30th   jan 2009UF of BSNL Executives' Association serves notice to BSNL management from 2nd Februray 2009>>>>>>>>>>>>. Make Serious preparations to make this trade union action programme a great success. Organise at BSNL Corporate office /CGM/SSA levels to defeat the evil designs of BSNL management.

(A) Lunch/closing hour demonstrations at Corporate Office /CGM/SSA level on 2^nd, 3^rd and 4^th Feb.,09

(B)    Full day Dharna at Corporate Office/CGM/SSA level on 5^th and 6^th Feb.,09.

In case necessary orders are not issued by 6th Feb.,09, the protest actions would be further intensified by resorting to other programmes of organizational actions. All the CHQ Office Bearers, Circle / Branch Secretaries are rquested to mobilize for making the Organisational Action Programme a complete Success.

A)    DOT clarifies that payment of pension to absorbed staff in BSNL is the sole responsibility of the govt. under the provisions of sub rule 21 of rule 37A of CCS pension rules 1972, regardless of the fact whether BSNL is in a position to make pensionary contribution to DOT or not. This sets at rest all the doubts about the role and responsibility of the govt. to pay pension to all those absorbed in BSNL from DOT.

B)    BSNL has approved the pay scales for executives in accordance with the orders of DPE except that for JTOs and SDEs it has approved mid scales of E1A and E2B. These scales along with the 30% fixation of IDA pay w.e f 1.1 2007 as approved by DPE have been sent to DOT for issuing of presidential orders. We expect the proposals to be cleared very soon by DOT.

C)    A committee to decide future perks for executives has been constituted under the Chairmanship of Executive Director/finance, Corporate office, Sh S.R.Kapoor. Association shall be interacting with the committee very closely.

D)   Decision regarding revision of IDA pension on CDA pattern in accordance with 1972 statutory pensionary rules is being awaited from Ministry of law.

E)    DOP & P(W) clarifies that it has nothing to do as far as issue of merger of 50% IDA with basic for all those having retired prior to 1.1.2007 is concerned. DOT now has sent the file to DPE for getting its approval on this issue.

F)     We make an fervent appeal to the CSs of all those Circles from where CRs from JTO to TES Gr B promotion have not come to ensure that CRs are sent as expeditiously as possible so as to get the promotion orders from JTO to TES Gr B against seniority cum fitness quota issued as early as possible. This must be treated on utmost priority.

G)   DPC from TES Gr B to adhoc STS expected to commence shortly.

H)   Gr A RRs are expected to be notified very shortly. Various discrepancies contained in the draft Gr A RRs have been set right.

I)      Sweeping reforms in the existing structure of BSNL are expected to be introduced very soon. Boston consultants are presently examining the whole issue of bringing about sweeping changes in the organizational structure so as to create exclusively vertical and independent wings in business development and growth, marketing, sales, GSM, HR and all other related aspects that help BSNL in meeting the stiff emerging competition in the telecom sector effectively and successfully. We are in touch with the consultants to give them our inputs. Inputs from the field units on all these critical issues would be quite useful, relevant and must be immediately mailed to CHQ.   

25th   jan 2009  GS writes to Dir(HRD) requesting him for to withhold implementation of order in connection with JTO Civil/Electrical 1st ACP case as a committee has already been constituted to review the same.  >>>>>>>>>

25th   jan 2009 VERY URGENT: JTO to TES Gr B DPC is getting inordinately delayed primarily due to complete indifference of our CSs to get involved in the process of expediting sending of CRs from their circles for the last more than six months. Despite our continuous and persistent requests to CSs to send the CRs since Sept.,08, it is very sad that only a few following circles have send the CRs and the majority of following Circles are yet to even get involved in the process of CR collection. This is a very serious and sad matter. GS emphatically wants to make it clear that in case, within a reasonable time of ten days from now, the Circles mentioned above are not sending their CRs, CHQ office bearers will be deputed personally to these Circles for getting this job done. This would be an unpleasant action on the part of CHQ, but, unfortunately, an unavoidable one for obvious reasons. We cannot see JTOs languishing to get promotions for months together merely because of our inaction.

As reported by CS AP Com. Padmanabha Rao, CRs & VC will be sent to BSNL CO on 27.1.09 positively.

23rd   jan 2009 We have come to know that only from 3 circles have sent the Vigilance clearance reports in connection with JTO(Civil) to SDE(Civil) promotion. The circles are MAHARASTRA(Nagapur),West Bengal (Kolkata) & Gujarat. All the CSs Kindly coordinate with our AGS Shri Chandrasekhar.

22nd   jan 2009 Following  Circles have not sent Screening Committee report &VC for the promotion from JTO(T) to SDE(T) under Seniority -cum-fitness quota.Concerned Jt.Secy/AGS should contact the Circle Secy.of the following circle and the compliance should be reported to AGS Com.Bansal ,Circle Secy. BSNL CO. Com. G.K Das on 9968684142 &9868175622 respectively

22nd   jan 2009 TRAI recommendation on unbundling of last mile copper cable: BSNL not able to meet the Govt. Broad target. Hence TRAI recommends to unbundle BSNL/MTNL cable for franchises to provide broadband. Comrades you must act and provide as much broadband connections possible as this is the only one area which we can concentrate and generate revenue in landline sector. By this we can save BSNL and scuttle the plans of TRAI and others. <<< PRESS REPORT>>>

Attention of CSs/SSA Sec: BSNL CO issued clarification regarding Refund of stipend arrears on IDA scale for JTOs recruited by BSNL. All CSs are requested to take up the issue with the concerned CGMs to refund the arrears at the earliest as stipend was paid by different RTTCs. <<< ORDER>>>

16 th  jan 2009 Way out to curtail expenditure on tours >>>>>>>>>

16 th  jan 2009 Meeting with M(S)/TC: As a follow up action of the advise given by Secy/DOT on the issue of deferred option case, GS and AGS, com Khan, had very extensive and useful discussions with M(S)/T( C ) who was completely convinced about the correctness of the orders issued by BSNL regarding mode of fixation. In fact, MS) in our presence had extensive discussions with senior officers of finance and establishment who emphatically endorsed the view point of M(S). In fact, M(S) clearly felt that the very purpose of the order is defeated in case fixation is done from CDA to IDA on promotion. The entire order is rendered in fructuous in that situation, M(S) felt. After a thorough discussion, M(S) assured that he would discuss the issue with M(F)/T(C) and other senior officers of Telecom officers. In fact, M(S) clearly felt that there is absolutely no need to get this issue placed on the agenda of Telecom Commission since this is an issue needing correct interpretation of the rules already mentioned. He asked us to get in touch with him in a couple of days. We shall be following this issue quite closely.

Gr A RRs; we reliably learn that Gr A RRs based on the understanding that we had with the Management are being very shortly being placed before MC of BSNL for its consideration and approval. This is a positive development.  

13 th  jan 2009  Meeting with Secy/DOT; GS along with AGSs, Com Khan and Com Sebstin met Secy/DOT and requested his kind intervention to decide the issue of deferred option to continue in CDA scale till promotion/retirement in accordance to the true spirit of the order contained in absorption. We informed Secy/DOT that despite best efforts of Sh D.S.Mathur to get the issue positively settled, DPE is maintaining its stand that this option is available only to those PSUs which were not given point to point fixation, whereas, BSNL which has been given point to point fixation, this option is not available. However, Secy/DOT was kind enough to inform us that he would try his best to do something and asked us to move the case once more.

16 th  jan 2009GGS Writes to Secy/DOT for immediate kind personal intervention to correctly  interpret and decide Para 4 of G.O.I, DOP&PW(D) order no 4/18/87-P&PW(D), dated 5^th July 1989. <<click>> 

15 th  jan 2009 Based on the feedback from Circles like Gujarat, UP(E) & Karnataka on EVDO / NIC cards, we have come to know that efforts are on to extend the same upto 31st March 2009 which had expired on 31st December 2008. Very few circles have sent the feedback on the same.

13 th  jan 2009Latest status on IDA scales: IDA scales and fixation of pay approved by BSNL board in its meeting on 7^th Jan.,09 has been referred to DOT for approval.

MEETING WITH DIRECTOR (HRD): GS and AGSs, Com Khan and Com K. Sebastin met Director(HRD) and pleaded with him to finalize and promulgate Gr A RRs based on the understanding reached between the management and the united forum. We strongly protested when Director(HRD) informed us that it will take a few more months to finalize since the whole issue of finalization of Gr A RRs has to be finalized in consultation with a consultant B.C.G ( Boston Consultants Group) appointed by BSNL Management to decide on various issues of growth, business development, HR, Sales, strategies to face our competitors, marketing etc. However, we made it very clear to Director(HRD) that referring Gr A RRs on which conclusive decisions have been already taken to BCG consultants is nothing but a clear breach of understanding and trust and we are not at all going to accept this kind of tactics of dilly dallying by the Management. We made it quite clear to Director(HRD) that in the name of setting up of a consultant, thousands and thousands of STS officers working on adhoc basis for more than ten years cannot be deprived of their regularization in STS and promotion in JAG. While non absorbed officers are getting their timely promotions and their issues are not being stalled in the name of referring it to one consultant or the other, it is completely unjustified to play with the sentiments of the absorbed officers by denying their regularization on one flimsy and concocted ground or the other. This is a very serious matter and will force the Association to take on the streets immediately unless Gr A RRs based on the understanding is promulgated immediately.

Against the background of this serious development, we should not loose any time in gearing up organizationally to defeat this belated conspiracy of the Management to inflict injustice of worst kind by backtracking on the understanding reached. This breach of commitment and trust has never been accepted by us in the past nor in the future. So get ready for a decisive struggle. Comrades, take this appeal very seriously and start making hectic and intense organizational preparations to expose and defeat the double designs of the Management. We shall be very shortly responding to this serious situation in a befitting manner and in no manner shall we allow any kind of dilution in the understanding reached between us and the management on Gr A RRs to take place. This is a great organizational challenge for us and we are confident to defeat the designs of the Management as regards their brazen faced breach of agreement and understanding on promulgation Gr A RRs.

 DEFFERRED OPTION (OPTION TO CONTINUE IN THE DA SCALE TILL NEXT PROMOTION OR RETIREMENT): Again DPE rejected the proposal sent by DOT with a very positive note regarding deferred option and returned the file. It is learnt that DPE rejected the proposal on the same ground as reported earlier that this option is applicable for those only CPSUs where point to point fixation was not given and in BSNL point to point fixation was given at the time of absorption. GS along with AGSs Com. Khan and Com. Sebastin met Member (Production) Sri. Sridhara who is holding the charge of Member (Services) and discussed the issue of deferred option and requested him to settle the issue in DOT itself. Association explained the background of the entire issue and mentioned that it is part of the terms and conditions for absorption and presidential order. The same option is included in the terms and conditions for Group A absorption also. M(S) assured that he would try to examine the whole issue in its entirety and take a final view. In the meantime, Association will be meeting Secretary, DOT tomorrow, on the same issue.

He assured to arrange another meeting with the full committee shortly.

After discussion he assured that the results will be announced after completing the valuation and other formalities without waiting for the examination to be held at J&K.

08 th  jan 2009 ALL CSs/SSAs/CHQ office bearers and activists of the Organization at all the levels:

The Govt. has come down heavily on our fraternal friends in the oils sector struggling to get the justified pay scales recommended by the 2^nd pay panel committee implemented. The recommendations of the 2^nd pay panel have been mercilessly and brutally slaughtered by the all powerful, irrational and senseless bureaucracy of the Govt. of India. Comprehensive job undertaken by the 2^nd pay panel to finalize its recommendations relating to pay scales and other related issues of officers of CPSUs in the most scientific and meticulous manner by involving all the experts and professionals from different wings of management, man power deployment and utilization, finance etc. and taking very vital inputs from various renowned consultants has been thrown to the dustbins by the feudal lords, the bureaucrats in the Govt. This job of finalizing the recommendations which was conducted by the 2^nd Pay panel in a truly professional manner, taking into considerations all the aspects of critical role of CPSUs in building a formidable national economy and immensely contributing towards building up of strategic developmental and growth oriented infrastructure has been completely watered down by a group of Secretaries completely devoid of scientific analysis and sense. This painstaking and scientific work of the 2^nd pay panel spreading over 18 months has been totally diluted by the vested interest bureaucracy in the Govt. in just two sittings.         

Now when the officers of the oil sector have raised their legitimate voice against mighty bureaucracy for their highly irrational and senseless acts, the Govt., instead of going into the crux of the matter to resolve the justified issues, has preferred to invoke repressive colonial draconian laws like ESMA to crush a legitimate, peaceful and democratic struggle. The repressive measures invoked by the Govt. deserve condemnation of the highest order in the most unequivocal terms. It is an attack on legitimate trade union activities on which pillars of democracy are erected. It is ridiculous on the part of the Government to resort to such repressive colonial measures to crush what can be safely termed as legitimate and justified struggle to expose the misdeeds of the bureaucracy in the Govt.

Thus, Comrades, it is the bounden duty of each and every Comrade of SNEA(I) to out rightly condemn these repressive measures of the Govt. in the strongest possible manner, thereby conveying it to the Govt. that under no circumstances can this Association allow the Govt. to let loose any kind of repressive measures to slaughter legitimate and just trade union activities by invoking repressive colonial measures in the name of maintaining essential services.

We thus appeal to our CSs/SSAs/BSs and activists of the Organization at all the levels to send following Telegram immediately to the Hon’ble PM of India. 

GS has instructed to send Telegrams only.

SNEA(I)/-------Circle/--------SSA/---------Branch of BSNL   dated  09^th Jan.,09.

To

Respected Sh. Manmohan Singh Ji,

Hon’ble Prime Minister of India,

South Block ,Raisina Hill,

New Delhi-110011

Respected Sir,

The members of SNEA(India), -------Circle/-------SSA/----------Branch of BSNL strongly and unequivocally condemn the dastardly and repressive measures let loose by the Govt. in the form of unwarranted arrests, dismissals and suspension of hundreds of officers of the Oil Sector struggling legitimately and democratically to secure justice denied to them by irrational and vested interest bureaucracy of Govt. of India. The officers of the Oil sector are genuinely and seriously agitated over the arbitrary and high handed manner in which the mighty bureaucracy of the Govt. completely diluted the meticulous and scientific recommendations of the 2^nd pay panel constituted by the Govt. to decide pay scales and other related issues of officers of CPSUs. Letting loose of draconian colonial repressive measures to curb and crush democratic trade union movement reminds us of dark Colonial days of the mighty British Empire. We urge upon your Hon’ble self and make a fervent appeal to you to stop the repressive measures forthwith and initiate process of reconciliation not only to restore normalcy but also address the critical and significant issues raised by our agitating fraternal friends from the oil sector failing which we shall be constrained to immediately and actively join our fraternal comrades of the oil sector in their just and legitimate struggle.

Yours Faithfully,

(……………..)

07 th  jan 2009 The BSNL board in its meeting today has approved the new IDA pay scales and 30 % pay fixation as approved by DPE. It is also learned that board has approved E1A / E2A (Mid pay scales) for JTO/SDE as an interim measure and E3, E4 etc. for Sr. SDE, DE etc. Very shortly this will be sent to DoT for final approval and notification being the administrative ministry.

GS along with AGSs Com. Khan, Com. Sebastin & Com. Chandrasekhar met PGM (IR) and discussed 1) JTO(C/E) to SDE (C/E) competitive examination results, 2) JTO(T) to SDE(T) comp. examination and the pattern of examination, 3) Accts examination results for JTO (C/E), SDE/AEE (C/E) and 4) recruitment of JTO (C/E). JTO to SDE (C/E) competitive examination results will be declared after conducting the examination for J&K scheduled to be held on Feb: 15th, 2009.

         We also met GM (Legal) on the issue of seniority of 1966 SDEs and assured us of favourable action.

Modification orders for JTO to SDE comp. quota posting issued >>>>>>>.

06 th  jan 2009 DOT vide order no 40-12/2007-Pen(T) dated 5th Jan. 2009 reiterates that the Govt shall take full responsibility of payment of pension (including family pension) to all the employees of DOT absorbed in BSNL under the statutory provisions of sub rule 21 of Rule 37A of CCS pensionary rules 1972, regardless of whether BSNL is in a position to make pensionary contributions to DOT or not. This is an extremely positive development and sets at rest all the doubts about the responsibility and role of Govt to pay pension to all those absorbed in BSNL from DOT. Association has had been tirelessly struggling to get this clarification issued for the last more than two years.<<Click>>>

Issue of merger of 50% IDA with basic for those having retired prior to 1.1.2007: Association was informed by M(F)/DOT that the file for clearance of this issue is being sent to DPE since DOP & P(W) has informed DOT that they have no role to play in this issue and has suggested to send the file to DPE. A positive note is being sent to DPE by DOT on this issue.

Association met Secy/DOT and expressed its profound gratitude to him for getting the orders relating to payment of pension by the Govt. to absorbed employees of DOT in BSNL issued, after getting due clearance from Department of expenditure (MOF) and DOP & P(W). Secy/DOT assured that he is trying to expedite the clearance of issue of revision of pension on CDA pattern from Ministry of law and said it will take a little more time to get settled. After getting clearance from Ministry of law, the process of absorption of ITS Gr A in BSNL would be expedited and completed as soon as possible, Secy/DOT mentioned. The same assurance was given by M(F)/DOT on the specific issue of revision of pension  on CDA pattern as far as IDA scales are concerned.   

CRs and Special Reports from most of the Circles have not been received so far inspite of the fact that the last date was 31.12.2008. Circle Secretaries and concerned Joint Secretaries, CHQ are requested to ensure that the pending CRs and SRs should reach BSNL CO urgently. The status may be reported to CHQ by the  Jt. Secy./CS by 9th Jan'09 over telephone or sneachq@yahoo.co.in.

05 th  jan 2009 Association writes to CMD BSNL firmly reiterating its stand on introducing standard Pay Scale E2 &E3 for JTO's and SDE,s in case management goes ahead with extending mid scale to JTO &SDE,then,in that situation,we should all be fully ready to resort to industrial action at very short notice .Start gearing up,start getting fully ready for a prolonged struggle.<<<< Click for letter>>>>

02nd jan 2009 Today, our Comrades from Chennai & Tamilnadu Circles met Hon'ble CMD  Shri Kuldeep Goyal who was on his visit to Chennai for South Zone review meeting and submitted a memorandum >>>>>>>>. The team comprised of Com. R Rajan Jt Secy CHQ, Com. H Muthu Treasurer CHQ, Com. Munuswamy Pres. SNEA CHTD, Com. S Venkataraman CS SNEA CHTD, Com. Sundarakrishnan Pres. SNEA TN,Com. R Asokan CS SNEA TN.

GS, AGS, Com Khan, along with President and GS/AIBSNL EA met CMD and discussed following important issues. 

A)    Regularization of existing adhoc STS officers and their promotion to regular JAG and filling up of STS vacancies on regular basis: 

CMD mentioned that consequent upon finalization of Gr A RRs which are likely to be finalized shortly, the process of regularization of adhoc STS officers and their promotion to JAG would commence. Also filling up of STS vacancies on regular basis to the extent of 50% of ST posts would also start immediately. 

B)     Recruitment of JAG officers in specialized areas of business development and growth, marketing, sales, HR etc:

On this important issue, we emphatically mentioned that the entire exercise of recruiting professionals at JAG level in highly specialized areas of business development and growth, sales, marketing etc would be completely defeated in case professionals in these key areas are recruited at SAG level also so that these JAG officers report to professionals in these areas who shall be taking right policy decisions in these critical areas of growth of BSNL. In case these JAG officers have to report to existing SAG officers, having absolutely no background, knowledge and expertise in these crucial areas, the whole process would be derailed. Besides, these JAG and SAG officers to be recruited in these areas should be permanent employees of BSNL, not merely on contractual basis. Recruiting them on contractual basis would prove counterproductive because they would lack sense of belongingness to the organization that is so vital for its growth. Our suggestions were very well received by CMD who assured positive consideration of our suggestions. 

C)    Review of the existing dual promotion policy:  

We were very happy to know from CMD that he does not find any need of having two channels of promotion for executives. Instead, he was of the opinion that promotions up to STS should take place on time bound basis, with change of designations as is prevailing in CPSUs. Promotions to JAG after reaching STS should be linked to availability of posts. There should be no parallel post based promotion up to STS, CMD was of the opinion. We informed CMD that basically this is our demand for which we have struggled a lot, but, unfortunately this basic demand of ours was never agreed to by the BSNL Management. CMD mentioned that he would discuss the issue with the concerned officers on the above lines. 

  D)Formation of exclusive wings for sales and marketing at SSA levels:

      CMD wanted full support of the Associations to introduce a fool proof mechanism to     having exclusive wings of sales and marketing at SSA levels. We assured CMD that his initiatives on this important issue would be fully supported by both the Associations in all respects. It has to be our endeavour, therefore, to ensure that full fledged wings of sales and marketing come into existence at SSA levels. Our CSs, SSA Secy’s and activists of the Organization must get fully and whole heartedly involved in taking serious initiatives to build up these wings in a formidable manner. This is an extremely important challenge before us which has to be taken up with great determination and commitment. 

E) Replacing existing mid scales for JTOs and SDEs by    standard E2 and E3 pay scales as decided by the Govt. 

We explained in detail the entire background of the issue in the context of the classification of BSNL in A+ category bt the pay committee and the decisions of the govt. to introduce standard pay scales for CPSUs in A category. We strongly pleaded with CMD to end the existing anomalous situation of having mid scales by replacing them by standard scales approved by the govt. As far as financial impact of introducing standard pay scales from E2 to E7 is concerned, it is just negligible because all the existing executives have crossed the minimum of standard pay scales. The only limited implications would result in the form of increase of pensionary contribution by BSNL. CMD said that replacing mid scales by standard scales would have to be approved by DPE since mid scales are having approval of DPE. We requested CMD to initiate processing of the scales so that it can be vigorously pursued at DOT and DPE level. CMD assured that he would consider our request.
