Co-ordination Committee has deferred the ongoing programme of agitation to give more time to the DPE to study the demand in the memorandum submitted to the Hon. Prime Minister by the Co-ordination Committee. The Prime Minister forwarded the same to the DPE through the Cabinet Secretary. The Secretary Power who had a meeting with the Cabinet Secretary assured the leaders that the Cabinet Secretary informed him that the issues will be seriously considered by the DPE for its resolution. The Cabinet Secretary has also assured the merger of 50% DA with the basic w.e.f 1-01-2005 will be included as a special item in the terms of reference of the Wage Revision Board for Executives in CPSUs after obtaining the approval of the Cabinet. The Minister for Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises away in Assam will return to the Capital only tomorrow night. The Co-ordination Committee is likely to meet the Minister as soon as he returns to the Capital for taking up the matter directly with him also. Congratulations Comrades, it was a superb fight. Your magnificent response to the first-ever stay out strike launched by the association was incredible. Throughout the country the valiant comrades of SNEA stayed out in large numbers with strong hearts. Keep up the spirits - - We applaud each one of you!! |

Promotion policy: GS requested Secretary DoT to kindly take expeditions action on the issue of Promotion policy. Secretary DoT was completely astonished to know that BSNL has not yet issued the orders since he has already cleared the file quite sometime before. And GS informed Secretary DoT that Association was given an impression that the decisions would be revealed by Secretary DoT personally in the formal meeting which was scheduled on 19th December 2006, Secretary DoT clearly stated that formal meeting had absolutely nothing to do with the decisions on promotion policy and these decisions have already been taken in the file. Secretary DoT assured GS that he will personally find out the reasons for delay in issuing the necessary orders on Promotion policy. In this regard GS is meeting Member (Services) tomorrow to find out as to why there is such an abnormal delay, when the file has already been cleared by Secretary DoT quite some time before. |
