LATEST:

18/05/2012 :-STATUS OF ITS OFFICERS ABSORPTION ISSUE: Hon'ble High Court, Delhi outrightly dismissed the modification application filed by BSNL seeking 25 months time for repatriation of unabsorbed ITS officers working in BSNL.Even desperate plea made by the BSNL counsel to give time upto 31st December, 2012 was rejected by the Hon'ble Court. Hon'ble HC while dismissing the application of BSNL directed it to complete repatriation process by 30th Sept, 2012.

Intervention application was filed by AIBSNLEA, BSNLEU and SNEA(I). Even though the intervention application was also dismissed, yet counsel appearing for these asociations/unions strongly opposed the move of ITS controlled BSNL Management for extension of time. Intervention application was not admitted on technical grounds since we are not party in the original application. Further course of legal action is being discussed with our counsel.

GM(Pers.), DGM(SR) and AGM(SR) conducted a meeting with the representatives of United Forum of BSNL Executives' Associations in response to the notice given on dated 05.01.2012. United Forum demanded to abandon lateral entry RRs to recruit Sr. DGMs and GMs/PGMs/CGMs in contravention of existing BSNLMS RRs and finalization of standard IDA pay scales of E2 and E3 for JTO and SDE equivalent executives.

United Forum strongly protested against the unilateral notification of lateral entry RRs to rehabilitate non optee ITS officers in BSNL through back door entry. UF demanded first to fill up all vacant Group-'A' level posts by its own eligible executives. UF also demanded that E2 & E3 IDA pay scales should immediately be finalized since the pension contribution is now being paid on actual basic pay & implementation of CPSUs cadre hierarchy.

After detailed discussions, Director(HR) mentioned that implementation of CPSUs cadre hierarchy & finalization of E2 & E3 IDA pay scales can be discussed but the recruitment at Sr. DGM / GM / PGM / CGM level is immediately required due to sudden shortage arises in these grades on implementing DoT repatriation order.

UF during discussions found the reluctant attitude of BSNL Management & not considering our demands, has decided to intensify organisational action programmes as under :-

(i) Mass Dharna on 20th Jan'2012 at all SSAs/Circles/BSNL HQ level
(ii) 3 Days Mass Dharna w.e.f. 15th Feb'2012 to 17th Feb'2012 at all SSAs / Circles / BSNL CO level

04.01.2012: United Forum of BSNL Executives Associations (AIBSNLEA, SNEA(I) & AIGETOA) in its meeting held on 04.01.2012 decided to strongly oppose the arbitrary decision of BSNL Management for outside recruitment at Sr. DGM Grade by

(i) Filling up of all the DGM Posts from the BSNL Executives itself as thousands of Executives having the requisite qualification and experience are available within BSNL.

(ii) To extend standard pay scales of E2,E3, E4 - E7 as there is no justification for denying the same further as the pension contribution issue is being resolved, BSNL is recruiting unabsorbed ITS at a higher scale and extending even pay protection who are getting all the terminal benefits from Govt and recruiting more than double officers at higher level.
Notice will be issued shortly. All the CHQ Office bearers, Circle/ Branch Secretaries are requested to get ready for the struggle.

25.11.2011: DIrector(HR) writes to Jt. Secy(T), DoT regarding clarification on resignation -<<Click Here for letter..>> and the said letter of the BSNL Management suggests the following,

(i) ITS officers on technical resignation get full govt. pension & all other retirement benefits.

(ii) Get full salary in the form of pay protection on their so called fabricated diabolical senority of Govt. servant on appointment in BSNL through technical recruitment in BSNL including for the service rendered in DOT

(iii) Maintain their UPSC seniority even after resignation from DOT and fresh recruitment in BSNL.

ITS dominated BSNL Management game plan is exposed in the above communication made by BSNL Management to DoT to take back ITS Offciers under different absorption conditions. About 4.5 lakhs Group-'A', 'B', 'C' and 'D' employees were absorbed from DoT to BSNL w.e.f. 01.10.200 with Pension Rule 37(a). The fact remains that majority of the Group-'A' officers belonging to Telecom/Finance/Accounts, Telecom Civil/ Electrical/ Arch./TF Engineering Wings took absorption in BSNL/MTNL but the majority of ITS Offciers don't excersie option in favour of BSNL/MTNL on one pretext or the other. It is understood that as per the Govt. policy; a Govt. deptt. converted to PSU can't have two type of absorption conditions with different pension rules.

ITS Officers in a calculated way defeated the process of absorption of Group-'A' officers in BSNL/MTNL & now along ITS entry in BSNL/MTNL through backdoor. It will pave the way to litigations, which will further adversely affect the viability of BSNL.

BSNL/MTNL excutives, non-excutives are devoted & fully committed for the growth of both the companies. The survival of the compnies, is the survival of its employees bread. BSNL/MTNL Managent should entrust the responsibility to its committed work force rather than the ITS officers, who dis-own absorption in BSNL/MTNL.

17.11.2011: Meeting with Shri Milind Deora, Hon'ble MOSC&IT: GS. President AIBSNLEA, GS, AGSs of SNEA(I), GS/TEAM & GS/MEA of MTNL met Hon'ble MOS for C&IT Sh. Milind Deora & expressed their sincere gratitude & thanks for granting us meeting. We discussed with MOSC&IT the status of absorption process of Group -'A' officers in BSNL/MTNL and apprised MOSC&IT about sinister efforts and game plan of BSNL/ MTNL Managements to derail the process.

Hon'ble MOSC&IT appreciated our concern and sought our opinion about how the issue can be resolved. We explained the repatriation order of DoT issued on 03.11.2011 is not being implemented in true sense by BSNL/MTNL managements on the pretext that without the presence of ITS Officers it is difficult to run both the PSUs which is totally unfounded and misleading. We informed MOSC&IT that more than 54,000 absorbed Group-'A' and Group-'B' level executives are available in BSNL/MTNL to maintain flawless Telecom services & are committed to the growth of both these Companies. ITS dominated BSNL/MTNL managements have more trust on the deputationists instead of its own absorbed Group-'A' level executives due to their cadre affinity, we informed MOSC&IT. Even the charge on repatriation of some ITS officers have been given to the deputationist ITS officers instead of absorbed Gr A officers only who are ultimately going to be repatriated. This is deliberate conspiracy of both the managements to sabotage the process of repatriation, we further informed MOSC&IT.

Hon'ble MOSC&IT gave a very patient hearing fully understanding the implications of continuing duality on viability of BSNL/MTNL and mentioned that he is fully aware of the issue and assured he will try for early solution of the problem. MOSC&IT was fully convinced that BSNL/MTNL should have their own managements.

17.11.2011: GS, President AIBSNLEA, GS, AGSs SNEA(I) , GS TEAM (MTNL) & GS(MEA) MTNL met the concern officer of DoT and discussed the ongoing situation of ITS absorption issue in BSNL/MTNL. We expressed our serious resentment against the non implementation of DoT order dated 03.11.2011, which is adversely affecting the viability of BSNL/MTNL. On our query that whether DoT has revised the above order to stop further repatriation of deputationists. Concern Officers of DoT categorically mentioned that there is no change in DoT order and all deputationists are to be relieved compulsorily. It was informed that as per the BSNL/MTNL management feedback the existing executives are not interested to own the higher / additional responsibilities. On this we explained that it not true since the charge is not at all offered to them. They assured to look into the matter.

16.11.2011: Decisions taken in the JAC Meeting held on 16^th November 2011: The meeting of the Joint Action Committee held on 16^th November 2011 took very important decisions with regard to defending the BSNL and its workers.

7.9.2011 : JAC Meeting: Decisions taken in the meeting of the JAC held on 7th Sept. 2011

A meeting of the Joint Action Committee of the BSNL Associations / Unions of the Executives and Non-Executives was held on 7th September 2011 at the National Council office and the following decisions were taken:

1. Protest Dharna on 14th September 2011 against curtailment of existing facilities : The meeting strongly opposed the orders issued by the BSNL management withdrawing the existing facilities of encashment of leave on LTC, freezing the All India LTC for two years and stopping the BSNLMRS allowance without voucher. These facilities have been granted after detailed discussion and agreement. The present orders are arbitrary and anti-worker.

The JAC, therefore, decided to organise massive dharnas at SSA/Circle/Corporate Office level on 14th September 2011 in protest against the above order and demanding the management to immediately withdraw the same. All the District Secretaries are urged to make the programme a big success.

2. Protest against PFRDA Bill : The implications and anti-worker provisions of the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) Bill presented in the Parliament and referred to the Standing Committee was explained by the Convener. The Central/ State Government and PSU employees and Pensioners have already held an All India Convention and has decided to oppose the anti-worker bill and to present a memorandum to the President / Prime Minister signed by crore of workers and supporters. A Parliament March will be organised on 29th November 2011. PFRDA Bill is also against the interest of the BSNL pensioners and also to those who are recruited after 01-10-2000 who will get pension as per the New Pension Scheme (NPS).

The JAC meeting decided to be part of this movement to save the pension of the BSNL workers and participate in the programme decided by the All India Convention including in the Parliament March.

All the District Secretaties / CWC members / District office bearers are requested to mobilize & participate actively for the successful implementation of Dharna Programme on 14th Sept'2011.
