ALL INDIA LOCO RUNNING
STAFF ASSOCIATION
Ref: ……………… Date: 02.08.2012
To,
The Chairman,
Railway Board,
New Delhi.
Sir,
Sub.:- Resolution adopted in CWC meeting held
at GZB on 28th & 29th July 2012.
I enclosed herewith submit the resolution
adopted in our CWC meeting which has been held in our central office, GZB for
your favorable consideration.
Secretary General
AILRSA
1.
The 6th Central Pay Revision had effected
an increase in pay of Central Government employees in the form of Grade pay
which was introduced in addition to then drawing pay. The drawing pay as on
1-1-2006 of Running Staff was 2.116times of Basic pay and the revised pay chart
for running staff was divided with a multiplying factor of 2.116. Assistant
Loco Pilot s appointed after 1-1-2006 and before 31—8-2008 ie the date of 6th
CPC implementation in many divisions are still denied the fixation of their pay
as per the fixation chart specified for the running staff, but fixed at the
minimum as specified in schedule II of
the order. Hence they are not enjoying the increase in pay equal to the
others. So we demand to issue a clarification order to fix the pay of those
employees as par with running staff chart to undo this anomaly.
2.
In the absence of a clear order on the issue
eligibility criteria of loco running staff for higher classes of quarters
different depots are following different criteria. This meeting demand Railway
Board to issue clarification order in the line of eligibility of privilege pass
and departmental examination be issued immediately.
3.
After 6th CPC City Compensation Allowance is
merged with Transportation Allowance. CCA was granted adding 30% pay element
for running staff which is now denied arbitrarily. So we demand to bring
Transportation Allowance under
rule 25 of Running Allowance rules 1981 and to allow 30% enhanced rate of Transport Allowance.
4.
The direction of Railway Board vide para E 8 of its
letter dated 14-06-2012, which asked the CLI’s to council the family members of
Loco Running Staff on the ill effect of inadequate rest and alcoholism is
highly objectionable and hence we demand to withdraw it. All the family members
for loco running staff are well aware of the need of rest for running staff.
Moreover the ill effect of alcoholism will disturb the families before it
starts affecting driving. So this direction is totally meaningless. But at the
same time efforts of management to penetrate into family matters using the
administrative powers on the employee is the culture prevailed during the age
of slavery and hence undemocratic.
5.
The uniform allowance being paid to staff nurse is
Rs.7500/- per year and the washing allowance is Rs.4440/- per year. At the same
time the cost of pant bit and shirt bit being supplied for running staff
{including Loco Pilot(Mail)} who are always described as backbone of Rail
industry is Rs.117/- and 12.50 respectively. The stitching allowance is
Rs.135/- and Rs.60/-ie in total annual uniform allowance to loco running staff
is Rs.438.5 per year against Rs.11940/- for staff nurse. Experiments for the
past many years undoubtedly proved that Railway Management system in
ineffective to procure quality cloth for its staff. So we suggest allowing
uniform allowance on par with staff nurse to running staff too as a remedial
measure.
6.
We welcome the directions from the Ministry of
Railways dt.14-06-2012 as a positive sign to go deep into the reasons for the
so called human failure in SPAD cases, which was demanded by us since long.
This Association had raised voice against the unfriendly loco cabs, confusing
signaling system, inadequate and insufficient rest, denial of leave, working in
short cut method ignoring safety item, amounting unnecessary stress and strain
on Loco Crew by way of unmatching penalization etc. We have been drawing the
attention of Rly. Administration on these issues through the various forms of
agitations before administrative offices, loco sheds, and before labour forums
like RLC,CLC, Labour court, Tribunal etc. We are happy to see that most of the
points raised by us find a place in the said direction.
It is the considered opinion of this
Association that non fixing the correct priority among the 54 points of the
Railway Board direction, will become counter productive. For instance before
recruiting sufficient staff in the cadre, increasing the number of LIs will end
up in increasing the stress of over work on Loco Pilots. This Association is of
firm opinion that without much change in the present infrastructure, the
following points can be implemented immediately and hence urge for instructing
Zones/Divisions to implement the same.
i.
Stop under rest calling immediately and drop all penal
action already taken place in this score (Point No. C-16)
ii.
Stop threatening staff who seek relief after working 8
hours in Goods and 6hours in Mail & Express
trains and allow L.P (G) to de-energies /
shut
down the loco and take them to nearest running room/ head quarters by first
priority(Point No. C - 5).
iii.
Grant leave liberally upto the specified quota of 30%
without any restriction.
iv.
Amend the road learning rules to minimize validity
period to one month. (Point No. C-3).
v.
Amend periodical rest rule to allow calendar day rest
as PR. (Point No. B-4).
vi.
Cancel resumption from leave/sick &PR at night
hours. (Point No. E-10).
vii.
Withdraw all criminal cases initiated on running staff
for train accident and issue necessary changes in rules to that effect. (Point
No. E-16).
viii.
Re draft all crew links with 6 hours duty, restriction
of 2/3 night duties, calendar day rest, sufficient rest in between two trips,
bringing crew to HQ within 36 hours and bifurcating different tractions. (Point
No. E-10,C-6,B-4,C-16,C-13) and reduce the number of men in crew links. (Point
No. C-3).
The following decision are
taken in CWC meeting which is held at GZB on 28th & 29th
July 2012, presided over by central
working president in absence of Com. L.Momy our President who is now under medical treatment.
