14.02.2012: United Forum of BSNL Executives' Associations gave letter to BSNL Management for deferment of Programmes of Organisational Actions commencing from 15th Feb'2012 <<Click Here for letter>>  

We extend our sincere thanks to our fighting comrades for their full involvement and commitment.

14.02.2012:UNITED FORUM ORGANISATIONAL ACTION  PROGRAMME DEFERRED: The organisational action call given by United Forum of BSNL Executives' Associations comprising AIBSNLEA, SNEA(I) and AIGETOA demanding implementation of CPSU Cadre hierarchy, Finalization of E-2 & E-3  standard IDA pay scales for JTO and SDE equivalent executives and withdrawal of Sr. DGM BSNL SLD RRs-2011 has only been deferred following the meetings with Director(HR) BSNL on 13^th and 14^th Feb'2012 with the representatives of these associations. Our compulsion to go on agitation was understood by Director (HR) and he assured that he will try to resolve our genuine demands. The deferment of the organisational action programmes has given an opportunity to BSNL Management to change its attitude and settle the issues at the earliest. The United Forum agitation programmes of three days Mass Dharna, Work According to Rule Programme and Non Co-operation movement could have seriously affected the telecommunication services of the country.

The response of our members throughout the county was overwhelming for making the call a grand success. But the intervention of Director(HR) and his positive attitude created a situation to defer the agitation programme. We hope that BSNL Management will take immediate steps to constitute a committee to examine the demands and their solutions.

On our side, now wait for the outcome of the present initiative of BSNL Management to implement the CPSU Cadre hierarchy, finalization of E-2 & E-3 standard IDA pay scales for JTO and SDE equivalent executives and restoration of 600 JAG posts in DGM grade. In case the management fails or again tries to play with us, we shall not hesitate to give them a befitting reply. Let us keep ourselves ready to resume the struggle.  <<Click here for letter >>

The Chief Guest was Sri. J.V. Raja Reddy, the General Manager of Thanjavur SSA. We invited Major. Mohamed Ashraf Khan, our CGM for addressing the seminar as the Chief Guest, he could not come as he was pre-occupied with  the CMD Programme scheduled in the eleventh hour. Com.Venu, our CHQ President and Com.V.K. Paramasivam, Advisor, CHQ were the special invitees to address the seminar and the subjective committee meeting held in the afternoon.

The seminar on "Future Strategy on BSNL survival after ITS repatriation"  was inaugurated by the Circle Secretary.  The General Manager, TNJ SSA, Com. P. Venu, CHQ President, Com.Guru,ACS, Com.Bangaru, ACS, Com. Venkatesan, BS/CDL SSA, Com.Palaniappan, BS/MA SSA, Com.Ganesh, BS/STR/Chennai, Com.Rajamanickam, BS/CBT SSA, Com.Subramaniam, BP/Trichy SSA, Com.Usman of CBT SSA and Com.Ragupathy, BP/SLM SSA  participated in the seminar.  The General Manager pointed out the immediate requirements for the survival and the justification in the SLDRR, 2011. He mentioned the present role of trade unions which was unwarranted and unhelpful for the survival of BSNL. The Circle Secretary submitted the demerits of SLDRR, 2011 and the reasons  why we all under UF platform rised to fight it out tooth and nail.  The seminar was well attended. In addition to our local members, the office bearers of sister organisations also attended on our invitation. The leaders of SNEA, NFTE-BSNL, BSNLEU, SEWA graced the meeting and spoke in the seminar. The hall was fully packed till the end of the seminar.  The seminar ended with the vote of thanks by Com.Sivakumar, the CWC member.

Com.VKP, the Advisor explained that through our consistent agitational  programmes we conducted we were able to get a ommittment on refund of BWA spectrum charges and order on minimum pension contribution which would save huge BSNL money. The repatriation issue became serious only after our programmes. We got all the facilities including the higher pay just because of our organisation. We have to educate our members.

After detail discussion by our participants Com. P. Venu finally spoke on the financial matters that pose a threat to BSNL survival. The CMD did not want to send the ITS officers out but the Secretary, DOT was not for it and requested to wait for some time. There need not be two pension rules for BSNL under Rule 37 and Rule 37 A.  The upgradation of 600 DGM posts to Sr.DGM posts would block the promotional prospects of young DR JTOs/ JAOs and promotees. We would allow the SLDRR, 2011 to be implemented. Only through serious form of actions we could stop it, he added.

To conclude the meet, Com.Muhilan, the president, TNJ/ SSA expressed vote of thanks. With this, the CEC meeting was announced to be ended by the Circle President.    <<Click Here for Glimpses>>

The CS brought to the notice of the CEC that  the Kerala  Circle Administration    is determined to stop all officiating promotions with effect from 1.4.2012 on certain flimsy grounds only to impart harassment  to executives  who made the one day strike of 15^th Dec 2011 a success.

The impact of this decision  is severe on the fate of more than 250 officiating JTOs  in Kerala Circle  who are  active and paid members of AIBSNLEA Kerala. The Circle Secretary stated that  none of the suggestions put forward by the CHQ of our Association  in the matter of regularization of Officiating JTOs has been accepted by the BSNL Authorities so far.  But  the BSNL management  was very prompt  in  resolving the  issues related to the illegal  accommodation of  un absorbed ITS officers .  They have been given all protections  for a back door entry  to BSNL.
The Circle Secretary also  suggested that a new form of agitation  is to be adopted instead of the conventional  trade union actions  that proved  not so effective and result oriented . 

Com.P. Venugopal  President AIBSNLEA CHQ   addressed the CEC  & replied all queries  raised by the members. Customer delight year was dropped because of complaints received regarding shortage of cable drop wire , modem etc. He explained  the views of our Association  in the matter of VRS, ITS repatriation , Recruitment Policy etc.
