Today GS & AGS AIBSNLEA met with CMD BSNL:

At the outset, we congratulated CMD BSNL for making efforts by his good office and his Team to create the Trust & Faith in BSNL among the Investors since BSNL got over subscribed of the BSNL Bonds issued on 21.09.2020 i.e. more than twice for a total worth of Rs.17183.10 Cr. 

CMD BSNL thanked the Investors to show their faith in BSNL and mentioned that due to positive & constructive support from the Secretary (Telecom), DoT Officers, Ministry of Finance/Govt. Of India and the untiring efforts made by BSNL officers involved in the matter, it was possible. It was a time bound work and successfully released within a short span of time. 

We discussed regarding:

(A) Status of Reversion of 2007- LDCE SDEs (2001 DR Batch):

CMD mentioned that the Committee has been constituted to resolve the issue and it is expected that committee will submit its report very soon and will be resolved thereafter. However, CMD mentioned that he is not aware about the latest development and advised us to meet the officers concerned in this regard.  

Earlier, as requested by AIBSNLEA, a Committee was formed to look in to the issues regarding Reversion of 2007- LDCE SDEs (2001 DR Batch). AIBSNLEA submitted its views before the Committee Members during the month of June, 2020 as per the Directions of the Director (HR). The Committee required reports from all the Circles. The same was received by the Pers. Branch. Several rounds of meeting of the Committee was conducted for the past 4 months and it is reliably learnt that recommendation of the Committee is  positive and the decision will be taken after the approval of the Competent Authority shortly.

(B) Status of JAO 1999 Batch Pay fixation and recovery issue in respect of Telungana and AP Circles:- GS handed over the letters written by GS AIBSNLEA in this regard to CMD BSNL. CMD assured that the issue will be resolved after discussion with the Director (HR).

GS briefed about the history of the case & regarding the discussions already held with Director (HR) and his team in this regard. CMD assured to look into the matter.

(C) Regularization of Salary:-  We enquired about the disbursement of Monthly Salary in time since BSNL got money through Bonds and the employees are facing financial problems in the absence of timely payment of monthly salary to them. CMD mentioned that BSNL has more than 20000 Crore Loan from Banks, first it will be reduced and the disbursement of monthly Salary will be streamlined within few months.

(D) Regular Promotions in all the Streams since acute shortage in almost all the Cadres due to VRS-19:

CMD mentioned that after Restructuring is completed and implemented, the promotions will also be looked into wherever due/feasible & possible.

CMD was too busy and we could not discuss remaining issues due to paucity of time. CMD assured to meet again and discuss remaining issues in detail.

25.09.2020

The RLC (Central) conducted a conciliation meeting on 24.9.2020, on the demands contained in the Strike Notice, served by the AUAB for the 3 days Strike which took place from 18th February, 2019. Com.S.Sivakumar, GS, AIBSNLEA, Com.P.Abhimanyu, Convenor, AUAB & GS BSNLEU, Com.Suresh Kumar, GS, BSNL MS, Com.Anil Kumar, GS, BSNL ATM and Com.H.P.Singh, GS, BSNL OA, participated in this conciliation. From the BSNL Management side, Shri A.K.Sinha, DGM(SR) participated in the conciliation meeting. The important arguments placed by the AUAB in the meeting are as detailed below:-

1.  Allotment of 4G spectrum to BSNL:The Government has allotted 4G spectrum to BSNL. But, BSNL could not launch 4G Service, due to the cancellation of its 4G Tender, as per the directive of the Government of India. The AUAB demanded that BSNL should be allowed to launch its 4G Service immediately.

2.     Pay Revision to Employees: The DoT has already directed BSNL Management to immediately negotiate the wage settlement of the Non-Executives, sign the agreement and send the same for the approval of the DoT. However, BSNL Management had abruptly discontinued the wage negotiation. BSNL Management should be told to resume the wage negotiations.

3.     Pension Revision: Pension Revision has already been implemented to the DoT retirees. Whereas, their counterparts in BSNL, are not getting the Pension Revision till date. The Government should immediately implement Pension revision to the BSNL retirees by de-linking it from the Pay revision of the serving employees.

4.     Payment of Pension contribution: The AUAB demanded that the Government of India Rule should be implemented in respect of payment of Pension Contribution by BSNL to DoT. (i.e.,  As per F.R.116,  Pension contribution to be paid on actual basic Pay instead of the Maximum of the Pay Scale).

5.     Superannuation Benefits (SAB) of the Directly Recruited employees: The CMD BSNL assured in February, 2019 that BSNL's contribution towards the SAB would be increased by 3% before 31.03.2019 and the short fall in BSNL’s 30% contribution would be made good in the subsequent financial year. The Management has gone back from this assurance. The settlement of this demand should not be dragged on, by linking it with the financial condition of the Company.  The Management should immediately start contributing its full 30% contribution towards the SAB.

After the discussion, the RLC directed the BSNL Management to discuss and decide the issue of at least Wage Revision of the Non-Executives. Next sitting of the Conciliation will be held at 11:30 hrs on 26.11.2020.

24.09.2020 GS writes to Shri P.K. Purwar, CMD BSNL requesting to issue necessary instructions/guidelines to all concerned for plugging the extraordinary slips in the growing up FTTH Sector for BSNL through N/E LCOs to avert turns which may open up Pandora Box resulting in nail-biting situations to BSNL....

AIBSNLEA CHQ received feedback from many of the Circle Secretaries & Field Units that wide spared anguish are being reported by many of the BSNL FTTH Customers connected through N/E LCOs that Voice quality is not there, unpleasant noise while on hook, one-way speech etc. etc.,

On behalf of AIBSNLEA, we submitted our suggestions & views that:

*Quality of both “Voice” and “Data” may be ensured...

*AT procedure for BSNL OLTs may be extended to non-BSNL OLTs also...

*Authenticity of address for FTTH provision by LCOs may be cross checked...

*As per the constraints in allotment of VLAN-ID for Voice Service, chance of disguised fraudulent voice calls prevails in FTTH Service. Any Directory number can be configured from any other ONT. This may be arrested by providing password changing options to the Customers. This can be implemented through NIB Nodes...

Director (Finance) mentioned that it is the Team work and it is the credibility of the BSNL where Investors have shown their faith in BSNL. On behalf of AIBSNLEA, we congratulated CMD BSNL, Board of Directors and the Banking Team of BSNL Corporate Office for making untiring efforts for the successful release of BSNL Bonds with in a short time. We  discussed regarding:

(1)Compensation for the BSNL employees who are maintaining essential Telecom Services throughout India against COVID-19 and financial assistance and compassionate appointment to the bereaved family member(s) of BSNL Employees, who expired due to Covid-19:

AIBSNLEA taken up the matter with CMD BSNL & Director (Fin.) and  discussed in several meetings since March 2020. As per the request of AIBSNLEA, a proposal has been moved for the Compensation to the bereaved family members of BSNL Employees, who expired due to Covid-19 for the approval of CMD BSNL.

In addition to that as requested by AIBSNLEA with CMD BSNL and Director (Fin.) on 25.08.2020, a MC Note was moved for considering Compassionate Appointment to the eligible bereaved family members of the deceased BSNL Employee.

It is reliably learnt that the issue was discussed in the Management Committee Meeting held on 22.09.2020 and the MC required some additional inputs in this regard.

AIBSNLEA will continue its efforts for getting compensation and compassionate appointment for the bereaved family members of the deceased BSNL employees.

(2)Consideration of request transfers of Accounts Personnel:

We requested the Director (Fin) to consider the pending request transfers in the Cadre of CAO/AO since they have already completed more than 30 months service in the present Circle and requested for transfer back to their Home Circles to join with their family. We also impressed upon the Director (Fin) that the Accounts Personnel are facing so much problems due to Covid-19 in other than their Home Circles and further requested to consider the transfer requests on Humanitarian Grounds. Director (Fin) assured to consider the transfer requests on priority basis. However, Director (Fin) mentioned that the orders will be issued after analyzing and reviewing the Overall Scenario of Man Power Planning due to the proposed Restructuring of SSAs and BAs in BSNL.

(3) Post reduction due to Restructuring, Consolidation of SSAs into BAs: We brought to the kind attention of the Director (Fin.) that due to merger of small SSAs and creation of Business Areas, so many DGM/AGM/CAO posts are reduced. We further explained to the Dir (Fin) that new GMs posts are creating by surrendering DGM and AGM posts. We strongly protested against the move of the BSNL Management by reduction of DGM/AGM/CAO posts which will drastically affect the promotional avenues of the Young Executives.

We requested on the basis of the revenue of the SSAs in the Category 1,2,3 BAs, sufficient numbers of DGM/AGM/CAO posts has to be created without any additional expenditure since more number of eligible Executives waiting for their due promotions.

We expressed our serious concern regarding the reduction of DGM (F) Posts to CAOs in the Category 2 Business Areas and we demanded DGM (Accs & Budg) should be posted in the category 2 BAs instead of CAOs.

After patient hearing, Director (Fin) assured to discuss our suggestions and views with the CMD and Director (HR).
