Artizan Khalasi-Mazon Plumber.
. There was a proposal to fill up the vacancies of Helper in Artisan category in pay band Rs.5200-20200+1800(GP) in WORKS SIDE (IOW) by inviting applications from Trackmen/Gateman/Trolley man/Store Watchman of Civil Engineering Department of MYS Division duly denying chances to employees working in pay band 5200-20200+1800 (G.P.) of WORKS BRANCH OF SAME ENGINEERING BRANCH OF MYS DIVISION. The general opinion of supervisors of works, ADENs and Sr.DEN/Co-ord/Mys is that a chance is to be given to Khalasi/Helper working in WORKS UNIT (IOW) only as they do not have avenue for promotion other than to progress in artisan category. Now the trackmen of the civil engineering Department is having enough promotional avenue as TRACKMAINTAINER I, II, III, & 1V.Hence this UNION demands to fill-up these vacancies by calling volunteers from WORKS SIDE(IOW ) .

Payment of OT Allowance arrears of SMs of MYS-HAS section :-
(a)Job analysis for SMs working in MYS-HAS section (BLGA to MVC stations) was conducted during the period of September/October 2011 and was justified. Finally 8 hrs. roster was introduced from 02.04.14 based on the job analysis. All the SMs who are worked during the period have submitted OTA bills to the division in the month of MAY/JUNE2014. But till date it has not been paid to SMs. Hence this UNION urges the administration for making early payment of OTA arrears to all SMs who have submitted the OTA Bills.
(b)Denial of OTA to SM’s of MYS Division: SM’s of MYS Division who are forced to work extra hours due to non-availability of RG/LR SM’s are denied OTA payment. When approached the divisional administration they say that CR can be availed, but the question of availing CR is when there are sufficient no.of LR SM’s are available. Since there are many vacancies in this division and also all other category like Guards, Pointsman, AC Electrical Staff etc., are being paid OTA and also SM’s of SBC & UBL Division are getting OTA except SM’s of MYS Division. Hence this union urges for payment of OTA to eligible SM’s of MYS Division.

Mysore shop is doing POH of AC, Non-AC coaches. Nov 2012 onwards, Mysore shops started IOH and POH of LHB coaches. So far, a total of more than 100 coaches of SS-1, SS-2 & SS-3 completed. In addition to this, Garib Rath coaches are also being attended regularly by Mysore shops. POH of all these coaches involve components/equipments ranging from 24 volts to 750 volts. For the effective management of procurement of various parts and components, shop finds it very difficult with the limited powers of DEE. It is very pertinent to note that Mysore Shop is nominated for IOH and POH of LHB coaches. In the coming years, more and more such coaches will be allotted to this Shop. Further, for promotion of electrical staff above GP 4200, now shop is depending Sr. DEE, Bangalore or Mysore. This delays operation of promotion. Hence, this Union request to upgrade the post of DEE into Sr. DEE at CWS/MYSS.

There are large number of clerical vacancies have come up in the ministerial cadre in all the department as on date there are vacancies in the recruitment grade i.e. Jr. clerks. Out of 15 P.Way depots only 5 depots are having their works clerk remaining 10 depots are functioning without works clerk.
