NOINO WZ MEETS ZM WZ

              On 30^th April 2011 NOINO, WZ delegation met Zonal Manager WZ Shri R.R.Dash. NOINO delegation was led by Shri G.G.Kamath, All India General Secretary, NOINO. Others in the delegation were Shri V.V.Shastri, Zonal Secretary,WZ, Smt Anagha Sant, Organising Secretary, Shri Manish Patankar, WZ Jt.Secretary and Shri Dattaraj Prabhukhanolkar, NOINO, General Secretary, Mumbai Unit. On this occasion the delegation welcomed Shri R.R.Dash, Zonal Manager on behalf of NOINO, WZ. It discussed the  following issues of Class-I officers in this meeting.

Postings of Officers to other Zones on promotion :  NOINO, WZ pointed out that in the recent round of promotions to the cadre of ADM/SBM many officers had been posted to other Zones. 39 out of 104 promoted officers had been posted to other Zones on promotion. This caused lots of resentment among the officers.  The delegation also submitted that on initial analysis it seemed that while posting in other Zones no specific criteria had been followed e.g. junior officers (in age) were retained in the Zone and senior officers (in age) had been posted to other Zones. It also informed him  that only 2 Dy. Managers, that too from CLIA department, despite giving excellent performance under critical situation in CLIA, were  promoted and posted in the Central Zone. NOINO WZ requested him to take up this issue with Central office.

                        Zonal Manager said that he would convey the feelings to the appropriate authorities.

Postings on Promotion : NOINO WZ also discussed the issue of posting on promotion, criteria within the Zone in the current promotion round. 

                        On this issue Zonal Manager assured that he would try to give suitable postings to all promoted officers so that everybody would be inclined to accept the promotion.

Transfer policy:  The delegation requested Zonal Manager to consider the request transfer of Class-I officers after completion of 2 years in case of male officers and 1 year in case of female officers in all cadres of Class-I officers. If this was not done, the very purpose of request transfer would be defeated and if officers get transfer before 3 years then many of the officers would be inclined to accept promotions. NOINO WZ, therefore, requested him to fix the criteria for request transfer in all cadres (including marketing officials) to 2 years in the ensuing round of promotions & transfers.

                        On this issue Zonal Manager seemed to be positive and assured to examine the possibility in ensuing round of transfers to the maximum possible extent.

De-Rotations :  The delegation  said that most of the officers  were job rotated to Marketing side somewhere in the month of June or October and after that they purchased their vehicles. However, after completion of their marketing tenure, they were de-rotated in the regular round of Promotions/Transfers i.e in the month of April/May. Consequently, they were compelled to pay the book value of their vehicles for the remaining months up to the date of their vehicle completing 5 years which is putting financial burden on the officers. In this connection NOINO WZ  suggested him that the officer should be de-rotated after the completion of 5 years from the date of purchase of his/her vehicle OR if de-rotated in the regular round of Promotion/Transfer than the book value should be borne by corporation.

                        On this issue Zonal Manager assured that due care would be taken of such cases in the recent promotion/transfer round on the basis of performance of the officers.

Online Application for ZTC/STC/DTC :  The delegation inquired whether ZO would be considering the online applications of officers for STC/DTC directly or would be decided by respective SDMs as Central office had recently asked the officers to apply online who were interested to work in ZTC/STC/DTC,

                        On this issue he said that he would revert back after knowing the exact procedure and then act accordingly, but postings of officers in STC would be done by Zone as per old practice.

Information Sharing Meeting : The delegation informed the Zonal Manager that all the Divisional Offices were holding information sharing meeting for Development Officers & Agents  on regular basis. However, all the divisional offices were not conducting information sharing meeting for all classes. NOINO WZ demanded that information sharing meeting should be conducted for class-I officers’ union at Zonal level & and also at Divisional level.

                        On this issue the ZM was positive and assured that he would take positive steps in this regard.
