22.10.2021 Central Working Committee Meeting held on 19.10.2021:-

CWC meeting of AIBSNLEA has been successfully conducted on 19.10.2021 in online mode. It was attended by all the CHQ Office Bearers, CHQ Advisers, Circle Secretaries, Circle Presidents and CWC Members from all over India. After opening remarks by All India President Com. Subhasis Mitra, two minutes silence has been observed in the memory of the OBs & Members of AIBSNLEA and the Employees of BSNL including retirees who lost their lives during the tough time of Covid-19 Pandemic.

General Secretary Com. S.Sivakumar has placed GS report before the House and delivered inaugural address to the House. All the Circle Secretaries have placed their report and status about the Organization in their respective Circles and offered very good suggestions. Queries were raised by the CSs about updating on various HR issues & BSNL Revival Package. Chairman, all the Organizing Secretaries and Assistant General Secretaries have also expressed their views and suggestions for the betterment of the Organization, their Members as well as BSNL.

Com. S. Sivakumar, General Secretary has replied all the queries raised by the CSs, CPs & CWC Members on various issues. He also discussed about all the burning issues related to BSNL as well as Executives. He updated the House on post VRS structure of BSNL, Restructuring & Manpower Planning in BSNL and the future Road Map for the Revival of BSNL.

GS also explained about the allocation of 4G Spectrum to BSNL, funds for implementation of 4G Services in BSNL as a part of revival Plan & Compensation from Govt. of India due to delay in allocation of 4G Spectrum to BSNL.

GS mentioned that the Claims receivable from DoT to BSNL to the tune of Rs.29,540 Crore is pending towards Viability Gap for Rural Telephony, Surrender of Wimax & CDMA Spectrum, Excess payment of Pension Contribution & Leave salary reimbursement, outstanding for various Projects (Bharat Net, LWE, USO Funded- A&N, Lakshdweep, Assam, Amaranth Yatra, Wi-fi Hotspots etc.), Providing Telecom Services, Building/ space Rent and reimbursement of Staff relate claims etc.     

GS further mentioned that the CHQ accepted the Verdict given by the Majority Executives of BSNL and most of the Executives were voted for a particular Association in the name of DR. The main reason for becoming 3rd position is reduction of our Membership due to VRS and more number of CHQ Office bearers, Circle Secretaries and Circle Office bearers have gone on VRS. However we continue our efforts more aggressively to safe guard the Interest and achieve the Legitimate Rights & Issues of all the BSNL Executives. To further strengthening AIBSNLEA, the New Talented Youngsters to be inducted as members as well as the office bearers in the Districts, Circles and CHQ level.

Sivakumar, GS AIBSNLEA  for uniting  all the BSNL Unions and Associations under the Umbrella of AUAB

 

Com. S.Sivakumar, GS AIBSNLEA in his Special Address extended his sincere thanks and gratitude to the Circle Team for arranging the Physical Circle Conference during the Covid-19 Pandemic situation and giving the opportunity to address the Conference. 

 

 In his One and half hour address, he has elaborated about the Financial Status/Revival of BSNL, timely payment of Salary, Restructuring, Status of Promotions, Launching of 4G ,AUAB meeting and other burning issues as detailed below:

 

He mentioned that due to continuous and consistent efforts of AIBSNLEA , 3697 JTO (T)s were promoted as SDE (T) under 67% SCF quota on  8.7.2021 early morning. AIBSNLEA also demanding the Management for the immediate conduct ion of LDCE under 33% quota for the VY 2011-12 onwards and LICE for CSS Cadre in BSNL CO from the VY 2015 onwards(Asst. Manager to Dy. Manager).

 

AIBSNLEA has taken up the issues of E1+5 increments, E1A to E2, increase of SAB benefit to 30%, timely remittance of SAB recoveries and immediate formation of PRMB Trust and immediate preparation and issuance of JTO AIEL, JAO/AO Seniority list. AIBSNLEA insisted the BSNL Management for the immediate Compassionate Ground Appointment to the dependent of the employees succumbed to Covid-19.

 

GS also explained about the continuous efforts and discussion had with the CMD, Director HR and PGM (Pers.) by the GS AIBSNLEA regarding the finalization SDE Seniority List.No.9 as per the Date of Joining in pursuance to the  Hon’ble Supreme Court Orders. Finally on 09.7.2021, BSNL Management issued Speaking Order in favors of Date Joining. It is the Major Achievement in the History of AIBSNLEA.

Due to consistent efforts of AIBSNLEA BSNL Employees Health Insurance Policy 2021” to the willing BSNL Employees in addition to BSNL MRS has been finalized and approved by the Competent Authority within a short span of One Month.

 

He mentioned that AIBSNLEA has taken up the issue of withdrawal the arbitrary orders of reducing the Pay and recovery to the tune of Rs.7 Lakh to 12 Lakh from the JAOs of 1999 batch (Who have opted VRS) of Telangana and AP Circle with the BSNL Management and finally succeeded. 

 

He  further mentioned that due to dip in revenue collections during April & May 2021 and in view of the payment of Statutory dues, EB Bills, quarterly repayment of loan amount of about Rs.970 Crore, the payment of Salary for the month of May is badly delayed. Even though we are requesting the Management to disburse the salary every month on the due date, but the BSNL Management is disbursing the Salary after 20th of the following month for the past 18 months. He told that the issue of timely payment of Salary has already been taken up by AUAB with the Management.

 

Launching of 4G is badly delayed due to non-consideration of BSNL Global Tender towards the purchase of 57000 4G Equipments by the Empowered Technology Group (ETG) in the name of ‘Atamnirbhar Bharat’and the Indigenous 4G Tender (EoI) on PoC basis as recommended by the ETG has also been opened on 20.6.2021 and instructions issued to the Field Units in this regard on 30.6.2021. So the vison of BSNL for earning more revenue through launching of 4G Services is further delayed. it is quite unfortunate that the proposal for up gradation of 18,000 BTSs supplied by M/s Nokia for West and South Zones with an Estimated cost of Rs.550 Cr has not been approved by the BSNL Board Meeting held on 23.07.2021. It is second time that the up gradation proposal was turned down by the BSNL Board. It is a major setback for BSNL Revival plan and the 4G launching is unduly delayed even though the Union Cabinet given approval for 4G spectrum to BSNL from the Budgetary Support on 23.10.2019.

 

 In the name of Restructuring/ Manpower Plan and pending SLP at Hon’ble Supreme Court tagged with Jairnal Singh Case, all the Promotions are strucked-up. AIBSNLEA strongly opposed the undue delay in Restructuring Process and Promotions and continuous looking-after arrangement instead of   Regular Promotions to maintain the Services.

 

GS AIBSNLEA & CHQ Team made presentation before the CMD BSNL, Director (HR) and all the Members of High Power Committee regarding Manpower plan & Restructuring during Feb. and March 2021. BSNL Management appreciated our concern and assured to look into our suggestions/ inputs. He mentioned that earlier CAO and DGM (Engg.) Posts were provisioned very less vide the Restructuring letter dated 27.08.2020. As per the AIBSNLEA views and suggestions vide our letter dated 18.02.2021 & 19.02.2021 followed by detailed discussions with all the Committee Members the CAOs and DGM (Engg.) posts are increased in the Op Area offices. However as per the Restg. Cell letter dated 28.06.2021, the CAO posts are increased but AO & JAO posts are withdrawn.

 

He explained about the presentation and Comments/Views/ Suggestions given by GS, AIBSNLEA regarding Man Power Norms before the CMD BSNL, the Board of Directors and Senior Officers in the AUAB Agenda Meeting held on 02.07.2021. On the basis of the discussion we submitted our views, suggestions and justifications regarding Restructuring and Manpower Norms to the Management vide AIBSNLEA letter dated 06.07.2021 and AIBSNLEA is holding discussions continuously with the High Power Committee Members.

 

Restg. Cell has drastically reduced the Posts of JTOs, JAOs and AOs as against the working strength and it is an Arbitrary and unjustified decision. Lateral entry in Group B (JTO) posts are drastically reduced which is not helpful for operational activity. JTO is the Feeder cadre of the Telecom Wing and Main Promotion cadre from JEs. The present working strength of JTO(T) is 14,536 but it has been reduced to 11,283. This will impact on the field activities and later on BSNL Services.

 

JAO is the Feeder cadre of the Finance Wing and Main Promotion cadre of Clerical/Sr. Accountant Cadres etc. The present working strength of JAO is 2,351 but it has been reduced to 1,890. Likewise the present working strength of AOs is 1,961 but it has also been reduced to 1,547.

 

Now, for the span off control, considering SDE/JTOs and AO/JAOs as equivalent cadres, which is not justified and this will be reverse of Pyramid Structure and such Organization will fail in long run as no Promotional Avenues will be available.

 

He further mentioned that the BA concept is formed with GM/PGM level Officers heading it, whereas the number of absorbed GM/PGM level officers available in BSNL is very few. The deputation of the ITS Officers will end in March, 2023, on diminishing basis. On a calculated move, BSNL Management borrowed many ITS officers from DOT from time to time on temporary basis to fill up the white collar Posts in the grade of SAG/HAG in violation of the MOU for curtailing the posts of ITS Deputation year by year. Whether this Restg. Exercise by reducing the Promotional avenues of BSNL Executives and increasing the GM/PGM level Posts and keeping it vacant is going to help the Revival of BSNL? Even at present many GM level Posts are lying vacant in SSA/BAs whereas so many ITS Officers in the GM level are posted in the Circle Head Quarters, Metro Cities and BSNL Corporate Office.

 

 

Thirdly, the total Manpower has been shown clubbing all the equivalent cadres with no break up of Streams. This has been done perhaps to hide the partisan view of the Management and we are of the opinion that the Management is not transparent to declare/share the Cadre/Stream/ Discipline wise working strength and proposed Man Power with the Stake Holders. So the need of the hour is Management has to declare/share the details of each Cadre with the Stake Holders for the transparent/Open minded discussion regarding the justification of each Post/Cadre. It appears to us that the Manpower Norms prepared by the Restg Cell is vitiated by cronyism and Forum shopping to further the career interest of the Creamy layer at the cost of that of the Bottom layer.

He told that AIBSNLEA CHQ is continuously put it best efforts for the release the Promotion orders in all the Streams.

He briefed about the pending Opex, Capex Liabilities, Bank Loan and latest financial condition of BSNL. He also explained about the various letters written by the CHQ to the Secretary (T) DoT for the immediate release of Rs.30,000 Crore towards the Claims Receivable from DoT to BSNL, which includes Rural subsidy, excess payment of Pension Contribution & reimbursement of Leave Encashment, etc., AIBSNLEA CHQ Leaders also met the Member (Finance) and other Senior Officers in DoT and explained about the justified Claims of BSNL and requested for early release of the same so as to meet out the Bank Loans, Capex & Opex etc., But till date  BSNL has not received any support from DoT.

GS explained about the decisions taken in the AUAB meeting held on 21.6.2021, 1.7.2021 and details of discussions meeting held with CMD, Board of Directors and Senior Officers with the AUAB Leaders on 30.6.2021 and 2.7.2021. He explained the about the Dharna conducted at Jantar Mandhar, Delhi from 21.9.2021 to 23.9.2021 and the decisions taken in the AUAB meeting held on 23.9.2021 and  25.9.2021. He requested 100 % participation of all the members in the Agitational Programme organized by AUAB for the revival of BSNL.

 

GS requested all the members to work hard in order to strengthen AIBSNLEA in AP Circle by educating them about the works done by AIBSNLEA in the past and present scenario.

 

 He further mentioned that AIBSNLEA is always vociferously raising the issues and genuine grievances of the Executives before the Management and continuously addressing the issues and assured that AIBSNLEA always working for the settlement of all the genuine demands of the Executives and continue its Separate Identity.

"A customer is the most important visitor on our premises. He is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption of our work. He is the purpose of it. He is not an outsider of our business. He is part of it. We are not doing him a favour by serving him. He is doing us a favour by giving us the opportunity to do so."........Mahatama Gandhi Ji..........Message to BSNL employees, which is the need of hours.....If we follow the same, definatly BSNL will  become once again number one brand of  Telecom Sector......
