Batches for promotion:- The delegation expressed its unhappiness over the
non-inclusion of certain batches for promotion to the cadres of ADM & DM.
The delegation also reminded the management about the various short-term(splitting
of portfolios; promotion by application, ADM to be posted where SBM is posted;
consideration of ADM & DM cadres as interchangeable etc); & long-term
solutions suggested by NOINO in this matter. Shri Mehrotra replied that
due to the shortage of vacancies, it was difficult to consider the said
batches. He said that all efforts were taken to try & accommodate the said
batches, but was not found possible right now. He, however, said that the
long-term suggestions by NOINO like granting of scales to eligible officers;
running scales to avoid stagnation; Grade pay; Increment as a percentage of
Basic pay & Grade pay would be definitely taken into consideration
during the wage-revision. We have again insisted on considering the batches
that have not been included this year for promotion. Chairman has assured to
look into the matter.
2. Discussions on Charter: - The delegation demanded immediate discussions on
the wage-revision due since 1st August 2012 . Chairman said that the management was awaiting the
nod of the Government over this issue. On the management’s part, it has already
collected the relevant data & sent to the Government for consideration.
3. One more option for pension: NOINO has again raised this issue & urged the
management to solve the issue outside wage-revision. Chairman said that
the issue was being followed up with utmost seriousness with the Government
& the management too, wanted that this issue be resolved at the earliest.
4. Recruitment of Class III &
Cashiers: - We said that
a massive recruitment in Class III & cashiers was the need of the hour to
infuse fresh blood as well as to reduce the work-load on the officers. Shri
Kumar said that recruitment of ‘Assistant-cum-Cashiers’ was under
consideration in the near future.
5. Autocratic behavior of
Surat/Ahmedabad SDM’s (WZ):--
Shri Javadekar said that reports of these SDM’s treating officers with contempt
were being received & these would not be tolerated. He demanded that the
management restrain these SDM’s. Chairman assured to look into the matter.
NOINO
will continue to follow-up these issues.
