REGARDING
DEVELOPMENTS AT BSNL C.O.
United forum of BSNL
executives was informed by GM(SR)/BSNL that a letter has been sent to DOT by
the BSNL Management on 2nd feb.,09 i.e today asking it to consider the
decision of the BSNL Board regarding granting of new IDA pay scales, 30%
fixation of pay etc. to executives as decided by the BSNL/Board in its
earlier meeting and already communicated to DOT. Interestingly and
significantly, BSNL management has also mentioned in this letter of 2nd
Feb.,09 that the total expenditure likely to be incurred by the BSNL
Management after taking into consideration the implementation of new IDA
scales and 30% fixation for non executives also is likely to be around Rs
4500 crores. GM(SR) felt that this development of BSNL Management asking DOT
to consider the decision that BSNL Board has already taken regarding new IDA
pay scales and fixation @ 30% for executives was sufficient enough to give
DOT some more time to take final decision by deferring our programmes of
protest action.
However, we maintained
that BSNL Management has already by its own belated action of asking DOT to
stall the clearance of the proposal sent by it a few weeks before created
serious doubts about the justification and genuineness of its earlier
proposal. Also, by stating now additionally, that the likely expenditure to
be incurred on implementation of new IDA scales as well as fixation etc. for
non executives and executives would be around Rs 4500 crores, the issue has
been made deliberately complicated by the BSNL Management. In fact, BSNL
Management by its unwarranted belated action has to a very great extent
diluted its earlier decision, we informed GM(SR).
We further mentioned to
GM(SR) that when ITS Gr A officers not absorbed in BSNL were given new CDA
scales in accordance with decisions of 6th CPC, BSNL Management never
mentioned at that stage to DOT even a word about the likely expenditure of
implementation of new IDA scales and fixation for executives and non
executives. On the contrary, there was a calculated and well planned silence
on this aspect when the proposal was sent to DOT for clearance. This was
done to ensure smooth implementation of CDA scales of 6th CPC for non
absorbed ITS Gr A whose entire expenditure is being borne by BSNL. To
mention, to DOT, at this belated stage, that an expenditure of Rs 4500
crores would be required to be met by BSNL for implementation of IDA scales
of non executives and executives is nothing but a clear attempt to defeat
implementation of decisions of DPE regarding new IDA scales and fixation for
executives of BSNL. Thus, we find absolutely no reason to reconsider our
decision of observing of programmes of protest actions notified by us, we
informed GM(SR). CMD is already out of Country on an official tour of South
Africa and Director(HRD) was today in Jaipur to attend a meeting of Hon’ble
MPs of Parliament.
We thus make a very
firm appeal to our comrades to go in for mass mobilization of the issue of
pay scales and fixation which has already been considerably diluted by
Committee of Secretaries in the first place and now by the BSNL Management.
The programmes of protest actions to be observed for the full week have are
meant for complete mobilization and preparation of our grass root membership
to get involved in actual programmes of trade union action quite likely to
be followed by programmes of protest action. Make complete and all round
preparations in the direction of getting fully ready for a decisive and
prolonged struggle. We wish all the best to our Comrades throughout the
Country for total success of this legitimate and just struggle of ours which
has been virtually thrust upon us by vested interest BSNL Management.
