Meeting with
Director(HRD):
GS, AGS,
Com khan, along with President and GS of AIBSNL EA met Director (HRD) and
extensively discussed the following issues. GM(SR) and GM(P) were also
present.
A)Modification of transfer orders of genuine
cases in respect of recently promoted JTOs to SDEs through LDCE. After
through discussion it was agreed to review the posting orders of some
genuine cases. Association has already submitted a list of such requests for
consideration.
B)Removal of certain serious anomalies
contained in the draft Gr A RRs: Some of the serious discrepancies contained
in the draft Gr A RRs which were left uncovered in the previous discussion
were discussed and after a very through discussion on the changes to be
incorporated suggested by us, it was decided to consider incorporating these
significant amendments.
C)Restoration of seniority of 1966 posts; We
vehemently protested over uncalled for delay in issuing the orders restoring
the seniority of 1966 TES Gr B posts in accordance with the judgments of
Ernakulam and Delhi High Courts. We made it very clear to Director (HRD)
that the delay in restoring the seniority is motivated one and is completely
unwarranted. After detailed discussion, it was agreed to hold final
discussion with us on 5th Jan.,08 to finally resolve the issue.
D)Holding of DPC from TES Gr B to STS against
1354 posts: It was agreed that once seniority of 1966 TES Gr B is restored,
immediate action would be taken to complete the DPC against 1354 posts.
E)Holding of DPC from JTO to TES Gr B: It was
agreed to draw a definite time table to complete the said DPC within that
time frame.
F)Cancellation of transfer orders of 119 SDEs;
Director(HRD) assured to consider the issue favourably and as quickly as
possible.
In order to settle long pending issue of ACP, we have demanded of formation
of committee to examine the issue of ACP in totality and as a positive move
a Committee has been formed under the Chairmanship of Shri Pradeep Nagpal,
GM(SP) to examine the issue. The other members of the committee are Shri
Shakeel Ahmed GM(SR), Shri P.K.Purwar GM(CA), Shri Saurabh Tyagi DGM(BW).
DPC for
promotion from SDE(Civil) to EE(civil) for approx. 40 vacancies
is over and very shortly the posting orders will be issued.
Discrepancy in JTO recruitment : The JTOs recruited for the year 2007
under OBC/ SC/ST categories though high in merit list were posted
outside the Circles while JTOs down in merit list were retained in the same
Circle. This discrepancy was highlighted by us to Management and it is
known that the same has been corrected and intimated to Circles.
GS Writes to CMD BSNL for
placing JTOs and SDEs in the Standard revised pay scales of
E2 and E3 respectively and consequently Sr SDEs to DGMs in the pay scale of
E4 to E6 <<<<click>>>>><<<<<click for chart>>>>>
Meeting to sort out anomalies contained in the draft Gr A
RRs: GS and AGS, Com Khan, along with President and GS of AIBSNL EA had
extensive discussions with GM(SR) and GM(P) to sort out various
discrepancies contained in the draft Gr A RRs in the context of
understanding reached at between the united forum and the management of BSNL.
After detailed discussions, it was agreed to incorporate appropriate changes
in the draft Gr A RRs, keeping in view the recommendations of the Joint
Committee.
Meeting with Dir (HRD):
Director (HRD) called us along with AI BSNL EA to know our views regarding
recruitment of about 400 JTOs and 210 DGMs exclusively for sales, marketing,
HR and finance, having specialization in respective wings. We opposed the
lateral recruitment of both JTOs and DGMs on the grounds that it shall lead
to innumerable problems in terms of introducing multiple cadres with
different RRs. On the issue of merger of HR functions, we strongly pleaded
for complete and immediate integration of HR functions of all disciplines as
decided by the BSNL Management more than five years before. We urged upon
Director (HRD) to initiate immediate steps in the direction of bringing
about total merger of HR functions of all the wings existing in BSNL.
Meeting with CMD: Later on, we had discussion with CMD on both these issues where we
reiterated the stand taken before Director(HRD) on lateral induction of DGMs
and recruitment of JTOs in areas of sales, marketing, HR and finance.
The CMD emphasized the need of Lateral entry in the cadre of DGMs since it
was urgently required in the interest of the company for lack of
professionals in Marketing, HR, finance and sales. However, we maintained
our stand on grounds stated by us before Director(HRD). However CMD
clarified that lateral induction of DGMs is not going to affect our
promotional aspects as it will be over and above the existing sanctioned
strength of DGMs. We pleaded for some more time for expressing our final
opinion on the issue of lateral induction of DGMs. We seized the opportunity
to impress upon CMD to expedite action in the direction of bringing about
total merger of HR functions of different disciplines of the Organization.
Subsequently, Director (HRD) informed GS that BSNL Management shall not
downgrade the scales of JTOs and SDEs and assured GS that timely and
appropriate action is being initiated to give appropriate mid scales to JTOs
and SDEs, in consultation with administrative ministry i.e DOT. However, GS
strongly pleaded with Director (HRD) to give E2 and E3 pay scales to JTOs
and SDEs of BSNL at par with MTNL and in line with the decisions of DPE on
IDA scales in CPSUs.
Notice for imminent Country wide trade union actions – unprecedented
perverse thinking on the part of BSNL Management – Reported sinister and
very dangerous move of the management to downgrade the existing pay scale of
JTOs and SDEs from the existing E1A and E2A to E1 and E2.>>>>>>>>
Meeting with Director(HRD)
General Secretary along
with AGS, Com khan, had discussion on finalization of Gr A RRs with
Director(HRD). GM(P) and GM(SR) were also present. We pointed out serious
anomalies in the draft Gr A RRs and informed Director(HRD) that the draft
contains clauses which amount to serious breach of understanding in the
joint committee. Discussions are to continue tomorrow. GS and President
AIBSNL EA were also present.
Get fully ready to defeat
the dangerous conspiracy and game plan of BSNL Management:
Meeting with the
committee to take final view on the decisions of the govt. on the
implementation of pay scales of executives in BSNL
GS and AGS, Com Khan, met the members of the
committee andmade it very clear to the committee members that JTOs and SDEs should be
given E2 and E3 pay scales as decided by DPE. We are under no circumstances
going to accept pay scales lesser than E2 and E3 for JTOs and SDEs
respectively. However, it appears from the discussion that there is thinking
on the part of the management to downgrade the pay scales of JTOs and SDEs
from the existing E1A (mid scale ofE1 and E2)
and E2A (mid scale of E2 and E3) to E1 and E2 respectively.
Alarming message from GS:
Be fully prepared to instantaneously,
without any further notice to the management, to defeat the conspiracy of
the BSNL Management to downgrade the existing pay scales of JTOs and SDEs
from the existing one to E1 and E2. Maintain complete solidarity and start
making highest and extraordinary level of organizational preparation to
defeat the sinister and dangerous agenda of the management. CHQ office
bearers, CSs, SSAs and activists of the Organization at all the levels must
immediately swing into action and start making hectic and extensive
organizational preparation to get fully ready for a full fledged and
sustained struggle to secure justice by getting E2 and E3 pay scales for
JTOs and SDEs implemented. Treat this issue as one of great and
extraordinary urgency and on top most priority. Treat this as greatest
challenge posed to our career growth by the management of BSNL.
