Responding to our Organizational Action call, a committee was constituted by the competent th authority. Committee meeting on MT issue held on 30 June 2015 at 10:00 am. General Secretary of AIBSNLEA, AIGETOA, SNEA and AIBSNLOA have participated from association's side. AIBSNLEA, AIGETOA and AIBSNLOA were on the same opinion that MT recruitment must not be done with present notification and need to be withheld. First management should finalize the time bound promotion policy in line with CPSE cadre hierarchy and then must discuss about the any other recruitment if required only at SAG/HAG level Posts. We have also pleaded that all CPSEs make single recruitment of fresh candidates at executive's level and then promote them up to top level by measuring their performance and experience. Same set of promotion policy must be implemented in BSNL. Unfortunately our sister association SNEA (I) conveyed that they are not concerned with external MT recruitment but pleaded that internal MT recruitment must take place on notified date as their members are crossing the age of 50 years. It is well known that present MT RR is having the provision of external and internal both and their seniority is interlinked, there is no possibility of only internal recruitment without scrapping the present MT RR. From Management side GM (Pers/Rect) advocated the external MT as need for the company to acquire fresh talent in BSNL in other words BSNL is having no talent. He was also in the view that only MT can turn around the company. GM (Pers) has offered that let the exam to be conducted and result may be withheld till the finalization of CPSE cadre hierarchy which was rejected by three association i.e. AIGETOA, AIBSNLEA and AIBSNLOA. It is surprising that GS SNEA against his previous claim of implementation of CPSE cadre hierarchy before 15-08-2015, was of the opinion that MT recruitment in current hierarchy must continue till the implementation of CPSE cadre hierarchy in BSNL because, after the implementation of the CPSE cadre hierarchy all the RRs of SDEs/DEs/DGM level executives will be scrapped hence, our people will not be able to become MT. Finally GM (Pers) decided to put the opinion of individual representatives along with his own opinion to the competent authority for taking final decision. Over all talk was failed and forum of AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA decided to go with proposed agitation. Three days nationwide hunger fast called by the united forum of AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA was observed successfully all over India on first day. Executives from the nook and corner of the country participated actively and shown overwhelming support to make the programs a grand success. Realizing the gravity and strength of the agitation, four rounds of talks were held with Senior GM (SR), GM (Pers), Director (HR) and CMD BSNL with the representatives of AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA. Considering our demands and acknowledging the genuineness of the issues raised and the subsequent resentment and unrest amongst the executives, BSNL management informed us that they have deferred the internal and external MT exam for six months. We insisted that since the discussion on CPSU hierarchy is going on in the committee headed by ED (NB), any discussion on the requirement of any fast track mechanism within internal candidates should be held thereafter and MT in any form is not acceptable to us. We also pleaded with management to inform the timeline for TELEWAVE Page-44 AUGUST-2015
