comment on post "NFPE WROTE

Dear Comrade,

The issues relating to TBOP/BCR are very serious. The same officials in the Cadre who appeared for GroupB exams during last year are told that thye have not enough qualifying serive to attend the same exam this year. Meanwhile the IPO/ASP who are neither an organised militant group nor have enough political backings are walking away with plum benefits. How? Just because the Postal bureaucrat is backing them. Why can't we rein in this vested groups through political intervention? Are we afraid of bureaucrats? Cadre restructuring is not the panacea for all the ills. It is indeed a trap. Once implemented no Official who have not gone through the IPO cadre will never raise to the level of Superintendent.He will utmost become a Senior Postmaster towards the fag end of his service. It is a pity that our Union still has failed to understand this trap and is trying to console the members by citing the 'golden years ahead" under the so called restructuring.
