News – 2nd Pay Panel Report.
Union Cabinet is learnt to be taking decision on the
recommendations of the 2nd Rao Committee for CPSUs in its meeting
on 20th Nov.,08. DPE has made amendments to the recommendations
of the Rao committee based on the decisions emerging out of series of
meetings of Committee of Secretaries (COSs) constituted by the
government to sort out some of the contentious issues raised by various
administrative ministries. Final draft submitted by DPE to the Cabinet
Secretary for final approval by the govt. contains the changes suggested by
(COSs).
Rally
of United forum from BSNL Corporate office to parliament street, New Delhi.
About 2000 executives of the United forum participated in a
massive rally which started from BSNL corporate office and was intercepted
by police at Parliament street police station. The rally was addressed by
GS/TEAM, GS/AIBSNL EA, GS/MTNL EA, GS/ SNEA(I) and Com M.K.Bagchi, ex-GS/JTOA(I).
The enthusiasm and motivation of the participants of the rally was simply
superb, with everyone reiterating his resolve to struggle to the last drop
of his blood till the issue reaches its logical conclusion i.e repatriation
of all the absorbed executives of BSNL/MTNL to DOT.
Later on, a memorandum was submitted to Jt Secy/DOT by the
GSs of all the constituents of the United forum, since Secy/DOT is out of
Country and is expected to return on 24th Nov,08. We explained in
detail our stand to Jt Secy/DOT and unequivocally conveyed to him that
executives of BSNL/MTNL mean serious and real business in terms of
completely ending the present dual policy of the govt. by repatriating all
the absorbed executives of BSNL/MTNL to DOT. We also conveyed it to him that
very shortly there would be a war like situation in both BSNL/MTNL when the
resolution of the United forum that no absorbed executive would report to or
obey the orders of the deputationists after 22nd Dec.,08 would be
enforced by the United forum. The internal strife that will arise because of
our total defiant stand to blatantly disobey the orders of outsiders after
22nd Dec.,08 must be avoided by DOT by acting concretely and
decisively on the resolution of the United forum i.e repatriation of all
absorbed executives to DOT from BSNL/MTNL, clearly we impressed upon Jt Secy/DOT,
asking him to convey it to the concerned authorities.
Comrades of SNEA(I) from Rajasthan, UP(W) and Haryana also
participated in the rally in huge numbers. CHQ is extremely thankful to them
for coming all the way to participate in the rally and express their
complete solidarity and support.
We have received information that rallies/demonstrations were
held at Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Lucknow etc and memoranda were
submitted to the respective Governors at these places. We are yet to receive
information from other Circles.
*
Final draft for promulgation of Gr A RRs based on the understanding
reached between the Management and the United forum of BSNL executives
shall be submitted to the Management Committee of BSNL for its
consideration and final approval very shortly. We are quite vigilant on
this issue.

Restoration of seniority of 1966 TES Gr B officers is also getting into
the final stages and we expect it to be resolved very soon.

Judicial scrutiny of arbitrary allocation of 2G spectrum
by DOT recently to about 121 applicants resulting in alleged loss of about
50,000 crores to the government has begun. Stand of the Association on the
issue of 2G spectrum allocation is getting vindicated.
Hon’bleHigh Court of Delhi has issued notices to the Union of India asking it to
explain as to what first come first serve policy for allocation of 2 G
recently allocated spectrum to about 121 applicants many of them real estate
developers on a price decided in 2001 for the entry of fourth operator
means. Delhi High Court has issued notices to the Union of India on a PIL
despite very stiff opposition from the government counsel and the counsels
representing the 121 applicants. The plea of the government as well as the
applicants that petition on a similar matter is pending in TDSAT did not cut
much ice since Delhi High Court never wanted the PIL to be drifted in a
different direction altogether.
It is extremely pertinent to mention here that this
Association was the only forum in BSNL to raise the issue from different
platforms regarding arbitrary allocation of 2G spectrum and consequent loss
of about 50,000 crores to the exchequer in a vociferous manner. This
Association raised fundamental questions about the allocation of spectrum in
a non transparent manner, completely ignoring the timely warnings from the
PMOs office, Finance Ministry and CVC. The issues raised by this Association
more than six months before are clearly contained in the PIL filed in Delhi high Court. How the
value of Swan and Unitech, having no expertise or infrastructure in
Telecom,, enormously swelled by selling part of their equity to foreign big
players and vested interests. Swan which obtained 2 G spectrum at a
throwaway price of 1651 crores is today valued at more than 8000 crores by
selling its 45% equity to Etisalat, a telecom company of UAE.
BSNL Management, under pressure from DOT, went a step ahead
in allowing Swan to share its infrastructure, including wireless, so as to
help it to start wireless operations in the Country. This was also very
strongly protested by us. This Association shall tirelessly and fearlessly
continue its struggle against all such telecom policies of the government
which are intended to help private companies at the cost of the exchequer
and the growth of the BSNL.

direction.

Stand of the Association on
Retrospective Seniority fixation of TES Gr B officers against competitive
quota: DOT gave retrospective
seniority to 270 TES Gr B against competitive quota in the year 2001 on the
basis of what we gathered was Judgment of CAT Bangalore. In fact,
retrospective seniority to competitive quota was given prior to 2001 also.
On challenge, this retrospective seniority of 270 SDES was set aside by CAT
Madras against which DOT filed writ petition in Chennai High Court in 2001.
Chennai High Court set aside the writ petitions of DOT in the year 2008,
upholding the Judgment of Chennai CAT delivered in 2001. When the Judgment
of Chennai High Court was challenged in Supreme Court, it directed DOT to
maintain status quo. The case is now pending in Supreme Court where it is
expected to come up for final hearing shortly. In the meanwhile, DOT
published provisional seniority list of about 147 TES Gr B officers having
appeared in the qualifying cum competitive examinations in the years 2000
and 2003 according to the directions of Ernakulan High Court, extending them
also the principle of retrospective seniority on the lines of 270 SDEs in
2001.
Immediately after the provisional list was issued in
respect of 147 SDEs, and Supreme Court directed DOT to maintain staus quo
with regard to Judgment of Chennai High Court, we had very close and
prolonged interactions with the concerned officers of DOT and pleaded with
them not to finalize the provisional seniority list of these 147 SDEs till
disposal of the case in Supreme Court. Our argument was that since these 147
SDEs have been given retrospective seniority by extending the principle of
270 SDES, and since retrospective seniority of 270 SDEs is under challenge
in Supreme Court which has directed maintaining of status quo, it would be
appropriate for DOT to wait for the final outcome of the case in Supreme
Court before finalizing the provisional seniority of 147 SDEs. The concerned
officers of DOT assured us of seeking comprehensive legal advice in the
matter before finalizing the provisional seniority of 147 SDEs. Accordingly,
the file containing the entire background of the case along with all the
relevant Court Judgments was sent to the legal advisor of DOT who is a Jt/Secy
level officer from ministry of law. Legal Advisor/DOT, we were informed,
suggested going ahead with finalization of the provisional seniority of 147
SDEs, and final seniority list of these 147 SDEs giving them retrospective
seniority was issued by DOT. Out of these 147 SDEs, about 50 have been
promoted to adhoc STS very recently.
After all these developments, the Association has
decided to file an impleading application in Supreme Court where the whole
issue particularly the very basic principle of deciding whether
retrospective seniority fixation extended to 270 SDEs and subsequently to
147 SDEs is justified or not is going to be adjudicated. The Association has
already collected necessary documents and handed over the same to our lawyer
who shall very shortly be filing an impleading application in Supreme Court.
All the relevant facts in support of the adversely affected SDEs shall be
placed before the Supreme Court. We shall have to wait for the final outcome
of the case in the Supreme Court.
GS
and AGS, Com Khan, had very extensive and useful discussions with
GM(personnel) and DGM(personnel) on the vital issues of finalization of Gr A
RRs and recruitment of MTs. We impressed upon GM(Personnel) to fully
incorporate the decisions that have been taken in the joint committee of
BSNL Management and the United forum of executives. We reiterated the
crucial decisions taken by the Joint Committee like integration between
promotee STS and MTs at JAG in the ratio of 1;1, filling up of 50% STS posts
on regular basis by TES Gr B and equivalent and the remaining on adhoc,
regularization of existing adhoc STS to the extent of 50% of posts of STS,
granting of necessary relaxation to regular STS in terms of requisite
qualifying service for regular promotion to JAG etc. GM(Personnel) assured
that the memoranda of understanding between the United forum and BSNL
Management would be fully upheld and all the above cited important decisions
would be incorporated while finalizing Gr A RRs. Gr A RRs are expected to be
finalized very shortly, GM(Personnel) informed us.
Imparting of E2 to E3 training at RTTC/Hyderabad: Due to our strenuous efforts, Director(HRD) has approved RTTC/Hyderabad
for imparting E2 to E3 trainings. We are making hectic efforts to enlist
RTTC/Lucknow also for imparting E2 to E3 trainings.
3rd Circle Conference of J&K Circle at Jammu.
3rd Circle Conference of J&K Circle was held at
Jammu on 29th /30th Oct.,08. All the SSAs participated
in the conference. GS addressed the delegate session on the evening of 29th
Oct. 08 and in detail apprised the representative council of all the
developments at the Central level. An interactive session with the delegates
was quite absorbing and interesting.
A colourful open session on
the evening of 30th Oct.,08 was held at Hotel K.C.Residency which
was addressed by CGM/J&K, GMTD/Jammu, GM(A), GM(D) and GM(O), besides GS and
CS/J&K, Com Mahaldar. The issues of very tardy growth of mobile services in
J&K Circle due to complete indecisiveness of GM(Mobile)
were focused by CS in his address. GS in his address also underlined the
need of taking quick decisions and sought immediate and decisive
intervention of CGM/J&K to break the deadlock. CGM in his address assured
the house that immediate action to roll out phase 5.1 of mobile services
would be initiated.
Com Abdul Rashid and Com
S.K.Mahaldar were unanimously elected as Circle President and Circle
Secretary respectively.
