19 th Sep 2008 Promotion orders for  JTO(left out) to SDEs(seven nos.) issued.>>>>>>>>

Letter addressed to CMD BSNL from Joint Forum regarding IPO opinion Poll.>>>>>>>>

Jt forum met to discuss following important issues: 

A) Decision of the BSNL Management to allow private operators to roam on BSNL network: All the constituents of the joint forum were quite vocal and unanimous in their opinion to strongly oppose this counterproductive decision of the BSNL Management which is surely going to jeopardise the growth of BSNL. It was decided to meet CMD/BSNL immediately after his return from abroad and apprise him about the decision of Jt forum and also inform him about the dangerous repercussions of this decision. It was felt in the meantime that complete organizational preparation must be initiated to oppose and reverse this retrograde decision of the BSNL Management. 

B) ITS absorption: It has been unanimously decided that in case ITS officers, after exercising their option for absorption in BSNL/MTNL, decide to opt for DOT, are again sent on deputation to BSNL from DOT, on one pretext or the other, as BSNL management is already contemplating, all the 3.5 lakh executives and non executives will launch a prolonged and militant Country wide struggle seeking their repatriation back to DOT and work in BSNL on deputation basis. To make this struggle successful, already field level units should start making hectic campaign and opinion building. Jt forum will be deciding appropriate, tough and uniform course of action very shortly to ensure repatriation of all absorbed executives and non executives to DOT and their working in BSNL on deputation basis. This issue should be treated as extremely critical one and field units of SNEA(I) should start making sustained and serious efforts to make our repatriation back to DOT a complete success. As things stand, we have absolutely nothing to comment on the decision of ITSA to en masse go back to DOT, since it is their internal organizational affair. 

C) Issue of withdrawal of letter of letter of MOF regarding payment of pension by govt. on 60:40 basis: It is understood that DOE (deptt of expenditure in MOF) has not concurred with the note of DOT, duly approved by Telecom Commission and MOC&IT,  asking MOF to withdraw the order envisaging that govt. will take the responsibility of payment of pension only to the extent of 60% of the revenues it receives from BSNL on account of licence fees, cess tax, dividends etc. The file has been reportedly sent to DOP&PW by MOF. Jt forum has decided to seek an appointment as early as possible with the concerned Minister of DOP&PW to request him to re-examine the note of DOT seeking withdrawal of the arbitrary order of MOF on merits and concrete  commitments made at the time of absorption in BSNL by the govt 

D) Merger of ITI with BSNL: Since the issue of revival of ITI is being examined and discussed by BIFR, it was decided to meet the concerned member Mr Sen Gupta, ex member Planning Commission, dealing with the issue of revival of ITI to explain in detail to him the grave consequences that merger of ITI shall definitely have on the growth of BSNL. However, we have to be extremely vigilant on this issue since a political decision might be taken without consulting either DOT or BSNL Management by the govt. anytime.                            

16th Sep 2008GS & Com. Khan met Dir(F) and thanked him for the support shown by him in approving AAO's Pay Scales. In the meeting various other issues relating to cadre and viability of BSNL were also discussed.

15th Sep 2008GS met Secy/DOT : GS and Jt Secy/(E), Com Madhusudan Mahoto, met Secy/DOT to request his personal intervention in the matter of fixation of pay in respect of those having exercised option to continue in CDA scale till promotion/retirement after absorption in BSNL. GS apprised Secy/DOT about a very positive and self contained note sent recently by DOT to DPE for fresh consideration based on some new facts. Secy/DOT, while assuring of his intervention, advised GS to once meet Secy/DPE and explain in detail the issue to him. Thereafter, Secy/DOT, categorically stated that he would impress upon Secy/DPE to resolve the issue. GS brought to the notice of Secy/DOT as to how hundreds of officials are suffering for about two years on account of non settlement of their pension issue. GS shall try to meet Secy/DPE as shortly as possible since he was out of Country and has returned on 15th Sept.,08 only.

 Meeting with DDG(E)/DOT: GS discussed the issue of total uncertainty on the issue of TES Gr B seniority in view of fixation of seniority of about 50 SDEs and their consequent promotion to adhoc STS on the basis of rule 206. The enormous magnitude of the implications of having two different criterions for fixation of seniority was elaborately explained to DDG(E). However, DDG(E) mentioned that DOT is seeking concrete legal opinion to end the stalemate as quickly as possible.  

Discussion with convenor Jt forum, com V.A.N.Namboodiri: GS informed convenor Jt forum about very dangerous consequences of the decision taken already by the MC of BSNL to allow SWAN INDIA to roam on BSNL network in wireless and all other operational segments. The facility would be extended to all other private operators and this would spell doom for BSNL. It is estimated that BSNL would lose more than 10,000 crores in revenue for one year as a result of this decision. Even when private operators are allowed to use spectrum of BSNL, which is a growing and expanding area of business for BSNL, hen where is the question of stopping TRAI from unbundling last mile copper which is a depleting segment. This decision which is virtually political one is being taken on purely extraneous considerations to finish BSNL and help vested interests to grow. GS suggested direct and immediate industrial action on such decision of BSNL Management which is virtually dictated to the Management which has no strength, commitment and conviction to protect legitimate interests of BSNL. The direct action should be instantaneous and sustained to reverse the decision, GS suggested to convenor Jt forum who assured GS that he would immediately get in touch with other constituents of Jt forum and decide to decide the strategy and plan of action to completely defeat this move. 

Comrades of SNEA(I) at all the levels must maintain highest level of organizational preparedness to respond immediately to the call of the Jt forum on this critical issue. In case we fail to reverse this decision, we shall not be at all in a position to safeguard our jobs.                  

16th Sep 2008 GS spoke to Dir(SU),DOT about the payscales of AAOs. It was confirmed that DOT has approved the AAO pay scales and the orders relating to the same is issued on 15.09.08.Congratulations to the executives of Acounts and Finance wing.  <<Click for Order>>

GS met Jt Secy/DPE and had a detailed discussion with him on various aspects of the issue of processing of the recommendations of the 2nd pay panel submitted by Justice Rao committee. Jt Secy/DPE informed GS that the issue of processing of the recommendations of the committee was being dealt with the highest priority by the DPE and hopefully in another three to four weeks time the recommendations would be sent to the Union Cabinet for its consideration and approval. 

On the issue of deferred option to continue in CDA pay scale till the date of promotion/retirement, which has yet again been positively and comprehensively  referred to DPE by DOT, Jt/secy assured that the issue would be reconsidered in the light of fresh facts mentioned by DOT only after the 2nd pay panel recommendations are processed and sent to the Union Cabinet by DPE, since all the officials and officers are presently completely preoccupied with the processing of 2nd pay panel recommendations. 

Meeting with new DDG(P)/BSNL, Sh. R.K.Mishra: GS met new DDG(P)/BSNL and discussed with him the issues of expediting the issuing of  promotion orders from JTO to SDE against competitive and seniority cum fitness quota. DDG(P) solicited cooperation of our Association in issuing the both promotion orders and informed that he was in constant touch with the CGMs on both the issues. We appeal to our CSs to put in their best efforts to send the required information regarding both the seniority cum fitness as well as competitive quota. We shall very shortly be putting up elaborate details required by BSNL Hqs regarding seniority cum fitness DPC on our site. This DPC has to be completed as expeditiously as possible and, in order to achieve this, complete support and involvement of our office bearers and activists at all the levels in sending CRs of the eligible JTOs is absolutely essential. DDG(P) is also very keen to issue the orders as quickly as possible, since Director(HRD) has asked him to complete the DPC and issue seniority cum fitness quota orders within a definite time frame. It really depends on us as to how quickly field units send the required information, including the
