Display of posters and other notices by Government servants/Union Associations on the walls, etc., of Government Offices and buildings
Display of posters and other notices by Government servants/Union Associations on the walls, etc., of Government Offices and buildings
Of late, growing tendency has been noticed among Government servants, acting individually or though their unions/associations, of affixing posters and other notices on the wall, doors, etc., of Government offices and buildings.
2. In this connection attention is invited to the Department of Labour and Employment OM No. 18/21/60-LRI dated the 9th May, 1961 (extract below), which prescribed the nature of posters that can be displayed by the recognized associations/trade unions on notice boards in the office premises with the permission of the competent authority at the places specified for this purpose. The facility so provided to recognized associations/unions does not confer on individual Government servants or their associations/unions any right to display posters or other notices on the walls, doors, etc., of the office premises.
3. The Ministry of Finance, etc., are requested to enlist the cooperation of their employees and the recognized staff associations/unions in the matter for ensuring maintenance of neat and tidy appearance of the office buildings and premises. Government servants who affix or display posters/notices or are responsible for the display of such notices in violation of these instructions would be rendering themselves liable to appropriate action.
