Subject:      Revision of MMS Schedules and problems thereof…

Sir,
          This union has been endorsed a copy of notice of agitation commonly given by the three Divisional Unions viz, NFPE, FNPO & AHTKS. The notice highlights some of the problems that have cropped up due to the unscientific revision of MMS Schedules. This Union has also visited the A-Zone premises and had interacted with the staff working in that section. During the interaction the staff working in A-Zone has highlighted the following genuine problems which needs to be given due consideration.
1.   Due to the unscientific revision of MMS Schedules some of the MMS Trips have been given a lengthy schedule which runs above the 8 hrs duty and completes at odd hours in the night making it difficult for the staff engaged on the said MMS Trip to perform the next day duty resulting into absentee of the staff. At SPCC due to the lengthy schedules the mail earlier arriving at 22.30 hrs now arrives at 03.00 hrs in the morning leading to loss of manpower engaged in the Set. All such lengthy trips needs to be revised by giving due consideration to the actual travel time, road traffic conditions, MMS vehicle capacity and staff duty hours.
2.   Secondly the mail agency branch work of APSO (I), APSO (FGN) and AMPC has been concentrated at A-Zone which is generating problems at peak hours as all the bags pertaining to the above mail agency branches are received in a mixed condition which needs to be first unloaded on the A-Zone platform and then segregated office wise for onward transmission leading to unnecessary re-handling and duplication. After 7.45 pm in the evening maximum MMS Schedules arrives at A-Zone due to which accommodation problem arises for stacking the received bags causing lot of inconvenience for the staff to perform smoothly and also leading to delay in attending the arrived MMS Trip. To avoid the accommodation problem and delay in attending the arrived MMS Trip it is requested to kindly restore the Mail Agency Branch work of APSO (I), APSO (FGN) and AMPC branch by allotting necessary points in the relevant MMS Schedules so as to enable speedy receipt and dispatch of mails from the respective points and to avoid loss of manpower at A-Zone. Sir, the MMS Schedule will hardly consume 5 minutes to attend each points after entering the APSO Complex instead of waiting in front of A-Zone for hours for getting response.
          Sir, the edifice of mail arrangement rests on twin pillars of speed and economy. I hope you will agree that both Speed and Economy are equally important because speed without economy would raise the cost of transmission to prohibitive levels while economy without speed would lead to consumer dissatisfaction. The R-IV Divisional Unions have come forward with genuine issues the workers are facing due to the unscientific revision of MMS Schedules which needs to be given a careful consideration for bringing out a healthy blend between speed and economy which should be our goal while revising the MMS Schedule and who else would help the Department more than its own workers. I therefore request you to have a healthy interaction with the R-IV Unions to ensure cordial atmosphere in the Division for betterment of our services.
         
                   With profound Regard

Yours faithfully
