31.01.2009 : The Organisational Action Programmes Call given by United Forum of BSNL Executives’ Associations for Demonstrations & Mass Dharna w.e.f. 02.02.2009 has to be implemented with complete success. 2nd Pay Revision Committee recommendation notified by DPE, Govt. of India and approved by BSNL Board were about to be approved by DoT for issuance of Presidential Directives but meanwhile CMD, BSNL called back the proposal for review. It’s a insult  to the entire absorbed Executives’ in BSNL. BSNL Management attempt to dilute the 2nd PRC recommendations can’t be tolerated. BSNL Management is undermining the strength of Executives and wants to put them into maximum disadvantageous situation i.e. non-regularization of adhoc STS Executives on the pretext of non-finalization of Group 'A' RRs, non holding of DPCs to fillup vacant STS posts and by diluting 2nd PRC recommendations etc. It is the high time to show executives strength by implementing the organisational action programmes. The agitation waves should reach to BSNL Corporate Office, New Delhi.
30.01.2009: United Forum of BSNL Executives' Associations served Notice for protest actions wef 2nd Feb to 6th Feb.,09 against deliberate and calculated attempt on the part of the BSNL Management to withhold issuing of orders relating to implementation of new IDA pay scales along with fixation and payment of allowances in accordance with the decisions of DPE, Govt. of India. The following countery wide protest ations are to be implemented

(A) Lunch/closing hour demonstrations at Corporate Office /CGM/SSA level on 2nd, 3rd and 4th Feb.,09

(B)    Full day Dharna at Corporate Office/CGM/SSA level on 5th and 6th Feb.,09.

In case necessary orders are not issued by 6th Feb.,09, the protest actions would be further intensified by resorting to other programmes of organizational actions. All the CHQ Office Bearers, Circle / Branch Secretaries are rquested to mobilize for making the Organisational Action Programme a complete Success. Click Here for Programme

29.01.2009 : GS , President and GS, AGS SNEA (I) met the concerned authorities of DOT for early issuance of the Presidential Directive on 2nd PRC report as recommended by BSNL Board. It was informed that CMD BSNL has asked to return the proposal to BSNL Management to review the earlier recommendations in view of the present financial health of the company. It was most irritating and frustrating news to us since yesterday afternoon everything was favourable. It was also confirmed that DOT has sent the letter to CMD BSNL in this regard today.  

29.01.2009 : GS, President, FS and GS, AGS SNEA (I) met CMD BSNL. Dir (HRD), ED (Fin), GM (SR), GM (CA) and GM (Commercial) were also present. We expressed our serious resentment against calling back to review the proposal on 2nd PRC which was already recommended by BSNL Board to DOT for approval. We strongly resented against such act of BSNL Management to frustrate and demoralise the absorbed Employees. We registered our protest and categorically told that if the Govt. decision on 2nd PRC and the BSNL Board recommendations are diluted in any manner it will not be tolerated and entire Executives will be forced to go on agitation. CMD tried to convince that BSNL profit is declining every month and due to the financial health of the company the earlier Board decision needs review. We further mentioned that the growth and financial health of the company depend on the policies and decisions at top level. We are at the Execution level wherein if any lapse or failure is there, we can be held responsible but that is not the fact. Our senior officers leading the organisation are working under uncertainty which is mostly affecting the viability of BSNL. CMD mentioned that since sufficient equipment is available in the field units why we are failing in increasing the BSNL’s market share. During discussions he admitted that BSNL is failing in its marketing and sales strategies. We appreciated his concern and expressed our feelings that we are equally concern for the viability of BSNL because the survival of BSNL is the survival of our ‘Bread and Butter’. But we can not compromise on our salary which is already recommended by the Government and on which our whole family depends.  

We resented against non-finalisation of Gr. A RRs and regularisation of adhoc STS officers in BSNL despite of several assurances given in informal / formal meetings. We also expressed our dissatisfaction against non-holding of the DPC to fill up about 2500 DE’s vacant posts and keeping away the Executives’ Associations from the ambitious project of reviewing and restructuring the business process, HR review, sales and marketing etc. being carried out by a consultant viz. Boston Consulting Group (BCG). The views / suggestions of the Executives’ Associations which are important stake holder in BSNL are not being called for, whereas the views of the deputanists are only being taken into account. CMD BSNL apprecited our concern and directed the concerned officers to take necessary steps in this regard. 

In the above background United Forum of BSNL Executives’ Associations has decided to launch organisational action programmes immediately. The notice for the same will be issued shortly. All the CHQ Office Bearers, Circle/Branch Secretaries are requested to mobilize for successful implementation of the organisational action programmes to defeat the ulterior motives of the BSNL Management.

15-01-2009: GS, AGS(HQ), FS met Shri R Bandhyopadhyay Secy DPE Govt of India & thanked him for release of 2nd Pay Revision Committee Recommendations & discussed:-

(A) We expressed our dis-satisfaction against reducing five categories of CPSUs i.e. A+, A, B, C, D to A, B, C, D wherein BSNL was categorised A+ CPSU. Secy DPE mentioned that Committee of group of Secretaries after analysing the scales recommended by 2nd PRC decided four categories instead of five categories CPSUs justifying that due to higher span of the Pay Scales it will not give much difference. In the recent strike of Oil Sectors CPSUs the demand of A+ category was not accepted.

(B) E2, E3 pay scales to JTO & SDE equivalent Executives and the E4, E5, E6 pay scales to Sr.SDE, DE, DGM equivalent Executives- In this regard Secy DPE mentioned that Govt has notified the IDA Pay Scales structure. The respective CPSUs are to decide the scales to their Executives. The above scales can be decided by the BSNL Board itself which do not need the approval of DPE. The IDA pay scales of Directors & CMD only needs the approval of DPE.

(C) 50% IDA merger with Basic of Pensioners and Pension Revision- Secy DPE mentioned  that in IDA Pay Scales no such provision exists in view of the other fitment benefits, allowances, perks and PRP etc. As per PRC report the Performance Related Pay (PRP) of any profit making CPSU can be from 40% to 200% which is not in CDA Pay Scale. The BSNL Pension is as per Govt Pension Rules which is  under rule 37A,  can be sorted out by DOT.

(D) Deferred Option from CDA to IDA Pay Scales- Secy DPE  mentioned that no such provision exists in IDA pay scales as per DPE guide lines. The issue is to be resolved by DOT itself.
