Associations of service unions in work study
Whenever any work study is undertaken the CHQ will be requested to send their views and materials to the Directorate to assist work study. At local level also when the team visits the union representatives will be given an opportunity to place their views on creation and abolition of posts is purely an administrative matter and it is not a subject which the union can discuss with the administration. It is for the Dept. to decide whether a particular post is justified or not and it is not the function of the union determining the justification or otherwise of the post. Views of union may however be considered when the question is examined on merits. No correspondence will be entertained with the union on creation of individual posts. The question of standards for creation of posts is a different matter and does not fall in the above category.
