30.06.2010 : Mega Promotion Order from SDE (T) to DE (Adhoc) issued : Historical achievement : CONGRATULATIONS !! Consistent and untiring efforts of AIBSNLEA yielded result in getting released the promotion order of 1679 SDEs (T) to DE (Adhoc). 1530 DEs on promotion have been given posting in the same Circles accept 149 SDEs i.e. 73 from CHTD, 52 from STR and 17 to NE-II, 7 to NE-I from some Circles due to non-availability of vacant posts of DEs. The SDEs of promoted from OC category are 1308 (up to seniority no. 15300), from SC category are 286 (up to seniority no. 16221.1) and from ST category are 85 (up to seniority no. 24491).

AIBSNLEA ensured for strict implementation of SC-ST point to point roster. This DPC was initiated in January 2009 to fill up 2400 DEs vacant posts on adhoc basis but delayed due to some court cases and after finalisation of court cases again restarted in June 2010 and found that during the period many OC/SC/ST SDEs have retired. Hence in absence of ACRs / VCRs of required SC/ST SDEs, the OC candidates promotion could not be made. Though their ACRs / VCRs were available for DPC.

AIBSNLEA expressed its serious resentment against non-filling up of 2400 DEs posts as approved by the competent authority and demanded that the required ACRs/VCRs of eligible SC/ST candidates should immediately be called to fill up all vacant DEs posts immediately. Director (HR) assured that immediately the ACRs/VCRs of all eligible OC/SC/ST SDEs will be called and he directed GM (Pers) to issue the promotion order to fill up all vacant DEs posts by the end of July 2010. All the CHQ office bearers, Circle/Branch Secretaries are requested to ensure immediate sending of the ACRs / VCRs of the eligible SDEs to BSNL CO.

We are extremely thankful to the CMD, Dir (HR), GM (Pers), DGM (Pers), CVO, DGM (Vig) and the officers and staff of Pers Cell and Vigilance Cell for their extraordinary efforts in completing the DPC process and issuing the posting order on promotion. We request all newly promoted DEs to contribute more with greater zeal and motivation for the growth of BSNL.

17.06.2010 : Joint Action Committee Meeting : JAC meeting held today to discuss the developments after implementation of Demonstration on 14.06.2010 and Massive Dharna on 16.06.2010. JAC expressed its serious concern against Govt's letter to BSNL Management for the payment of BWA Spectrum Charges of Rs. 8313.86 crores by 22^nd June 2010 positively. JAC also expressed its serious resentment against the payment of 3G Spectrum fees of Rs. 10,178 crores and demanded its refund and not to make the payment of BWA Spectrum Charges or payment for few Circles only where BSNL actually need BWA Spectrum.

JAC also expressed its serious concern against wiping out of BSNL's reserve funds by paying Rs. 10,178 crores for 3G Spectrum charges, Rs. 8313.86 crores for BWA Spectrum Charges to be paid by 22^nd June 2010 (if paid), Rs. 4000 crores estimated payment for Non-Executive wage revision arrears, about Rs. 4500 crores for separate reserve fund to be created for leave encashment and about Rs. 3000 crores to meet out the deficit of the current FY. Hence the BSNL's present reserve of about Rs. 28000 crores will be finished by the end of Dec 2010. In view of the above facts, in January 2011, BSNL will not have any reserve fund and all the expenditure (including salary) will depend upon cash inflow (collection through Circles). In case of insufficient funds it is presumed that all the expenditures will be met out through the aid of Govt, if any, or managed through loan from outside.

JAC on the above issues will immediately send detailed protest letter to the Govt. and will meet to CMD BSNL, Secy (T), Hon'ble MoC&IT and Hon'ble Prime Minister of India demanding waiving off BWA Spectrum Charges and refund of 3G Spectrum Charges already paid in view of BSNL being state owned company and its continuous decline in profit or BSNL should be given freedom to provide its services in the areas of its choice as in case of private operators.

09.06.2010 : Joint Action Committee (JAC) Meeting : JAC leaders met today to discuss and analyse the status of demands / assurances given by Hon'ble MoC&IT in the meeting held on 20.04.2010 during Indefinite Strike. JAC after detailed discussions and analysing the actions taken by DOT / BSNL expressed its serious dissatisfaction that there is no seriousness in DOT for the redressal of the JAC demands and on the assurances given by Hon'ble MoC&IT. Even after a lapse of 1 month and 20 days period the Cabinet Note on IDA pension revision and ITS officers' absorption issues has not been prepared and circulated to nodal ministries, whereas the assurance was given that within one month period the Cabinet Note on both the issues will be sent for inter-ministerial circulation and thereafter within 2-3 months Cabinet approval will be taken.

The 78.2% IDA fitment benefit instead of 68.8% as per DPE OM dated 02.04.2009 has not been implemented by BSNL Management, despite the assurance given by the Hon'ble MoC&IT.  Issue is being dragged by forming a committee.

The assurance given by Hon'ble MoC&IT for the procurement of 10 million GSM lines immediately has been reduced to 5.5 million GSM lines by BSNL Board which will adversely affect the growth of BSNL and its viability.

BSNL Management has promptly paid 3G spectrum charges to DOT Rs.  10,186.56 Cr.  without showing any resistance and request for deferred payment in view of the continuous decline of BSNL's profit and is now ready to make the payment of WiMAX and Broadband about Rs. 9000 Cr. BSNL Management ignoring the protest of JAC and without bothering the BSNL's financial health is trying to exhaust the BSNL reserves. It was seriously viewed and JAC demanded that 3G spectrum charges should immediately be refunded to BSNL and may be taken as deferred payment on yearly basis and further WiMAX/Broadband license fee charges should be paid only on deferred payment basis.

JAC demanded that Govt. of India should issue instructions / order to all Central / State Govt, departments and PSUs to take telecom services compulsorily from BSNL / MTNL only and also should allow BSNL to procure equipments on competitive rates from the suppliers / vendors on international security standards irrespective of technology.

On the above issues, JAC unanimously decided to resort immediate trade union action programmes i.e. Massive Demonstration on Monday, 14th June 2010 during Lunch / Closing hours and Mass Dharna for one day on Wednesday, 16th June 2010 at BSNL Corporate Office, all Circle / SSA HQs. All the Circle / Branch Secretaries are requested to ensure successful implementation of Agitation Programmes. Future course of action will be decided by JAC shortly.

08.06.2010 : GS, President along with CHQ office bearers at New Delhi met PGM (FP) and discussed :

(a) Unjust mass transfers of AOs & CAOs- We expressed our serious resentment against mass transfer orders of AOs / CAOs issued on pick & choose method in violation of BSNL Executive transfer policy. The AOs / CAOs having 57-58 years age have been transferred to distant Circles in large numbers from the Circles on the pretext of long standing and equalisation of vacancies in Circles. We pleaded that we are not against transfers to consider the request transfer cases as well as to fill up some vacant posts of deficit Circles but that should be strictly as per the guidelines of BSNL Executive transfer policy. We demanded to revise the transfer orders as per the transfer policy. PGM (FP) after detailed discussions assured to examine the objections raised by the associations.

We requested that the DE promotion orders on regular and adhoc basis should be issued before 30^th June-2010. So that further ACRs / VCRs are not required. We also resented that for DE regular promotion ACRs of the year 2002 onwards have been again called for by GM (Pers) which will delay the DPC process. It is under stood that the ACRs screening work for DPCs of  DE regular and adhoc was already completed by the committed headed by GM(Pers ) and now again repeating the same exercise will further delay the DPC process. We requested that at this belated stage the change of DPC members is not justified. Dir(HR) assured to look into the matter.

(b)  Unjust mass transfers of AOs & CAOs- We expressed our serious resentment against mass transfer orders of AOs / CAOs issued on pick & choose method in violation of BSNL Executive transfer policy. The AOs / CAOs having 57-58 years age have been transferred to distant Circles in large numbers from the Circles on the pretext of long standing and equalisation of vacancies in Circles. We pleaded that we are not against transfers to consider the request transfer cases as well as to fill up some vacant posts of deficit Circles but that should be strictly as per the guidelines of BSNL Executive transfer policy. We demanded to revise the transfer orders as per the transfer policy. Dir(HR) assured to look in to the matter.
