Central Excise Superintendents Association Revives Agitation against apathy
THE Central Excise Superintendents are an agitated lot. The much awaited cadre restructuring has turned out to be elusive.
Yesterday the Association's Secretary General in a letter to the Finance Minister submitted:
• Our officers are retiring in PB2 after getting only one promotion in the service career while other common entry counterparts of ours are retiring in PB4 after getting 5-6 promotions.
• The employee grievance redressal mechanism has totally failed.
• We are forced to work under the extreme juniors of Customs belonging to the same cadre.
• All of our officers are totally demoralised and have nothing to be job-satisfied or motivated.
• If career prospects were disclosed in the recruitment advertisement, these officers would have never joined this job.
• The rights to grow, make progress and live with dignity have been snatched from us.
• There is no change in the scenario regarding our career prospects despite the repeated representations, pleadings & requests being made by the Association for many decades. All of our grievances have been unredressed for decades despite assurances.
So, the Association has decided to revive the agitation agenda from 4.9.2013.
